More like what I did yesterday LOL. Started the morning off by finishing up my onboarding paperwork for a new job. Took it down and turned it in. Then went about my day LOL. Finally after almost 7 years being stuck at McDonalds working again, I finally was able to land a better paying job with healthcare benefits, set hours paid time off, holidays off, etc. When you have a felony for grand theft, your options for employment become very slim, at least here in Idaho. So, when I applied at the company I'll start working for on October 2nd...I didn't figure I'd really ever hear anything as I don't try and hide my past, I feel its better to be up front and not waste anyone's time. So, when I received a call back to setup a time to come in for an interview I was kind of thrown off. Got through the interview, and was hired on the spot. So, now its just a matter of a 2 week notice to my current employer (even though they don't deserve it), I at least have it as a backup in case things don't work out at the new employer, and at the very least I did everything right with my old employer by finishing out my 2 weeks.
Yesterday afternoon, I called a local tree company to give me a bid on taking out 2 old 100+ foot tall cottonwood trees in my back yard...OUCH!!! That got expensive $6700 to have the trees removed, and the stumps ground down. But, I figure overall that's cheaper than the damage that could potentially be done to buildings on the property if either of those trees should come down. So, that is setup for next Thursday, an all day job I assume to get those trees down. I'll feel better once they're down though, I've already had a few very large limbs break off and come down, so its time to take care of the trees before damage is done, and insurance has to get involved.
The car I had been driving finally gave up, so back to daily driving my 87 Ranger....
Went to a wedding last weekend, which is about 95 miles one way from home, up in the mountains. Had a great drive up there and back, took my F250 up there just to see how it would do on a longer trip. No issues at all, and managed 17.4mpg with it...that's with the 6.8L V10, and 3.73 ratio axles. I'd say not too bad....considering my 88 F250 would have gotten maybe 14-15mpg at best with the 460 V8 and C6 automatic with 4.30 axles.
