How'd it go today?

[SouthSoundTree]

Chris, just don't take a nap in there somewhere in the freshly painted room. Worse than boozing, sniffing paint.

Sad new indeed Steve. My condolences

 

[Dave Shepard]

My condolences Steve. Peaceful is good.

My kids are 140 miles away staying with my parents this weekend. So I was like "why can I do with the freedom?" At first I was like "I'm going to rent a sports car, drink top shelf booze, snort coke, maybe hit the casino on my way to the strip bar".

Then I just decided I'd organize my fishing gear. Mow the lawn. Maybe paint out youngest daughters bedroom with my wife. Probably a nap in there too somewhere.

Hahahaha. The coke snortin' struck me in the funny.

My condolences brother. Iam not looking forward to the day.who ever is actually?

 

[flushcut]

Thanks for the thoughts guys.

4.45pm yesterday, very peaceful, she never was one to make a fuss. Only thing she was ever scared of was going into an "old people's home" and taken away from her garden, we never let that happen.

I am glad she is at peace and sorry for your loss

That's sounds like fun Rajan! You are going to Chicago and we are going to Wisconsin today, trading states for the day.

The tour was boring as hell but we made it fun. Then we hooked up with my wife's half brother who runs a bar, El Hefe, on State and Hubbard and got caught a good buzz then off to the train for the ride to Harvard. $7/per person for a unlimited Metra pass on weekends.

Since my wife Catherine's appointment to a judge I've had my tree service shutdown for a week now.
We bought a house in the new city, presently at home now getting our place ready to go on the market tomorrow with the realtor
Yard sale done busy busy doing fixups.
Thank god we leave the packing and moving to some one else.

 

[August Hunicke]

Wow. Cool promotion.

 

[SouthSoundTree]

Congrats to her, Willard. How far will you move? Change in your client base?

Prepping for a community/ local business picnic meet and greet on my peninsula outside of Olympia, proper. Next year I'll be better prepared with a good slideshow. Now, I'm just working on a handout informational sheet with tips for HOs.

Not that anyone ever wins an argument with his wife, but it seems like it might be even more difficult if she was a judge. . .

Bud, I told her and her fiancee the whole area is now open for a tree service now that I'm pulling stakes.
She was suggesting she may quit teaching and start treework. .......all the good luck to her.

August, it was bad enough when she was a prosecutor. But I can hold my own though after practice with 12 years of marriage ha ha.

Thanks Sean
Moving to Thompson, MB small city 4 hrs drive from here. No established tree service there as was here before I moved here. Going to be double the work due to the double population and higher per capita income.
We found a nice home on the far south west corner of town overlooking the river and spruce forest

 

[RopeArmour]

That's where I was born.
Best of luck!

Wow! Did you live there long?
I lived there ftom '86 to '91 when I logged for Manfor.

 

[RopeArmour]

4.5 yrs from 1968. some of my family remained and lived good lives there.
Would love to go back.
Still have a great love for the shiny metal and forests that comes out of there. Metal and trees!
Funny how I ended up working for a cambridge family that surveyed that land and
still have ties to it.
It really is a small world.

 

[HolmenTree]

yes it really is a small world. If I'm not mistaken that mine owned by Vale is the 2nd largest producer of nickel in the world.
Thompson is called the wolf capital of the world as it's an" island "in the remotest part of the Canadian Boreal forest.
The city's first neighborhood was built around 1960
Like you said when your family left Thompson in 1972 it was probably due to the mine's largest union strike at about that time.
About half the population left for greener pastures.

 

[RopeArmour]

Found a bar in wtloo

 

[MasterBlaster]

I wonder what their specialty drink is? The 50:1?

 

[Fiddler]

Back home from 4 days at a Bluegrass festival. Had a great time; stage shows went well Fri, played in some awesome jams 'til the Sun came up a couple different mornings, visited with many old long-time friends and made some new ones.

Just woke up from a 5 hour nap and unloaded some camping things from the truck. House work on the agenda this evening then back to reality tomorrow.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Sounds fun! Do you make any coin at these things?

 

[woodworkingboy]

Willard, with your wife as a judge behind you, i would say that in a few short years, there is a good chance that you will be running that town.
