How'd it go today?

[SkwerI]

Water won't hurt cash. Next time tuck it in your swim shorts.

 

[Nutball]

Bad idea if the swim shorts got lost

 

[SkwerI]

WTF? When was the last time you ever saw somebody lose their swim suit at a water park? Yeah, we all dream of the hot chick losing hers, but I don't think Jim is in any danger of losing his.

 

[Stumpshot]

We traveled 230 miles to get it.

Did not want to leave cash in pickup while we went to the water park.

230 miles -- Jim, isn't that just past the other side of your property?

A water park? In December? "North Central Montana, bloody cold!"

 

[squisher]

$900. I'm guessing the moto was a tad more than that? If not, hell of a deal!

 

[FireFighterZero]

I got a good deal on the bike, but yes, it was more than 900.


Not sure why the kid only took 900.

I would have pilfered it all and went to Vegas.

 

[Raj]

Hope you get the money replaced.

 

[squisher]

Maybe hoping you wouldn't notice. Ya know only $900 short maybe you miscounted. Hope the hotel sets it square.

 

[Burnham]

Indeed. I'm with Mick, the hotel office safe ought to be a sure thing. And also agree that the hotel has to make it right...otherwise they are screwed.

Job 1). Raised the canopy on 6 pin oaks, out in the country about 20 minutes away.
Job 2). I cut down a small cherry, raised the canopy on a silver maple and pin oak (+ lower deadwood) and did a reduction/driveway clearance trim on a mulberry while the climber deadwooded 2 pin oaks out back.
Job 3). Gussied up a rental property on a pretty prime corner house, well trafficked on the busiest street in town. Basically leaving no tree untouched. Trimming up crab apples and red buds, climber climbed 2 silver maples, a pin oak & a sycamore for some basic lower deadwood and cleanup, light canopy raising. Other climber hit an ash in the back, deadwooding and thinning.

Overall, a fairly light duty day, done before dark, ready for family time..

I need to get some! Haven't had any yet this season!

 

[MasterBlaster]

I'm settling for whiskey and marijuana!!!

 

[Bodean]

10 years old? How did you know you wanted one? or was it gifted to and you learned to love it?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Hell no! I was watching The Monkees and The Beatles and I wanted to ROCK!!!

I had my first garage band about a year later!

We sounded like SHIT!

Went over and had breakfast with my dad (80). Then went to his girlfriend's house (78 ) and had Christmas with her three adopted kids who all have spina bifida. They are all wheelchair bound and aged 35-44 but mentally they are still just kids. The two youngest still believe in Santa. She's cared for them their entire lives.

This afternoon I went over to my neighbor's house for dinner and Christmas with them and their kids and grand kids. We've become good friends since I moved here 3.5 years ago, just fantastic people.

Got home about 7pm and watched Diehard on Amazon, awesome Christmas flick. All in all I had a fantastic day. Best Christmas in quite a few years.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Good deal!

We had about the nicest Christmas ever as well.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Tis the season!
