What are you talking about, by time I get through with my Driveway and the 2.5 miles of road I have to plow, I have no energy left to deal with a paying customer!

:eek:

And now the darn truck is stuck, and I have to call one of my friends to bring his bulldozer up to pull me out...

I need a drink and another nap! I plowed a foot yesterday and got another foot this morning before I got up!

:sleeping:

That's it?????? I had a customer whose drive is 1 mile. Then I only had 59 drives to do after. I have since backed it down to about 34 since my neck issue. Heck, I wish I had what you have if I didn't need the money.

Stuck already???? Oy.......:facepalm::D:smow:

I used to have 70 some accounts, Always found that the more I drank the deeper I got stuck! Just kidding around with ya!

Best thing I ever did was sell my route 2 years ago. Kept all the equipment but don't have to figure out how to get out of a hole at 3 am.

Today I took delivery of the new TIG welder for the shop. Miller Dynasty 280 DX Tigrunner. Buy once Cry once. Gonna have to repair a lot of skegs and pontoons to pay for it but it will be a nice addition in services for the business.

I'll get some pics up soon enough, I am mending from a recent surgery and now is not the time to unbox it.

The company I work for just bought a set of grinding pads that mount underneath a power trowel... I haven't used it but the other guys say it works great

They offered to do that at my shop before we put down some kind of floor covering or coloring. I don't understand how it will effect the finish

So, in honor of the warm weather, mid to high 60's here in Traverse city, i decided to do some welding.....

I have welded my butt to a chair on the front porch and am pretending it is 5 o'clock somewhere. Buffet on the play list....Jack in the glass.

I'd rather be boating but this will have to do....

Even donned the obligatory Hawaiian print shirt...

Great day to not smell like varnished fuel...

Saved $300 today by replacing lower control arms on the wife's van instead of having the local shop do it
