I spent the morning delivering products to the local stores, after I dropped the old gal off to pick up her Chrysler van. Those have a very thin pipe underneath that carries coolant to the motor. The salt got to it, developed a couple of pin hole leaks and the plastic radiater tank decided to come unglued in a small spot. Got home, and went to the machine shed. I put over a hundred sheets of foundation in bee hives. Repaired a few boxes. Had to come in at 2:00 and take a couple more pain pills. Was able to work till 4:00. Some of my bee boxes in the shed hadn't been moved for years. I've gots 20 more boxes to repair, a hundred more new frames to put together. 320 more sheets to foundation to put in frames. I've got 180 plastic frames to power wash and slap a coat of heated bees wax on both sides. Plus's I want to get a couple of these flapping disks to strip paint. I'd like to repaint several hundred boxes. Dang old woman gets me into these messes. No time for a decent nap for the next month or two. Probably stop at the pharmacy and pickup another bottle of pain killers. Any of you other guys retire and find you need to find a couple of good looking gals just to keep up with the work?  can't wait for all this dang snow to go and warm up good. Rattle snakes will be sunning themselves on the road, pick them up, clean them up and BBQ them.

I remember you talking about grandkids that you help out with vehicles or whatever. Where are they when you need to do all of this stuff? ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |
