Thoughts on the Weekend


  • Difference between a 13 year old girl and a 16 year old boy:  The 13 year old girl argued that $10 was too much to rake up a yard worth of leaves and run them through the Leaf Hog.  The 16 year old boy, three years ago, argued that he wanted $20 or more to do half the work.
  • Tallies for the weekend - 16 large bags of mulched up leaves for the garden beds, 4 large trash barrels of assorted other yard waste for pickup, 1 and 1/2 trash barrels of crap that needs to be hauled off.  Add to that 1 large bag of composted manure and a bale of peat moss hauled to the garden and mixed in.
  • Note to self - Measure the height of the area you want to put in a set of 7 foot steel shelves in the basement before purchasing them.  
  • Further note to self - Considering re-routing ductwork in the basement due to a desire to put in 7 foot shelves in a 6 and 1/2 foot space is a sign of mental illness.
  • Proud moment of the weekend - Girlie Bear goes over to the neighbor with the new baby and asks if the baby is taking a nap because she needs to run the leaf blower and lawn mower and doesn't want to wake the child.
  • Watching two 3 year olds play in a battery operated jeep and a sandbox could be material for an anthropological paper worthy of Jane Goodall.
  • Girlie Bear and Little Bear's mother is my ex-wife for a reason.
  • I need to do an inventory of my ammunition and get it organized.  I kept finding boxes of .22 this weekend that I vaguely remember buying.
  • Girlie Bear and I got drawn to hunt at Fort Knox again this year, but it's in a completely different area.  Going to have to do a bit of scouting.

That brought a tear to my eye. *sniff!*
