    Ok now I'm really paranoid (checking first 5 words again), so was wondering how much your average tarp weighs? I keep seeing posts about tarps and their refusal to play ball with the people manipulating them.

    Does anyone have a system they use or a link to a tarping video?

    Okay, give me a minute...................................................(scratchin' head, looking for calculator, looking for instructions to calculator, looking for "on" button, looking for the "x" button, no, no, the gozinta button, no, the "x" button, "error", what the hell you mean "error"?, ................ok, now I got it)

    $0.26 x 1500 x 52= too #### much to qualify for food stamps and not enough to make me quit my job flippin' burgers!

    Good catch Rick...a continuing sentence with a pause, can either be a ",", (comma) or a series of three dots (...), infers either a slight change of atatude (couldn't resist that one), or rather inflection, or a pause for the thought to sink in before continuing. But, with the pause, the sentence does continue, so no capitol on the next word.

    This is fun, takes me back to my college days when I was a substitute teacher at a local high school.

    Where is my red pencil, I want to draw circles and lines all over somebodies post!


    OK, there are some errors here...go for it!

    Our big tarp weighs about 150 lbs. I am currently weighing in at 126 lbs. So it is a challenge for me. The smaller tarps are around 80 lbs and I can handle them alright.

    I can stand the big tarp up and lift it up on my shoulders, I just can't lift it from my shoulders over my head.
     
    JustSonny Thanks this.
