Cheap reel hose cart from tractor supply. Lasted only 2 years. Purchased a kit to rebuild fitting…
 
wrote up the final estimate for a complete basement finish in Ann Arbor. Owner bought a condo there for his kid who is attending U of M. a smart new trend I've been seeing to avoid losing out on all the dorm or rental fees for the students attending there, then resell after graduation, plus property values usually increase. the Guy is a lobbyist from Washington D.C. Making sure I have all the notice to commence work, contracts, etc. in order. Hope I get my final check at the end that will be my profit. :praying:
 
Cleaned up the garden patch, and planted grass to cover up, at the house Our Son was living in, til He bought another house. So we picked up a mortgage payment, and a ton of work, so we can get this house On the Market. The inside is moving along, other than a Bathroom Remodel, and try to fix leaky 60+ year old tub faucets, that are putting up a Really Good Fight !!!

Just worked all day, training my replacement so he can take over when I retire at the end of July. I have fewer than 50 working days remaining…
 
Took the wife for her chemo infusion. She always looks forward to the chicken salad sandwiches they make at the hospital.
 
Welp.. today I had to smoke another guy that knew it all and "could operate anything"....
Seriously if you're gonna be cocky, you BETTER back it up!

I cut a schit load of grass today at work in my new John Deere diesel lawn mower with the AC on! I came home dust free. I almost enjoy my job now. Figures that I finally got the mower I tried to order for ten years, a year or so before I retire! The next guy is going to love it,just like my prom date. But I had her first! Lol In honor of the new Pope, my coworkers call it the Popemobile! I bless them as I mow by!

Last two days getting ready for the pavers next month. Roof runoff cement slab gone, borrowed a yard of A off the road, drove the machine over working good and dismantled our step into the bucket. I guess tomorrow is figuring out how to get the boom up and driving the POS back into the woods where I should have left it!

Was in the shop, not really doing much other than enjoying the efforts of my favourite craft brewery with some Marshall Tucker Band on the speakers, when my son showed up with some apple pie. How did I get so lucky?

Beer and apples doesn't go too bad together, does it?

I was disappointed that the "Busch Light Apple" was WAY too sweet.
 
I bitched about Wawa ripping people off. The Indian guy a couple miles down the road was .30 cheaper.

I use the 93 octane, and that’s over $4.00 with 10% ethanol.
 
While both cars were out of the old garage, my honey's ride and my wagon, time for another round with the shop vac. Bye bye dust bunnies, dog hair, leaves, sand etc.
