Peace.

Happy Holidays!!!

I wish you all the happiest of holidays as we sure need it.

I'll return on January 1, 2026. I'm attending to all the construction activity going on, such as serving lunch, water and cervesa aka beer. Also, my email was down half the day and is still messed up, power went out several times, and this has exhausted me. I abhor getting old.

I won't leave you empty handed so here are a few memes for your viewing pleasure.

Things are progressing nicely  and I'm getting an unexpected concrete fence. The steel framing for the roof is up but my email won't send the latest photos. Just shoot me. Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Happy Kwanzaa and happy everything!

Wait, whut? My emails just came through...here is the latest photo.

Yeah, it is hot here!

Holiday love to you all.

 Honestly, I don't want a brand new year...

I want a gently used one. Maybe a 2013. I'd even take a 1995 if it's still in decent condition.
