It's the only mattress for me, worth every penny. I did not spend 5k, mine was around $2500 with some memory foam pillows. We have had it for about 6-7 years.
We're getting the adjustable one... it just hit the market within the last months...

Well, if I spend 5k on it and it takes a crap after 2 years, I'm gonna get my money back or shove it up someones rear. Probably the OL's...

Afternooner, DTR. Just got back from cutting some wood for the fire pit, gonna go split it now.

I don't know what it is... a lot of it is rotted and burns quick, but some of it is semi petrified. That stuff burns forever, but will dull the crap out of a chain on a saw.

Mad, must be a trend going on here, we are all working the wood. I have been working the past two days getting fire wood together for my sister here in PA. Two trailer loads one yesterday one today. Stopped cutting today because the exhaust was falling off the 137 Husqvara saw, thats gonna cost me another thirty buck, you would have thought I was smart enough to lock tight it by now... Only the second muffler kit LOL.... Actually glad it did come apart got to the house and dumped the second load with the first... Man, I got alot of splitting to do now... But I was smart and talked to Grandpa, I got the hydralic split coming tomorrow morning... then off to splitting should be done by lunch... Then comes the stacking... The part I really hate...

Ok enough talk about the work I still got to do... Funny thing I take a vacation back home with the family and end up working harder then if I would have just stayed at work....

I am in the middle of upgrading to windows 7. Did my wifes laptop, no problems. Did my desktop---FAIL! What a disaster. Oh well, it keeps me off the streets. Merry Christmas, maybe Santa will repair it tonight.

No insult to me and I have met my share of old Miserable, Rude Canucks. I have met my share in any country and they do not have to be old to be rude...just to clarify. Sometimes it just seems like the same 'type' congregate together. I know a few snow birds here that go to Yuma...they do seem skeptical of everyone and everything...maybe its a generational thing?

Focus on the good ones and pray for the bad ones. Easy to say sometimes.

Off to do my S A N T A duties.

Merry Christmas DTR!

We had the wife's family over earlier for Christmas dinner, it went very well and alot of food got eaten. We went to my mom and dads later for Christmas dinner with them. My brother got in to town late so we stayed and visited for a while and got home about 0145. My brother got the wife and I a Blu-ray player, he said it was a combined Christmas gift, house warming gift, and late wedding present.

G'night DTR

Early morning Christmas wishes to you all. Just passing through, been busy here all day. Just finished loading pictures on a chip for an animated picture frame for my mother. I cut my load of wood but it's staying on the truck for weight in the snow. I'll take it to my sister in Ohio and if the weather's bad, I just load the bed with snow for the return run, it unloads it's self........in a couple days. We had our Christmas in B'ham today, Hunter gave us lots of laughs. He just turned 3 a couple months ago so this is the first "big" one. He was a mess for sure. Hurry up and eat pawpaw, we need to open presents!!! hahahahaha I hope each of you have a happy and fulfilling day today. Merry Christmas! (I think I just saw Santa leaving Scott a special present near........ah, in the toilet.)

Yeah, I got that 'present'. And I think it was YOU, not Santa! I don't think Santa eats at the Waffle House.



Morning everyone!

Does everyone know what day it is? That's RIGHT! It's the day y'all give the janitor presents!

It's Saturday, December 25th.

On this day in 1776 - Gen. George Washington and his troops crossed the Delaware River for a surprise attack against Hessian forces at Trenton, NJ.

1818 - "Silent Night" was performed for the first time, at the Church of St. Nikolaus in Oberndorff, Austria.

1868 - U.S. President Andrew Johnson granted an unconditional pardon to all persons involved in the Southern rebellion that resulted in the Civil War.

1896 - John Philip Sousa finally titled the melody "The Stars and Stripes Forever."

1914 - During World War I, British and German troops observed an unofficial truce and even playing football together on the Western Front. You'll never see that happen again. People take war WAY too seriously these days.

1939 - "A Christmas Carol," by Charles Dickens, was read on CBS radio for the first time.

1941 - Hong Kong surrendered to the Japanese.

1946 - W.C. Fields died at the age of 66.

1962 - The Department of Commerce Census Clock in Washington, DC, recorded the U.S. population on this day as 188,000,000.

1979 - The USSR invaded Afghanistan in a bid to halt civil war and protect USSR interests.

1991 - Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev went on television to announce his resignation as leader of a Communist superpower that had already gone out of existence.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
If the day before a holiday is called Christmas Eve, is the day after, Christmas Adam?

Special Christmas coffee is ready.. it's green! And the ph00 is just ph00.
