This Ain't no good
« on: August 23, 2011, 02:57:22 PM »
This can't be good - I live in southeast NC and got a hurricane coming and just felt the Virginia earthquake. What's next the fab shop where our car is getting a roll cage upgrade burns to the ground?

Careful what you say.  I also am watching the storm track, felt the earth move and to top it off the weed eater picked up a rock and threw it through the patio door glass.  I think it's time for some cold ones.

    I put a rock from a weed eater through the back window of my wife's car last year.But today was better In preparation for the rain that is coming I cleaned the garage roof and regraded the yard some and made nice rain water runoff paths. While doing so I was pushing a wheel barrel. It stopped I did not. Now I have a broken rib. I heard it snap. I think it IS time for a cold one.

Charles, there may be nothing left to drink as it is just Wednesday for me and it keeps getting worse.  Walked out from work to start the wifes car 2004 Pontiac GTO.  Hhmm, the switch will not turn.  She brings the spare key, still no joy.  Played with it for a while and nothing.  Looks like the lock tumbler is bad.  Just imagine what they want for a new switch.  The key alone is $300.  I am not about to say what's next.

Those trimmers are hell. I put a rock thru a stained glass window last year and by the time they matched the glass and leaded all the glass back in I could have built a new race car.

Joe, I'm keeping the trimmer N/A.  Saving the juice for the mower.  Keep your head down as it looks like the storm is headed for Long Island.
