Thanks. Retaining wall work is next. I was hoping you'd come over and demonstrate your wall building skills for me.



Thanks. Probably never.



You are correct sir. I don't know how anyone could do this everyday.



Thanks Jim. I'm hoping you are wrong about that, but sadly i know the truth.
Had ice on the windshield this morning. Surprised and not ready yet for that

Any deals like 2 sets of tires for the price of one? Might be worth a trip!

Congrats on the new job Dave. I won't make the trip, I'll just have Troy or Jay pick mine up when they're there!

I unloaded another 1.5 tons of class5 this afternoon. Then the rain started. Looks like i might get a day off of this keeps up.

Good plan Jim!

This is true Troy, sadly true.

I've been trying to decide the best way to get my tools and Mazda here. Freaking Uhaul wants $2,300 for a truck and trailer one way, plus $250 for a flight. I could drive both ways for about $600 in fuel, but need a trailer. Shipping quotes tomorrow...

I'll do it for $2300 and save you $250 Dave. That's just the kind of friend I am.

Okay, anytime you want to load up!

I found with Penske I can do it for about $1600. That's a little better. Got a quote request on uship now to see what kinda bid I can get for it...
