Evening guys. I am about scalded. Had a bad day that ended pretty good. CHEERS!

My day was mostly normal until I discovered that the stone work guys had rolled up all the sod they removed and left it under the far end of the deck.

Then I beat the snot out of myself pulling it out and laying down 40 sg ft of it around the new stone work. Thankfully, my wife helped or I wouldn’t have gotten it done. I’m still beat up from the weekend work.

At least I salvaged it before it rotted under the deck uselessly.
 
My evening was a bit odd, I had a couple nice toddies made up a nice plate of munchies and settled in to watch what promises to be a great game 7 of Stanley Cup. Could not find the game, searched all the channels to no avail. I worked all weekend and had my days screwed up. Game is tonight.

Bad day, good day. My John Deere got tangled up with a stump. I replaced the blades but I bent the deck where the bearing plated bolt in. Good for me I have old tool customers that built a tool to fix that. $40 later and I'm back in business.

Did the same thing ! No tool , trial and error to fix it . I did come up with another set of training wheels for the rear of the deck, helps a bunch !! I since have ran over a piece of rebar, no bent blades, just notched up , resharpened and balanced, still striping like one side is lower than the other !

Night driving has changed dramatically! Headlight relays perform fantastic and the LED upgrades make the dash pop again.

Squeezing some off-season training time in with Reba around the property along with my Miller Time.

Who's says you can't multi-task efficiently?

Unknowingly I attended the "Last Blast" at Irwindale Raceway before the Miller Brewing Company built their new west coast brewery on the site.

One of the TF cars in large letters carried a message that stuck with me for quite a while.
"Miller Beer Sucks" :lol: I was underage anyway. :lol: I got over it eventually. :rolleyes:

Since Budweiser bought out Miller, we get the slogan/song again on T V a lot around here sometimes .
I always wanted a neon Miller hi life sign, and bid on one on ebay, but have already been outbid. Not going to pay too much for one , need a few things for my fish> more important.
