August Workouts ~Smoke

[Smoke]

Almost hate putting “Workout” in the subject.
But I’m here.

Got some r&r the weekend, out on lake and hung out listening to katydids.

[fish]

i'm glad you're here.

now let's figure out how to begin 21 days.

it's this covid thing.

hard to get going.

[Smoke]

My busy season is coming in spite of COVID!
Really rough week at work... have a different customer trying for top billing! 15 hrs yesterday & today!
Hi~Ho~Ho

My big guy is down for a week or 2 due to an employee testing positive.

[fish]

i don't understand most people.

they seem to feed on confrontation.

and, of course, they are, each and every one of them, the center of the universe.

in face, the thing that has convinced me that the universe has no bounds is that it has so many unique centers.

i don't care much what anyone does, just don't tread on me.

let me alone.

but know that i'll fight if you force me to fight.

Week is over but I still need to go in over the weekend.
Handled more than 7000 sheets printing... that’s a lot!

Beat but going out for game night tonight. We play Mexican Train... maybe they changed the name now since I’m sure “Mexican” is probably not politically correct!

[fish]

i really like dominoes.

like cribbage in that there is the luck of the draw, but the more skilled player wins over time.

we use a cribbage board to score our domino and other running score games.

people in this country have lost their collective minds.

they seem to think that the eagle is entitled to the fish.

Worked weekend both mornings at work, trimmed a pine tree for a neighbor and hauled away.

[fish]

who won ?

[Smoke]

Wasn’t me... I could barely stay awake for the second game.

Alex got tangled up with a fox the other day, spent most of my day driving... came to work, home to get the mat then back home to drop cat off .... theeeennnn, back to work.

Had to dig up septic cover... had to find it first buried under weeds, ferns and a tree that fell. Cut back part of tree and hauled away. Then dug around to find cover.

Now waiting for paper delivery... hope he can just dump it in the hallway

[fish]

had to do that two summers ago.

roots invaded.

plumber inside, tank guy outside.

had to get them both, but i had to do the real work.

i had the cover uncovered for the tank guy

tank guy opened the tank and pulled out a bunch of stuff.

said root invasion ?

so i dug up the pipe from the house to the tank.

large root. had to take a chain saw to it.

now have markers buried a couple of inches under the topsoil so i can find the right spots.

[Smoke]

Yea, I need to put a stake in or cone or something to mark it.
