EVERYONE ELSE WOULD BE SOOOOOOOOO JEALOUS!

Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills - it's a standardized test that the school system takes pretty seriously out here.

That thing isn't finished! Don't take it out in public yet.

You're right, I need to get the flagpoles on it first. What was I thinking?

Yeah, that's the one. It is a long tedious day for students and teachers. I think I need a beer.

Follow that with "crap" and you'd have a semi-polite term for what the students and teachers probably call it.

Come on down!!! I have an extra you can have.

Bless you for working through all that TAKS stuff!!!! Been there; done that!

LMAO, the kicker is when i woke up this morning next Saturday showed a 60% chance of scattered showers, now it's down to 10%......

Put into perspective, a week and half ago all the weather sites and reporters said there was a ZERO percent chance of rain. Well of course it starts raining while I'm painting on my boat! (doesn't work well with the paint in case anyone couldn't guess).

Bah, it doesn't matter, I was out partying last year in the pouring rain and freezing my coconuts off, and I'll do it again this year if I have to

Here are a couple of pictures of the hot tub after I filled it up and got the jets going yesterday;

You did clean it up, "nice". BTW could you paint the trailer too.

Awersome job! Both of you!!!

Did the TiKI Tub spring any new leakies in your garage?

Yeah, the TAKS was a p*** of sorts too!!

but "p***!" in New England is a GOOD thing.....

I'm so confused....

Well folks, if you're not headed to Houston, then I'll see you in about a week. Otherwise, see you tomorrow!!

My personal forecast calls for 98 degrees inside the hot tub. It took all day but that's what the thermometer said when I got home from work. These little heaters take a while, but it seems to be doing the job.
