It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!
Bob, we have really boring weather here in paradise. Every day is about the same, nothing but sun, sun and more sun. Continuous temps of around 75-80 degrees with a humidity of about 45%. Deep blue skies and a light breeze just help to make these days extra boring. I am forced to spend every day in shorts and flip-flops. Maybe I need to take another trip north to relieve this boredom. Will spend two days in Dallas next week, so that may help a bit.
Sounds like that shop was trying to play with your head. (sorry, couldn't help that) Hate shops like that. You may well have a low compression on one cylinder, but I would personally do a compression check to verify this. Why was it in the shop anyway?

Heat wave today, got up to the mid 40's
This ole boy left Connecticut 'cause it got cold.
The Bat Cave is getting wild. More stuff to support therefore more tools. I don't need 6 1/2" socket sets. Just let me pick out what I need instead of pileing on me 4,752 lbs. of tools I won't use.
Raining now, maybe the ground will firm up. At least the truck is kinda clean.
Took daughter into work yesterday and when I pulled back on the freeway, there was a Nissan pickup on my bumper. Couldn't even see his grill. All of a sudden, the ice sheet that was on my roof decided to let loose. One edge caught him in the middle of the hood and the rest hit flat against the windshield. Stuff happens
Ready to start turning some dirt. Be glad when it gets warmer.
Got a long one tomorrow so I need to crash early.

Where's my coffee?
SR, thank you for making sure we are all awake, I almost overslept.
Time to wake up the 16 year old. He is coming to work with me today.
We are going to repair a sewer line. Guess who gets to be the one with the shovel.
Is it wrong to enjoy taking the boy to work?
I just enjoy torturing him, it's my job as a stepdad.

Sounds like a few bodies stirring quite well this fine sunny morning and thinking only of their bellies. You were quite noisy, SR.
Busy day today - - White Ghost is going to get a bath and TLC - - she is filthy. She will smile. That should finish this day off quite well - - I really mean filthy.
Take care - - need and my oatmeal.

Now, can I tell you about the real Paradise?
Just finished washing my wifes car and the daughters car. Did it in my usual shorts and flip-flops. Temp is 74 degrees, nice breeze, brilliant blue sky, humidity of 42%, the coffee is hot and my fruit breakfast awaits outside on the patio.
AHhhhhhhhhhhh

Love those changes of scenery and weather. And, how long can one person stay in Paradise and not get a little itchy footsy?

Get a move on ......slackers......
Coffee's ready, looking for donuts.
Last minute cleaning going on this AM.
1st leg of Wifey's return flight looks to be running about 20 minutes ahead of schedule.
(That is VERY unusual for a flight leaving Peru. They're usually 30-40 minutes late.)
'Bout a 3 hour layover in Miami, due in here ~noonish.
Very foggy this morning.
Vis down to 1/4 mile, even less in low areas.
Y'all B safe
