Meter door break-in – update

IMG_8446.JPGIMG_8448.JPG

Well the lock install really helped.  Someone tried to break in again and nothing happened this time!  Apparently all the attempted break-ins are wearing out the medal bike chain.  I guess I need to think of another way of securing the meter box after they break this one.

Truck?

It is hard to capture the height of this truck.  I am not sure why you want a monster truck, maybe because it gets better gas mileage?

Wrong amount of change

I was giving out 5 quarters for a dollar, what a deal!  The changer likes to do 4 for a dollar also.  Bob Wilkins? from Zep Manufacturing? gave me a call to inform me.  Thanks Bob (not really sure about the name or the company though but he is a nice guy).

BEST SIGN EVER?

Jet-Pep on 19th Street in Bessemer has the best sign ever, “Save water drink more beer”.  It is appropriate because Birmingham is having a drought and I am doing my part, thanks Jet-Pep.

New dumpster?

Well it looks like a new company for my dumpster.  It only took about 5 weeks to fix the dumpster top.  They actually provided a new lock that they lost, or maybe they stole my lock in the first place?

Someone cremated my cone

One of my bays was closed down because I do not have a spare reusable fitting (for my high pressure leak).  So someone caught the cone on fire then ran over it.  But this gave me a great idea:  Why not cremate all my Mimosa tree limbs?

So I went to the grocery store to purchase some lighter fluid which I could not find.  Do they still sell lighter fluid?  So I had to start the fire the old school way with the free “New Homes” papers.  I still have a long way to go to finish.
