MMMmmmm.... Grits!!
Yesterday I laid about a ton of mulch in 3 hours at a McDonald's by myself, and I was wore out. We did 2 yards after that, I was still moving at madhat speed, but I was running on reserves. Heck, it was the first time in 7 months that I did any kind of labor all day like that. (I know, I'm weak. You can say it.)
YOU'D BETTER GET YOUR ACT SQUARED AWAY WITHIN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS MISTER!!! Those things ain't gonna fall off by themselves, or will they? Been meaning to ask ya too, how's the wrist been? Even now after my surgery (years ago) that wrist fatigues much faster than the other. Problem is it's the dominant hand. (NO READING INTO THAT FROM THE PEANUT GALLERY)
Oh and you can keep the $3 words.

I think I can handle a little wrenchin... if you would have seen what I did yesterday, you would be wore out just watching me... 
Wrist is fine, I finally ignored the pain and pushed through it, stopped babying it... things are good now.

There got it!Afternoon all,
Blades got postponed for a while. The chipper blades cannot be flame cut, have to be plasma cut. No biggie, just happen to have one of those.
However, it turns out they are 8% chrome and cant be welded with a mild steel, even LH, rod or MIG wire that we currently have. Gonna have to do a little research and round up some correct rods.
Still to wet to cut the jungle that is my yard, so...
Watching the Panthers and the Dolphins with the FIL and sucking down a nice cold Guinness.

Yeah, Guinness is just so good. I dont drink often, but when I do I like a real beer.
I love how its bitter but has more of a bitter malt taste not a bitter hops taste.
I think Ill have another...

Sounds like a diuretic is needed, have another beer, Dr. Trad said so.
And a good job you did!

Well they might work, stainless is technically at least 11% chrome and this stuff as far as I know is 8%. Did find some Lincoln rods for welding stainless to mild steel and other dissimilar metals, it may work. I have a buddy who is a metallurgist and will give him a call in the morning.

We spent some time bashing you anyway and cincy had ratlratl dig out the white helmet video so we could hear your evil laugh at the end.
Nice having Heidi checking back every once in awhile. Makes the rest of us clean up a little and keep our boots off the coffee table. olddog must be sleeping. It started raining here so I have spent the day doing absolutely nothing. Not even drinking beer just reading and sitting in front of the tube.
