John M. Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 6 replacement buses have arrived today and they're the final ones in my boss's year and half long endeavor to turn over the entire fleet. If all goes well, they'll be in service in the next couple of weeks. He also is sending 10 or so school buses that have been long out of commission to the big junkyard in the sky in the fall so as to tidy up the lot and open more parking space for the other buses and the personal cars of the drivers.

Rob Hall Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Lots of good things...yesterday made 2 months since I moved into my new house (tomorrow makes 4 months since I closed on it). Still have a lot of boxes to unpack. Finally got my old house on the market yesterday--had 3 showings last night, 3 today... 2 offers came in this evening, one for what I was asking, one for $25k over... not bad. Tomorrow is also the 6th month birthday of my 3 Yorkie puppies...growing and very chewy now.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Went fishing yesterday. I do that more often now that I am retired. My friend and I caught 12 catfish and two sunfish. I had the good fortune to catch this beauty: unofficial 26" nose to tip of tail fin and 10 #'s. Best part is I caught it on my ultra-light rod spooled with 4# test line. Put up a good fight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John M. Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I'm starting a four day weekend. The day camp run that I've been doing all summer wrapped up on Thursday but my school run starts next Tuesday. Until, then, I'm just going to kickback.

iamsuperdan Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Did some backyard renos earlier this week, and laid a bunch of sod. And it's not dead yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomicholiday Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 My daughter is home from school for a week. So we’re in Hocking Hills OH doing some hiking for a few days. The views are amazing! Absolutely breathtaking. But the absolute best part of this trip is just being together with my wife and kid. Love those two so much! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamsuperdan Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 First thing I see in my email this morning when I arrived at work was an email that said yes. Client I've been working on for a couple of weeks now. Big order. 30 units to start. Eventual changeover over the next two years of the entire fleet of about 120 units. Mainly pickups, but some Medium Duty trucks and SUVs too. Plus they're leasing everything. Plus they want the telematics system we have. Plus charging stations for the EVs. It's a pretty big deal. And we didn't have to discount the crap out of everything. Solve their problems, show them value. Boom. Makes up for the customer I fired back in June. 🤪 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched this little power house take his 6'1" 178 lb dad down practicing in the back yard! Literally lifted his dad off his feet and dumped him!LOL 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell C Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Yesterday, I was standing out in the gravel backyard, trying to hang a wet rug up to dry on the edge of my shed roof, while standing on a tippy block. Block tipped over when I hoped it wouldn't, and down I went. Nobody is pleased about having a sprained wrist or a jagged bleeding rock cut. What pleased me today is that the pain was way less than yesterday, plus I'm even more glad I hadn't broken anything, and the cut shows no sign of infection. This could have been much worse.

CabDriver Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 (edited) I ordered some licensed Ed Roth art from an artist named Jim Madison after seeing his work at a car show recently…and it came today! Ordered a frame for it, and it’ll be a great addition to the wall above my bench. Plus, he sent a whole stack of over cool art too - all kinds of interesting stuff to hang and display! This one would be cool to illuminate, somehow, with a little hanging light box: Edited September 15, 2023 by CabDriver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John M. Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 (edited) I got through watching my favorite Green Acres episode that's entitled "Uncle Ollie" online that I haven't seen for a long while. After seeing Oliver's hip nephew Chuck souping up the motor in his uncle's tractor, I came up with an idea of making a used car lot style diorama using a few of my hot rod models and naming it "Hootervile Hot Rods" with Chuck as the proprietor.

I've never seen Ministry, but I've seen Alice Cooper and White Zombie/Rob Zombie a couple of times each. They put on a great show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calb56 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I'd seen all of them except Rob Zombie before... Alice twice in the 80s, Ministry about 17 years ago with my wife (she hated it but it was one of our 1st dates...so) and Filter when they first came out. It was fun doing something with just my adult son, we never just hang much, just us. I'm lucky he likes to spend time with me. He comes over all the time.

John M. Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) My 26 year old nephew got his CDL this morning and will soon be getting hired on by a trucking company driving a 10 wheel delivery truck. I asked him over my cell if he would be interested in driving a school bus and he gave me a big NO. I let it go at that. Edited September 28, 2023 by John M.
