I am Just about have the hood puzzle together. It should take me about 2 or 3 hours tomorrow morning to finish it up. Waiting on a few parts they didn't order and should be all wrapped up by Wednesday next week.

I love that estimate for labor for equipment is in days and weeks not hours.

Did everybody make it home after the fire and collapse of I85 at Piedmont

The collapse caused no problems for me today. Tomorrow I was planning on going into the Atlanta office to drop off paperwork. I'll go to Gainesville since all that happened a quarter mile from the office. Why chance it.

The couple that bought the lot next to ours live in Stone Mountain but he works in Smyrna said he went that way everyday and he made thru but got caught in the rage shooting in 78. You momay use to work at Tools Warehouse before they closed and she retired. I forgot the road but it was close to the Doll House

The news stations started their morning news casts 30 minutes early. I am sure it is going to get UGLY today while people try to figure their new commute route out. Glad I am not going to be anywhere close to that mess.

Tornadoes are what I worry about most during spring storms.

My plans were to go into the office this morning, which is 1/4 mile south of the fire on Armour Dr. That went out the window as soon as the road collapsed. Guess I won't be going there near as often as before. Talked to a couple of the installers, and they said it was terrible both into, and out of the office.

I was listening to 95.5 and glad I don't have to go anywhere near there. Waiting on some parts they didn't order for the hood and then I can finish up the mods. Cat came out with the mods to keep the solid rubber tire loaders from shaking the hoods and support system apart.

Lots of dissatisfaction at work. Management raised the bar on getting a monthly performance bonus, yearly safety bonus, no overtime, etc, etc. One of the guys came in monday night and quit and took his tools home.

I bet Atlanta is going to do a major look at and movement of stuff stored under bridges.

4 weeks until our beach weekend and I can't wait!!
