Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Mmmmmmm
In high school I was the youngest/smallest/shyest guy at the backyard race shop.
He blamed everyone else except for me cause he was convinced I didn’t have the balls to do it.
No one saw me do it so they couldn’t rat me out even if they wanted to.

 

I'm finally getting over sinus infection myself. Got a couple of prescription from Dr. She told me quarantine so I took a couple days off. They gave everyone at work 80 hours extra just for the cause. In total I used 39 hours this year. Probably the most sick leave I've used in a year...additional to those 39.

Self checkout is almost forced these days at our local Walmart. So many islands and only one or two open...ever, I find it not bad after using it a half dozen times.

 

Eight hours ago.

I was up at 3am Florida time this morning so my bed is calling me!

 

Welcome home!

 

How much snow did you come home to?

 

I had a guy snowblow my driveway and sidewalk while we were gone so there's nothing I needed to do when I got home.

He sends me pictures before he starts and after he's done and it looked like there was only a few inches the first time he came and about 8-12" plus about 16" at the end of the driveway from the plow clearing the street the second time.

I hate paying someone for doing something I'm perfectly capable of doing but I have to say coming home and being able to drive right into the garage is fantastic.

Unlike the 6" of snow on the Highlander and the 16" behind it when it was parked at the airport that I had to clear out.

 

I'm 64 and I was just on the top of mine yesterday cleaning out gutters on my garage. It's just "recommendation" to not use the top rung as a step.

 

Yeah it’s the 12 footer that gets scary standing on the top

 

I've done the top on a 10', but not 12. I might heed the warning at 12.

I used to do roofing work for my Dad's company growing up, so I am kind of desensitized to risk on ladders. I get more "tingly" in a 40' high lift than at the top of a 20' extension ladder.

 

yeah nope, for me

 

New poll.

My in laws gave us an Alexa for Christmas, we haven’t turned it on. My wife ask me if we can send it back

I really have no use for it.

 

Ship her out!

 

The older I get the less I like any of them. Not scared of heights, it’s that sudden stop that hurts

 

My wife had one for about a week then sent it back. Wasn't as useful as she thought possibly

 

Its not for us either

 

I think they are spying on us.

 

I'm not even sure what it is!

 

When my brother bought a Suburban several years ago, he thought the same about On-Star. Said he and the wife be talking about...say going somewhere out for dinner and a few days later get coupons in the mail for said place

 

It’s like Siri on your iPhone if you have one. I don’t use that either.

 

Neither do I. But as much as phones cost it's nice to know you got a little helper in there if ya need it.

Iphone?
