That's a well built lil' trailer Rusty.

It's about 25 years old. Has full size 15" tires and wheels and heavy duty springs. They don't make little trailers like that anymore. That mower is a 1989 model and has had very little use since a new motor was installed in 1992. They are both gifts from my MIL.
My eldest son flew home from Japan for his Golden Week holiday. The younger boy flew in from San Francisco so we had a BBQ with old friends and neighbors yesterday. Today they both left. First I took the older boy to LAX-------airport about 35 miles through the city. The younger son was taking a bus home from Union Station----just downtown. The dopey kid (PhD. candidate in Biomolecular Physics) misses the last bus out because Mom made him a big fat lunch of leftovers from the party and he dragged that out til it was too late to make the bus. So he had to get the LAX-SFO flight at 3:30PM. Of course Mom and Dad are picking up the $232 one way ticket.
TWO trips to the MF airport across Los Angeles in one day.
I'm gonna have a few beers now!
Anyways, Momma is happy she got to see her boys again all together for a few days.

Has anyone ever done flooring work on a pilot boat or a tow boat while it was under way? I just spent 18 hours working on this one.
Highup nobody wants to work on boats here and if they do the charge is large telephone numbers
Do you get seasick?

Did I say I was actually working on this boat when the photo was taken?
Who gets seasick when the boat is docked?
Naw, it was downtown at the city docks and I had it all to myself. Worst part is the ramp going down to, and up from the boat every time I needed something from the van.
...just as I thought stairs were bad, here comes a ramp that works my legs silly. Low tide level up to the walkway on the upper side of the ramp is about 15 feet, and it's 75 feet from the van to the ramp. Way to many trips for me with tools and pattern materials. I ordered a 12 by 12 piece of carpet and it took 18 hours........... with a 5 by 8 piece left over.
I used part of the leftover piece for a bunk in the tug boat docked next to it.

Thats why layers here charge long telephone numbers to work on boats

That is all i did one summer . I finish one boat and the boat docked next to that one would want to have his done . These were at least 40' cabin cruser's .
This one is a pilot boat that was built locally in 1969. I suppose it's close to 65 feet. They just completed a major repaint of the engine, engine room, steps and interior railings. The area I worked in was narrow and I had to net fit carpet on all the edges. I lightly thermo sealed the edges so that I wouldn't knock loose rows as I handled it. I made a pattern out of light weight poster board and taped it to the carpet. Individual sections of poster board are a lot easier to fit than any other patterning method.
It's one thing to get the carpet in place. The hard part is folding the carpet back to glue it without scratching up the paint on the walls and railings.
Turned out pretty nice.
They did ask me if I wanted to take a lunch break with them across the street at the Chevron gas station.What Didn't they feed you as well?
This move has been pure hell. I can't believe the incompetent realtors, lenders, and escrow companies. You really have to pay attention. Just today, one realtor wired my half of the new house ($250,000.00) to the wrong company, the escrow forget a $1,500 credit, one realtor said wall mount tv brackets must stay, and another realtor said it was OK to take. The lender wrote the wrong close of escrow, and I'm now faxing papers that the other escrow company "forgot" to have us sign.
Finally something that can't be blamed on the flooring installer.
Hope tomorrow goes better for ya.

Same stuff just happened to my brother .
Tell her about the risk of cancer from the dyes and chemicals in soap.
Day before yesterday I had steak and pie. Last week was home made lasagna.
Yesterday I refused dinner, but had cookies and coffee ready when I arrived for work.
Tonight, I refused another dinner offer, but accepted an offer for coffee and a sandwich for lunch. I left work with a baggie full of home fixed trail mix.
Tomorrow, I get dinner. ...........coffee will be on, and who knows what might be offered with it.
I still have two days of work to do.
.............how's a guy supposed to get any work done being 'treated' this way?
