whadja do today?

[Zale]

Doc, you couldn't of said that better.

Slept in till 8 am today. Was startled as hell by how light it was and almost clobbered my 3 year old that snuck into bed with us last night. Made every one breakfast

Then I did some weed whacking. I was like a samurai in battle up until I caught a garter snake and the bastid ended up on me. The weed eater is laying somewhere on the creek bank still. I decided the zero turn was much safer so I mowed. Then I hooked up the TM to the bobcat and busted up some big rounds. After that I had to deal with family birthdays. Don't these people know that Sunday is my only day to get things done around the house and drink heavily!

I see the eggs and home fries but what the hell is the gray stuff?

 

[treebilly]

The pan I tossed everything in when done! Do you mean the sausage patties? Yeah not the best light and a cell phone pic to boot. I cooked everything on a cast iron griddle on my grill. I can stand by the grill early in the morning in my boxers, cooking breakfast, and sipping on a beer. Sunday's only of course. When I'm feeling ornery, I'll go to church with beer on my breath and make all the rightious upset. I just tell them that God still loves me and I'm forgiven.
And I lied. Those are my eggs. The rest of the family wanted scrambled

 

[Zale]

I'm sure God does still love you and you will be forgiven but your cholesterol will get you in the end.

 

[treebilly]

Got to eat good on my only day off and I'm pretty sure I burn enough calories to flush out the grease. Breakfast foods are my weakness. My wife keeps me eating healthy the rest of the time.

Hope I'm remembering this right. How's retirement treating you?

 

[tree MDS]

Are you a graduate of the Murph Felling Institute?

We'll know for sure if a tailgate sharpening episode comes along.

I was listening to the radio in the truck the other day. The guy was talking about misusing the IA teacher's file, and saying how this giant hand would come down outta nowhere and grapple his hand in mid backdrag. Lol. I had to chuckle at that one thinking of old murph. Some funny stuff right there.

Not to bad but I'm only semi-retired. I still climb for myself while I'm taking classes. If everything goes according to plan, I should be on the ground permanently in another year.

Zapped this pine today, then "rescued" a cat up a tree. (successfully - the cat survived, but it's incredible how they resist being yanked off a limb). The appreciative morbidly obese owner hears my truck start, and the starter / flywheel noise is kinda nasty....tells me he is a licensed GM mechanic, and I need a starter shim, and he has a box of these shims, and it's only a ten minute job (see where this is going?)...

So, 45 minutes later, with the front of my truck jacked up in his dirt driveway, he tells me he thought my truck was a V8 (it's not, duh) and he doesn't have a shim. Bingo. And apparently that's how you score a free cat retrieval.

 

[JeffGu]

Probably wasn't even his cat...

 

[Pelorus]

His wife and little kids were also there.
During the time he was screwing around with my truck, he managed to smoke 4 cigarettes (my daughter was counting), and drink a can of Pepsi, a carton of chocolate milk, and a Coors Light. All the while telling me about repairing Audis and Benz's.
We couldn't get outta there quick enough...I was worried he was gonna die under my truck, and with those kids standing there, I'd have to do CPR on the brute.

 

[JeffGu]

Well, you see? You upset the poor cat's attempts to commit suicide, obviously.

 

[13TreeWorks]

Did you charge him for the hour he wasted ?? Or maybe that was his evil plan all along ....." after he rescues my cat I'll just annoy him with my retard skills so he forgets to charge me for the cat retrieval "

 

[Pelorus]

Just how does one go about trying to collect coin from a family of hicks with a brood of small kids living in squalor in a rented shack?
A pro bono cultural experience...
Just wish in hindsight that I had escaped as soon as the damn cat was reunited with it's loving family.

 

[Zale]

Sometimes it's better to just let it go. You did a good deed.

 

[13TreeWorks]

Hummm ...... pro-bono you say...... I generaly try to avoid any of that.... As far as collecting coin I think they frown on waterboarding outside of 3rd world countries I'll think on that for a bit

 

[ksvanbrunt]

Airknife all day. 15 root crown ex's and a soil decompaction on a catalpa. That's my story

 

[Zale]

Heat index of 107 degrees today. The nice thing about working for myself while I take classes is that I can say "Phuket, I'm going home". That's a beautiful thing.

 

[acer-kid]

Sat on my couch, in my underwear with a bag of ice on my nuts, eating lucky charms. Too hot today. As mentioned above.. "phuket"

 

[JeffGu]

All day long... at least it only got up to 85* F today...
