Good afternoon folks

Warm and dry still out this way

Playing a game of hurry up and wait, waiting for a call from a guy that lives halfway across town to look at a house, place is only 8 blocks from my place and 6 blocks from the jobsite.

We have noticeable smoke only on Thursday, it helped kill the 30 C heat.

This smoke came in like a fog, sure was hard on the lungs with 2 bags of groceries in each hand. Seems like a cloud as the moon keeps going through different shades of orange.

Thankfully forest fire smoke has never bothered me.
Two bags of groceries in each hand? With the price of groceries you must have robbed a bank!
Speaking of robbing banks the price of gas here jumped about 7-10 cents a litre since that hurricane hit Texas. The cheapest is $1.04,s high is $1.09
At least the price of diesel hasn`t moved from 86.9.

I work the sales cycle and save a fortune and get to eat like I'm rich, having a freezer helps and knowing how to cook comes in handy. Had the feeling petrol was going up so I fueled up at the Domo on Thursday and got the $.04 a litre discount, paid 89.9 litre

Another semi sunny day in paradise.
Earlier this week gas was 86.9 at Costco Perry.
How much more do you have to go on your truck Grant?

Big weather change today, from 30 yesterday to 20 with a cool wind and it looks like theres going to be a storm tonight. Yesterday it was a smoke fog and tonight it feels like rain. Had a rough time dealing with a counter and sink part of this basement reno, turns out the wall was off by 1 1/4" over 6', the other wall has a 3/4" bulge in it where the guy joined his drywall 30" out from the sink wall. Place smells a lot better now that all the rotted wood is gone.
