Every three weeks for me whether it needs it or not. Usually it don’t, but I like to think it does.

We did 21,000 sqft of HWE yesterday...
I feel like I was out all night drinking...
Just played in the garden all day. Drank 2 beer, and I have an afternoon hangover.

I push mowed for 3 hours this afternoon.

Had a salad and sipping ice tea watching TV now.

My son is a mailman does 35k everyday but Sunday when he delivers Amazon packages and operates more like his old job at FedEx.
He laughs when I tell him I had a busy day with 18k steps.

Justin was a regional superintendent for Alpha Waterproofing, the biggest company of its kind in the south. He was based in Austin and traveled all over LA, TX and such. He grew to hate Austin traffic and putting out other people's fires, along with the 80 hour weeks.
He was a certified welder when he joined the company, welding stainless flashing on hospitals and other big projects. His part of the job was being held up by other trades getting behind, so he jumped in to expedite and better organize them. Was promoted to foreman, and then went up the ladder.
Because he wanted a better life for his wife and family he left that rat race. It's certainly no surprise to me that after THAT he wasn't coming back to "just work for dad".
I'm proud of the company he built and the reputation he's earned.

Davis will do fine!
Hard to believe, but there is more to life than cleaning carpets.

Yah, some of us have to clean toilets too. Let’s keep Davis’ story quite. I wouldn’t want my 2nd gen thinking there’s more to life

Davis and I talked about that one night. I guess I'm some sort of ancient, Yoda like figure to kids these days.
I asked him how much of the world outside of Santa Cruz he'd seen (not much it seems) I told him that being single, unattached, with no ties to "place", he needed to see that the world was a bigger place than just what Santa Cruz on a Friday night and what passes for "friends" in such a place has to offer.
He'll never be the same person he would have been had he not done this.
Congrats to you and Paula for helping him find his wings Mike.

Foot tampers are a PITA to operate. Tell him to wear hearing protection ALL the time when on the job, no matter WHAT HE IS OPERATING, or close to machinery.
Ive suffered permanent hearing loss from construction.
It’s a loud, aggressive environment.
He will learn to love the level of accomplishment.
after he suffers through the learning phase, the sore muscles that he’s never used, and gets a few paycheque’s under his belt, he’ll start to enjoy it....
