Concrete Blog

How does a normally otherwise, almost 40ish, mom/concrete tool entrepreneur/amateur blogger find herself up at the computer at 1:47 in the a.m.?  It may have something to do with that extra scoup of beans at dinner… OR… it could be a “wicked case of the ‘BLOGUILTS’.  (Just by virtue of my using the term “wicked” one might have easily guessed my age and there probably was no need in disclosing THAT bit of information… but as I stated… the “bloguilts” do hit hard.)What, praytell, are “the bloguilts”.  It has to do with hosting a blog and then proceeding to ignore it for the past two, practically three, months!  Of course blog ideas have been floating around my head and I will do my best to write, categorize, and spell check them in the coming weeks.

Just today we had vistitors stop by the shop to check out one of our concrete screeds.  An absolutly charming cowboy from up near Dubois Wyoming. ( Dubois is a great little town at the gateway of Yellowstone National Park and is pictured above.)  He came through on his way to an antique truck show in Colorado with his son.  His son had seen our screed on the web and they wanted to see it first hand.  NOW, probably the OTHER reason for my nocturnal alertness… I DIDN’T take any great photo’s of the visit… so this is a “text only” blog… oh, I’ll try and find some photo’s to fit the story!

Anyway, our new friend Mac and his son Mark, along with Mark’s girlfriend, Kara, got the full tour… we were all old enough and a complementary can of beer was included.  Mac and Mark assured us that they had a lot of concrete to pour up in Idaho for a daughter/sister.  They were fairly certain that our concrete screed would do the trick… atleast I had the impression that Mac could picture Mark behind the screed!  We wish them a fun time in Colorado and a great trip back to the ranch! 

Well, long story short, that is what Tom and I love about our business model… Tom builds, I tell the story, and our customers become friends.  We’ll see if we can’t get Mac, Mark and Kara to send along a few photos! 

That’s about it for this blog… a little confession is good for the soul.   I think there is a little cake left over in the kitchen….
