When I left a job today I forgot to put up the tailgate of the truck. WHile making a sharp left turn I heard the metal on metal CRUNCH of the tailgate being smashed against the jack post of the trailer. Now I need a new tailgate. Not a good way to start the week.

Ah, no big problem. I did it once before a few years back. A good friend of mine, Bill, is a custom autobody worker and was able to fix it the last time it happened. Beyond repair this time. He can get a new tailgate for about 75 bucks and paint it for a case of beer. Sounds like a good deal to me.

Good man. Not only did you do a good deed for someone but I'm sure you just brought a bunch of new work your way. I'm sure you also cut that other contractors "To Do List" way down.

he could find someone to stain the deck who takes longer That cracks me up.

I hate being too far from it too. I guess it's not too bad, about an hours drive. I love boating and scuba diving. Mostly shipwreck and lobster diving. When I lived in Japan I happened to date a dive instructor for quite some time.. Not only was she cute but she had access to all the dive shops equiptment including the boat. Did some cool dives on WWII aircraft. A little spooky but real cool,

That's too funny. I wish he keep his Liquid Gold outside. Last night I bought an "Invisable Fence" for Cody. He wears a special collar that will taser him if he gets too far away from the base unit.

Yeah Dan, we usually get hit pretty hard on the western side of the state. It really sucks getting up at 2am to start plowing. It was much worse before the baby was born and I had 22 residental accounts to take of. I've gotten rid of all of them accecpt for one small commercial parking lot and some friends' driveways. I miss the money (about 1000 dollars a storm) but I just couldn't sit in that truck for 15 hours plowing snow any longer.

That's Cody in the picture. My son Patrick and he are the best of friends. I keep telling Patrick he has to choose his friends better. Actually he's a good dog except when he takes a dump or whiz on the new hardwood floors.

I'm sure my little Jack Russell dog (Cody) was cloned. Cloned from an idiot.

I don't do decks too much but I do quite a bit of fences. I've found HD 80 to work great on stripping. Hope this helps.

53 thousand... for a dog? Maybe she cloned her money a few months ago to be able to spend 53k on a dog.

Guess it's too late to talk you out of it. Bahahaha, just kidding. I did the same thing about 9 years ago and never regretted it. Well, once in a while I guess I regret it. Congratulations!

What is OHV? I'm sure it's not Over Head Valves. :)

I bought another one, a "project car" and spent 2 years restoring it. Since then I gotten a few first place at the local car shows. It's at the shop right now getting a new exhuast system installed.

67 Impalla. Had over 200,000 miles when it went to the junkyard. My favorite when I was a kid was my 1975 Triumph Spitfire but a drunk driver took it away from me. Pretty nasty accident.

Anyone with young children knows the "Backpack" song from Go Diago, Go. Each time I put on my backpack chemical sprayer I get that stupid song in my head. I feel like an idiot.

Jeez, I'm glad I don't live in California.

Elsinore? Oh my, you're really dating yourself. My brother had one of those long ago.

Mexican Werewolf in Texas? Is it an illegal / undocumented werewolf or does he have his papers in order? Sounds like something I've got to watch. Nothing funnier than stupid science fiction.

I saw “Plan Nine From Outer Space” on TV a few days ago. It’s a movie from the 1950s that is universally regarded as the worst science fiction movie ever made. It didn’t disappoint me in the least. This is a “must see” movie if you want a good laugh.

Last week while washing a large house the owner kept offering me a Coke. I told her I had a cooler in the truck and I was all set. Well, she kept offering it and I finally said “yes” just to be polite. When I finished and went to get paid 575.00 dollars I was surprised to see the check for 574.25 dollars. When I questioned this she told me she had to deduct 75 cents for the Coke. As you probably guessed this was in a rather affluent neighborhood. Some people will never stop amazing me.

Hit it good with a surface cleaner the pump spray it with oxalic. Just finished one 30 minutes ago. Looks like new.

Because of the high cost of gasoline a lady decided to take the bus to go to the mall for shopping. While holding her new 5 week old baby in her arms and entering the bus, the bus driver says “Lady, that is the ugliest baby I ever saw.” She is somewhat speechless as she takes a seat on the bus. She tells the man she sat next to “I was just insulted by that driver.” “He can’t do that. Report him to the bus company.” the man said. “Go on up and get his driver’s ID number. I’ll hold your little puppy while you go.”

Some people are really nuts.

Yesterday was too nice of a day to powerwash so I called the customer and told him I was having some problems with my equipment. Then I hooked up the boat to the truck. Sure beats powerwashing!
