Good morning fellas

Been up since 5 myself. Sometimes its the brain that won't shut off, sometimes the plumbing. Either way, not much sleep.
We're leaving Friday AM on our vacation to Michigan to visit friends. Busy getting the old Durango ready for the trip.

Happy hump day everybody!

Taking the wife in to see her surgeon for a check up on the new knee. I hope it goes well.

House looks great Jay. I love my walkout, and the 42" door..... big enough for Jr Dragsters, go karts and motorcycles. I did have some water issues when i bought the place. I didn't have standing water, but the slab would wick moisture through the tiny cracks. Regrading the yard, adding retaining walls and the patio fixed it.

She's been up and walking since three hours after her surgery. The GP was concerned about infection last Friday and put her on antibiotics. Lots of swelling yet. It all looks normal to me considering the amount of trauma.

Good afternoon fellas
Almost beer-30 here...
Jim - those retaining walls look like they were a buncha work.
Any problems with the drainage tile being overrun?
Glad the wife is doing well and hopefully no infection! They had Dar up and taking her forst steps in the late afternoon on the day of her surgery. You may recall she got both knees at the same time. She's in great shape now..

No rain down here tonight I hope. We got some yesterday.
