That I am Steve. I will have to rush out of work on Monday to pick it up and drop it off back at storage. They close at 1 today and I am the only one in the office today.

That is probably good picking it up Monday since you really didn't expect it to be done for another week..

Good to hear there is a really good trailer repair shop in your area Shaun, send all the rain you can here as we can certainly use it.
Are Saturday evenings usually busy at work Steve?

It depend Morris.. since the weather has been nice it is a little busy.. most of my time is spent restocking and cleaning.. an hour plus dancing with the blower depending on how messy the customers and crew are..

they would probably let you wait until your day off Shaun.. so you would not be so rushed..

I will tell Ma Nature to start sending the rain your way Morris. We still have concerns about flooding in my area right now. They are draining a lake right now because the dam was damaged and the lake is at full capacity. They have the gates opened on it and are using pumps to get it drained as quickly as possible so they can do a controlled breach of the dam and then start repair work. The large hydro dam in my state still has 16 flood gates open which is down from the 27 they had open the other day.

I can get to them fairly quickly once I get off campus. Just 2 different turns to take to get to the road they sit on. Then 1 u-turn and pull into their parking lot, sign the paperwork and pick it up. Then an easy drive down the street to storage.

There`s always that Steve, another reason why I always had my own business. I had no one to blame for dumb ideas but me.

Sure am glad that I work for myself and don't have any bosses or coworkers to make life difficult although I do get the occasional whack job customer.

Our rain is over for a few days but there's a scorcher coming up on Monday or Tuesday, 31 or hotter. Got everything set up for the sale and dug out a diamond blade so that I can cut the sidewalk blocks up front and finish the first sidewalk, might even correct the sidewalk that leads to the gate as its got a design flaw. Squirrels, birds and cats are fed and watered so now it's my at the trough. Got lots of small jobs to do today and tomorrow.

Have a good day everyone, ttyl.

We typically see 35-45 inches of rain per year and 9- 100 inches of snow per year. The higher amounts are usually in the mountains of the state. We can see the occasional Tropical storm or hurricane. and about 6 tornadoes a year on average.
