  1. “Back pain” someone smells a lawsuit!
  2. Was 34 when I left this morning… hint of frost on the stairs… but slick.
  3. I didn’t even have to think about touching my heat… was 70 in the house still this morning. Built in 2018 FTW
  4. I think I’m going to try Lesco next year… and it is indeed full sun… almost all day. It worked out with all the rain this year, but when we return to Stein next season, it’ll need a ton of water.
  5. Not great, but not bad. Considering this was all weeds and sand when I moved in, and I couldn’t afford to hire someone to do any of the work, I’m fairly pleased with it. I have a wicked clover problem.
  6. Looks like next weekend; early next week could feature some pretty cool temps
  7. After getting like 5” of snow last October, I’m not discounting anything at this point. We’ve had some early snows here recently. Last year and NOV 18 come to mind
  8. We will be formally stealing everyone’s snow at this gathering
  9. There’s no doubt some good people are stand up business owners. I just think we’ve reached this point for a reason, and all the blame can’t lay at the feet of the employee. It’s easy to say people don’t want to work because they made some money during the pandemic on unemployment, but I think it’s much more complicated than that
  10. No, but the rise in wages has not followed a similar path that it did years ago, that’s not debatable. Gone are the days when mom could stay at home with 6 kids on pa’s salary from the hardware store.
  11. I kind of agree. It’s hard to feel bad for the sob stories of these businesses who have been paying people dirt wages for decades. If wages increased over time, this wouldn’t be an issue. And to top it all off, most of those places don’t over vacation or sick time, and intentionally skirt hour rules to avoid offering health insurance.
  12. It doesn’t look overly cool moving forward. It’s almost the second half of October, would be nice to get a few cool shots.
  13. Everyone deserves a living wage. It’s unfortunate that it’s going to come at the expense of the consumer though, not the giant corps. They are just going to pass the increased labor costs on to you.
  14. My new gig is 6% raises every July for at least the next 10 years. I’ve personally never seen that type of increase, but I’m happy to get it
  15. It’s also crazy expensive to get a CDL, unless you can pass the test without any training or class time. I looked into a training course last year to get one, and it was like 5-10k for the classes/training/ testing, etc etc. most people don’t have that kind of coin laying around to jump in.
  16. The price of gas is insane. It’s literally going up like 5-10 cents a day at the place down the road from me.
  17. My wife ( and I for that matter) love your shots. There’s a few she mentioned she’d like to buy and have blown up and framed so we can hang them in our house. I’d love to buy some of your work.
