Tim, way up yonder and you are already mowing? Aw nuts! Now you've done it. I've got to go do mine now. Maybe I'll just do the first weed eating today and catch the mower part next week. It's looking a little shaggy around here. We've just had rain storms and twisters the last 3 days and another round of rain coming toward the weekend.
I'm not all that way up yonder. Maryland is a southern state. I guess it's the top of the south for the East Coast. Kind of the grey area between north and south, so weather can go either way. Red buds are about to pop. Just a half hour down the road, where I was today, and they are a week ahead. That's about the altitude change. People have started mowing since a week or so ago. Across the road, which I mow, was getting pretty long. Gets lots of sun. My property mostly had the early shoot ups that start growing before the grass. I like to let it grow longer on the first mow, but Carlisle is next week and I ended up with free time in the afternoon. I try to make Thursday my mow day. I was only going to make sure the mower was good, but once it was running I figured what the hay?

I emptied those bee traps and that one on my woodshed had 12 in it! So, all together in one day I got 16. Got two ore today after I emptied them out. I don't know why they call them carpenter bees. They don't build anything, they tear it down. They should call them demo bees

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

They require a high fiber diet?
And I started out to just do the weed eating but it was early afternoon and well, I ended up doing the whole yard. 1st cut of the season is done. It was looking pretty rough.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

I bought a new table saw, which is 220V, as opposed to the 110V job I have from before. After I got it home, I remembered that I had removed the 220V outlet that I had used for my previous table saw, which was 220V.

Today, I removed the j-box cover and discovered that I have the proper color wires so that I'm certain that when I connect the saw it won't explode because I hooked it to the power wrong. That's a $5k sweaty eyebrow wipe, for sure.

That job I took with that maniac that I lost in Jan had me keeping a record in my book I kept my time and work descriptions in. So I found myself recording other info. I've always been curious how long in the year I have to mow, so I recorded each time. I mow once a week and turns out I mowed exactly 1/2 the year, 26 times. That was April - November. I guess we have leaves on trees May - October, or the beginning of November. I end up mowing over leaves some at the end of the season. Our frost-free date for planting is May 15. But many are already planting annuals. Not me. I may plant a week or so early, but never that early. Seems foolish to me. That frost will sneak up and bit you! This year many were planting in March. It was in the 30s last night

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

The Queen and I took the girls and their husbands to the Journey concert, in Dallas, Wednesday night. TOTO was the opening act. Both bands were amazing. Like most bands ''Live'' is much more intense than you hear on the radio.

The girls were raised listening to CD's of the rockers of the late 60s thru the early 80s so they knew most of the words to the songs. Our trip sing-a-longs were driven by the likes of Seger, Heart, Beatles, Aerosmith, ZZ Top etc.

These old band concerts are great for people watching. Some of the old gals trying to look like they did 40 - 50 years ago (without much success) and the old guys struggling to make it up the steps going to the pisser 5 times...LOL!

But the really cool part is seeing the multi-generational attendance. Like us taking our kids and others taking kids and grandkids...all knowing the words. Rock will live on.

The music puts you back in a time when we thought we had forever...to live.

!! ROCK ON !!

Yeah. Some people don't see that that ship has sailed. You might have been a hottie when Jimmy Carter was President. But now....Eh?

Journey and Toto? Did they have to dig Steve Perry up before the concert?

I shouldn't make fun. I'd be one of those old guys running to the pisser.

I never left that time, only changed with times as minimally required. But I am beginning to get the whole won't live forever thing. THAT notion has been forced upon me

I never got off that ship. Might not look like it, but it's what's inside that counts. I'm 66 and single. It's slim pickin' these days for the one I need (want). I tried going much younger, but there's more to it than good looks..........still! Nothing better than silvered beauty!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

I went up to the hardware store to get wire and conduit, etc., to run 220 to my new table saw. I was looking at jacks and plugs and other such nonsense when I remembered that I had an extension cord that I used to use for a 6 HP planer-molder that I have since sold. Since the new saw is 3 HP and draws less amps, I'm going to save myself a couple hundred dollars. All I need is one jack on the end of that cord that my saw can plug into. SCORE!

Nice! Make sure you don't trip on the cord. OSHA hates trip hazards!

Don’t get me started on OSHA. The law literally states the owner SHALL eliminate ANY and ALL, POTENTIAL hazards. Just let that soak in. In other words, the state shall take no liability, that’s the simple intent of the law.

I'll say! The price of wire is through the roof. Down in the more populated area, Lowe's and Home Depot now keep all that in a locked cage. How thieves stroll out the door with a roll of cable is a mystery to me. They don't cage it at the ones I go to. I need to run power to my little garage I built, and my barn I'm moving from there. On the second floor of the barn I have a 250' roll of 12/3 I bought 20 or so years ago. Thank goodness!! That was a good investment

I'm going to run it across the rafters like all my other extension cords. I tripped over a power cord last year and caught my right big toe under the take up reel. Peeled the nail right off. It's been 14 months, so it's almost grown all the way back.

There is a ring of people who steal large quantities of Romex from hardware stores. I'm talking thousands of dollars at a time. Not sure how they accomplish that, but it isn't helping the price of wire, that's for sure. So, you invested in some semi-precious metal, and the investment paid off! I have some Romex left from some wiring work, but it's too small for the saw's power draw. I sure am glad I didn't toss that extension cord. That would've been real dumb.

My German Shepherd drinks out of the toilet. (gross)

I had to pee real bad today and had to wait in line because he was already in there and he won't move.

I see rolls of romex for sale on FB Marketplace. Pictures of rolls and rolls. Yeah right, you bought all that but don't need it?

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

I think it was last week at our store we had a bunch stolen. All of the rolls of wires are now cabled down so you have to ask an associate to use their special magnetic tool to unlock them. Next the associate walks the cable up to the register so the customer can purchase it. No more handing customers anything expensive and letting them roam. The amount of brazen theft is shocking to me. I had no idea this was a thing in retail. I figured yes a little here and there, but I see it every single day. Makes me think twice about the human race.

Apparently someone figured out the correct way to open the special locks/alarm and somehow loaded a bunch on to a flat cart. Next they went out the back of the lumber area into what we call the bullpen. Its totally locked and fenced in. They tossed the spools of wire over the wall to their buddies. I think it was between 10 and 13K's worth of wire.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

Makes my blood curdle. They don't want me seeing that. Doesn't anyone wonder why someone would be pushing a heavy cart across the store not toward the register? What lumber can you add to a flat cart with wire rolls on it anyway? I'd knock them out from behind with a 2x4 lickity split. I'll take the charge. The world needs more brave people.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

You have to know some of those thefts are done with inside help. I worked for a large lumber company for 30 years and from time to time some employees were caught in the act.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

At my son's store they find toilets or vanities sitting out in the garden section. Thieves use the boxes and load them full of power tools. Sometimes they get caught. If my son (if he's subbing at a register) sees a box that he even thinks has been opened, he inspects the contents. Nothing like finding a welding machine in a vanity box. Customer says, "Hey, how did that get in there!?" and wanders off. People grab the battery-powered DeWalt combo pack (drill, driver, circular saw, etc) and just run out the door with it. Employees are not allowed to chase them down. People are moving to California because they raised the felony theft limit and the police won't even go after people for misdemeanor theft. Their system is short hundreds of generators. That had to have been an inside job.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

Tim only problem is the guy you knocked out would probably win a lawsuit against you and the store . When I bought my 1/2 inch Dewalt impact I had to walk up to the register with an empty box they had the stock all locked up. They put the empty back on the shelf . A few days before two guys walked in grabbed 2 drills each and walked out.

Employees have been instructed not to stop or even approach the thief .

A few days before two guys walked in grabbed 2 drills each and walked out.

Employees have been instructed not to stop or even approach the thief .
One of my son's fellow employees said something to a person walking out with some goods. The thief pulled out a taser. THAT one, the police followed up on.

Partially correct. The police will do what they can within the confines of the law. It's the prosecuting agency, city or district attorney, who does not or will not prosecute the crimes. The CA or DA have "issuing guidelines" they have put in place that are more lenient than what the actual law states. So, as an example, misdemeanor theft has the bar at $950. The CA or DA won't even consider trying the case unless the valve of the property stolen is above $1500. I'm using San Diego as the example, since that was where I worked.

So if I see a guy robbing my house I'm supposed to say "Hey you forgot the TV, you don't have enough yet'.
