Howdy. I helped a friend put up fence panels this afternoon. Also ran into an old friend of mine from 10+ years ago. He hasn’t really changed, which isn’t really a good thing...

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Just getting back from an informal coffee meeting where once again we solved the problems of the world. 47.2, dry with a high marine layer. Looks like it might be starting to break up now. Heavy layer coming in off the ocean but it seems to be breaking up as it reaches our hole in the ground.
Have so much to get done, that I'm really not sure where to start at this point.

Good evening Ford Fans.
My pickup wouldn't start after work, tested a few things and had to borrow a company vehicle to get home.

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Turned out to be a pretty nice day outside. Got a few things done on the pickup and the camper. Decided to go over the camper with Meguiar's Marine/RV One Step Compound 67. Thought I would do that and then the boat. Slower going than I thought. I've got a 6" 4000 RPM orbital and 3000 RPM 10" orbital. Using the 6" for application and the 10" for polishing. The problem is that there is just a little more oxidation than what I thought there was. Once I got started you could really see the difference...and the spots I was missing. So, the camper is going to take a little more time than I had planned for. Really making me rethink starting on the boat. Wax may be just fine for it for now.

Morning Pat, looking good here, may even get too warm for me today. Plugging away on the daughters place (Princess Palace as some call it).

Morning Andy. Define "too warm". I don't think it's ever gotten that way for me...LOL

What all are you doing to the daughters house?

Pat, anything over 75 is too warm unless I'm in the water.

Building an apartment in the top of the barn for her and a friend as they go to college. As long as they are going to school it will be rent free they just pay the electrical and internet. Oh, it is just under 2000 square feet so... yeah kinda nice. Just finished framing all the walls. Starting to run electrical and insulate the two bedrooms.

Morning Chris. I'm good with heat. Not a fan of humidity, but I'll certainly take it warm! Hate days like that, Chis. Makes for a long damn day.

Andy, awful nice of you! I'm sure the girls will appreciate it!
