Evening
Made dinner tonight, had cornish hens and some potato pancakes. Wife worked late tonight and she's still recovering from a cold.
Work was good today, had a safety meeting this morning and then I exchanged some electric meters after the meeting. It was a nice easy monday.
How's everyone?

Shorts, Tim, Scotty, sounds like it's time for a group session. I'll make it a foursome. SIL called just a little bit ago, stupid nephew took too many sleeping pills. She's trying to get him in the car and to the hospital. He's in for a fun morning. Next.......

I was back in Center Point Saturday, same street I worked on. I snapped a few more pics to share. This pretty much shows the difference between old school and new school. New school are for the most part coming apart in pieces, old school are knocked off the foundations first.
I've torn down old houses with storm closets in them. They're typically at least 3 layers of pine boards nailed to 2x4 studs. One layer is 90* to the studs, one layer is nailed to that at 45* to the studs and the third layer is nailed 45* to the studs but in the opposite direction to the previous layer, so it forms an X. They are tough to break up.

Scott, that's the stepson. I've got that one adjusted now as to the car repairs. If he isn't with me, it don't happen. It's amazing how much time he can find to help now. The nephew has "issues". He's bi-polar and has at least one other accompanying diagnosis that is being addressed. The biggest problem now is his continued abuse of non-prescribed drugs. He needs to be in an in-house treatment program but he's not willing to go yet. This may be the stray.........I hope. We had to sign commitment papers on my SS. My SIL will if she's smart this time.
Got to run, Doctor's appointment in a few.

Mornin.
Rick, hope your doc treats you well. Nothing like an angry proctologist...
I apologize for my off color statement last night... I didn't mean anything by it, other than work was being a PITA, it's hard to escape the stupid people.
I got 76 PM's of people asking me if I was ok, and if I wasn't, could they have my truck/kegerator/tools.
Funny, but not.
Coffee, work.
