Waiting for tractor/chainsaw hour, 0630 here so a little too early yet lol! Not eating a dang thing today, going to steak dinner tonight, taking daughter, hoping son can join us.
 
Severe weather predicted for late this afternoon. Tornados this afternoon and snow tonight. WTF. :rofl:

I’m deliberately ignoring the news and other social media sites for a while.

Really wish I knew how to turn off the Apple News alerts but Google hasn’t helped. They still push the “big news” headlines to my phone.

Coffee break! Got back wall covered around all the plumbing. :thumbsup: Next need to cut some wood to reinforce other patch panel. Putting in a big piece so a new TP holder can just screw in. They always loosen if just screw anchors. Plus I want to splice the top of patch next to toilet so it doesn't crack if someone leans on it.

We had sheets of rain last night for hours. It got so windy I gave up on tractor work. On bright side all of my efforts to direct the drainage is paying off. Has only taken me two years to figure it all out. I go out in the monsoons every time, sit in my truck, windshield wipers on high and study how the water rolls off the mountain.

Did you bring lots of treats for the girls? My kids love that sort of stuff.

Yo @MOPARMITCH how is Chin doing in the big ole USA? Have you taken her out and about yet? Pix as always are required! This adventure may force her to learn more English? Is there a large VN community close to you she can tap into?

Really only been here going on 3 days. Been so busy organizing things in my house for her and the daughter and catching up all of my mail and whatnot. She did mention that she sees things completely different in America on our drive home from the airport. Will get out in the next couple of days to show her around. There are no Vietnamese communities very close to me. And I'm good with that. I would rather she learn English than speak Vietnamese with other locals here.
 
50mph wind yesterday and more of the same today. So windy the tumble weeds were airborne.

Well, now that you ask, Mike had a nice set of 273 valve covers that he donated to one of our fund raiser auction, and I paid a good price for them, it was a donation to a good cause. And in the same auction, there was a gift cert. for a certain Powder coater, which was donated. I paid over the value of the Cert, it was a donation for a good cause. Well, off they went to get powder coated, AND I will say now, the job is excellent, BUT I thought and think the cost to do that was over what it should have been. Several hundred over the gift cert. NOW for the record, This person does Excellent work. Second to none. AND they are real good people. They can charge what they think there art is worth. OK with all that.....
