Well, today is the day! It's the annual seal coating of the driveway! (whoopee!) Another round of parking in the street for an entire day because the black gooey stuff has to dry before you can park/walk on it again. It's a bit like having a portion of the La Brea Tar Pit dumped in the middle of your driveway but hey, they tell me it protects that beautiful black sheen of my driveway for many months to come and gets me through the cold of winter! So, here are "da guys" out there just working away. The "goo" they put down is sticky, black and unforgiving if you get sloppy with it. I suspect they go through a lot of jeans and shoes! I learned a long time ago that if you are blessed with enough income, there are certain things that you should just pay to have done - even if it's easily something you could do...... this is one of those things..... So, we have a working symbiotic relationship - they want the money and are willing to do the work, and I am willing to pay them!... 8O)

Musings, deep thoughts, and just plain dumb stuff from the mind of a fellow who finds himself getting older every day.....
About Me
- Jerry
- Born in Memphis, TN many moons ago. Educated at East High School and Christian Brothers University in the mysteries of Electrical Engineering. Married for 36 years this year to the same lovely lady with three beautiful children. Lived in LA, WV, IN, IL and essentially all-over TX (well, at least on business trips). Love my family deeply, feel very blessed by God (more than I deserve) and appreciative of all the friends I have made in this life! My first car was a Chevy II Nova (in upper right of my picture) - one of the first Nova's of this type made. It had a straight 230 cu in six and Torque Drive. Torque Drive meant it had no clutch but you still had to shift it from first to second when starting out (second to third was automatic). Very unique car. I loved it! Now I have a Mustang GT (going on 19 yrs old) given to me by my wonderful wife and it is still a blast. I now have a new daughter - the beautiful lady my son married! So thankful for all my family!

Hey I thought that was you and Mark at first! Great addition of video! : ) I sooo need to have this done at our house before winter. Send those guys my way, they look energetic! I saw your cars parked on the street this morning but missed the workers later. Then I thought your drive looked very dark when I was online later today.
I am happy (HAPPY) to say that was NOT Mark and me. (That explains why we DON'T smell like tar today but the driveway does! ;O)
They do a very good job. We usually use the same crew every year. For about $50 they clean and coat the driveway and if you have oil spills (we didn't) they charge another $6. Well worth it.

Wow, that is a good price. Wish someone would do our big drive for that!
