Happy last day of school

Penultimate day. Effectively the last day of school since both schools get out at 11am tomorrow for the summer. Spent this morning doing training before our end of the year party at the shop.

Good morning

Updated the timers and sprinkler setup in Nevermore. Swapped out my good hoses for cheap ones since I'm just going to let they lay out there all summer. I've got almost the entire big yard now covered with just 6 sprinklers running from one two-outlet wifi timer valve on one standpipe.
Two of the sprinklers hit the area around the door so I'm good for zero casualties this year.

Today's mini adventure. 6 of us drove to salmon with 5 old buses and a van to come back in. Most of these buses have sat unused since Alturas, some were being used as parts. Surprisingly, they did great, except for a tail pipe falling off one.
As we were pulling into Sage Junction weigh station to deal with the pipe, the driver of that bus called our mechanic in the van to tell him, and then the mechanic got pulled over by ISP inside the station for using his phone. Fortunately he only got a warning, but OMG this was exactly why we brought radios today!
They're expecting 2-4 more buses too.
After we delivered, Rob recommended the Savage in Salmon and bought us all lunch. Nice hometown mom n pop stop.
I drove the van back. Nice to have ac this afternoon with temps in the 80's.
