This is the first time on GMT since and he was always on this first page. I’d been busy with Reno’s and family stuff-then I saw the thread his daughter posted. Gets away from you sometimes. Well hell.

No But I’m going to hit it at dawn.
Yesterday I talked to a concrete finisher who owes me a big favor. He going to send me some of his guys to handle the rest of the riprap. Some big strong workers. I just can’t handle a 90# bag of concrete anymore. And it pisses me off.
