Good morning gentlemen. Pushed/pulled 500' of #2 thhn yesterday. Going to lay 500' of 2" conduit and dig another 300' of trench. Got 600' of pex coming in and 500' of #00 aluminum wire. With any luck we can get everything in the ground/ pulled before the weather warms back up.

 

Those are admirable goals for us all to share

 

There's a joke in there about lube and who is pushing and who is pulling...but I will leave that up to Chris or goatboy...where is Kevin?

 

No need your doing a perfectly fine job continue please

 

dont forget it either!!

 

can i kiss your butt too sir andy?

 

I thought you usually did why ask permission now?

 

Might be more than one...

 

I know the feeling... there's days I feel like I've laid down 500' of #2 as well...

 

So did you arrive today with a band playing and all the bosses standing there to shake your hand after your big fix yesterday? I doubt it but you deserve it

 

Like peeing in a dark suit.
Gives you a warm feeling but nobody notices.

 

gotta go get a battery for the garage opener and a small gas can for the 2 cycle blower. gotta wash the truck. puppies are fussing-in a good way though. calgon[TW] take me away!!

 

the word "too" was supposed to be "also".

 

Good mid morning. Finally took one of those pills the doctor gave me last night even though I'm not fond of them. Slept 8.5 hours straight don't know when the last time was I did that. Feel like moving through mud today working but I do feel better.

Damn you nailed it. Had flat feet my whole life, almost didn't make it into the Navy because of it. Even foot doctors would say damn you have some flat feet. Now I have no arches, at Mayo Sports med they had me walk up and down the hallway barefoot and they grabbed every doc and PT they could so they could watch the "freak". They all said they had only seen one other person with no arches like mine, must have been you

Also asked if I played football when I was younger because of the degenerative arthritis in my foot and spine. Yep had to tape my ankles but started offense and defense. And now paying for it. I blame those POS boots made by the cheapest bidder also. Have no problem dropping $400 for a pair of decent boots today for that very reason. Live to hunt and be outside and now it sucks to walk, but push through as much as I can.

They have talked surgery but are afraid there is so much to replace they can't do it yet, the technology isn't quite there. In the meantime stick a needle through the arthritis as long as they can into the joints and give a little relief. Wish I never would have played football. And a lot of other things now...

 

Having coffee on the deck this morning someone was in a nearby tree wanting to check out the hummingbird feeder. Spring must be here, hope they make a nest in the willow tree again this year.

 

Beautiful picture

Well done Mike.
