Wink money well spent

have a neighbor park in the driveway during the day, leave the radio on when away; install the motion sensor lights outside the gal's place...personally I tell some old timers to leave out two dishes and a chain for the dog (no dog actually though)..learned to listen to convicts on what they hate for breakins....lol

hate when that happens, to family- get some sleep T rad....

FRONTY- never a dull moment at your place, man....you're gonna miss this (as the song goes). hope all is well with you.

sorry I missed your call REDLEG, just left to work on the 04 truck....

rain forecast for opening day of hunting. got some fellas and my son (!woohoo) coming out for the big day. getting food stocked now! again, so nice to see the very responsible , happy man..all of his friends are so polite! should drop off a goodie box, they all deserve it for making good choices in their lives...

heidi deciding whether to build an observation deck in the woods

Had to finish off what was left of the boiled-down coffee, so I guess I'll make a pot. With the amount of folks in here, this fresh pot might still be around for me to finish off in a few hours too...

Well I got an excuse, I'm sick. I dunno why no one else is comin' around anymore.

Trad, I can tell ya howta rig a shotgun to a tree so if a door/window is opened the shotgun fires. Only tricky part is the aim. And rememberin' to disarm it yourself!

I can handle booby traps the only problem is our fine state government thought those would be a bad idea and made them illegal.

And just WHY would you tell them in the first place? You DO have a backhoe I assume?

Afternoon all!

Kids in two different schools, ailing Grandparrents and a honeydo list that is moving into volume 7 or 8...... I got to be at work in 5 hours. Can't wait for the break

I'll put on some crude to share with y'all later.

Afternoon all,


Hope everyone is healthy or at least on the mend ... sounds like half the board is down with the crud .

Spent the better part of the day arguing over installed sprinkler systems. One company is being paid to install them in a new bldg and the other company that actually does our inspections is un-officially pointing out discrepancies in their work (as a personal favor to me).
Now the general contractor is cussing me, the installers are cussing me, the boss is on vacation in New Mexico and the fire marshal will be here to inspect on Monday !! It's fun being the new guy .

Hat ... who was it that had the quote about being surrounded ??? Something about "at least now we know where the enemy is so we can kill them !!"'

Time for a brew-ha-ha !!
