    Coffee anyone ?

    Apparently Pilot (Flying J) fuel stations now put a $500 hold on your cards. I filled up my auxiliary tank of 100 gallons of fuel, plus the $500 hold that they did I ended with $900 plus hold on my card. Filled up my truck with another card, welp there is another $500 hold plus $120 in fuel. So...

    Which animal is currently testing your patience? 😂

    Eight seven piglets trying to burrow out their pen and have successfully done so a few times. Usual scenario plays out; escape into the next pen, chase them catching them and toss them back in. Nope this one little piglet decided to escape all together and head for the hills while being chased...

    Got home around 0100 hrs, hope to get some of my stuff done this weekend. Been running around for everyone else.

    The journey into the abyss of no return

    Also what makes this place profitable despite the fight we had is when done the property will be out of the flood zone. The flood zone in this city is doing just that, drowning this city on what you can and cannot build and the value of property. We still can't fill the place in with dirt, $8k...

Power put in to two structures, firebreak created around a house, and prep work for a slab done that is going in this Friday. That's just week one, this guy claims if he was living...

    The journey into the abyss of no return

    Going to be sore in the morning... Replacing a bushing on a trailer axle, no not your Harbor Freight trailer axles. One on those cattle pot trailers pulled by semis. Welp, was knocking bushing out and it fell onto my right knee the one the pig bit and tore into. All 400 plus pounds was enough...

    The journey into the abyss of no return

    Thanks, I'm sure if the people with million dollar homes knew of me I would be doing work for them too. Just not many of such clients and I'm unheard of for the most part. Kind of nice since I am busy without being known.

New owner said I was...
