The Mack trucks plant is back to work this week, so I am back to work somewhat normally. Temperature checks on the way in, masks, and tape marks everywhere to mark 6 feet distances makes it a bit different though.
My ladies talked me into buying a jacuzzi. Now I can build a platform in the garden for the jacuzzi . But that way I could use the truck for buying stones and mortar at the local supplier
@Abe: very nice pics!
@Manny: nice pic too! My Labrador would be happy to have a lake nearby
I mowed all 4 of my clients lawns for the first time this spring yesterday. I had a buddy mowing 3 of them earlier as I recuperated from shoulder surgery. Once I could lift my mower onto my flatbed I took over. So today the shoulder feels fine but my legs are killing me!
Truck things: in another thread last week I said I replaced interior door handles on my 54 with new ones and put the old ones on my 55.
This week if it stops raining I need to pull my heater core in my 55. It leaks. then take it to the radiator shop to see if he can fix it. Then later after the core is fixed, drain old antifreeze, flush and put new in. Also put the correct radiator elbow on instead of the bent hose.
I see you keep honeybees as well.
One week ago I installed three nucs so I'm back in the bee business again after losing them all in a winter kill. Two of the hives are located in the attic of my new garage. I actually planned to have a small attic area for the bees when I had the garage plans drawn up. The hives on the ground outside have been bothered by ants, earwigs, yellow-jackets, skunks and the last straw was a bear that ruined one hive. The indoor hives are doing good so far and drinking the syrup I made until we get more flowers and buds to bloom. We had a frost this morning and potential for snow on Saturday so our spring really isn't here yet.
My third new hive is located about 1 1/2 miles away in a field behind an old farmhouse. That one is doing well and drinking the syrup faster than a bunch of Irish rugby players in a pub on Friday night. I expect that hive to grow like a weed.
No car or truck stuff lately - still waiting for the garage walls to be finished so that I can play with trucks in there.
Working from home since March 15th...it is getting very old.
Finally got sewer line installed to the old milk shed.
water service was a bust though, city wont allow a water tie in at 10' deep. So now have to connect 75' farther away and across 60' of asphalt.
had no idea waterline was going to be so deep. Groundwater at about 4' sewer was about 5.5ft deep and had alot of water flowing while making the sewer connection.

Yellowjackets are pretty much just @ssh*les with wings. I swear their entire mission is just to ruin everything for everyone!
