2 idiots tree and landscaping back in bizness. @JoeDirt coming out to drop a couple little maples

One thing that has weirded me out through this entire house building process is sitting around watching other people work

I’ve been doing everything myself (short of brain surgery and saw porting) for over 60 years and now just doing nothing makes me super uncomfortable

Like the guys working will think I’m lazy or something

what kind of work did you do for a living ?

Please note that I did not say Human Caused, that's a bunch of BS propaganda, however the history of the earth demonstrates the the climate does change over time. As @redline4 said, where I live is the lake bottom created when the glacier he was under melted.

13,000 years ago really ain’t all the long ago for glacier sheet to be over where I’m at. They did create the nice eskers, kames ridgelines and rolling hills on my land as it’s glacial till soil

And so it begins…

Land looks similar to Nova Scotia I almost thought it was until I see the US flag on your profile

Lots of stuff really

I was a millwright in the lumber industry for 15 years until my wife went in the service

I followed her around and did what I could in the places we lived

She had the career and I had the job

I ran a bicycle shop for a while in Arizona and then opened my own shop for a year

I was a site administrative secretary at the largest school west of the Alaska Range for years when we lived in the bush, it was a good job that I worked into from substitute teaching

After my wife transferred back into the Anchorage area I got a job as a clerk in the state court system and in a year and a half I was running the largest civil division in the entire state

I retired from that at 60 with a 20 year state pension between the school system and the court system

There were many other jobs interspaced in there as well

My dad had a real problem after she went in the service and I kind of stepped out of the traditional role but she had a plan and saw it through

She put in 25 years and retired as a full colonel

One reason we are financially ok for life

I have wrenched on my own everything all my life, my dad was a master electrician and I learned that trade at his side from probably age 10

It came in handy as a millwright

I was in NS a lifetime ago when my dad was stationed in upstate NY but I honestly don’t remember anything

I know what I’ve seen on TV is rough and gorgeous

So much of our area of Alaska is glacial moraines

The land of round smooth rocks

Good evening boys & slackers

I had a fun day taking the car for an mot (“ Ministry of transport”, roadworthy test)
My toy truck comes up as a class 4 [car with 5seats]. The guy doing the test say’s because it doesn’t have a interior rear view mirror and a box on the back that you can’t see through, it makes it a class 7 (commercial vehicle) afaik the only real difference is another £35 =$44..
I said I just brought it like it is and the mirror is in the glovebox I tried to fit it but it couldn’t get it on.

So the very nice guy said it’s easy ! Where’s the mirror ?

I gave him the mirror and watched him try and push it on and proceeded to crack my windscreen

Then we had the chat about I was worried about doing just that… he sort of tried to get out of it by saying it’s ok it will pass a mot. But I said it will crack more overtime and it will fail the next mot.

I could see it wasn’t a good start to the day for him. So when he asked and was also hoping I had paid for windshield/screen insurance coverage with my car insurance.
Which means his helpfulness will only cost about 1/4 of the new price of £400 ($500) so that will be about £100 ($125)

I guess he won’t be doing this again in a hurry..

All of it plus heroin. I think we lost teen pregnancy around 2008.
We don’t call it the ghetto for nothin’.

@Mastermind that white building is where Schoenfeld Headers are made.
Had to go look @ a big leaning Oak Tree for my boss today.
His land joins Schoenfeld's.

Or else she might lose. And then you'd be partly responsible for crushing her hopes and dreams, and you're not up to that emotional load.
