Congrats to her! Both my mother and my wife are nurses, it's a messy thankless job that requires a certain calling to be able to do it, I sure couldn't so hats off to her.

Did the Daytona tour while visiting Jacksonville. The museum is amazing and has really upgraded since I last saw it 25 years ago. Highly recommend it for NASCAR fans and motorsport fans, alike. Mrs. 2LZ really enjoyed herself and had a blast. She's a fellow gear-head though, and loves racing of all kinds.

Thanks to my Dad, I despise carpentry. It doesn't mean I can't do it, I'd just rather slam my hand in a car door.

In that same vein, this is Kevin, our French Tech in Yucatan. Nine hours into a one hour job. He's laying across boxes of rail insulators.

He's kind of a big boy and wasn't enjoying the heat, humidity, or the job, at all.
