I have quit smoking 3 times, easy to fall back into an old habits.

Pulled the old water pump off the suburban this morning. I bought a new one off amazon but it won't be here till Wednesday. Good thing I did, as I found out the AC belt is about worn out and probibly would not have lasted much longer.

4 weeks till vacation !!! Right now I will be relaxing at the pool at Disney World with an adult drink!!

Any kind of change takes time, just go slow and make little ones here and there till you are where you want to be.

Worked outside yesterday and it was not too bad. The cloud cover and light wind made it real nice. I remember last year at this time I was almost dying from heat stroke.

It has not rained up here in 2 or 3 weeks, my grass is starting to turn brown.

It can rain like crazy but all I care about is that Florida doesn't get hit by something from the 21st of Sept to 1 Oct.

My Urologist would prefer I slip the hip replacement till Dec to make sure I am completely healed from this surgery. My ortho is ok with it. So I guess I get a new hip for Christmas

There are 2 boss's, one for new used and rental and one for the main shop. The rental boss works for the main shop boss. I chewed out the main shop boss but all is good now.

A light sprinkle starting in Austell, I have some inside work planned since it looks like the rain is coming.
