    You do realize your going to have to sleep right? You might find the truck buried in the white stuff when you awake for being a slacker and taking ten hours off to catch up with us. lol

    Put a one eighth inch hole in the side of that nozzle near the trigger. Also put a magazine on it and you have a nifty BB gun!

    You can share that heat you know. We will gladly share some of our days that are coming next week that are only going up to 55F for the high.
    ---------------------------
    With that I will read about what ever retorts you fine gentlemen come up with tomorrow. I am going to bed. Been a interesting day of lawn mowing today (earned $60 of $100 promised, the 40 wants me to mow, yet if the check isnt there, dont unload the mower until she remembers to pay you). Since mowing is done. Tomorrow I can do some more wrenching on the crankshaft. Laters all. Dont write too much. If it is more than three pages I will be skipping alot of the humor.
     
    Dave_in_AZ, dwells40 and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

    So far I plan on going back to the USA.. yes sir.... I wouldn't live in a place like that.... it can be ok for a while...
    Life in that rural area is super cheap... but it lacks in so many things...
