Joe Handley Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 The A/C in my Chrysler 200, spent half the day following an existing sales rep around to check on customers' lawns and to see if they might have a need for the company's lawn and shrub care service (so far, the answer has been yes, even if they didn't think so, lots of bugs and disease this year!), every time I got in it, the A/C was cranked and every dash vent is pointed at ME!

mikemodeler Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 Set up a trade with Fat Brian and we met today to swap out kits. It was so hot neither one of us wanted to get out of our cars so we pulled up along side each others car and handed them over through open windows.We talked for at least 30 minutes, discussed work, life and models. Found out he is working on some really neat conversion pieces to build models that haven't been kitted before. Not going to spill the beans but will say he has some great stuff on his workbench.Always fun to meet up with a fellow builder, more fun when they have some projects that you get to hear about and are interested in.

Sounds like you should've met for lunch in an air conditioned restaurant?
Joe Handley Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) I was out walking in that for a few hours today, went through 3 liters of water, 3 bottles of Gatorade, 2 Protein shakes, and still had a whole bunch of frozen water bottles thawing in the cooler acting as ice as well as water reserves for, well...you know, just in case. I was just dripping on my way back to my 200, then by the time I got back to the office, I nearly had hypothermia! Edited July 21, 2016 by Joe Handley

Joe Handley Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 I was walking around between 2 and 6:30pm today, it was bad, especially when closer to 6:00.

Ace-Garageguy Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Ed's photography is a constant reminder that to find beauty, all you need to do is open your eyes.It's hard for me to believe there could be a more beautiful world than the one we all share.

Crazy Ed Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 It's a honor and pleasure to be able to share my Pictures. And I couldn't agree more that so many miss the Beauty that makes up the World we live in by centering on themselves.
charlie8575 Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 That dawn-shot is worth a fortune, Ed.You could probably sell rights to use that one as a stock photo and make a nice royalty.Stunning.Charlie Larkin
Crazy Ed Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 Thank You Charlie. Not too sure 'bout it being a Money Maker, but again, Thanks.
High octane Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 I was happy to get a package from Summit today with a stainless steel exhaust tip for my daily driver. It covers the end of the stock exhaust pipe well and I like the added "bling."
Joe Handley Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 The past few days of working outside, walking around houses in the hot weather seems to bring out the kindness in people. Over the last few days, I've been offered water, pop, and even a beer this evening as I was checking out lawns

Joe Handley Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 A Smile and a Friendly Wave can do Miracles. Plus getting to know Neighbors makes for a Safer Neighborhood.All but one offer was from the owner of a home I was looking at (including the beer, lol), one offer though was from a neighbor (who I think might have been babysitting) that saw me out there and offered a water up. They guy who offered the beer was just home from work himself and getting ready to work on a few himself as well as hop in his pool.There are decent people out there. Sometimes, you don't even have to look that hard. They find you. Charlie LarkinThat is true, but it has been bad enough here that the "watch your young people and check up on your elderly" messages have been popping up on the radio, too. That probably helps.
