Good morning folks
High of 27 today and it's a day off due to this foot, just enough pain to tell me it'll get a lot worse if I'm on a ladder today, have another Dr. appointment tomorrow and don't want to screw up the foot.
Going to spend the day raking and cleaning up the backyard so it'll be an easy on, might even get my roto tiller going.

Hello Shaun, looks like we both got off work about the same time today.
It`s 22°C here today and 31°C tomorrow Perry, I`m not used to heat just yet either. I didn`t think that your foot sounded good enough for ladder duty, sorry to hear that. Be careful with the roto tiller.

The customer knows that I'm a bit laid up and so does the next customer, these days off let me get the yard in order. The rototiller will be going to James for a week so that he/ his wife can prep their yard for the spring. I'm just getting it ready with a newer motor and aligning the drive pulleys plus remounting the drive/ idler pulley system and shroud plus hooking it up. Won't need to use it myself until I start building my shed in late June .

Even my new or referral customers have known me for a few years and I'm upfront about my health and how it may affect the jobsite . If a yard has no shade they're told that sometimes there's going to be a 2 - 3 hour break during the hot part of the afternoon and I'll show up again around 530 or 6. Good customers want the job done right and for the workmanship to last for years, not for a season or 2. Plus the hot part of the afternoon makes for a good socializing break.

I get to have some pretty good breaks and usually wind up puttering on something and get to have a snack and something cool to drink. Then when it cools off there's a couple of hours to put in and I don't mind getting home at 930 as most of the jobs are within 6 blocks of home, walk to most of them and only use the truck when its needed.
