Go to an antique mall and buy some junk he will recall from yesteryear and reminisce with him.

I wouldn't go that far Mick. The trick is to not tell them they're not smart.

Funny thing is, Cheryl knows her way around construction and hard work. She and I could have moved that refrigerator ourselves. Unfortunately they damaged it on all sides so they need to get us a new one, which they agreed to of course. These two morons were weak and stupid - a very bad combination.

Bob, I know you're pissed but I thank you for the laughs...
Haha.....funny thing is I'm not. Cheryl was livid and tearing into those dudes. I actually felt sorry for them. Until I found out what they said. Then I just laughed and thought "Those boys are stupid". I've been laughing about it all day in fact. And it will all get sorted out. But Cheryl even told me she was shocked at how calmly I took the whole thing.

Bob..... that can be frustrating as hell. Hope you can get this all figured out and installed. Do you need any help replacing those steps???

Russ, hope you didn't get too cold on your return ride!!!
Cheryl is taking Tanya's wipeout well. It was touch and go for a while though. I had to talk her off the ledge.

Truth is Tanya and Cheryl should talk. Cheryl damn near died from a wipeout, but she stuck with it. She is the queen of perseverance. Learning to ride can be tough and certainly discouraging. Support from a soul sister could help Tanya.

These two dumbasses tried that. They weren't strong enough to hold the damn thing up. They had to go up 4 concrete steps to get to the front door and the lead guy fell backwards going up the steps and damn near got his legs crushed. That's when I told them they need to stop and think things through before one of them gets hurt. Then I told them they suck at this and really need to rethink their vocation. I wasn't trying to be an ******* but I'm sure that's how it came off.

Evenin Woods! 3 day weekend ahead after a busy & crazy week.

I ended up buying a 2012 F150 to replace my 99 F150. After some deep thoughts and more than a few vulgarities I decided it'd be a better investment to buy something newer. The 2012 has the Platinum package & Twin Turbo EcoBoost V6. It's only 2WD but if the snow is bad enough to need it, we have the Expedition, which is 4WD. Well, W'll have the Expedition once it's repaired.

I need a bike mechanic. We (Santa) got the kids bikes for Christmas & assembled them but Benjamin's has a rear hand brake. The cable isn't adjusting correctly & that boy NEEDS brakes. Note sure what to try...we used Youtube as a guide but it didn't work. We have a friend that is going to come take a look tomorrow. Had to order a new fender for Nataly's bike. When we loaded them after assembly the back end wasn't all the way in & Beth slammed the gate & dented the fender. That won't be in til Saturday which puts a huge wrench in the gears as the kids can't see them until Christmas morning.

Damn, I really do bitch a lot when I drop updates.
"You make more noise than a two dollar radio." SFC Strader to some pvt that was running his mouth a lot.
I'll try to drop in more. 9 of 12 people on my team are on vacation. I am not one of the 9. So long as nothing goes off the rails, the next 2 weeks should be calm.
