Never let anyone know you know how to pour cement!! Unfortunitely I made the mistake...I even have all the tools and floats! Kind of like having a truck and having to help everyone move.

:lol: I just run the truck (and load it). All I have to do is go to a location, pull a few levers,drive back to the yard, wash out the auger and chute, then hop on the front end loader and load rock, sand, portland, and water. Then go back out. I don't know anything about finishing or forming except when I get a chance to watch those guys work (not very often) 8)
P.S. I know all about the moving truck deal, next thing I buy will be a small convertible!

I'm here... it seems as if everyone else here in the "states" is still asleep. :?

Thanksgiving.. is the 4th Thursday of Nov. {although I am not sure why?}

Because of this the date is not consistant.

Good Morning Glen..

So its the 22nd then? How long is the school vacation for kids there during this special day?

Here the kids have winter vacation and not far away is Christmas vacation which is about 2 weeks and winter vacation is about the same.

Thank You Carol

Humor is one trait of my character .... but my wife tells me I also have black humor which she doesnt like in me.. :oops: :oops: but I can honestly say that the good humor over rides the black humor.. :lol: :lol:

Yes this year Thanksgiving is the 22nd.. I know it has been as late as the 27th before.. I am not sure if later or earlier than those dates.

I was not aware that kids are off for vacation. { I have no kids in school}.

Yet things like that vary here over the country. Kids don't always have the same vacation state to state. There are a lot of weird things like that here. :roll:
