Good morning guys.

The drive to and from Granite Falls wasn't bad overall. Some snow and ice covered the roads for a while on the way home but we eventually drove out of that to just wet roads.

Woke up to a non-working sump pump this morning. Yay Monday! Took it out and got it working again. After running non-stop for at least 1/2 hour it's now only running every 5 seconds or so....

G'morning, Fellas -
Jay - isn't that a lovely sound to find in the morning? Glad you're back in business again. That can get you moving quick.... and usually produces colorful language in the process.

Good Christmas season, though. I'll take one or two days off this week as well....you know - ease back into it.

Good morning Jay and Ryan!

That sucks about the sump pump Jay. At least you are good to go again.

Enjoy your days off Ryan.

did you catch it before the floor got wet?

Getting any snow? We are getting sleet right now. Couple inches of snow before that. Radar shows snow but it isn’t. At least not here

Good morning Ryan, Troy, Jim.

Just a little water seeping in the cracks in the floor and a small puddle by the sump basket so not bad at all.

good catch. Spring is typically my high alert season for water in the basement. Moving stuff out of wet areas sucks

Good afternoon guys. Looks like a couple inches of snow so far. Way less than what we lost with all the warmth and rain. Booooo! Still snowing though.

Does it count if I had half a beer? The other half was used for the steak marinade. They were really good steaks. Mmm mmm.
