sdandrea1 bigshank Found out I have another grandchild on the way. I’m jacked about that. It’s a girl this time even better Congrats! There's no such thing as too many grandkids. It's God's gift to you for not killing your teenagers. 😉
Typhoon Didn’t work yesterday and tomorrow I have to pick up MIL at 11 am🤬. 3 pm would have been better so I could work. So today and Friday will be lousy. Too bad, gonna be in the 70’s. Friends of mine went to Maine to pay golf… they lucked out weather wise. If I went with them it would have been a frost delay. Down to working one day at the golf course now so that’s good.
sdandrea1 Post office to report my list passport and apply for a new one. Grocery shopping, haircut, cut grass at church.
johnnydoom Went out to eat lunch and go to a coin op car wash to rinse a year's worth of dirt off of it (going to hand wash, clay, and wax it next week if all goes well). On the way home from the car wash the car in front of us made an abrupt left turn right into the side of a fifth wheel trailer coming from the other direction, spun back out off of it and skidded to a halt five feet from the left front quarter of my car. The amazing thing is, two police cars (they had been parked in the car wash parking lot when we were there a few minutes earlier) were there before I could even gather myself and check on the driver. Don't know if there was a mechanical issue with the car or the driver. Also don't know the condition of the driver, but it couldn't have been good - the whole front end of the car was destroyed.
sdandrea1 johnnydoom WOW! Glad you guys are OK! Kinda weird that car just turning into the other......???
johnnydoom sdandrea1 Don't have a clue as to what happened. There wasn't any place to turn into on the other side of the trailer. I didn't hear or see a blowout. Don't know if the driver intended to make a U-turn and seriously misjudged things, something happened to the car, or if the driver had a medical emergency or fell asleep. It was very strange. The speed limit (four lane road with an additional turn lane) was 50 mph and it didn't look like the car slowed down enough to make an intentional turn or U-turn. I guess in these days it could possibly be phone related too.
Typhoon After picking up my MIL at rehab and back to assisted living we went to Starbucks. Then I went to the range again. I started my Superspeed over speed training a few weeks ago and it’s already showing an increase. From me ant playing I couldn’t reach the back fence that I used to clear. Now I’m back to clearing t again.
darpar Had to replace the second paddle switch from the left today when it made big popping noise. Kind of a PITA with having 6 switches jammed into one j-box.
KCee At work waiting to hear if I need to head to Boston. The freshman is in the hospital for the 2nd time this week. Not dehydrated any more, but she may have some sort of infection. Luckily her older sister lives there and is with her.
KCee LBlack14 Thank you 🙏 Her sister says she seems ok now, but I think if you come right back to the hospital after they release you then they want to do a lot of testing.
Walterjn I went to the Newbury Park barn, picked up 6 horses, then headed another 40-50 miles to Hansen Dam. Dropped them off, then took the trailer back to Newbury Park. Boss man had 6 more to take. He just needed to be able to ride and teach this morning, so I got to take 6 and make a few $$.
Sneakylong The usual fall Saturday. Dunkin’ run early (6:00 am). Run a few errands later this morning. Chick Fil A take out for lunch. Watch some college football and some golf. Capped off with a nice spaghetti dinner with a good sauce like Rao’s and some fresh sourdough bread from Publix. Finish with some Netflix. Very exciting day!😎 I would’ve done well in the military. Love a routine.😺
johnnydoom Last band trip for a couple of months. 220 mile drive to the state finals. Band doesn't play until after 9:00PM some time, so staying overnight and driving back home tomorrow. Hopeful for a top finish for the band - they've been doing well in the other competitions leading up to this. Going to plant some bulbs beneath a tree in the yard this morning before we go: Red Spider Lilies (fall blooming) and Snowdrops (winter blooming). Nothing else planned except hopefully a nap before starting the drive and finding an interesting place to eat supper around Jackson, MS. Son is coming home for the weekend to cat sit.

colej I was on the first shift of this huge concrete “mud mat” pour. It’s a very thick concrete pad with rebar that this building will sit on top of. The middle parts on the building are 3’ to a concrete footing. The edges are 5’ thick to the slab footing. The initial estimates are 5,600 yards of concrete. 5 concrete pump trucks going with one sitting on standby for emergency use. We had over 100 workers on site and the concrete company had 112 drivers bringing concrete. The first picture was from the highway about 2 miles away. Guy on the first shift sent me these as they were finishing up
