The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXXIII

JLarson · 06-07-2019, 07:49 AM

Morning all, happy Friday! Quiet day in the office - OSHA training around 10. Leaving early to finish out from home, have a landscaper coming by to give me an estimate on a little issue we're having in the yard with drainage.

Turns out that the previous owners of my house and the previous owners of my neighbors house made an agreement to allow my neighbors sump pump to drain in the front corner of my yard, towards a culvert in the road. That worked out fine until my current neighbor replaced his sump pump, and the new one gets rid of a crapload more water - so now I've got a stream meandering through part of the yard. Most significantly since there is no stream bed, it's been flooding the front-right corner of the yard where everything is kind of low already.

Neighbor is cool though, so is working with me to get it resolved and willing to pay for it. I consider it a huge blessing that I didn't have a fight over it.

Good on them. Good neighbors are hard to come by sometimes!

madwi · 06-07-2019, 07:52 AM

The definition down here in FLA said it was a purple colored thc laced drink... not a Frankie Special style sex act. Although, it's still smart to have doubts about me.

I'z up.

TGIF!!!

Lot of work to do around the house this weekend.

Install new drag link and Smartbar swaybar on the Power Wagon.

The new patio cover is up. Have to trim up a couple of 12" concrete squares to fit around the posts.

Finish up the raised garden beds.

When the neighbor had their house built. They put in a french drain with a sump pump. The drain pipe was pointed at my house. The one year, we had a really wet spring. I couldn't figure out why the corner of my front yard was mushy. I was out there walking around when the pump kicked on. Then I could see the water flowing. I when and got the neighbor and showed him what was happening. He got out a shovel and started to dig and found the end of the pipe. Ended up redoing the drain pipe by making it longer and pointing it towards the street.

UGG, check engine light for the truck came on today on the way into work. Something else to look at when I get home today. Have to plug
my Smarty in and see what is going on.

Happy effin' Friday!!

Should have time after work to get the Lexus squared away. I noticed the need to replace a couple of o-rings, also.

That flight back from Hawai'i has been a nightmare. Supposed to leave around 11 pm Weds night HI time. They cancelled it and reschedule departure for 9:30 am Thurs. At 7 am they cancelled that one. American ended up putting him on a United flight leaving at 11 pm Thurs to DC. He's then got a flight on American back to Austin scheduled to arrive around 4 pm today. What a nightmare...

Ghostvette · 06-07-2019, 10:06 AM

Back from the land of crappy roads. Holy crap... the surface streets in Lincoln gave me a headache...I felt like all my fillings got rattled loose..

Let's see... I got called a 'terrorist' at an Omaha Burger King by some old dude that worked there...

Dude... EGA means I KILL TERRORISTS..... moron....

And had a moron in a dually pulling a 35' fifth wheel trailer make a left turn into a Casey's in front of me.

I was tempted to pull in behind him and flatten all the tires on one side, including the trailer... but I didn't figure the sheriff that pulled in behind him would appreciate that...

I don't if I can avoid it. However, it's the only airline I have points status with other than Southwest (which hopefully will soon add HI to their stops). So I tend to use American for anywhere Southwest doesn't fly. Unfortunately.

Southwest flights to Hawai'i are available, the only challenge is they are only from West Coast ports ATM... My fiancee is already bugging me to take her there....
