55 and sunny. Should see about 77 today.

I bought a trailer load of small trees (20-30 feet long, trunks 4-5" in diameter) up from the powerline right of way yesterday. A mowing company knocked 'em down.
Those, along with a bunch of brush, is enough to justify rigging the chipper up. That will be my task today...after I go on an interview for a short term contract job (some Quality related processes).

About all I know is they're doing the background check for the clearance. That can take up to 6 months.
They don't keep you informed of the progress, unfortunately.

The company I'm interviewing at today builds those big sprayers (have the 7-8 foot tall tires) you see on the roads and fields. Should be interesting...

59 here, we got a quarter inch of rain overnight...going to run down to the local Advance Auto today to get a replacement battery for my Buick...OEM Delco is 8 years old and I am wary about trying to nurse it thru another winter. Something that ticks me off is paying tax on the "core charge" for parts. When you buy a battery, starter, alternator, etc. and they give you a credit for your old battery or part, you are still out the sales tax (6% here) the state charges on the core. Here a battery core charge is $12, meaning you pay 72 cents tax on the core PLUS the sales tax on the new battery itself. And the state keeps raising the core charge. The last battery I purchased was 3 years ago and the core charge was $9.

Things like that are why I am such a grump....:laughing:

SIX MONTHS for a clearance check???!!! On TV they show law enforcement agencies digging out everything on a guy from your high school cheerleader crush to your underwear size and color in 30 seconds or less...and you tell us that isn't realistic?

Yes...TV ain't real life...but real life normally lasts more then 1 hour per episode.

Rain today, up to 1" expected. Got the 40 yards of shavings yesterday, cleaned out the 3 big goat pens and the girls and boys like clean sheets. :laughing:
