Good Morning.

Drott, are you guys swamped over there doing driving tests? A friend of mine said his grandson couldn't find a place to take his driving test any earlier than a couple of months. One of them even told him they didn't have an opening until December! I don't think any teenager would want to wait that long. :)

Their always in a hurry. Then when they fail. The parents say so you mean we have to wait 3-4 months for an appointment. They don't care that their teen was speeding, not stopping at stop signs or almost hit something or someone nope. Just complain about the waite to get another appointment. What their forgetting is. Driving is a privilege not a right.

Yes Decembers good. were out to February on less someone cancels. They should check daily for cancelations. We have 3rd parties that test could get in there. But they do charge. Free testing by Penn Dot is backed up through out the whole state.
Holy cow Drott! I never realized the driver tests could get that backed up!

I know the MC classes fill up and get backed up fast! I signed up in the winter, so got a nice early spot in the spring. :) I think they stop in October, not sure when they start back up? OH COOL! I see now that you can take the classroom part during the winter! Great idea!

Good afternoon...

Mrs Punkin is happy again. Since our usual plumber turned down the job, we went with a new guy to remove and replace two faucets. He arrived this morning 10 minutes ahead of schedule and did a great job. Cleaned up after he was done and even put booties over his shoes so he wouldn't scuff the floor. I also liked everything except the bill. They do good work but are not cheap. I don't mind paying a little more when they know what they are doing. :)

I'm thankful that Mr. V is a pretty good plumber. I pay him in cookies.

For what I paid today you could buy a WHOLE lot of cookies! :lol:

The job wasn't that difficult it is just that I couldn't fit in the area that the slim plumber had to go into! :)

Been a bad few weeks busted hot water pipe flooded the basement then Weezie scratched the he ll out of her face. Shes in one of those blow up collars and on antibiotics. And gets wash with 50/50 peroxide and water 2x a day.
