So does that mean he's planting trees or cutting them down?

as bad things go-good to hear, old folks are my weakness.
deja vu on the firefighters and gets my eyes open and chest tight.
hope Texas gets the money and support it needs NOW! not wait for it in political tape.

Justwannabeme

after the free for all with 22 (asplund) tree cutters for power line company,
he is entering the dragon....maybe some of the fallen 90 footers planted limbs that maybe new trees, hehehehe

I am sure he wants some help but you only have a big box chain saw

kidding, missed you.

Yeah, that I am that dang unlucky. I am getting better at picking up on the fact, and there's a couple things about this girl that make me suspect it's possible, but nothing definitive.

There was a woman who also joined in on that ride. NRA has an award named after her, but it appears I already tossed that issue of American Rifleman.

Been there. By what her cousin tells me their grandfather was told about me she was about as 2-faced as they get.
There's a little more than 7 years between us. They are fun on pool nights, but I'd just be the creepy old guy if I said anything.
A friend's got 11 years on his girlfriend, but June is a bad month for him and we don't think she has any idea what he's capable of. He says when he left the army he had to sign a paper that says he was never there, and never did what he done, and what he done haunts him. We think he'll end up on the hook for child support, or wake up in full military mode and things will really go bad.
I have a couple Husqvarna 288XPs. But neither run right now.

Tell him to crank faster!

Send them up here. I'll make them run.

Evening all.

For the past 3 years we've been teaching CPR and telling people that the compressions should be to the beat of the old disco song 'Stayin' Alive' by the Beegee's. Well, being more of a metal fan, I didn't particularly care for the Beegee's even when they were popular. And now, most people who aren't old don't even know who they are, much less that old, dated song.

As a more fitting song for the times AND the job at hand, I offer the following as a replacement:

HORRORS!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is pure evil. How can anyone listen to that or attend one of their uuuhhhhh - - - hmmmmm - - - - CONCERTS???????????? Can we call it that??? Gosh, I wish I hadn't listened to that. .........

Now that you have ruined my night, guess I will go to bed and hope I can go to sleep without seeing or hearing that evil person. ..........

Got lots of work done today. Lanai is starting to come together. Doing the fussy stuff today setting up for the major laying of the pavers. Got most ot the bull nose around the pool and jaccuzzi in today. Baby is staying overnight in the shop tonight. I will miss her. New tires (two of them have 88,000 miles on them. Couldn't believe it.) New ball joints, shocks. Then going to replace the carrier bearing and Ujoints before we head for the keys. First work I have done other than one water pump since truck was new. Not bad.

Hey, shutting this thing down for the night. Sleep well. (if I can just forget that horrible video - - ...........)

Hey all.....still a sad day down here today. So much devastation. Hope everyone in here had a better day than the folks around here. News is still coming in and it's nothing more than saddening at best. We'll see how tomorrow fairs as it will then turn into a rescue only mission.

chaikwa

The same way you can listen to that stuff your generation calls music. It's all a matter of perspective and opinion.

Morning all.

C0ffee & ph00 are ready, willing and able.

Morning gang,

Site running horribly slow again this morning. Wonderful morning - - more police dead, one of the idiots dead - - what a mess. Interesting to wonder how these people come to our country, get scholarships to attend colleges none of us can afford to attend, what do they learn in these colleges, and then they decide to bomb and kill us. Where are we headed?

Grabbing a ph00 and get out of here. Ya'll have a good day. Pray for our country.

Howdy ya'll. Nice weather today. Full recovery mission on the way for our small community right up the road. J.P. said that of the victims found so far......he knew them all personally.

Glad to hear that one of the idiots in Boston is dead......hopefully the other isn't far behind. Grabbing some coffee and out the door to mow the grass.

Later.
