Sorry Char, but I have to ask you to get the fuck rid of that big ass dandelion; that will make the difference between a rinse or a full shower when the water law kicks in :)

That's how long you can expect the whiskey barrel planters to last.

I just tore down 2 that had rotted away from the rings. 1 I had planted a Japanese Red Maple in. The tree is beautiful but the barrel not so much.

Today was a total cluster fuck. I had to put tubes in the front tires on my riding mower, easy right? Yeah, if you're not a complete moron like I was, :dunce:. I grabbed the tubes i had on the shelf that I thought I bought a couple weeks ago for these tires. Fought for an hour trying to stuff the tube into the first, stiff as fuck, 20 year old, original tires. When that didn't work i popped one side of the tire off the rim, which made getting the tube in much easier. Then it took me 4 fucking hours to get the tire back on the rim. I managed to stuff the other tire, only ripping 2 knuckles open, in about an hour. After a few attempts go get them to seat and not losing the air valve, I looked at the boxes and realized they were the wrong size tubes. :wall::wall::wall: :dunce:. Another hour to get them out without fucking them up, go buy two of the right size, fight another hour to put them in, more bloody knuckles and tear the last one trying to get the last of it in:cuss::evil::cuss::evil::wall: :finger:. Throw the fucking tire across the garage while screaming profanities. :cuss::finger::cuss::finger: Go back to the store for another tube, come back and look for the tire, another half hour fighting, the ripped tube came out easily.... in pieces:evil:, more body knuckles and swearing. 9 fucking hours.

9.Fucking.Hours. :evil:

Got all set for getting train to the Dam at 8am tomorrow, been out for "a drink" because the weather is nice and I'll wind myself up over what is not needed for an overnight, all meds in order, plans in order inculding touristy stuff to keep her happy, only one night but it was free so I ain't complaining, gin will help me sleep until 5or 6am so enough coffee can be consumed, then off we go for a relaxing time getting weed, a new vape and Christ knows what else. I get the feeling I might need a truck to get everything home if she has her way.

Looking forward to it, in my condition just getting out of the house is a bit of a miracle....

I just went and did a charity job for some nice old lady that lives down by me. She bought an automatic chlorinator from us a few years ago and her grandson hooked it up wrong and she just always complained it never worked. So I finally went down there Thursday and saw what was wrong and what I needed and told her I'd be back today to fix it. So I did. Only took me 30 minutes. Good deed for the season accomplished.

I hope you told her she has a dipshit grandson who was trying to kill her for the inheritance.

The shut down a famous whiskey distillery down the road from me in 1989.

Moved to NY. Everybody and their brother got whiskey barrels when they moved.

Mine were all rotted out in 2016. Nice while they lasted though. I should have polyurethaned them maybe, but who thinks about 2016 in 1989?
