Not even for a price. I've put 200+ miles on the truck today, burnt $50 in diesel and made who knows how many phone calls looking for dirt. I found have of the quantity required for free, just 3 miles away. The super hasn't called me back. I found a pit where I can get some soft shale, it'll work but I can't get it until Monday. I found a clay pit, $50 a load plus trucking, 25 miles away and will open on Saturday if I let him know I need the dirt. I found the perfect soil, a sandy clay, 20 miles away, owner hasn't called me back. The first show is suppose to start in 45 minutes........NOT!!! I tried to call the promoter to let him know what I found, no answer, no voice mail. I went by his trailer at the fair, he's not there. Checked the fairgrounds, can't find him there either. I've run my backside all day for nothing, oh well, not the first time.

On an interesting side note, I did talk to the horse people. Their contract requires an oval shaped, 90x120, 14" riding area. The promoter wanted a 40x80, no where big enough according to the horse folks.

As far as the storm, better go buy your fuel now. The east coast has about 7% of our refining capacity located there. A storm like this is all they need to jack the fuel prices again.

Or the flat bar, or the dimples.

 

That turned out great!! You need to build a few more, find a construction site and bury them at night to be discovered the next day. Maybe pitch a few arrow heads and rib bones from a bear in with it.

Sounds like you have gone above and beyond and its time to get some cash up front from the guy.

Maybe thats what my sleep problem has been. Counting sheep is too exciting for me.

 

lalalalaaa

Hello people. Hope everyone is enjoying their Friiiiday night. I am cool, just chilllin'. Watching King of the Hill and goofin' around online. I've got other plans in a little bit but it is Friday I ain't on no sccchhedule

You guys have to stop messing with sheep. You're scaring them.

JWBM, I wanna go work for you for a couple months. Trade room and board for an extra hand (haha no pun intended but its funny cause its true!)

Polarco, are yall making a hurricane run? I miss those (I'm a Corpus Christi girl). Anyway, yall and anyone that's got Irene to handle, yall be safe. I can't say I'm glad I'm not yall, I love bad weather and unplanned stuff. It's a rush. Shorts <--- freak

If anyone needs anything, holler. Most I can do is say a little prayer, least I can do is what I can with my own abilities.

Have a good night.

Where's Cincy? I miss my hairy bikini buddy Madhat, hope you're ok. You seemed a bit tense this week, I hoped you drinked or ____ed it off , Sorry yall, I was just really crass.

Be good DTR team. I like yall

 

You're lucky. Yer gonna miss all this wonderful weather

 

What's a hurrican run?

I don't mind bad weather either. If I have to go out in it to tie something down, oh well. I've gotten my jeans washed a few times. . . .

I think we're batten down pretty good. . . Just worrying about Polaraco and my neighbors tree.

 

Our hurricane run consisted of packing up for a road trip (clothes and a cooler) and hauling butt out of town to San Antonio and setting up in a hotel somewhere. Just ride out the storm. Our house in CC We were far enough (19mls) that winds weren't the problem but we were in the flood area which is what usually caught us. Really we used it as an excuse to road trip out of town for a couple days, skip work or school, shop and goof around and watch the weather channel until we got back to the house to see how everything came out.

We rode out a couple storms too, nothing serious. Minor power glitches and high water but otherwise ok.

 

Ahhh

Nah Around here they have a Hurricane Shopping. Mine consisted of replacing my old sump pump because it was siezed and a box of roofing nails.

The rest was buttoning up my car tent and picking up all the parts I had in the yard for it.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Since a running back runs forward, why is he called a running back?

The coffee this morning is a lovely blend of aromatic urinal cakes and drano with a slight hint of arabica bean. Enjoy.

 

After he runs you over, he's now running on your back. Hence running back

 

That makes sense!

 

Morning furball.. Get any beauty sleep?

 

Does it LOOK like I got any?

 

I dont know I cant see you through the computer screen.. Apple hasn't come out with that technology.

 

Jeez, I have that. I thought everyone did. I see the boil on your shoulder is still festering. Oh, wait... that's just your head. Sorry.
