    For the most part, those kind of people are too lazy to go out in the woods to do that.

    we see it around here. They tear up public landings, gardens, tree plantings. overturn cemetery stones, and spray paint just about anything

    We had 92 for my daughters first game yesterday. Fortunately for the parents there was a big oak tree at the edge of the field. The front didn't come through till last night.

    We got a new mattress delivered yesterday for our guest room. I put the old mattress and box spring out for garbage pickup this evening. A trash picker took it within the hour. Given it was in very good shape. Probably had been slept on 100-200 nights in 20 years. But still the YUCK factor is beyond being gross.

    We need a barf smiley.

    When I was an enlisted soldier, the mattresses they had for us to sleep on was far beyond gross. We had clean sheets, but I don't think there was one in the barracks that didn't have big amber stains on it. :hair:

    I haven't had time to think practically the last too weeks as Ive been spending... well most of my free time trying to geth te painting done on the second floor.

    And we had BIG changes at work. As part of a lot of changes I got offered a new role that will shift me from remote managing large teams to a more technical/program managing role with a small but local staff and a local boss.
    So no more 18 hour flights a couple times a year and business meetings at ridiculous am/pm hours for me !!! !!!!! !!!!:thumbs::D:yes::cheers::dennis::banana::cool:

    Hahaha thanks guys....

    We are doing our best to teach them well... My son is definitely obsessed with tractors. and trucks and construction equipment and trains, and planes. Everything a 3yo boy likes. He has 3 or 4 tractor shirts, a book on John Deers and a video of classic tractors so he even knows what a Johnny Popper is. Our neighbor has a couple antique farmalls for hauling logs out of the woods and the kids flip when those start up. And after I got the bed cover on the pickup my son put one of his magnatiles on his toy dump truck to give it a bed cover :)

    My daughter OTOH has a massive horse obsession so we are taking her to a horse show during the town farm day this weekend and thinking about junior riding lessons. We are lucky there are at least 4 horse farms in town to choose from. (for those who think all of eastern mass is a giant suburb you would be surprised how many farms are within 10 minutes of my house)


    We joke that if we ever won powerball we'd buy a farm and my son would drive the tractors while my daughter would manage the horse barn!

    i love it!

    Just sitting here waiting to head into the hospital @ noon today for my eye surgery this afternoon. Clouding up here and supposed to rain late this afternoon. Got about 7 cord of Oak in 8' length sitting waiting to be processed. Thats on the back burner now for a couple of weeks until the eye heals up enough. Oh well.....getting old sucks.

    Riding lessons. Powerball is what you need. Horses can put a big drain on the checkbook real fast. My daughter must have 20 or 30 school show ribbons that cost $50 each. Let alone a lesson once a week, new boots, riding pants, a week at camp........

    @rottiman, if you can see the keyboard this afternoon, let us know how you're doing.
    Thoughts are with you.
