    Coffee anyone ?

    Layers. I run around with T shirt, long sleeve T shirt and light sweater from 50°F down to 30's, once it hits below 30's I put thermals on. Around the 10's when I start putting jacket on and when it hits sub zero is when a balaclava and other trimmings go on. When it gets around -30°F is when I...

    The journey into the abyss of no return

    I called it on the backhoe exchange of him wanting me to finish the house beyond drying it in. Though I don't know if I want to bite after what I have been put through of indecisiveness, ridiculed daily and disrespected.

    Thanks! No one does as the trend is. So sad to see so much go to waste, for so little, unappreciated, but everything comes with a price.

    The journey into the abyss of no return

    Technically I'm the highest paying mechanic in the city if one were to work for a company. Though for owning my own business, no it's a drop in the bucket. Gives me a place to have things shipped in too large for most carriers, when the snow flies and I need something to do the door is always...

    From this to that. Had to move the fuel tanks to install the new lift axle, but after 20 hours of work here it is.

    Well I hope he has a mechanic in his pocket cause he is going to need one to fix his truck and needs to fix his truck to get water for his animals as I'm not letting him pull from my well. Oh that's right he needs a mechanic to fix his broken down backhoe too.

    Coffee anyone ?

    She understands as no apologies needed and I never direct it at her. I have to keep a lid on it or there won't even be a house left for the customer.

    The journey into the abyss of no return

    I'm drying in the house and walking away. I don't give a **** if he can finish it or not, nor do I ever care to have business with him again. Told him I am taking Veterans Day off "for who I am" and he went on a tirade of saying I will never finish it at this rate, I'm not God's gift to the...

    The journey into the abyss of no return

    I have a tendency to take my work ethics personal and pride in my work, so I naturally will rip someone a new one when it gets put on the table. Though I'm tactful about it and chose my words/actions wisely. This business sure has helped with that, they are laughing and smiling one moment...
