It might sell but remember what happened when those nude photo's of him "accidentaly" got leaked to the internet. The internet sent them back.
However, they did keep posting the pictures of his LEGGs.

Evenin' all!

Self medicating tonight..... Shiner Bock and motrin. Works better than the Oxycodone the Doc gave me and less side effects.

Greetings. I invented a new game at work.
Its called HALL BALL. A very long narrow hallway and a soccer ball with three players. One in the middle. the painful part of this game is the jagged stucco finish on the walls. I was not the oldest one playing this game tonight and I am 47.

Lary the LEGG you are supposed to put the pill in some food so that you can swallow it and assure that it gets carried out to the blockage correctly.

Got all the snow off the cover for the patio...again! 30 cm of snow coming...again!

Have a good evening folks.

Hey, YOU are the one that wants to live there, stop complainin'!~






Morning.

Today is Monday, March 21st.

On this day in 1788 - Almost the entire city of New Orleans, LA, was destroyed by fire. 856 buildings were destroyed.

1790 - Thomas Jefferson reported to U.S. President George Washington as the new secretary of state.

1857 - An earthquake hit Tokyo killing about 107,000.

1907 - The U.S. Marines landed in Honduras to protect American interests in the war with Nicaragua.

1918 - During World War I, the Germans launched the Somme Offensive.

1928 - U.S. President Calvin Coolidge gave the Congressional Medal of Honor to Charles Lindbergh for his first trans-Atlantic flight.

1945 - During World War II, Allied bombers began four days of raids over Germany.

1963 - Alcatraz Island, the federal penitentiary in San Francisco Bay, CA, closed.

1965 - More than 3,000 civil rights demonstrators led by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. began a march from Selma to Montgomery, AL.

1971 - Two U.S. platoons in Vietnam refused their orders to advance.

1980 - On the TV show "Dallas", J.R. Ewing was shot.

1982 - The United States, U.K. and other Western countries condemned the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan.

1984 - A Soviet submarine crashed into the USS Kitty Hawk off the coast of Japan.

1991 - 27 people were lost at sea when two U.S. Navy anti-submarine planes collided.

2000 - The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had overstepped its regulatory authority when it attempted to restrict the marketing of cigarettes to youngsters.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Why is a woman in a suit a 'business person' but a man in a dress is a 'transvestite'? (Or Scotty)

Coffee is on.

Called another guy in Saturday and he gave me a pill that transmits a signal to a receiver so they can find it the easy way, provided it makes it to the tank........

OK 6 hours later the pill finally makes it through me and into the sewer system.....Geesh he could have told me I could simply flush it down the toilet..I almost DROWNED with all the water I had to drink to get that thing down...it was HUGE! Anyway...sure enough we find the tank just about where I said it was and it turns out the line was collapsed because they used thin wall plastic pipe and it was TOO deep, all that dirt on top just crushed it over the years.

Tomorrow we replace all the pipe to the tank and I can then go about my business lounging around the Pool (cess pool) with a 6 pack this Summer

Life...you just have to love all the little twists and turns it throws at ya from time to time...It is God's way of reminding you that you are STILL alive

Have a SAFE week Folks!
Leave it to you to do things the hard way. You know what's funny? They call that thin wall stuff sewer and drain pipe however, it doesn't work well for the sewer application. Down here you can only use schedule 40 PVC and, in my county, you cannot go more than 3 feet from the house with it. After that you have to change to ductile iron or concrete core pipe.

Interesting how different areas of the country have different regulations; in most New England states you have to use ductile to go thru the foundation wall, then ONLY sch 40 to the tank, distance doesn't matter as long as you can maintain the required pitch. NH wants a level leach bed while Mass wants it pitched away from the D-box. NH requires Geomat over the bed before the backfill while Mass requires hay.

All schedule 40 here at my place. Through the foundation to the tank and then the leach field. Tree routes grow through ductile iron blocking them up completely.

The only dress I have is for my nurses outfit when I visit Top.

The sky is heavy [I weighed it], no wind...going to get dumped on...again!
I can whine if I want to. I just need some cheese to go with the whine.

There was an accident in the Phoo00 Pot. I thought about rinsing it out.



Hall Ball was discovered when a soccer ball from the gym downstairs hit me in the back of the head. It turned out to be a great cardio game that lasted 45 minutes. No public sector group would think of such an energetic and fun game.
The guy in the middle can either take some direct hits or scrape off the walls a few times. No rules, just kick the ball at your friends lots.

Hey Lary, next time just flush the cat, you can hear it howl in the tank and it swabs the pipes on the way.
I still have something weird going on with the septic and the well also. The septic keeps getting pressurized and the well water has sulfur gas in it. Really stinks coming out of the water heater. We have to use bottled water.

For a faster game, swap the Soccer ball for some Steel Tip Darts .......This will add increased motivation to the man in the middle by about 65% and the general sound level by 80%

Good idea Older Twin. Start with the Darts then use/finish with the soccer ball. LOL
Darts were a favorite for our basement hide and seek games. Still have the scar from the one that landed/embedded into my collar bone.

I know mom and dads well will get that sulfur smell sometimes. It usually does that when the filter at the water softener is plugged up. When it does that the water stinks.


Afternoon DTR.

Not a bad day here, hit 65* today and the sun came out for a while. Gonna rain tomorrow though. Got only a partial day of work tomorrow, the last part of the day I have to go to some training for my dept at work.
