Good morning, about to brew my first cup of coffee, already went for a five mile run before the weather gets bad.
I may have never ran 5 miles. Probably 12 years since I did any running/jogging. I wonder why I can't breath and I'm so out of shape. :lol: I run out of breath doing 10 pushups.:th Yea I wish I was kidding. Funny how I can run a 7" grinder for 12 hrs a day 7 days a wk, yet can't jog to the mail box. I keep saying I should start then I will be able to. Saying only doesn't get er done.

The sheet of coroplast was $55 but should last MUCH better. This is thick version used on greenhouses and velocycle bodies.
After wondering what coroplast was, (having an idea simply because of the use mentioned) I'm wondering what a velocycle is. No, no I do NOT just google when I wonder, hmm what is that.

I had to look up coroplast. Ok, now I’m up to speed. @Margali have a great day off, hope you get lots done. Going to be a nice day, 50% rain here, but that could be a deluge or a spit and a promise.
Have you ever looked into getting those 'Billboard tarps'? The material is much thicker than the tarps from the hardware store & they're a little cheaper too.
I got one to try and used it to cover a cattle panel hoop that extends out from the front of my chicken coop - sort of a covered porch to keep the rain from blowing in the door.
It's a couple of years old now and still in great shape.

Too much drama today. Delivery of new cooktop. Driver claimed he and his buddy were installers. Something very felt wrong. No uniforms, no ids definite attitudes. I told him to unload the ct, some one else was installing (true). He started arguing with me. Wouldn’t unload. Wanted to come in. I retreated to house, noticing there were no rear tags on the truck(which did have a logo). A man called identifying himself as the trucking manager, claiming the drivers were “certified Whirlpool technicians”. I told him they could put ct on the porch and leave immediately, which they did after a few minutes. May need the special coffee.

Conventional wisdom might argue that I was being paranoid after all they did have the cooktop (I haven’t opened the box). But drop off was the only thing specified and the driver got irritated when I told him so. And since when do installation techs drive for trucking companies- he and the manager who called identified themselves as employees of the trucking company not an appliance company. If they worked for Joe Blow Appliance co. and were renting a truck that’s understandable but that’s not what they said. These people were sketchy as hell and there was no way I was letting them in the house. Sorry to carry on I have some left over adrenaline.

Keep venting...

And yes... way better for your instincts to be wrong... and you not let them in the house....

Than for those instincts to be right, and you do let them into the house. :hide so glad you didn't do that!


:hugs

And i agree, they sound fishy.
