Good morning everyone.
Looks to be a nice day here, sunny and 62 right now with a high of 72-74 forcast through Monday.
We finally got out on the lake last night and had no problems with our "new" boat. First time we tried to go out, couldn't find a landing that was deep enought to get the boat off the trailer. Second time, we had issues with the motor not running very well. Cleaned up the spark plugs and put some fresh 92 octane in the tank. She ran like a top last night. Probably going to go out today, tomorrow and Monday too.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Congrats to your sister. Sorry you couldn't be there for the graduation.
Congrats on finally geetting those steps taken care of. Spade bits aren't the best for concrete but work if it's all you have. I agree, large air compressors and 60-90lb hammers make short work of concrete demo.
Not scary at all, looks painful though. Hope it takes care of your headaches.

well, i got most of the old front steps i have been trying to get rid of for 15 years now gone today. i took the wrong jackhammer, and only had one 60 lb hammer bit in the compressor, and that was a 8 inch spade bit. so i could not get any closer to the foundation. 
i also took out an old street entry landing for my 80 year old neighbor.
she was very happy to get rid of it.
large air compressors and jack hammers make life so easy.
total time for both jobs was 25 minutes, and that included moving the truck and compressor 2 times.

Thought I'd stop in and say "howdy"... gonna be out the rest of the day. I volunteered to put flags on the veteran's graves, then I'm gonna go visit some of my family graves.
Hope everyone has a good Saturday.

I'm getting that stupid box on just about every post.
.
It's only software, I don't understand why they cannot/won't turn that off for supporters.
.
Today I'll be offline all day long. Seattle weather has finally dried out, warmed up and I have a pallet load of cedar fencing in the back yard that needs to be put up.
.
Cris I hope you feel better soon.
.
Tom, congrats on the steps.
.
Lisa, congrats for your sister.

Well the pool party might be a no go. Ry just came up to me and said she doesn't feel good..... she has a fever of 101.5. If we can break her fever we might go for a little bit but I don't know how much swimming we will be doing which is fine with me since it's only 81*.
