    Yeah buddy it is - low of 7 in Rawlins, WY tonight - 3 rd load, have it in there tomorrow. 103' long 13'6" wide, 14'4" tall. 75k heavy.

    Project its almost done. 56 boxes delivered. I crawled inside it last night - fully furnished motel rooms. Bathroom, toilet - sofas, windows and drapes. Freaky.

    I'd go back and grab a 4th, but the Father in Law downed all his meds in a slurry a couple of days ago and is in critical care, so I need to get home to support my bride.

    Oh yeah - suicide attempt, grandson woke up to him in the bathroom , bloody vomit all over the place - called ambulance. I learned they have a 'protocol' in the USA for suicide attempts - family is not allowed back, he'll be shifted to a psych lockdown for a period of time, all up in the air right now - learning as we go.

    Total narcissist, with personality disorder - I just need to be there for her. She's cast iron, but needs her flame.

    I apprezziate it. Bene meaning to call you to catch up.

    I’m truly sorry. I know the last couple years have been hard on Gretchen. Seems like she catches one break and it’s two steps back.

    I’m gonna jam the short amount of footage I’ve gathered into a boob tube video,

    They build complete motels out of them . Stack em up, slap a roof and siding on - landscaping - voilà.
