It gets hotter than hell in summer that makes bare feet scorch.
And it looks like plastic wood.
The white Trex railings are always stained and looks dirty compared to the stain resistance of wood.
40K in plastic was a bad investment in my opinion.

I have a "two hour rule" on drain clearings. If I haven't cleared it in 2 hours, it's time to call the guy.
I woke up this morning to find the water had magickly drained and it now drains like normal.
For the life of me I can’t figure that one out.
The only thing I can think of is that the day before I turned on my outdoor sink for the first time this season which may have clogged the drain with yard debris and leaves that accumulated over the winter.

Ever plug the toilet with a huge Taco Bell dump and come back later to find it flushes just fine?

Whatever was clogging the drain dissolved enough to slip on down the pipe.

Quack, Still raining.

Picked up Chinese food tonight. Wow, they way they “process orders” is crazy. Whole front of Resturant is separated by a complete clear plastic wall. cc goes into a machine via a 3” x 5” hole...

Ya sign receipt and put in bucket. Towels, spray for pens.

Only one person per time. Ya then have to go to a table and find your order amongst the others. Wow



Better than Fish Bites.


Hope Flexo is on the mend

This whole contactless retail nonsense is silly.

The last 3 months millions of minimum wage 19 year old Wal Mart cashiers have been working 40 hours a week in constant contact with thousands of people without the world ending.

Every commercial on TV is from a pizza chain promoting contactless food.

My brain hurts.
