For some reason that sounds really cheap.

Cut and delivered carpet today for a couple of bedrooms. Might rain a little tonight or tomorrow so while homeowner was doing the tearout, I got the carpet and pad over there. I left with a large Ziploc bag containing two cracked Dungeness crabs. Good stuff! In the stores, locally caught whole crabs are $14 to $19.
I'm looking at a lightning map. Oregon is getting a lot of strikes. I know these are going to start some new fires, so that isn't good. We're well past a million acres up in smoke and fires are barely contained. It will take fall rains to put them out.

The last time an a/c guy was over here, they charged me $265 to change out a $15 capacitor. He sure has a nice Mercedes though!
Like flooring installers, you're paying for his smarts, not just his time. I did a carpet repair in a local Best Western. Less than an hour and I was nice doing it for $105. Most guys have $125 to $150 for minimums. I live 3 miles away from this motel.
I am looking for a room stretcher, my shop is too small.
I got one on order for you but it will be a while before it gets there, its coming from WuHan on a slow boat from- you guessed it China.

I am having trouble seeing the lines on my wood projects.
I'm going to need to redo the entire kitchen floor when the power is back. Been over 3 weeks. They fixed the power for my entire neighborhood except my house. They still haven't come out and replaced the security light or fixed my lines, but they closed the ticket and reported it as fixed so I had to open a new ticket and get put at the back of the queue. Ticks me off bc I told them more than once that the lines on my meter pole got knocked loose.
Will need to get my fence and gate fixed. Sliding glass door needs to be replaced. Still need to repair the floor put in a proper header, and put new back door in.
Cats have been wrecking the house while we are out. Got into cabinets, knocked stuff out, knocked stuff off counters, tore open boxes. Dogs found some snacks in the pantry and ripped them open. Ate my cheese crackers. Dragged their food bag across the kitchen...
I discovered that Princess uses the nest she made from my belongings to make a r a mp for herself to get on my dresser and look out the window. They tore a hole in one of my window screens. So I opened the window that was missing a screen. Cats now use it as a door. Made the room cooler though.
I spent the night at my house in my own bed. Cats and dogs tried to steal my new pillow and Princess ran across my head in the middle of the night. Scratched my ear and cheek. But I slept better with the kitties purring. They climbed on me, nuzzled my face, 1 was picking my arms and hands. I can tell them apart in the dark from their behavior, purrs, and fur texture. Had a 3 part spoon with Senator Snugglebum and Gravy Jones for awhile. Lol.
Meanwhile, mom hated the toilet at friend's house so much she bought chair height elongated Toto Entrada. It was the lowest price I'd ever seen listed on Lowe's and we got 10% off. That took off a little over $18 and the tax was a little over $16. Uses the toilet jack to pull the old one and put the new one in. Old one was a junker my friend found in the garbage. Round bowl and very short. Like 13" high. Slow flush. New toilet is 16-1/4 sans seat and has an excellent flush.
I'm getting better at texting but autocorrect ticks me off still.

Talked to an old buddy today, Joe Pike or as he is known in his world "thevoiceitguy". He does commercials, voice overs, cartoon characters etc. If you have ever heard the Jack Daniels bbq sauce commercial that sounds like Sam Elliott, that is Joe. He was a roofer for years until he auditioned. You can find a bunch of his stuff on line
Maybe you can put a photo on Tic-toc and make it bigger.
They make jewlers magnifying gizmos that are kinda like goggles. They flip out of the way like a welders helmet....but their not a helmet. Might be better for drawing lines than when using a table saw.
Thinking it pays better than his day job.
Is the broken door most of what the actual storm did.
Been working on my weight. Took off 10 lbs. My son has lost 50 lbs.
push down harder on the pencil, or use a softer lead, maybe even a colored pencil.
All those complaints about the P.O. FedEx has already lost 10,000 packages this year.

Just got back from camping trip. Let’s see, smoke obscured skies from Tuesday thru Thursday. Rainfly ripped in multiple places and tent too old and used to replace it. Broke USB port off small camera used for guiding. My friend lent me his. Friday skies were clear and I got started early to see how things were working. It was already dark when I realized the mount’s computer had a dead clock battery, screwing up the pointing.
By 11 I was almost ready to start shooting pictures. But it was now freezing and my feet were getting painful. I just couldn’t do it. I just shut it down. By morning it was 27 degrees and my legs were very cold. Had to stuff a fleece blanket in the bag.
Btw, my camera is warranted for life. Sending it to California next week. Buying a new 6 person tent next Spring.
I did get to see a few old friends and made a few new ones.
Take care

Went home to check animals today. Dogs had pulled their new food bag down and dumped it on the floor. They also dragged in trash from outside. Was filming the carnage in the kitchen and afterward the lights came on.
I'll have to screenshot some to get pics. They were very unhappy about us being out so much. Need to get it cleaned up enough that mom can walk through. Gonna sick but at least we have air now. Still at my friend's house right now.
Rusty, I think I found the weight you and your son lost. Lol.
Will post more later.

I'm back home trying to type with a fat cat sitting on me. Turns out I may have been quick to blame the dogs & cats. Fippy was barking in the kitchen. I looked out and saw two very fat raccoons. That explains the opened drawers, the rice being eaten, the instant grits being eaten etc.
Fridge & Freezer are full of larva. Will need to clean them out thoroughly but not sure if they can be salvaged.

.....a week to remember? Well, you got out of the house for a few days. In my photo excursion days, more than once I put a couple hundred miles on the truck and weather kept me from taking the camera out of the backpack. It was still fun for adventures sake.
