The dentist is going to pull both eye teeth and my front teeth, theres a piece of root in between one eye tooth and the front and we'll see what he does about that Morris.

Went to the auction and bought some stuff that I don't need but there were 3 solid wood doors that I got for $5. 1 for the garage and 2 for the storage shed thats going to get built. The doors are 6' but that works out for how I want to use them, all my doors are going to open outwards and I want a high sill plate in the garage so that I can run my heat ducts along the floor, the shed roof is only just over 6' at its lowest point and the floor is made from skids so I needed to trim the doors anyway.

Most expensive thing I bought was a 57 Chev and a 88 Corvette, the 2 of them were more than half the bill. There was the upper half of an oak china cabinet with lights and in mint condition that I have absolutely no need for, paid $5 for it.

Likely that root in between eye tooth and the front tooth will require surgery Perry, hope that it goes well.
A 6' door would be nice for my shop back door, mine is a little narrow so it`s a tight fit to get things in or out.

I was going to need to shorten the doors anyway and the idea of cutting down 3 $140 doors did not turn me on. I noticed the hinge notches were really close to the top and bottom and when I walked up to them it was obvious these doors were only about 4" taller than me. Suckers are heavy as hell and they've never had a hinge or door **** put on them.

No doubt solid doors that big are very heavy, be careful with your back when moving them.

Got a 2 wheel dolly to move them and blocks to stand them in place, these doors look thicker than normal, might be 2" thick.

Good morning folks.
I`ve got a couple of wheelers, easier than firing up the Bobcat.
How`s your day looking Grant, another busy one?

Electronic Log Book's Some of our driver's are having a hard time understanding them. This is driving me crazy. The rule's haven't changed, and the ELD tells you what you have to do. I have 1 driver, been with us for 15 yrs, and it's like having a trainee. I can't believe it. It's hard to tell a new customer, we're going to be late. I sure hope they get the hang of this soon.

I think I might have a hard time understanding an electronic log book Grant, electronic stuff usually has me baffled.
Good afternoon John, snow is supposed to be headed our way tonight into tomorrow. Then we`re in for bitter cold.

You had a hearing test John?
I have an afternoon dentist appointment tomorrow, if it snows or blows too bad I`ll cancel.

Not a hearing test, just had the hearing aids adjusted and had to sign some papers for compensation who provided the hearing aids, I'm covered for the rest of my life..
