Morning all, another boat day, this time joining up with the sons father and mother in law and extended family for a birthday party for one of their grands. They just got a new pontoon in the same marina we are in. Weather is awesome.
Flying into Bangor ME on the 15th of July and promptly driving to Belfast and escaping South before the gov. team can catch me. Sister in law has taken a job in Ringgold Ga in the school system, the best one around here, and I am helping with the drive. House guest for 10 months but we like and support her and offered the room.
Lots of work now that the Covid scare is fading, just finished a $28,000 bathroom remodel and the people were so pleased they gave us 2 more projects to do, plus great word of mouth advertising....best kind.

We have a bit of relief from the heat and humidity today! Nice and dry with a little breeze. We are on the final push to get to the first test drive on the 944 + V8 project. It will be off the jack stands and on it's feet soon.
Have a good week everyone.

Good morning everyone. We started the day at 43 degrees and hope to get into the low 50's this afternoon. Yesterday I got my propane tanks swapped out and I am now doing business with an independent propane company that offers more affordable pricing in our area. Other than that, not much for news. enjoy the weekend!

Good afternoon,
Air conditioners are installed and daughter's pool is de-winterized.
Knock on wood I may have located an antique fireplace insert at a "reasonable" price!
Have a nice weekend.

By the end of July you will have some fresh vegetables to eat. I only grow cucumbers, green beans, wax beans and buttetcup squash and zucchini. I grow all of it in whiskey barrels cut in half and placed on my deck. It's just me at home now so a big garden doesn't make sense. I live in potatoe country do I get them for free from a family friend who has a out 1000 acres of taters; mostly chip and french fry stock. I get Burbank and Yukon gold russets.

Good afternoon coal brothers/sisters,
A beautiful cool low 70's temp Monday. Picked up a pallet(1 ton) of Lehigh stove coal and put away in the basement for next Winter. Last season I mixed Blaschak stove with Lehigh nut.....worked out good. This season gonna try flipside.....Lehigh stove and Blaschak nut.
Temps are rising for the end of the week(high 80's-low 90's).........good do-nuthin' weather!!!!!!
Cheers
