      Every morning I start off by hydrating

      Then immediately begin the dehydrating process. Turned the sweatband into a bib bc tbh white clothing is never safe on my body.

      Saturdays are usually chill. Had some morning errands to run so brought the pup and had a quick walk before it got too hot…& yes, it’s always hot here.

          Yeah, way to go Rox! That's not grandma style, you have to work . 😉

          Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
          Well, I have others.

            Wondering what the heck you are using the 'Knipex' (at this early time of the day) for ?

                It’s obviously a thing for twenty-something Hawaiian grandmas who work in construction.

                Good stuff Rox.

                    Thanks everyone! As for the pliers, there’s always some loose nuts and bolts floating around the old noggin that needs tightening every morning.

                    & yeah twenty something sounds about right @neph93  😉

                    For today's bandana mug diary, got around to checking some drywall tools and did some blade adjustments. We’re about to close up some walls this week so seemed like a good idea to get the toys spiffied up.

                    Then stopped by Redwing to pick up my order. New shoes for work and play 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾. Seriously gotta stop buying stuff…after the next couple things.

                          When estimating a woman’s age the correct formula to use is x=d-1 where x is age and d is decades.

                          I like those RW’s. Good job.

                            When asked by a woman to guess her age the correct formula is to run the other way as fast as possible.

                              Is it that big a deal? It can’t be as bad as asking how far along a woman is when she’s not pregnant.

                              Anyways, work week. Due to school traffic been leaving early and angrily enjoying the sunrises while on the road. Coffee is an absolute must before setting foot onsite.

                              As for what I actually do onsite, (the cliff notes version) the company I’m currently with hired me to do their drywall finishing but mostly assist the project foreman run the site as we’re the general contractors in charge of a public housing project. Basically run the field office. Been in the drywall trade for +12 yrs. and every few years I jump ship and try something different out. This time I feel like I jumped into a burning clown house inferno. They basically threw me and the foreman into a lions den.

                              On a good note today was easy peasy just tailing behind the electrician patching his wall switches in different units. We converted one of the buildings to accommodate people with disabilities and after 10 months of tears, headaches, lots of mud and digging trenches we finally got it ready for punchlist inspection. So before the final inspection and building turn over I’m going around with the different subs and checking that they’ve completed their list as well as the gc side. 

                              Always time for coffee while waiting for mud to dry.

                                          Tbh I’m better at breaking things rather than fixing them 😅

                                          @Steffen the miir bottle is alright. Coffee is warm after 6 hrs. My other hydro keeps it hot longer. Haven’t tested anything cold yet.

                                          Thanks @bryaneidins

                                          As for updates, had the day off yesterday due to some random unheard of state holiday so cheers to that! Went to an early matinee movie with the sis, drove around a jammed packed parking garage for an hr just to check out a night market in town which was pretty cool, and had ramen for dinner.

                                          Forgot to snap an outfit pic yesterday so did that this a.m.

                                          View from the parking garage


                                          As for this morning, just some giving the forgotten mocs some tlc and took fit pics of the 777R-142.
