April Chat Thread
We are back!
The weather was perfect while we were there. We had a great time, the wife even had a good time. It was a lot more laid back this time since I didn't try to do a ton of stuff. We just kinda rolled with the flow. Little man did so good getting letting the lady cut his hair. He even wore his ears for a long time after he got them. The wife said she is up for another trip in a year or two. Would like to visit again but I want to maybe go to Universal Studios or do Discovery Cove.

weather went from being nice to **** here. Talked to my dad sunday whos in GA, he said it was nice there. My response. Oh yeah, I woke up at 3am to a hell storm, followed by freezing temps. haha
Ive got to mow my land and home yard, do a bunch of outdoor welding, and find the time to work on the trucks. This week will be fun.

I am about tired of the cold and rain, 36 degrees this morning. Worked my butt off getting everything back in order at work yesterday. I take a few days off and it went crazy. The boss said I'm not allowed to take any more vacation time until we get a trained assistant to cover for me while I'm gone. Taking my beat up John Deere riding mower to work today to get it going again.

Record week so far on work orders and labor with 2 more days to go. Ultrasound on my gut tomorrow morning, they think I have a small blood clot in the artery that goes to my pancreas.

Sales are booming too.
They say I have a small blood clot in the artery going to my pancreas, but that's not the cause of my stomach pains. I haven't had to take any pain meds in the past week so I do not think they know exactly whats going on. Everything is yellow here too. Took my John Deere riding mower to work yesterday, The compression release lever keeps breaking off the camshaft., last time it cost me $400 dollars to get it running, this time it will be about $100 bucks in parts. It will be great to have my riding mower again. My wife left my son's Ipad in the buggy at Walmart yesterday. We used the find my Iphone app to try and find it, but she still ran around Walmart for about an hour looking for it. Some lady had it in her buggy just walking around shopping. We think she thought she had a free Ipad until we locked it and made it start making sounds.

I did that at Ingles. Realized it was gone the guy that stole it gave it to her girlfriend she got my # of it. She was stupid enough to call me and ask me to take it of the bad list. Told her I would be glad to call the sheriff instead.

We could see it moving around the store but my wife could not find it, we locked it and made it play sounds. I guess then she realized then that we knew it was lost and she called the number. Then the customer service girl said I just can't give it to you. She made my wife unlock it and then we were golden. Another busy day, seems to be getting steadier instead of up and down. We still have the highs and lows but not so frequently now.

hustle and bustle everyday 530 to 5. clock in to clock out. Today we left about 430. We moved some serious work out the door, and I believe we did 100k+ this week alone. Im tired.
Came home and welded up my fence finally. Fixed some things on it and sent it. now my fence functions perfectly.
Tomorrow, welding, welding, fabrication, welding, priming, and house ceiling mud work for texture. Ive got a long, long day tomorrow.
I like this job too, so we have machines with 7500 watt generators, and they run cables to 3 phase to the platforms, usually average 60 to 250 feet of cable. Guess who has himself some brand new extension cords in the lengths of 20, 30, 65, and 175 feet. Ive also been snagging and bringing home the harnesses and stuff, that run true OFC 8ga, 10ga, 12ga, and 4ga wires. Next audio, home or auto build, I wont need anything but the speakers.
