Jeez, raining sideways heavy now. It is pounding on the garage door and the wind is ripping.
I’m really feeling the efforts of moving all that paver base yesterday, probably be worse tomorrow. The second day after is always the worst for me. At least the heavy rain will level the stuff for me.

Time to go to bed and try to sleep...and forget about the miserable work week ahead until tomorrow starts.
I’m not sure how much more of this I can take...but I will persevere and try to make the best of it.
I need something better to happen...soon.

Hope you have a good week Dave. (at least bearable)
This will be interesting. Which Rhoads? regular or V-max? I've use both. Seems like the V-max does 't get to full lift until 4000. Thats just a gut feeling - can't prove it - too many other variables.
First fool in?
