Morning.
Tallguy, I read that your truck is facing a tranny rebuild/replace to the tune of $6k, is that right?
That's good.
I'd be lying if I said I hadn't ever lost my clothes in the yard. I was trimming the bushes on the fence line a couples summers ago and I hit a nest of red ants who had made their home in the hollowed out dead branches. I saw the ants all over, but I didn't see the ants all over me. After a few bites I look down, covered and instinctively ripped clothes off, right there in the yard, even the cap I was wearing. Satisfied with my quick thinking I'm standing there admiring my cat like prowess. Then I look over and see my neighbor standing outside, watching the show
If you can't lose clothes in the yard, you're not enjoying home maintenance and chores to the fullest.

Well Shorts, I was thinking about that weed-eater you mentioned...I used to have one of those, I think the brand was homelite or something like that, I do remember the name of the model..."bandit".
So one saturday I mowed the lawn and the driveway, there´s about 1/4 mile driveway with grass on both sides and in the middle.
After that I went out and fired up the "bandit" to get the grass around the trees and so, but that thing threw grass everywhere, so when I was done I was about as green as I could be.
To be sure not to get grass all over the house, I took off my jeans and T-shirt outside before I took a shover, that´s when this conversation happened.
GF: Why´d you put your clothes out on the lawn?
Me: Because it´s got grass all over it, I´ll let it dry and brush it off tomorrow.
GF: But you remember that my mom is coming this afternoon right?
Me: Yes dear.
GF: then what´s you gonna tell her if or when she asks you what happened?
Me: I´ll just tell her the truth, that I´ve been out swinging the "bandit" around.
GF: Yeah you´re right you ain´t.
Grabbing coffee and on my way...

Well, this oughta be interestin'. 'Boss C0ffee'... maybe it commands your attention at the most inopportune moments?
And Scotty, would you PLEEEEZE do your feminine legg care stuff at home instead of the DTR restrooms? I installed a game trail camera to see who was clogging the drains with hair, and I figured it was you. Now I have proof!

That was a good day when men could freely drink again. I believe a kegorator in the corner would be a useful item to reconize this great moment in history.

Well, got to see the Doc today to get my ear chopped on. I got stiches on top, on the back, and on the front. I really think that he put on a new one. Third time for chasing the cancer, but all good.
Did you know that when you take 2 percoset (prescribed) you get goofy feeling????????
Not much on taking pills, but he said if I didn't take them, I'd discover a brand new level of descriptive and colorful language.
