I spent the day in Niagara on the Lake interviewing 4 people for a summer job at my company as a tour guide at Niagara Falls. It’s a 160 mile round trip for me to get there so it’s cheaper on gas to take the Civic but way more fun to take the Vette. Today I took the Vette 😎
 
I met today with a tree trimmer. Going to have him take down two dead trees and grind a stump on a stubby tree that I am taking down.
Talk about money.....those guys will make you cry....I don't want any trees near the house....

Indeed, they will. Fortunately, I have Jose. I got put onto Jose by my neighbor, no idea how they found him, but he saw me watching him work across the street, and he came over and gave me his card.

I kept the card. A year later I called Jose out of the blue in regard to a 10"-12" 30 plus foot tree that had completely died out front of my place. I had to leave a message. He called me back a few hours later. To my surprise he was already outside my house looking at the tree when he called back. I was expecting at least a $1500 to $2000 bid, and I already knew from the neighbor he was reasonable. He said in broken English "for fiddy". Not sure I had heard him correctly I responded slowly "Four hundred Fifty dollars?". He answered "Jess". I could hardly believe my ears, but in a @Zee09 moment I said, "How about 400?" "DEAL!" says Jose, extending his hand with a big grin behind it. He then took out the tree, in the dark, in the rain, for 400 bucks, in about an hour and a half, and even did a nice clean up job.

Everybody needs a Jose.
 
I’m wide awake at 1am after being woken up by a huge thunderstorm here. The lightning strikes sound like they’re happening very close to me 😬

The weather here is transitioning from winter like yesterday (we had a couple of inches of snow, then freezing rain) to summer weather today (heavy rain and lightning now, but going up to almost 70 degrees this afternoon with sunshine)
