It was raining so hard I could hardly see driving the forklift.. We quit until it slacked up some then finished the chores. I was soaked clear to and through the skives..

I was already in the midst of the project when the storm blew in.. Tried to finish without getting gear but was mistaken in that quest.. I did put my gear on when we went back out.. Then it quit after some minutes..

Good evening Illinois and lost riffraff!

Today must be the day to fix everything around the house. Started with replacing the fan motor in the A/C condenser unit, replaced a switch for the under cabinet puck lights. then slacked for the rest of the afternoon.

Hello Rick , this morning we looked out the window with disgust as the snow was piling up and blowing like crazy, a winter storm watch in spring of all things. It's mostly melted now and will all be gone tomorrow with warmer temps. Think it will be awhile before we get to use our A/C.
