Traffic



So it turns out that today of all days I finally install a small mudroom built-in in the town of Dover.
This job was custom built, started last year and had it ready in January but the customer was not yet ready, so I had some room to keep it a month or so until he was ready, that turned well into March and at that time he says definitely by April. That did not happen either so May comes around I I had to get sit out of my place so I made an extra trip to ship it just so I can get room to work in my small shop. He said he needed to schedule painters, OK no problem. 3 weeks ago he let me know he was ready, I told him best I can do is this week as I had other obligations. So today was the day that worked for both of us and it was a struggle enough with this heat, it came out great but I forgot the shelf pins for the adjustable shelves, now that makes another extra trip for me
Long exhausting day meticulously installing this job and then I get the joy of returning home to Middleboro in all of the holiday weekend cape crusader traffic Thankful for sirus radio and put on some Dead to chill out for the ride. I am getting old I guess

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Are you saying you are going to drive to Dover for shelf pins???????

Gup,
I took the morning off work and went shooting this morning braving more traffic to get there(Monument Beach) and got to shoot with Andy and Ty and had fun.

I will go see if there is a beer downstairs in the fridge and toast one to you sir

Dover NH?... should have let me know... you could have crashed at my place and done a little fishing ....

traffic has been awful everywhere... I'm thinking it's more the people behind the wheel rather than the volume...

glad to hear it's a happy ending...

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Glad everything worked out Slip.

another country heard from!
How are you? Have not seen you in a long time, yes those are the towns I get that kind of work in, it pays the bills.
I still fish those jigs you gave me and sometimes actually catch some fish

Doing good Slip. I had spinal surgery in 2015 that put me on the shelf for awhile but I'm back at it . . . just not ready to gorilla jig the canal. I've been harassing the schoolies and bluefish to satisfy the urge
