Not much until 9 ,have a show to watch that ends the series. Was in Dryden today to pick up the steel I need to lift the panel and met up with some friends. It was a nice day for driving too, only a little mist of rain in a few places..

Evening Rick. Going to be in the 60's here for the weekend. Sounds like and looks like it has been raining some here. The remnants of Florence had the possibility of getting this far north as it traveled through the northern part of PA

Whazzup guys?
Utility is putting in some fiber optic in the neighborhood. 10 guys show up at 7am today in our neighborhood and were finishing up at 7pm tonight. Digging 4' deep 4' long trenches and laying in 2- 3'' cables. Not a word of english spoken, but dang, those guys worked their asses off. Millennial work ethic musta skipped the hispanics.
