Good morning All!

Looks like rough weather here for the next hour or so. Severe thunderstorm warnings issued and tornado warnings just to the west.

 

Good Morning Folks

Having my coffee on the deck this morning .

My plans for this week fell apart. Menards delivers my 40 replacement blocks yesterday. I start to unwrap them and see bad ones. I stopped the delivery driver but he said I have to call the store. I called the store and i told them that they need to send someone and sort these block. They said i had to sort them and call back with number of bad ones and they would send replacements. I had 29 out of 40 bad blocks, f,,in bull%$#. After sorting and restacking I handled these blocks twice, at 58 lbs per block. By now I'm beyond pissed off. Because when Menards called Monday I ask if the blocks were good. The employee told me that he looked at um personally and they were good. I wish I would of got his name.
I called Menards, they were like o well, we will just send more. I said, you couldn't get it right twice, what makes you think you can get it right the third time. I said no, you can come and pick up every block and give me my money back. Full refund, and I'm not paying any restocking fees.
Already found another source, bigger block, cost more and delivery charge is double.

Rant over

Think I'll cut grass today.
Be safe and drink lots of water.

 

Have positive thoughts and it won't rain.

 

Kids today have no work ethic at all. The group that comes in here at 0730 are all sitting in their cars waiting for the rain to stop.

 

There was a poll?

'cuz

easy there hombre

 

Good morning all, very tired today. Had a visitor twice last night, first visit was at 1152, Golden going nuts then the Lab. Big black bear taking our trash up the hill. Got that cleaned up then at 0229 another visit but now the trash can is bungied (my mistake for not doing this earlier) so the bear can only throw the can around eventually with the dogs barking and using an air horn he went to the neighbors for a late night snack - LOL

Have a great day everyone

 

Morning all

She just ignores me now

 

Hiya Baby Sister

We're in Fairbanks heading up to Arctic Circle today then spend the night in Coldfoot.

You can get a room anywhere without reservations...sad really. It'll take years to recover from the loss of tourism revenue...I'm guessing a lot of Mom and Pop operations won't survive.

You seeing the same down there?

 

Good morning.

 

Yep. Glad you and your family are safe and well.

 

Good Morning !!

Currently 80° clear , High 84° and gusty winds by this afternoon

Going to get some exercise in a little while and walk around the neighborhood


Have an awesome day !!!!

 

Afternoon everyone

@CVYota Andy , did hear about Gov Gruesome's press conference today . He closed restaurants "Dine in " , Movie theaters , bars /nightclubs , Family fun centers and beach closures for period of 1 month in 19 Counties

People aren't following the rules.

Actually he didnt close beaches, he just removed all the state owned parking. And he just said he would withhold budget money if the cities didn't follow his 'advice'

 

% of positive cases are up a bit here too. Not as bad as some parts of the country.
Did notice in the grocery store today more people were wearing a mask.

 

For a state with 40 million people, the governor has done well.
Even Arnold likes what he is doing

 

I feel your pain Dan, dealing with big box stores for building supplies sucks! If at all possible I avoid them like the plague.
