Good evening Jim and...

Pray nobody was in that car!!
I was a few miles West of that area this morning.



I thought that I would share some work lights I made up. I bought some 120v landscape put magnets on them and wah-la.

I take it you are using them as work lights and not 'landscape' lights. Looks pretty sharp. I've got 3 battery operated LED lights. All have magnetic mounts on them. 1 uses AA batteries and it's very conservative on them. 2 of them recharge by USB cable that can be plugged into the USB ports in the pickup and car. Very bright and come in very, very handy.

I needed something bright, small and not attached to the limits of a cord. The two USB rechargeable are Feit Electronics and I think I got them at Costco. 3 power settings and they are extremely bright, even on the low setting.

They work fantastic for camping and power outages or any place else light is needed as well. I haven't had the drop light out of the tool cabinet in a month of Sunday's.

I have a few battery powered lights that are great, but I wanted something that didn't need batteries when working on vehicles at home.

"Situational Awareness" Training this morning for the crew. Yesterday I just inked paperwork for a brand new paving machine. Looks like Benton Co is in the paving business...

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 35, wet and rain.

Heading out to Woodland Washington and the G Loomis Fishing Pole plant with my buddy in a couple of minutes. We're going to go see what makes a fishing pole worth $500!

Jim - that sound like a good way to spend the day. I have built a lot of my own rods and built some for others as well. I'm not sure it's really cheaper to build them than to just buy them. I only have one G Loomis and it's an awesome rod but I got it on clearance and it was only $200. I couldn't pass it up. haha.

Andy did you find out what was or if something was wrong with the transmission?
