That the guy I was going to work for can't drive for shit in the snow
.....and he was probably driving you somewhere in the snow when you found this out

I was driving behind him.  He blew through two red lights then after he got on the highway we was only going about 20mph and talking on the phone.  He also had unsecured cargo in the back of his pick up I was sure was going to fly out.  He  had complained about the snow and that his truck sucked in it when I asked him about four wheel drive he said he could not figure out how to work it :zombiefuck:

He bought a $15,000 spray foam machine last year used it for about three hours and had to go to the hospital after getting the foam all over himself and feeling sick after wearing a dust filter instead of the proper chemical filter on his respirator.   It's up to me to now figure out how to use it.  He's nuts but he gets tons of work

I do also.  He is a nice guy and is very good at getting work but doesn't always think things through.  The general feelings are that he just  :stoned: a little too much.

Not much, the weather has been crap.

Last week I scored 2 water-logged vacs, and a computer. (broke down for scrap)

This morning:



Actually in pretty nice shape.
Of course there's no charger so I can't try it out. :'(

Nice finds. I think my favorite frying pan is a Wagner.

Still going through the books I curbed here.

Nothing of real value (from the looks of it and some papers I found inside a couple I hit on another ebay sellers's trash :LOL: ), but a few of them look really interesting.

Found a dead wood pigeon in the garden an hour ago. Not sure but think it sadly froze to death earlier this morning.
