The Original Old Farts Club

[WeedHopper]

I hate fking fleas. I just had to bath my dog yesterday, and he hardly ever has fleas. This damn hot ass Texas weather and my idiot neighbors behind hasn't helped.

Good mornin' old farts. Had me a good Dad's Day. My 3 grandsons and my oldest boy and my daughter, who brought the 2 youngest boys as my youngest boy is in the Navy and his wife was working as a flight attendant for Delta.

Meh. It was a Brit kid. Probably a peacock taken from Iran. The throne bird.

42C in the shade. Hopefully the solar panels are balancing out the minisplit. I wonder what I can buy a 5KVA generator for. Just in case...

Took my brother to the shrink yesterday.
"He thinks he´s a hen."
"Oh dear, how long has this been going on ?"
"Maybe ten years or so."
"And you left it ´til now ??"
"Well, we needed the eggs."

Morning OFC. The heat is back. Just saw a fargin rabbit in the garden.

Busy day in the grow today. Cool down there. Scissor time again as well. Sometimes I wonder why I do this.....tough to get away.

Speaking of getting away.....there is a fishing trip on the horizon for me. Will have to time everything so I can be away for a couple of days. I am a slave to my grow.

But, in the mean time I am gonna suck down copious amounts of java to get my motor started.

Average temp around here this time of year is 80. Only gonna make it to 65 today. Global warming my azz. Makes me so mad, I'm gonna drink beer!

YIKESY-POO!!

Disastah in da garage. In the middle of the night, a huge, 12-foot, three-tier tool rack with just about everything imaginable in the way of hand tools, wires, heavy metal tape rolls, yada for about 300 pounds decided 20 years was long enough without a break.

C-R-A-S-H-I-T-T-Y BOOM/BANG/CRUNCH/tinkle

Herself started a quick protection spell while I grabbed the .44 Magnum from under my pillow. Fuzzy ran in the bedroom a got under the covers to pee.

OK... Lemme start over: The "C-R-A-S-H-I-T-T-Y BOOM/BANG/CRUNCH/tinkle" part is straight-arrow.

Investigation revealed the eek-eek. Somehow, the brand-new, semi-autonomous Camry I bought her was spared. By about two inches from an AXE.

I sit here as wet as a teenage girl at an Elvis show. Fargin garage is NOT A/C'd. Hadda go get a concrete drill and some concrete screws (them blue ones).

I've got a plan that would be something my brother-in-law Bill might come up with. But unlike Bill, this plan might actually work.

Ya cain't even get within three feet of the wall to drill because of the mountain of detritus. Sooo... risking my alabaster bod to the Nth degree, I ignored the Law of Gravy, and climbed shakily up Mount Husky to begin drilling six holes 8' above the floor.

Why not clean up first? 'Cause they ain't no place to put alla that stuff without puttin' it on the fargin wall -- which is why I built that huge rack 20 years ago in the second place.

The result is: I got the bare rack (partially) up. It needs some fixin', though. But I am as beat as an egg in an omelet recipe. My stamina at 80+ sucks like a reverse butterfly fart. (a fair comparison of world impact)

Sooo... Herself's car sits under the rubber tree (shade). The garage is littered with debris... and I am in here typing while recovering from an attack of the farts and total exhaustion. (*sigh*)

Pop those tap-cons in at a slight downward angle. Won't have to worry about shear as much and gravity will actually make the rack tighter to the wall. Lead anchors are also an idea.
Just be glad ya weren't standin' next to it when it decided to loose it's battle. Woulda hurt yer tootsies!

Got that right. Whatta fargin mess.

I had used fairly large lead inserts (not at an angle). This time, I drilled 4" into the concrete wall, and screwed the 5" cement screws in. Lotsa.

If it lasts another 20 years, I'll be over 100... Then I'll hire one of those TV garage-cleaning companies.

Can you borrow a have a heart live trap and relocate them

^^^^ well said. Sounds like your brother really needed help and should get it. Unfortunately there are lots out there no matter what skin color or walk of life they come from they just want the gov't to support them. I have no respect for that group. My tax dollars going to waste.

There was a guy on the news the other day complaining about unemployment. He had five kids and lost his job and wanted unemployment. Funny thing, in this area every business has "Help Wanted" signs. I am hearing about huge singing bonus....Why doesn't this father of 5 get off his lazy arize and go to work.

We have made it now that you can stay at home and do nothing but apply for entitlements and make a good living. Something fundamentally wrong with an able bodied man sitting at home when he could be working.

Yeah… but if I had a job making 80k and lost it… I’m tryna finda a job that’s equal pay or close… and that takes time. From my work history I’m considered “unemployable” bc the past make me unadaptable to the future. Imagine that. People make their choices. Like I said. It’s easy to judge. And thanks about my brother but he’s deceased… prob got the best deal of us all.
