We used to tell my dad on projects he be struggling with..... Better get a man out... That really pissed him off... I am not getting no god damn man out!!! He would say...
In his later years he told me it was time to paint the house. I asked him are you doing it??? Hell no Iam getting a man out!!!
Sure miss ya dad.....

Been screwed over so many times and have had to resort to putting contractors in jail...so I tend to just do it myself. For what the clowns out there want for their time, I can do it and buy all of the >right< tools to do it.....learn something...and still have money leftover. The only things I don't tackle are the heavy equipment jobs and the >heavy> jobs.

But....I'm gettin old and you can bet that I'll >soon< follow your dad's lead .....standing back and writing a check.

Gotta have the $$ first. LOL

Spent the evening on a date with a new garbage disposal. Don't ya love buying shit you had no plan to buy? Zip/Zing.... $250 right down the drain..... LOL. Thankfully I don't have to PAY someone to put this kinda stuff in. You just need to stand back for the times when I get PISSED and start throwing things....which, yes, will more than likely happen...'cus...well...it seems that >nothing< goes together easily....and you HAVE TO rack yer knuckles or smash yer finger/etc at least once or the job...well...just isn't complete. I've saved A LOT of cash and have learned a lot doing it all myself....but it comes with a hefty load of frustration at times. Oh boy. Oh joy! Crazy thing is....I just keep doin it.

Isn't home ownership fun? Haahhaa. Gosh.....what will happen today?:rolleyes: (and why do I own 3 houses?)

Time to call the shrink again....

I hear ya. My problem is I can't see. When you get bifocals or worse you can never get focused while doing close up work. Garbage disposal is a perfect example. It's always to dark and I can never get in position to see...have learned the braille.

Hit Deckers yesterday on a last minute trip. NO fish rising so had to resort to slinging lead. This place has come back nice since the fire. Have to cover a lot of water but when you find fish they are healthy and many over 20". Caught several 16" or a little better but on nice 22" male. Hard to take a pic with the cell phone by myself..

I was kinda like that before my dual cataract surgery. Still need glasses for the up and close stuff and for small print, but at least the floating cloud in the middle of my vision is gone. As an added bonus...the doctor told me the lenses will last 400 years or more. :D I do know this braille thing yer talking about though....

Fuckin disposal was whipping me (fookin shoulder) 'til I got smart and went and got the car jack and raised the little bitch into place. BAM. Done. Can only guess what a plumber woulda charged to do the same thing and how many weeks it woulda been before he coulda shown up to do the job. Dunno...always do it myself. LOL.

time will make it easier bro as i have told you before lost my first 25 yrs ago , miss her everyday but its part of life we must deal with for the ones we still have or care about us..... plus you will always have a angel looking down on you if you buy the religion stuff......

urbanfog · Sep 4, 2013

I am lucky Sky, sounds like you lost and angel and if thats the case, sorry brother, truly sorry. I cant imagine losing my child, I would go insane.

sky high · Sep 4, 2013

Time has made it more >familiar< soserthc.......but that doesn't translate to >easier<....it just brings up >yet another< set of words strung in a sentence that I cannot believe I'm hearing or saying. (and nope on buying into the religion stuff)

It's been more than crazy, urban. We're moving forward but there's a hollowness permeating everything that goes deeper than we could have ever imagined.

Double batch of butter nutsquash soup to share with friends. Will post in food thread.

urbanfog · Sep 5, 2013

bah, next kid home sick.....:( Got my new vaporizer :) picked up the arizer 4.0 for the balloon option and hopefully it will help with the wife. Will be testing it with her this weekend when kids are gone, but "dad" will test it today :D Already made a vape to bong connection , just doing the initial heat up to make sure no weird tastes. If anyone is interested I got it for 169.99 shipped in two days for the whole kit, minus the carry bag. From what I found, was a good price and like I said was more interested in the balloon option and no way the woman would approve the cost of a volcano....

today butchered 28 chickens in 2 hours, 2 people.. It took an additional 2 hours to set up and clean up processing room. I raised a special bread meat chicken, butchered the larger roosters and they looked spectacular, 6 lbs average dressed weight.I must say these were real easy to scald and pluck, clean as a whistle, 4 at a time in 10 seconds. The key to a good pluck is a good scald. Also the structure is amazing, nice color. This breed has white pigmentation, but the birds had a nice red color as well. will cure for 3 days in fridge 40 degrees then freeze. I really pride myself in the raising and processing aspect. I allow chickens to fully bleed out before removing head, and allow more bleed out time so there's no blood dripping for several minutes. Look at the usda approved and inspected chickens in store, notice the red liquid, yuk, ours clean and dry. These chickens also have few leg issues out of 130 I had 2 kinda gimpy so we processed them today. I lost 2 chicks first day or so, and had a pile up at week 6 due to rain, my fault, lost 15 but other than that they are really low on mortality. one lady never looses any out of 60 or so...Also the taste texture and quality are off the chart......
