Yes, That and I know a few that got into it later in life and opted to go the repairs route instead of new construction because you can demand higher $$$ with fewer doing repairs and it being more competitive for new.

The biggest issue i see up here is most that get into these trades only want to do new construction and not repairs to existing infrastructure because your dealing with someone else's problems.

There is a lot of money to be made in the Plumbing, Heating and HVAC industry.

Manual labor is the reason, Can't work it into the gaming slot, Folks trying to hire a carpenter, electrician and plumber right now are having a tough time finding one, And if you do, You're on a wait list.

Folks will be paying top dollar over the next 20 yrs or so as there are less and less going into the trades and the older tradesman retiring there will be more of a demand then a supply.

75/62, Cooler for now but heading to mid 80's again today but dews should be lower.

Well, Some accountants are financial advisors as well, But really most do bookkeeping for company's outside of tax season as well if its not done in house.

I mean basically, What your looking for is everything you would need to provide an accountant at tax time so it would make sense to consult one.

An accountant?

I guess she has not read this forum then........lol

No kidding. Where's the front? Wife says leave the windows open yet it's 80f in the bedroom. I'm turning the ac on Still going to be mid 80's up here tomorrow and low 80's friday but dews should be lower, The cooler air is over the weekend, Will be in Naples this Saturday again, Another boating day.

Still 79/70 here, Dews back up.

80/66, Dews have dropped 4F since 8:00 am.

From the pic my wife sent, I had thought they were larger as well until my inspection revealed they were quite small.

Thoughts of the first frost start entering my mind.

City arborist sent my pic off to the Maine Forest Service, They are bark lice and are actually good for the tree, Here's the Entomoligist response, Good to hear from you again, those are one of my favorite insects: bark lice, Cerastipsocus venosus. They are completely harmless and actually benefit the tree by consuming detritus and other organic bits found on the bark of trees, especially maples. Think of them as little herds of buffalo roaming and grazing, the ones with wings are adults and the ones with stripes are juveniles. They are indeed distantly related to the lice people get in their hair although distantly and pose no such problems for humans.

Lewiston school board voted in the Hybrid model, 2 days in class, 3 days remote with the parents option to go 5 days remote, School starts 09/14 and the board will evaluate every two weeks.

The water should still be warm if the air temp is not.

It will be a warm one no doubt until the FROPA.

Been a few mosquitoes up here, Been in the pool over the weekend, Low 80 pool temp, Had a family party with about 25 of us, Good times but heading back to the lake Saturday, Second of my free rentals.
