What gets me. They said 8 weeks or less. Not 16 weeks. Before the Wu Flu. Guys were getting them in 3 to 4 weeks.

So much for sleeping in today on my day off. Up at 5:30. Have to take wifey to the hospital for some testing. Driving to the hospital took 45 minutes instead of the normal 30 minutes. Snowing like a mofo. Had 3" sitting on the ground when we left the house.

Happy Tuesday! Well the week is off to a good start for me as Monday was drama free and now let's see if the rest of the week will follow. Looking forward to the weekend as I am headed to my favorite track. I will not be driving as I have no way to get the Miata to the track since it is at my brother's house and he is three hours away from me and the track is another four hours from him. I will be having fun as I will be instructing drivers in an official capacity for the weekend. I'm following in the footsteps of my big brother Rusty. I find instructing actually makes me faster because after talking the driver through everything it really cements things in my frontal lobe LMAO. No news with the Z. I will be contacting the shop for an update today. Hopefully things are getting buttoned up nice tidy. Yawl watch your top knot and keep your powder dry and don't let the polar vortex still your joy. Keep safe and if you can't stay sanitary.

Sounds amazing. Megan loves ceviche. We honeymooned in Belize, on a little island off the coast, and I don't think she ate anything except Ceviche the entire time we were there.

The wife and I had our 20 year Anniversary on Feb 7th Sunday. With all we have going on we both forgot all about it. I am doing good to remember my name some days.

House was built in 1994 so yeah. PEX replaced the line to the half bath the last time this happened. I don't want to ever have to deal with this again so we're going to run new lines for everything that is under slab.

Loves it. Enjoys cooking in general too, which is good because if it were up to me, we'd eat pan seared oven finished chicken breasts every day, with broccoli and a russet potato as a side. Possible variation as sales at Giant permit.

She on the other hand made turkey enchiladas last night with slow cooked black beans and onions, grilled veggies, and habanero lime tortilla shells. Night before was Hawaiian chicken, and prior to that was stuffed pork chops with a pesto glaze.

:confused: It's a house lol. And I'm the one whose paying :owned:

I pay them $69 to send out a plumber. They give me a quote for their portion of the work (I'll do all the gyp board demo and repair). I pay them in full after their work is completed.

Looks like we're going to run new lines to the upstairs master bath/shower/lavatory/toilet, upstairs guest bath/lavatory/toilet, and downstairs kitchen. Since I don't want to tear any holes in the kitchen, we're going to tear the siding off the house and go in from the back side of the sink. That siding needs to be replaced anyway so just tack on some new hardyboard costs too :shakes head:

It seems like it was just yesterday. You can take away all my toys and it wouldn't bother me too much. If I lost my wife I would be in shambles. I love her more than anything.

John always fixed the car and let them pay on time. We were always super busy the first 6 days of the month (gubmint checks came on the first) and then super slow the rest of the month. :icon14:

He had been in the hood for decades. No one every broke into the shop and it was rare when someone's tools walked away. When tools did 'disappear', either the parents' brought them back, holding onto the 'appropriator' by the ear or the cops were bringing them back from the pawn shop. :shakes head:
