Good morning Jim, Jay and the rest of the crew stopping by!

Have a great Thirsty Thursday!

We actually got rain last night and it all didn't come in 15 minutes which is nice. The gauge showed we got just over an inch and a half last night.

That is quite a bit of rain. Good it was over a longer duration.

Good morning everybody. Back at work for the first time in a week. It still sucks as much as i remembered.

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..
They were a lot of work. It took me 1 1/2 summers. 40 pallets... each block is #72. My back still hurts and that was 15 years ago. The sump pump only runs a few times in the spring on extremely wet years. I remembered Dar had them both done at the same time. I can't even imagine that. Glad it's working well for her.

No infection thankfully, just a lot of waffling by her doctors. It's been a little annoying, but at least that's the worst of it. Now we'll wait and see if she's good enough for a week at BIR for the nationals. I still have my doubts.

Good evening fellas

Wow Jim - my back hurts just thinking about it.. That's a job I think I would have to hire out...
Hope the missus heals in record time.
We will be leaving on vacation to Michigan for a week tomorrow morning. The Durango is all set... We will be taking the ferry SS Badger from Manitowoc WI to Ludington MI..
