Went to Home Depot for a couple of 1"X6" boards and all they had was pine or spruce trash that was barely 3/4" thick and only 5 1/2" wide and they would have wanted $22.50 for two eight footers. Screw that I say to Marie and we take a little drive to my friend Squirrel's sawmill in Leitches Creek. Got two TEN FOOT tough as nails and rot resistant juniper boards a full 6" wide and a full inch thick - exactly the same size as the boards I'm replacing on the house for a miserly $5. It's not pretty or planed but neither is one stick in this 70 year old house.

Went over to mow the church today. Used the big commercial size zero turn. Man those babies will really roll. I was kinda in a hurry today so I was kinda leaning into the throttle after the turn. I noticed it seemed like the front end was getting light.
Well curiosity got me. I don't know how much HP it has, but from a dead stop it will not only jerk, but also carry the front wheels.
Err.....um....so I been told. Or "allegedly" as they say. ahhhh, Not that I have any first hand knowledge.....I mean you don't think I would actually......um....well moving right along.
Let me just say it was a beautiful day, and I enjoyed mowing the grass.(period)

We got up way late this morning, went for breakfast, came home and did a little weeding in the garden, went to Lowes then the grocery store, came home and spent the rest of the day watching movies on HBO for free. We sat out on the swing after sunset and I inhaled a gnat and almost hacked up a lung trying to get it out. Whew that was fun!

Got all my porch repairs finished, waterproofed and ready for a new step to be built just about ten minutes before it started raining. Good news from brother Spencer who went to the semis in the Atlantic Pro Tree Series yesterday and passed the guys that were ahead of him in points. He's now #1 in points in the 9.90 class.

well today Mary starts truck driving school to upgrade her license from a B class ( single vehicle 56,000 pound gross ) to a full class A ( combination ( single , double , triples, tanker ) unlimited weight , hazmat . after 6 months she decided to go thru her pay stubs because she felt somethign was wrong with her pay and found out her company has been lying to her and cheating her out of some major money ( $2-5 a trip about $60 a week) and this has been going on for the last 6 months , I told her to check in the beginning because I saw they screwed with pay on the internet , but she didn't and now shes upset .so I talked he into getting a class A license so she can make real money as she likes to drive , so the next 2 months shes in school . today was a bad one as she has to stay outside to learn and it was in the high 90's
