    Word is…. A paver came off the trailer a few miles south of I-26 on I-95, if I hear my CB correctly. Glad I’m going south…..

    10 minutes till 10. 3 cups of coffee in me and not one call yet. Might be a 4day weekend.

    What you think a welding shop would pay for 47k of clean finished flat stock?

    Wow . arizona is stuck in the stone age . they make you mail everything in . no offices to go to. No phone number to call for help. No place to get help if you have a question about the confusing wording on paperwork. Send it in and wait for an email while they work at the pace of a sloth. Then forget 1 thing and its start the process all over again just incredibly frustrating. I know why dad always #####es about dealing with the state government when it comes to anything. Now im getting older it all makes sense.

    I actually dislike very much going anywhere these days and expecting decent service. Mostly just some folks who could careless about anything. Because they are just there for a paycheck. Just a warm body taking up space. Goes for the hardware store same as the Napa. Usually the only place I have decent luck finding decent service is at the tractor dealer. Those places tend to have the old guy that's worked there forever and knows part numbers by heart and knows where stuff is located.

    Edit: on a similar note. I've noticed even if go out to eat now it's all older folks on the service end. Last restaurant I went to there was a gal there all on her own and very frustrated. She had to be in her upper 60s if she was a day. Which is a trend I've been noticing lately. All the young people are MIA.

    Yeah, half of my driveway is downhill toward the house. It's a frigging river right now. Prolly will be for a other 2 weeks or so. I had to dig some drainage ditches to help out yesterday. The trash man came yesterday to empty my dumpster and I didn't think he was going to get out. He keeps moving my dumpster back farther and farther every week. Now it's up against the fence and it's super soft there. So now there is like 50ft of deep ruts leading up to it that I'm gonna have to deal with it when it dries out. Ugh

    As enticing as the bid is, and I could use a newish used lure. I'm afraid I'll need to review all bids before my final decision. Hope you understand.

    Speaking of steel...flatbedder yesterday with a big bow still in the trailer with I beams that run the length of the trailer and the width of the trailer. I beams were at least 12" tall. I would of thought that would of been heavy enough to be mostly flat.
