Hump day is here!
I talked the wife into going to Mickey's not so scary halloween party at Disney World in October. No park days just camping, relaxing and the party in the magic kingdom that one night. I have to hurry and reserve our camping spot because they fill up quickly.

Someone broke into and set the convenience store down the road on fire. General consensus is the owners did it for insurance money.

That the lake you took the boat out on? The waterpark on the lake?

That store on the main rd just before your rd?

Yes it is somewhere along the lake
Yes it's one of the ones on the main rd.
Had our first shipment of Honda stuff come in yesterday, got it put together and input in the system. Boss got a huge cooler of Gatorade since it is so hot, even in the shop with the fans going.

TGIF!!
The maintenance supervisor is coming today to do the monthly inspection and review. Things are slowing down a little, which is nice for me so I can get caught up on other things.

yeah I know. I need to slow it down. Thankfully they have healed up nice. Half a finger nail left on the other one, had to cut half off because it was flappin.

My hands have definitly been on a journey.

Today I had to go out and paint a new machine today. Duplicate of the one I posted. If I posted. If I didnt, I will.
They let me have a company truck too, and it was me and a direct coworker out there by ourselves. We got to leave about 3 ish to 330, and it still took either of us 3 hours to get close to home.

I took a panoramic photo, this is only half of it. The machine in the background is the one I painted a while back. This is the second one in pieces, and they have 2 more on the way. The truck right there, is about the same size as the cabin right behind the truck. You can see this machine from miles if its a decently clear view. Its that large.
