I watched a good bit but I was cleaning up the future man room. The last lap was the best part anyway. I had to fix the electric fence on the lower pasture, I busted one wire when I mowed last week. Made me a hoop for my tomato plant.

Trying to move a carport, one of those $695 ones you see all over.
We brought it with us when we moved up here for the horses. They stand out in the rain anyway, so I am moving it to put the boat under it. I am just pouring sweat.

Drive Shaft and Differential Repair Company in Norcross, GA

American Drive Shaft | Auto Repair | Emission Testing

I have never used either one of them. Last one I used was in Macon and he was kinda pricey

Last test tomorrow morning for Yancey Bros then hopefully I get a job offer real quick after that.

My daughter's boyfriend and my buddy down the street are going to help me move it. It's not all that heavy just kinda wide. We are thinking of rolling it on some landscape timbers.

I make money. I know this. I was a business major in college, 2 degrees for 2 different types. I make good money. And part time commission job is also gravy. and owning a side job for maintenance/mechanic is also gravy. The full time shop job doesnt cut it now, but rough patch and lack of car wrecks I understand. But the people there and coworkers and laughing and cutting up make it worth it to come in. Other 2 would kill me right now. But my customer basis is growing, and they have so far been a joy to work with and talk with.
