The only possible answer to that is "I think I smell smoke in the garage", followed by a quick exit.

Just to mess with her head, once in a while you ought to just make the comment, "Honey, are you gaining weight"?

I dunno. I bet you're real attractive in a garter!

Morning.



Hey Twitch! Congrats on the Jeep, I think


JWBM, glad your pugs and lamps are doing ok. People don't think about those things until it's too late.

Bob, I think your pointy head poked my tire. The guys yesterday saw a nail but it fell out when they pulled the rim off the truck. No damage except for a superficial cut. Must have been a 7 week weak nail Get them muscles back!

To be clear, that opportunity is NOT extended to those of use with Y chromosomes!!

At this point any comment involving Shorts' shape and tires, rims or duallies is likely to involve violence against your person.

You can do what you want, I am just sayin'.
You're a wise man.


...tire and rim references??

As long as ya don't get a stroke its all good.
However, since I don't have earthquake insurance I would rather they go someplace else.

At IKEA you can buy lamps from Lapland.

Just a drive by. Still have not finished going through two months of mail.
Yeah, at the end of the day it's easier to not have your house banged up.

Rollercoasters reminds me, I want to go to Six Flags. I love Holiday in the Park.

Evening everyone. I was greeted by sad news again this holiday season. A very good friend of mine decided to check out this morning. The police were called to his home by a neighbor who reported hearing gunshots. Dave and his 96 year old mother were found dead. Nothing official yet but the "word" is murder/suicide. I'm going to miss him. I can't remember if I shared any of the pics from a project I did 2 or 3 years ago in his back yard. It turned out to be quite beautiful.

I am sorry. Sad news indeed. Was this the man you mentioned giving you a call a little while back? My condolences. Take care. If you need anything, holler.

You said people give me steel discounts. I could build a steel house. You DON'T get steel discounts. You had to build a wooden house!

I had totally left this slide by until one of you people pointed it out, now I almost feel obligated to comment.

Thanks Shorts. No, this is another friend but I've known him about as long. I checked on Phil last night and the news isn't good there either. They placed a feeding tube in his abdomen yesterday. His wife is thinking he'll be going for PT at another facility soon but I'll be really surprised if he doesn't go straight to a nursing home. Thanks for the offer!

Afternoon all. Rain and a lack of the correct permits have brought us to a stand stile once again. When we were told this is a tough town to work in we never knew how tough. Yesterday we had to dodge cars, trucks, guys selling fake jewelry and a pair of lot lizards. Yup, this is going to be a fun place. And then there was this little bit of info that I caught today.

C: Neither. Wait for sound again, then use shotgun to blow holes into ceiling just AHEAD of where the sound appears to be coming from. You will either kill whatever is up there or, if you're TOO far ahead of it, it will drop down into the living space, at which time you can visually aim at it and shoot it. When all sound stops, problem is solved.

You're welcome!

Sure tell you ain't no heeill beeeillliiieeee. Everyone knows how to do this. You use duct tape. You staple it down to the top of the ceiling joists, sticky side up. He is bound to hit one of them - - he will be held in place. You take big club up and beat that sucker silly and go beerry it in da yard. There now, wasn't that easy - - and cheap - - and you have the necessary things around the house to do it. Now, pour me a ph00 - - - PLEASE. .......

hmmm, durn door is sqeaking - - where is the WD40???

(They sure are cute though. My grandson has one as a pet. He has a runway around the ceiling of his room. When he is in bed, the silly thing will jump for him from across the room and land on his bed and cuddle on his pillow beside his face.)
