I have plenty to do around the house to keep me busy but then I can spread it out over the week instead of a mad dash over the weekend. Or do nothing at all and spend time with my little man.

Today was semi productive. Water pump on everything back together. My electric fans never came on. So tomorrow that fan controller I bought from sumitt goes back. I just use a switch and 2 relays and turn them on when I need them.


Got the body moldings on

Don't need fans this week Hugh. Trucks looking good.

Gonna have to look at taking Mondays off when working the following Saturday, it might help defeat those 6 day work week blues.

Thank you Bob. The temp got up to 220 sitting on the pad. Heavy duty relays on order picked up a lighted toggle switch tonight. Will mount right next to the mechanical gauge. Wire it to an ignition on power source 14.00 vs 120.00

Working more than 5 days a week is the worst. I've been there done that too many times. Getting ready to start on the new hardwood floor for the wife. Looks like I am moving furniture, pulling up carpet and painting trim this weekend.

Moving right along on the truck Hugh!!

It's hump day !!!! This week seems to be dragging by.

Nothing to work on this morning so I get to stand around for 45 minutes till I can clock in on training or something.

You are always busy.
Lexie told me something funny last night. She said she almost hates seeing close to finishing the truck cause I would have nothing to do. I just pointed to her golf cart and reminder her that I got land to clear.

Yes there is always something to do.
Our luggage and the Disney tickets arrived in the mail today!!!! The luggage ended up being real nice and might order another set. My wife said we don't take that many clothes so why do we need another set? I said you and our daughter pack like you are never coming home again even for a weekend trip.

Going to link the tickets which are cards now and the magic bands together tonight. I spent all day doing online training, it was easy but made the day last forever.

I am a formal Summit customer. Took that $120.00 fan controller back all they wanted to do was give me another one. Refused to do a refund. Told them no refund I would shop Jets from now on. Their reply I don't care

I just hate it when a company decides to get rid of customer service. Fastest way to lose business.

When I worked at 7-11 we would swap milk regardless where it came from. $2.99 was nothing compared to all the bad word of mouth that we sold bad milk

It's all about making a profit and gotten a lot worse the past 5 or so years, especially with internet shopping. And those automated phone operators, please press one drives me nuts.

Work up with a pounding headache, going to be a long day at work I can see it now.

Took some sinus meds and the pounding is gone but I'm still at work.

Servicing a landfill dozer, how yummy.
