All 4 grandsons are out of college and employed ... $300 to renew two existing passports.   

Worth it.

Today I did something I rarely accomplish.

 

I cleared my to-do pile at work. I left with one job in my bin, and we just got the approval this morning, so it will be next week before we have parts.

 

Helps that everyone left me alone the last two days since I'm off the rest of the week.

@Ed Kennell would probably like to have that bench,     can never have too many of them.

That seems over the top just to renew them, so what does it cost to apply for new ones?

We met the delivery driver with the roofing stuff this morning.  Directed where to drop the new roof.  Neat trailer.  Was a 5th wheel tilt bed with retractable rollers, and an extendable deck.

 

As the driver left, I noticed that the cultivated wild black raspberry patch was offering up more berries.  I picked enough to mash with sugar for a waffle topping for breakfast.

Looks like two new passports would be over $400 depending on how quickly you needed them.

Trusses and other wood products?

1x4s and metal roofing.  Tow vehicle was a Ram 2500.

 

Now, the neighbors up the street a bit are building a structure which will have open shop/storage space with what might be living quarters in a 2nd floor.  They had a load of roof trusses and floor trusses delivered last week.  They came in on a 40' tilting flatbed with a sliding wheel assembly.  They were able to shorten the trailer wheel base to get it around a pretty sharp jog in the road.
