Monday is the day to review the jobs that were supposed to be completed last week. Seems that the harder I work the farther behind I get. Ah well, it never gets boring.

Got concrete pad put in and the rest of the pipe to the corner.  Next I get a trencher and go 70 feet towards shop to link to main water line.

The calendar shows a lack of meetings this week so I think I will build a couple of cherry flag cases.  The calendar will probably change though.  It always does.

Still in the middle of a record breaking heat wave so yea I probably wont be doing anything today thats outside.

Crew was supposed to cut big oak in yard but postponed till tomorrow, not enough help. So instead go with son to clean up his land so it can be bush hogged. Hope to get into the shop later this week.

Busy week at the J.O.B ahead.  Not sure if I'm looking forward to or dreading the upcoming "Return to the office" discussion on Tuesday.  

 

I've got parts ordered to Frankenstein the RTX 2080i GPU in my Ryzen Threadripper PC with a Kraken X53 AIO water cooling block.  It's been running hot when pushing 60 fps at 4k.  I expect that to land on my bench later in the week. 

 

Pickup up new eye glasses and mailing the box to my daughter later today.

It's all in the attitude, and no caffeine on hot days, and no drinking the night before. Since I don't drink that's not an issue. 

Surveying a loooong road in our desert. 

118° :Hot: Keep that your way John, it's hard enough breathing at 80° with 78% humidity, and a dewpoint of 66°. :(

@John Morrisdont get me wrong LOL I love the heat as long as its OUTSIDE the house.  How ever inside its a sauna in here quite litterally.  Minus the humidity.  I do have ac but yea I love the hotter weather but right now its on the dangerous side so I haven't really done anything outside at all.

You're lucky. We'll be 100+ until around mid October. I do think our 115+ days are over..for a while, anyway.

Found this in it's original box in Dad's shop.  Motor runs but the plastic drive pulley came apart. Plastic degraded over time.

 

Easy fix, hard to find the parts at first.

Neighbor had a large Oak removed yesterday.  I asked the workmen to save some for me.  This will keep me busy for a while. 

 

If anyone can tell what variety of Oak this is please let me know.  I leaning toward post oak or red oak.
