Floated the Salt river today. Currently waiting for a Colombian dog from Simons hot dogs. It’s a pre dinner snack.
What did you do today?

Today I used a backpack lawn sprayer for the first time. Applying a liquid aeration product and a root growth stimulant. Applied 10 gallons over 10,000 square feet. Walked every inch of lawn. I was walking almost constantly for 2 hours. Guess my heart is in good shape. Going to do it again this weekend for the other 2 products.
I don't think you want to leave.
Livin' it up at the Hotel Arizona......
That's going to barbecue like burnt shoe leather.
Haven't checked the prices around here but it seems like grocery prices are up. They don't raise the price of a box of cereal 15 cents they raise it 50 cents. Our local Fred Meyers (Krogers) has some good sales.
3 times in the past 4 months the have had super low prices on Cereal. Twice it was .99 cents, but you had to buy 5. This time $1.49 for five or more.
Fries up very tender, no water in it like store meat.That's going to barbecue like burnt shoe leather.

Life is but a series of compromises. I’d go back to the boonies in a hot second. Big city living is expensive and stressful.
Today I did 3.5 more bathrooms, tomorrow ill do 3.5 more bathrooms, the day after that I'll do 3.5 more bathrooms....
I'm on track to finish the bathrooms sometime around the end of October.
Then there are 148 suites of vinyl plank, at 76 thousand sqft, however you want to read it, I suppose I'll be crazy before this one ends.

Lean burger is good for meat loaf. I still like 80-20 for burgers.
That is far too long to be working in one place. 3 to 4 days max is about what I’m comfortable with them I’m ready to move on.
I use to think like that but now I like to just set up camp and go to work. You get systems and you get faster and more efficient every day. Plus, after the first 28 or so, you don't have to think much anymore.
I got this!
We did 65 identical occupied apts., one a day for 65 days. Thought I would lose my mind.
occupied changes the name of the game for me. Give me a brand new commercial building any day and I am happy as can be.
Speaking of which, my bad brain time sad face is apparently over and I am hella happy to be at work again. Weird how the mind works sometimes.

Commercial is too iffy. Could be awesome or it could be a **** show. Then again I suppose residential is no different so scratch that. Give me an unoccupied unit that I can back right up to and I’m OK with that. Gotta admit that last weeks job was a bit much for me. One of them customers that wasn’t emotionally ready to have her house torn up for a full week. The customer was done with me just as much as I was done with her by the 4th day. The 5th day, Friday the 13th, was a tense day to say the least. I just kept my head down and counted the minutes till 3 o’clock. Commercial doesn’t sound all that bad now.
Only 2 of the 65 were really bad, just the boredom of doing the same thing over and over. 2 25' drop pieces of carpet with a 3 ft seam where they met in the middle and an 18" seam in the middle of the br closet. About a 2 hour job when empty. I have done one in 90 minutes by myself.
......by the time this one ends?
Seriously, your impressive. I've never been able to pump out work.
I've been a procrastinator/nitpicker me entire life. Gitter done isn't in my bones. Not a good traight for this trade. Some people drive 95, you are supposed to drive 55, and I drive 35. I still get there.
Job I'm going to complete on Thursday as three children. The girl is 10 she's actually pretty cool. Very laid back and not overly chatty. There are two boys. The youngest one talks in gibberish and I can only understand a word here and there. I just nod or say, "o really?"
The other boy is in between those two. After 5 days on the job we left on Friday. As I was leaving I told the homeowner that we were on our way out and will be back on Monday. The little kid that talks in gibberish, ran over and gave me a hug on the leg. It was special reward at the end of the day.
The grandma made a note to tell me thank you for the way I dealt with the kids. Hey, they're kids. ...it's not like I can smack em. Somebody might see me.
It's actually the first time I've had to work with kids in the house for a long, long time. Typically, the homeowners at work and I have a key to get in. I just want to accomplish enough each day that something is complete and their life isn't totally and disarray. Customers are very accepting once they understand your game plan.
General contractors on a large job would not put up with my game plan.
....... That said, I wouldn't put up with theirs.

A T & T sent someone out to dig a trench across our yard to run a line for a neighbor. No one had asked, so it is not happening.
I dont know but 'merica but here they don't have to ask. Utility has eminent domain.
