So I had to take a day off remodeling. A kid came to my driveway this morning offering to cut the grass for $100.

OK, I get the message. Now get the hell out of here.

So I weed wacked about an acre. 1.7 here total and everything going into adjacent woods was above my knees. Took from 9 to 5 with a few breaks to get high and stay hydrated in the sun.0519171727a.jpg This area is all on a grade so it's tough on the legs. Definitely got my exercise for the day.

Also: free to a good home, 1 huge dying oak tree. Fucker got infested 20 yrs. ago with gypsy moths. Never recovered, slowly been croaking branch by branch.

It is currently under attack daily by pileated wood peckers. And I still haven't got a good pic of them yet, tree is 200' from the house.

I'll have to have it cut soon. Every storm drops a frightenly big branch. A guy said he'd sack it for $300. I'll ask around if anyone wants the wood but it looks like it might not be good to burn, so I'll probably have to shell out the $300.

Always some fucking thing.

I have a little Havanese bitch that caught her second bird today. I'd lend her to you for a modest fee.

As for accomplishing, I fixed my brand spanking new GE dishwasher! It's fill funnel and nut went south, at 5 weeks, 20 bucks of plastic parts grr.

Fixed my superdrive (see neos' computer thread if you give a shit). I don't so I'm not reposting it here.

DM's sucky thread motivated me to vacuum my floor. He'll roast in hell for that one. I hate cleaning. My mother promised me I would never have to clean a house; she lied.

Where's the vacuum dammit.

Have fun and be careful and take some damn pics .


I never seen that lake, so it'd be cool to see the sites.
Thx dude.
The lake should be killer looking with the water up so high. I think it's pretty much at it's max, which means the water is up to the trees :hump:
I'll try my hardest to catch some fish. I'll try even harder to take pics when we do.
This is just a recon mission though. Prob gonna fish more in the big body of water down by the dam. We are camping next weekend kinda far away from the main body, but i figure if it's on fire down by the dam and it's not way up where we're camping, I'll know to cruise down for the fish.

It works the same way here. The deep water or the shallow but not both.
