Hope every body has a great day..

saw "my" Gravely off this morning, her fluff and puff completed. Friend Bill will be happy to get her home.
then mowed lawn on a delightfully cool morning, at least when I drove in the shade.
Now that outside is done, headed to basement. Cellar. Whatever you call it.
Is there a nifty australian name for basement?

68°F and .11 inches rain.
A stay at home day planned. Hope to get my lattice walls built. Actually not just lattice it will be cement board (Durock) as well. That portion will be tiled at some point, but not today. Wouldn’t expect the plastic lattice to do well behind the grill long term, but a completely solid wall doesn’t seem appropriate either. Guess we’ll see how it evolves. Work in progress.
Friends coming over for H&F later. Our 1st game since Sophie’s Az trip. I could be A bit rusty but Sophie did play several times with the sisters. Pan of enchiladas, corn on cob, salad, dessert on the menu.
Looking forward to seeing pics of the basement hot tub success.
Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Good Morning All,
It's September. I finally bought my fishing licence yesterday, so I hope to get out a few times. My buddy has a nice boat and has wanted me to join him all summer ... coordinating our days and times has been challenging...

Re Drew’s story comment. Not just Drew, I serious enjoy reading everybody’s story. Such a variety of lifelong experiences and often they’ll stir my own memory.
Factory worker - I too worked a production line when young, started 2nd shift, sometimes overtime on 3rd, even a stint on 1st. Making foam parts for cars, think dashboards, visors, armrests, seat cushions. Large steam heated molds that were heated, prepped and cooled each cycle. Piecework quota for pay. Even spirt about 1 inch scar across left wrist from saying/doing something to the cute girl trimming cushions. She responded with her box cutter knife. Fortunately we weren’t fired and it didn’t ruin our friendship. Even smitten by the beautiful gorgeous blonde that worked 3rd shift (hence so much overtime).
Summers were invariable stifling, winter not much better, but perhaps the best local company to work for as for pay etc.
That job was held for my return from the Army and I immediately was back to work. I knew I didn’t want to stay on production lines. I was able to get a position as a tech in the research and development lab. Plastics coatings. My own lab shared with 1 then 2 other techs in a brand new facility. My boss’s office was located on farside of the building. A great job for a number of years, about 5 as I recall. I was instrumental in solving one the company’s greatest problems (story for another time), but workplace politics took precedence and I quit months after. Also learned that my work years before age 30 didn’t count toward retirement which I felt rather strange.
Anyway, I suspect most of us have done many things noone would even guess.
Keep it up.
