Probably the same as the first one since he's continuing up the line, but it's only 4 instead of 10 this time, and it's the upper part so It should be way easier than the lower. :good

Hoping for a quick recovery. Surgery is never fun for the most part.


Got most of the wall down. have a pillar next to the hose to remove and a few blocks next to the end that will stay. I need to remove them without disturbing the pillar.  I think I'm going to get something that will cut block and chip out sections. I have been needing an angle grinder that can handle something bigger than a 3' wheel.

Have a safe trip and good luck with the surgery.  Been crazy busy around here between work, grand kid and projects. Trying to get the boat checked out so we can go float but that may end up the weekend after Memeorial weekend.  I got to finish getting this wall down hopefully this weekend.  I did take June 13 thru the 17th off to get away from work.  Probly not going anywhere far but the goal is just get away from work before I lose my marbles.

Got the wall all down.  Now to do some clean up and find a away to break up these two pillars. The one next to the house was so loose in the ground I was able to take my tow strap and pull it down by hand.  Pulled up the footer and all.  :good

Cleanup will be this weekend along with Oleanders in the front need hacking down and the yard needs mowed. Trying to get what I can get done so it all can go with bulk pick up next week. Was trying to take the floater out the weekend of the 3rd but we will be taking the car to Tucson Saturday night. Will have time between the 11th and the 20th of June to get it out.  Took that week OFF   :good

So far looking about 104* next week.  Will be the last races for a couple months due to the heat. Hopefully we can get the boat out the weekend of the 11th.  Been hearing they have been closing pleasant around 9:30 on the weekends due to crowds. Thats about when we are looking for breakfast and getting off the water.

Here we go again.  Been 5 deaths in as many weeks on Pleasant. 4 were drownings of dumb a$$'s not wearing a PFD and drinking. Now they are pounding on rentals and having to take boating classes to rent a watercraft due to a gal got run over last weekend after jumping off a moving boat for a couple kids that fell off a towable. They are saying no alcohol was involved.

Saturday got the front yard cleaned up. Oleanders hacked down and the Mexican Bird of Paradise. Then mowed and edged the yard. Sunday gave the Colorado a bath and took the GF to get some ink. While waiting I watched the Indy 500. Once done there we went and got a late lunch and went home. Monday cleaned up the back yard and hosed off the patio. Still need to clean up the wall scraps, pilers, and footer.  I did get all the oleander and yard cuttings out for bulk pickup and the old gate.  :good  

Hope all went well and you made it home safe.

Well, I guess the bright side is you will have the winter months to get it ready for next year  :D

If we don't start using our floater I'm going to sell it. Was trying to head out this weekend but that got shot in the a$$. The next weekend she wants to go to Payson.

Yup exactly, and as the wife says, if we get lucky and $hit turns for the best we can just build us another one. :good  Also thinking of selling my Nova too, it's a nice reliable car but not practical for us, would like the equivalent in a Burb.

Thats why I decided on getting the colorado. Yea I have two trucks, getting in and out of a car is getting to be pain in the a$$ and I'm not comfortable running around having to look at bumpers at shoulder height. Did look at a couple SUV's but they wanted WAAYY to much for them.

Now for the news of the week. As you know I went to Tucson to run the car last weekend. Car ran good, Air sucked. Tuesday Morning I get a text from my buddy to find out he was positive for covid.  :eek  So I go get tested. I'm Good. Wednesday I feel like crap. Thursday I do a Home test. I'm Positive.  :banghead  So I have been laying low the past several days taking over the counter stuff just to soften the symptoms. I didn't lose my taste or smell, but I did get a sore throat from he!!. Today I'm feeling pretty good but just have some drainage, but not pushing it. So I'm not going to get done or do somethings I had planned this week while on vacation.  :rolleyes

Wow that sucks, sorry to hear that hope you get well soon, just load up on Vitamin C, D3 and Zinc and you'll be good to go in no time. :good  Same thing happened to a buddy of mine that flies for Fed-X last month, he's now on a paid vacation and loving it, he's getting a chance to get caught up on all the crap he's behind on, he said he's had a lot of colds that were a lot worse than this bug, lol.
