What did you do today?

[Floorist]

27, that's about as bad
as it gets. Under 50 you're supposed to be just about bulletproof.
So sorry to hear about that Rusty. I'd say more but I don't have nothin'

Most of the new cases are people under 40.

Younger people get it but they aren't usually affected by it much. That's the surprising part.

The trip was for observing. Just a coincidence that the Perseid Meteor shower happens that week. And the 12th is my birthday too. Anyway, the storms in northern Pennsylvania and the smoke from the west coast made it less than ideal so we canceled.
Instead, I decided to paint my bedroom, which I wanted to do for past 3 years.
Came out pretty good. Done in 2 days. No trim to paint though.

Same color as the customer picked in the house I'm working on. Looks good with the grey and white stone counters and nickle handles and stainless appliances.

Playing with making a console. Bought home gauges but can't find a place to mount them. I could mount a newer style 'head' and toss my Honda radio. The dash already has the middle center vents. shown in my crappy on the fly sketch. The radio is directly below the vents. I'm thinking mount the gauges where the radio is, the mount the new one below those. The add a few switches and usp ports. Once this pice is made, add on the rest including an armrest with storage and holders for drinks and phones.
See what happens when I have idle time.
GM put the very worst colors imaginable in the gauge cluster in the dashboard of these antique S10 pickups. Driving down the road on a sunny day the gauge cluster is virtually invisible except for this speedometer..... sort of.
It's much darker than this picture shows.

There are starting to be a lot of deaths for the under 40.

 

[Floorist]

Good news, blood count is going back up.

Bought some 95-5 hamburger from a local farmer for $4.50 a lb.

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

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.

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.

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.

 

[Mark Brown]

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.

 

[Mark Brown]

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.
