    No worries , especially since most people don't drink sips then pour it out to refill with warm coffee like I do all day long. I had 44 years with very soft water, appears it's not as soft as the guy assured me when I moved here when I inquired about it regarding my aquariums. I remember asking a member here many years ago about what a "water stain" was in a bowl in a pic he posted, Unfortunately I learned what "water stains" or harder water deposits. Crazy I'm just a 100 miles away from the soft water.

    That's right! Just keep making all those SS payments with the knowledge that there are "old fart" yoopers depending on you! :p

    Or, keep investing your earnings and get yourself ready for the time that the only work you leave for is in your own yard. :handshake:

    Back to about 75% of normal today. I'll take it.

    Got another 20 ton of dirty 53's delivered this morning. Going to level and compact the floor this weekend. It will be fine like that for a long time, but I might do concrete sometime later in the year. Need to let my wallet recover first.

    Going to get the rest of the wiring done for lights tonight.

    This house is next door to me. It's for sale for 99,000 bucks. Has no driveway and very little land. It's going to be a hard sell. A guy I know was thinking about making an offer, and asked would I sell a little land to put a driveway in. I can't do that.

    It used to have problems inside, soft spots in floor and leaking roof, but I'm not sure if that's been fixed.

    If I had that much money in the bank to spare (now thats fantasy land), I'd try to buy it, only because it's next door to me. Maybe turn it into a workshop/garage. I'd never buy it otherwise.

    It’s been a trip with its ups and downs but for a job that I pretty much fell into I’m at a pretty good spot. One big benefit is everybody has to have a car in my area and if I ever become unemployed or need money for something the side work is always there. And with the license I can always do the dirt donkey thing if it gets real bad. Lol

    I think every job has those. You'll always have a scattered bad day.

    New personal trainer on Thursdays. He kinda kicked my butt today. We'll see how sore I am tomorrow. Hopefully not too bad. I do have honey locust I need to process on Saturday morning/ early afternoon. I also scored a few rounds of apple from the right of way that the trees service cut. They also took down a good sized balsam fir ( 16-16" dbh I think) that I'll check with the neighbor to see if I can take it. It's close, just a tractor drive down the right of way.
