Just another Saturday

There's busy and there's busy. And in the mix there is my regular Saturday. This is my typical Saturday. Alarm went off this morning at 3:35, which is my normal time to get up. I felt a bit lazy, was supposed to do an arm workout but rode my bike for 5 miles instead. Went in to work for 3 hours, finished one job and set up the machine for a new job on Monday. Ran by a bee yard and grabbed a frame of bees, took them to my younger son's house and put in a mating nuc with a new virgin. Came home and spent some time working on my AC. I am replacing the split system, the new unit is taller and the air outlet is offset so I need to make a new plenum with two compound angles. Finished about 2/3 and had other problems. Secured the copper line set to the wall with tap cons, tried to run the lines and got a major kink in the 3/4 line. Had to cut it and now I need a splice that the local suppliers will not sell to me. So I am delayed until at least Tuesday. I need to find a beekeeper who does AC work and can swap parts for queens. Had a call to remove some bees yesterday and my older son is looking to get his first hive. Went over and the colony was under a mini play house. Unfortunately the floor was made of fancy bamboo so we had to dig a hole next to the house and reach in. The bees were not there long so there was not a lot of comb. Put some combs in frames and shook in some bees. Started running the vacuum when my son decided to dig a second hole around the corner. While clearing out some dirt he found the queen, go figure. Back home, checked my incubator, 3 queens came out so I'll set mating nucs tomorrow.
