    Here's my new baby. I've been worried about getting enough hours. I need 8 OT hours a week to make my $$$ goal. One of the yard guys just told me that in the summer we sell 250,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a week. I think I'll get my hours. KIMG0078.JPG

    I'm sitting in a downpour right now in central Washington for a delivery tomorrow morning in Auburn. My contract clients are finally cranking things back up, so I found a good paying Costco load ($2.50pm) on Convoy to get me up here. I was lucky to have found that one, because I haven't seen any more like it since then.

    Congrats @Dave_in_AZ on the new member of the litter. My first grandchild will be here this August. Getting kind of excited about it, especially the part where I don't have to take care of it. :)

    10 fingers. 10 toes. The rest is a bonus.

    Our stuff is definitely showing signs of life as well.

    Yeah, the neat thing about grandkids is you can have fun with them, spoil them rotten, then when they start acting up, you can give them back to their parents.
