B@W (Bored at Work) 2022

Hi everyone Hope everyone's week is going well. I've been pulling tons of hours for the last month so running a little ragged.

My nephew sent me a photo of a customized Bugatti. From shark fins to spoiler, this car rocks.

That's funny. I like folks with a sense of humor.

Good morning y'all TGIF for those ending their week. Smooth sailings for all!

Good Monday morning y'all



I've been watching a lot of GTV6 videos lately. Thinking about putting my car back on the road. I took it off the road when my son lost daycare and I had to switch jobs. That's 'bout 19 years. I miss the sound of the car, plus it's a blast to drive. I'm not looking forward to buying parts to freshen it up, though, as parts for a GTV6 are typically double or more than a normal Alfa 4cyl. Fingers crossed I can just get away mostly with maintenance and and replacing rubber perishables.

Good Monday morning Hope your week goes well!

I wish I could say it's going excellent, but weather has locked us indoors most of the last 5 or 6 weeks. I'm liking the uncluttered garage since I can pull in to unload, but a few outdoor projects are starting to intrude. The new 10x14 awning, BBQ, and raised planting bed are waiting for fair weather to be moved to their new home.

Yesterday we were visited by a combo of hail and rain, on a previously warm/sunny day. Had it been a bit later (temps of 35) and we could have been visited by our famous "skating rink". Basically that's where it rains then hails, near sunset, leaving everything covered in melting ice for a few hours.

Wow, the weather is a lot different than I thought it would be in your area. I'm not going to complain about our rainy April!

Yeah, it's been a freaky Spring, one of the wettest in decades. I can't complain, because the last few years have seen a serious lack of water, 31" last year vs 51" average. I'm sure I simply don't remember normal rainfall.

Here’s our spring. We have lows in the 30’s freeze alerts. Snow flurries. Then the next day mid 70’s. Then the tornadoes, which is common thing here in the Midwest, This week it’s been 95 degrees the humidity terrible, the last 3 day’s. This is April here, not August. The wind here sound like it’s going to rip the house apart. We’ve had hail storms, lucky no locus, from the Bible.

My sister dropped a load in Mandan ND yesterday and was stuck. With 50 MPH gusts it wasn't safe to herd the semi back home again, empty.
