Firefighter fights

attempts to start fire -- futile. A firefighter who can't start a bonfire -- how funny!

My car

Gee. What's my Delta House name?

For now on, you will be called, "Denty"

Why? Oh, stupid question.

Neighbor today backed into my car and sheered off the mirror. It is now back into place, but the car has a couple of new dents -- not that they stand out from the others.

phone win

From phone woes to phone wins ... the phone is dry and supposedly works.  Let me hope that's the case.  I didn't opt for the insurance on the phone $5/month * 2 years = $120.  That's a lot for phone insurance.  Maybe next phone I'll get it.

Who wet my phone?

Oh, I did, in my haste and not well drying -- not drying my hands. It went into vibrate mood and I had to yank the battery. Later I found that's what they reccomend, really? I called the phone company, and since I didn't have insurance on the phone, I'm likely out if it doesn't work after drying. I don't have high hopes.

After talking with the rep, I was left with the impression ... (think of the joke of a person being bitten by a rattlesnake in a bad area), "What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said you're going to die" (said the "friend" not wishing to suck the poison out of the area)

Should I be labeled as a hazard?

Apparently my sister thinks so, with this odd magnet that was attached to my birthday card, some time ago.

I think I'll keep it!

Punk rock for the fun of it, much like the 70's-80's ad for Putt-Putt

Crazy Climber fixes screen

One screen in the garage needed replaced.  Putting in the new one was difficult.

 

1. Stand high to put screen into place, starting point 6'.

2. Then go behind the window, outside, stand on lower ground and fail.

3. Climb on fence and hang on to nothing and install screen

4.  Done -- luckily no broken bones

 

Theory is always easier than reality.

Miraculous shot

Monkeyjack was on his roof, washing out his gutters when he mentioned to me to "look out" when he dropped the hose.  The result was that the ladder fell and the hose, as he predicted, landed handle down -- spraying.  He guessed it would hit me, but instead hit my bag from grocery store and my jacket.  Nice shot, Jenson!

 

If he would have hit with the hose, not water, I could have deducted another full point from what he owes me, from my incidents of hitting him, once on the first day of honeymoon, before they left town.  I nearly gave him a concussion.

 

I doubt he'll match that one.

One gun to kill them all

well ... technically, a truckload of ammo and a gun and miraculous accuracy, luck, tactics, and determination, but if you hold your breath, I feel a man like you could do it!

I just looked at a criminal history (sex offenders) in the several zip codes making my city.

Shotguns, though leaving some chemical signature are relatively traceless, but only effective as close-quarter weapons with no potential for silencing. I did see the Extrme2 video, showcasing the very limited recoil autoshotgun, with 3/4 length barrel, 8-10 shot max load, farily lightweight (compared to other shotguns). At >$2,000, I'll wait on it, but lawyer season, courtesy of Dick v.p. has started. I like sex offender season should open soon too.

Frankly, putting them on a flotilla for navy shooting practice makes more sense and more quickly recycles the biomass, but that just won't happen.

Trampoline shake up

not as tasty as the fair lemon shake up, but just as acidic ... stomach acids coming to visit me ... yuck! I spent 20 mintues bouncing, but my stomach spent another 15 after that. No amount of water could console my stomach. Puppy poop abounding ... not helpful for the stomach either.

I was with Cramers and Amanda; puppies chewing, brawling, crawling -- Charlie wanting only to play his games -- I was 'ill' so limited.

To the mix, a pizza (which I should have opted not to order, in favor of bread sticks & cheese, with gooey dough. Anyway ... a good time, but I was a disspointment for the kids as I will tired from working landscaping, then little rest ... illness following. I hope next time I can be a real person and feel well ... do and run and play.

Okay, anyway ... on to our story: Spiders differ from insects in the following ways ...

shopping drones

garage sale this weekend -- yuck! I don't sell, don't buy, but am angry that I can't leave my place due to the gawkers who try to shop and drive at the same time. Yoikes! I'll just travel across the street, lines of vehicles along the street -- down to one vehicle traffic, and my kids will be as careless as I am, not looking expecting not to be killed.

When is it Sunday?

Working

Project: restore a house that has been neglected for many, many, many (ten some) years. I put in time today to help, as my father was down to just one arm. It was okay, thankfully few "bosses" dolling out orders. We left around 11, putting in 2.48 hours in, and saw 3 trees chain-sawed into firewood. The inside filled a third or more of a dumpster. What a wreck! The foundation was also terribly cracked and a 15 pound chunk came out of it. The church owns the house -- and they can have it!
