Congratulations.

From here it looks good.

 

Or as we used to say when I was roofing back in the day, “Looks good from my house.”

 

We would say the same thing when I use to build bank vaults and install the drive through equipment.

 

Well I got another email from that car dealership, they’ve come down another $1000 on that tundra. If I can squeeze em for another 1500 I might just have to bite.

 

re: poll
never been close to being hit by lighting
now I did get zapped by an EAC Power Head once

 

Motel included breakfast 3x
The Club pizza special for lunch 3x
Motel popcorn for dinner 2x
The fellow I bought the car from gave me a huge bag of KC BBQ takeout - 1 dinner, 1 lunch.
I refilled my water bottles at the motels.

 

A Doctor:

 

How is the motel popcorn nowadays? Not like a gas station hot dog I hope!

 

I stayed in the Super 8 in Greenfield, Ind twice, it was clean & quiet.

The popcorn was fresh and hot made in a real popper and the breakfast buffet (included) was excellent as well.

 

That is the best one this month, I almost teared up.

 

Was stormy so we didn’t go to the football game, lit brush pile instead. About an hour and it was down to not a whole lot. I pushed it up with the skid steer a couple times then mowed around it.

 

Cole and I got the butts ready to go on the smoker in the morning.

 

Lightning:

At the old job, almost shut down for the day we heard a tremendous clap of thunder that sounded right outside the building. Went to investigate and found...

FIRE!

,, !!!

Fortunately there were several of us there, we emptied half a dozen extinguishers and got it out.

We followed a burn path - apparently the strike was close enough to the building that an arc came in on a spray booth exhaust fan duct.

Very thankful we were:
1) in the building
2) so close when it happened

If not that would have turned bad real fast.

 

That is better than nothing but come on now, let’s sign on it. We got stuff to store on that land!!!!

 

Here is something neat I saw on the Wednesday road trip.



This too, kind of a poor photo, the best my phone can do at that distance at night.

This is a gas well drilling rig.



I live right in the middle of the Marcellus Shale that was in the news a few years ago.
Back then the industry was booming, then it all went away - creeping back in lately.

 

I think its in Canada so he needs a passport

 

that's got it's own problems... and while the comment sections on youtube video's are generally wild, some of the similar stories don't disappoint either.
