Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else.

Hang in there Chris. Construction season is on, but it does sound like they need a couple of temp drivers to give everyone a break. Do they have any extra trucks for temps to drive?

Good Wednesday morning Ford Drivers.

No extra trucks when one breaks we're scrambling.
Looking over my payroll, in 3+ years there's only 5 weeks I've not had overtime.

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 25 and clear. Sun is making an appearance over the trees.

I’m sure some of us could use a loan with repayment terms akin to Federal Student loans.👍
Sounds like it wouldn’t hurt them to hire at least a part time.

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. About 5 miles from Alpha. Warden hasn’t gotten lost yet.

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 49.2 and overcast, and the Wx man says it's going to start raining in 10 to 15 minutes.
Heading out to the VAMC in PDX for X-Rays and the Post Op clinic. Hoping I loose the external plumbing.

Chris, keeping the same layout for the most part. Don't think I will need to move pipes. Phase one is new cabinets and counter tops and sinks. Phase 2 will be replace a tub with large shower, replace toilets and new flooring.

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Just turned 51 with rain showers.

A very long day at the VA Hospital yesterday. Got a lot more involved than what I thought it was going to be or any post op I've been through thus far. The good news is that it all was in fact good news, and I have been put back on the 1 year monitoring and maintenance program.

Stopped and pickup up some wild goose, deer and elk food on the way home, trading horse food off for that now. We're going to experiment with a couple of things at Bravo.

Since I'm grounded to various degrees for another 5 weeks, can't even drive for another week, we've decided to go back up to Paradise Bravo where I can at least relax and stew in a quite peaceful environment without a busy roadway passing right in front of the house.

Andy, we have a very small one bath here. We have been debating pulling the tub/shower and replacing it with a near tub sized foot print shower for some time. Actually started talking "turkey" with a couple of different shower folks at the Home Garden Show last month in Salem. Are you doing the shower install yourself, or having someone put it in for you? I did the kitchen cabinets a few years ago and almost tripled the cupboard space including a microwave cabinet over the stove. Nothing fancy, but Lowes had a heck of sale on some very nice cabinets, so I hit the savings account and moved that project up.
