We just cancelled our Vegas trip, damn septic bill too much plus getting our beef this month and haven't paid rancher/butcher, just too much at same time and it's ALL more expensive than it was RECENTLY
Taking the day off to deal with our tree vs. neighbors' fence, tree won clearly
The price gouging is out of control. I am not for more rules or laws, it just ruins an event.
Side note but semi related. A local rockabilly hot rod weekend show was all about traditional pre 1964 rod rods, greasers, poodle skirts, etc. They got so popular they are now using most of the parking for camping (more $$$). We got my son's hot rod done and drove both there last fall. Show is full, don't care you brought a car, don't care where you park - just somewhere else, $20 per person please. Really, so it is just a party now with the same "friends" cars every year. Nothing new, camping parties, drunks everywhere. Not sure I will go back.
When it becomes about just about the money, it ruins it for me. I think when local hospitalities are gouging for an event, the event should promote ones that don't or move to another location. I know that is very difficult, but then those places get nothing, instead of full book and gouging. Places like Bonneville, well we are screwed - only so many places. Rant done
Everything seems to be going up but nobody's paying me more
There, fixed it lol!
Dallas is going to need to make a decision as well.
As an aside
You have to like Detroit's chances against Tampa Bay next week. Green Bay at SF, I'm not too confident they can pull a rabbit out of a hat twice
Not here either. What is it called when all prices go up, but pay doesn't. I think I remember but will keep it to myself
That sucks............
It sucks when there was an event that you used to like and that happens. We used to like to go to Mt. Baker Blues Festival, they stopped putting it on, was getting more expensive but not too bad, dunno why, just know we used to camp for a couple days and listen to good music.
A good weekend completed...
About 1200 miles of driving. Helped my older brother take the front end doors and seats off his Chevelle to prep for paint... helped my younger brother strip a cedar shake roof and built up a bathroom floor.
Killed a very nice bottle of Rye and smoked some cigars
My kind of vacation

I think the chainsaw/tractor/winching hour might be earlier than usual as it's a weekday plus I have a dang dentist appointment at 4 so need to be done with tree and fence repairs. Speaking of pricey crap how about a $75 thimble of flouride treatment, that's a good one, think I might pass on it this time as isn't covered by insurance.
So you got that toilet mounted to that roof after all? That's great lol! Saw your pic of rye/cigar, I'll pass on the smoke but the booze looked tasty!
Coffee tastes good, no bitter aftertaste................... I think I am good

18th century house... there's not 3 feet of level anything... The planking on the walls and subfloor is amazing. 1 to 2 inch think planks up to 22 inches wide. He rigged up one, large cast iron radiator for heat... keeps it at about 55 degrees....

Your fitness tracker is telling you that you are at VO² MAX just standing there I bet
It's gone from how sturdy can I make to to how cheaply can I make it
Well when you forget how to tackle....
Indeed.
It's always fun trying to decipher what had been done to the house over the years. We were using a photo of the house from the 50s to determine what more modern parts to tear off to get it closer to the original state.
The area is pretty cool... view of the Sakonnet River on Narragansett Bay. The town owns the old manor property that is across the road
