Good Morning GW
A camera was needed to show the scope of the problem, now you know.

A visit from your son, how nice is that.:) Coincidence to boot.

My son returns to Calgary from Mexico next week after visiting his wife and 2 children. His family will be returning to Canada at the end of June. They can get their lives back in order.

Prices of food these days are through the roof, it must be tough on a business owner. The small town eating establishments here are cutting back on staff, hours of operation and I hate to say it but sometimes the quality is sacrificed for a cheaper product.
Good morning Old Man! Wanted a camera before the started, but they couldn't get one through before hydroblasting and couldn't hydroblast until the water had somewhere to go, etc, et al.

Chores and more chores. Trimming that plant that wasn't ready yesterday. High Chew.....easy to trim. Wish all plants were like this.

Storm clouds are building.....will keep a close eye on the sky. Next two or 3 weeks are gonna be touchy. Happens every year at this time. Just as soon as it starts getting into the 80's we get hail. Have had my freshly planted garden destroyed more than once over the years.

Hail sure can do damage and not just to plants. My poor sunflowers one year after a hail storm, only the viens remained, the foliage was decimated. Even the big Cottonwood trees left a covering of leaves on the ground below the tree.

You ☝️ Being in the automotive industry must be aware of new vehicles getting destroyed with hail.
Could wipe out a lot I imagine even with the extended warranty plan.

All right, let it snow asbestos.

As person who has had their life effected by asbestos, I detest it and all the criminals who support it's use.
I think of all the people who have said to me, they didn't know it was dangerous.
The dangers of asbestos was first document in the latter part of the 1800s.
We would get asbestos in a 50lb bag when I was young .
My Father was a plmg Htg & Elect guy and we used quite a bit of it.
He passed from asbestoses.
He worked for Brooklyn Navel yd too

I was thinking the same about city/ sewer rats eew!
All I could think of was muskrat and I don't like muskrat, sam i am :D

They've been doing sewer/ storm drain work here for over year now.
Stirred up the sewer rats and some of them got into the neighbors
chicken coop. The killed and ate the chicken. I wonder now if those
rats taste like chicken haha

Now I'm wondering what I might taste like as I eat primarily beef, eggs,
butter and salt


moooo! :LOL::LOL::LOL:
I was at 911 10 days after and HUGE rats that came out at night like cats

My Mom smoked Kent cigarettes "With the "Micronite Filter". The 'Micronite was asbestos in the filter, designed to 'cool' the smoke. Makes sense and probably worked. LOL


Mom died from a stroke at 91... not asbestos related :)

Took my road test on a 1970 F100.
I loved that truck with a bench seat😊
I think(not sure) I might have taken my first test(late 50s) in the driving school car, I got my chauffeur's licence, I eventually let my licence expire. When I moved west I had to redo my licence, that I did in my 1976 Bronco, that was great little vehicle for driving in the mountains.

Sorry to hear about your Dad, those professions unfortunately brought workers in contact with asbestos.
I think it was around the year 2000 when I was diagnosed with asbestosis and pleural plaques. It's one of those diseases that is progressive and always in the back of your mind.

Back then in Kansas we could take a summer course in Drivers Ed you could get a Agricultural license at 14.

Done trimming.....gonna take cuts tomorrow and gonna get a new dome plus I am almost our of Cal/Mag....off to the grow store.
I was driving dump trucks on county roads during the wheat harvest at 14 with no driver's license.
I was at 911 10 days after and HUGE rats that came out at night like cats
When I worked at a ship repair facility on the waterfront near the grain elevators, we would regularly see rats on the ways that were the size of squirrels. They would kill and eat the cats.

Closer to home, when they started sewer upgrades near here, it drove a lot of rats out into the hood and one of the storm-drains on our corner was where they were streaming out. I killed two in our house and complained to the city vector control, who brushed me off and threatened me when I said I would take matters into my own hands using poison.

They said my call was recorded and if any incidents of poisoned pets showed up in our hood, they would be knocking on my door with heavy fines and civil action.

Scofflaw that I am, I continued to pour rat pellets into the storm basin as long as they kept disappearing and after the finished the sewer work, our problem went away.
