It has pretty much been a non event here too. Did all this dang work over the weekend all over the property for little more than a rain event. I really needed to do it anyway before the rainy season starts. Got 2 more man toys out of the deal, a new chainsaw and generator.

Trying to stay motivated at work but hard too knowing I am going on vacation next week!! Disney reports that the parks except the water parks will be open tomorrow with normal operating hours. People reporting on the Disney blog currently at Disney World say pretty much all the damage is to the trees and vegetation.

This is what Im really hoping will happen. Im trying to get my painter out there soon to help set up a paint booth or something that will suffice for spot ins and smaller quick jobs. Painter would not mind moving away from the shop either, or having enough side work to double his pay checks.

The car made it out to my shop. Tomorrow night my PDR guy and I are going to go full swing at it, and try and have it turned around in 3 days.

The driveway fix is a temporary fix till I can replace the pipe next summer.

The wife was hesitant about spending the money getting a generator at first, till she found out how fast they were selling out. She was relieved I got one and now she is really wanting to get the transfer switch and generator hookup to the house.

Side jobs are cool, I have a hard enough time making it thru the work week and working around the property on the weekends so I would not even think about a side job.

Got some serious **** done on the side job. PDR guys kid will trade me work for work, he has a GMC sierra dad just got him, and dad wants things done to it, Ill do the work for work.

Also thinking about hiring a guy from church to help on the weekends with mowing, wiring, painting, organizing, and working on cars. So this could really go off.

Shocked with everything your ordered I was sure a set of custom made ears would be there. Funny how America worships a mouse. Just makes you wanter aboutb the state of the nationn when he was created. But we also had a talking moose and horse two super hero that were animals. Tjen that big yellow bird came along

This time next week I will off work, doing the last bit of packing, loading the hummer and probibly doing back flips. I have never looked forward to a vacation like I have this one. This one is going to be great considering we have not been on one for a while or this long.

I will try and post our daily adventures.
