But on the clock, hopefully! 

 

Very much so. Company paid training to keep certifications current.

 

This class was Advanced Ninny Babysitting Systems. I think I taught the instructor more than he taught me.

Just read this morning that the South County Fairgrounds, along with a substantial chunk of North Adams county, are without electricity due to a substation fire. Over 1,500 customers affected and restoration may take days. Whew.

That outage started on Sunday and no sign of coming back on line.    The Big Show dodged a bullet.

Picked up another park bench at the auction.   This is #3 and I need one more.   I had to pay $7 for this one, but the slats are all good. Just needs sanded and paint.

 

95F, but I had to try the new Trac Vac from the Show.

 

Worked great, but I have to remember to slow or stop the blower before taking the top off to dump the grass.

Ed, does this machine chop up the clippings or are they mostly intact going into the bin?

They are chopped pretty fine.  I was running the vac/blower at WOT.    I may experiment with a slower speed next time.    There doesn't seem to be much load on the Briggs.  It shouldn't hurt to run it a bit slower.

The new water heater in the lake house passed both the flood test and the smoke test!  Got hot water there now. 

 

On to the next project - building a Murphy bed for the lake house.  I've got a hardware kit that came with plans for the bed.  I'll Basically be building 2 big boxes.  Planning on getting that done in about a week.

 

I'll take a day to look the pontoon over as well as the outboard, then get that into the lake first, though.  We did take a dip in the lake in the hot weather a couple days ago.  Wasn't really refreshing 'cause the shallow water by the shore was pretty warm.  Much better to get out into the deep water on days like that.

The BBT's livingroom reorganizing is going well. 

New shelves and TV stand built and installed.  

 

Other shelves gone. Stuff moved. 

MUCH better.
