i drove home in my shorts

a storm came in, a pretty big one and fast this afternoon. took out the power at the office and through the warehouse.

i work for a masonry contractor, and we are building the new building across the street from the office. the masons have two of the four walls built up to about 18 feet high. but with bracing to hold them

now don, he's 68 and an old time italian mason, said not to worry, them ain't goin no-where

vince, who owns the company, said he didn't care. if they did come down, it was his money payin to rebuild em and the for lawsuit if they fell on someone.

so in the rain, me and a field guy went with barricades and caution to close the sidewalk, then into the muddy site to grab waco planks and brace the walls. i was soaked through by the time i crossed the street. we were out there for an hour, with vince, the owner, bracing walls.

vince was not happy...

because i was soaked through, i grabbed a VIP t-shirt, stripped to mu undies, and drove home. glad i didn't get stopped.

Oh, and i fixed the AC. happy day!
