Hi Scott, careful where you step! (lotta horses around here!)

 

Holy smokes, I just thought of a new way to make millions! Just design a thing like a golf club to clear the road apples out of your way!

 

Daaannnggg it...I always forget to change over to the new month thread and when I do, there are already a ton of posts. In June there are already 76 frickin' posts. LOL I didn't feel like going through them all, so I'm sorry if I missed anything good. Recap anyone?

I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying June thus far.

Oh...and Hi!

 

Yes Scott...it's morning, but I heard the fricken' dogs barking all night!

 

Hi! Glad to see you made it.
Nothing worth recapping. Great month so far!

 

That would be cool! Bring it over when you invent it so I can use it to clean out my horses stall.

 

Good evening Nevada! Friday is near everyone enjoy.

 

Good Morning All!

Happy TGIF!

 

We hope it will stop blowing soon and give the brave guys battling this monster time to catch their collective breadth


TGIF....enjoy

 

Good morning FTE people!
Its Friday, thank goodness!
Hope everyone has a great day and wonderful weekend!

 

Mornin' all...I hope everyone has a great Friday and weekend.

Yesterday I ended up moving 1.46 tons (2,948 pounds or something like that) worth of gravel/rock from the driveway to the backyard to re-landscape for the wife as a surprise. Wasn't too good for the wrist. So, now my wrist is KILLING me today and my back is a bit sore. But she was happy when she noticed it was done and that made me happy, so it was well worth it. Plus, if we end up short saling the house to move to San Diego, every little improvement will help. That's why I've been doing a ton of improvements to the house as of late and trying to fix all the problems the ex left here. <eyes rolling="">(eyes rolling)

Anyway, below are a few pics in case anyone wanted to see what it looks like. I was stupid and forgot to take the before pics of just the dirt/weed fabric and the pile of rock/gravel in the driveway, but I think you get the idea. Basically I just laid a weed tarp/fabric down over the cement (i.e. the ground here in Vegas. LOL) and staked it in and then I kept bringing wheelbarrow loads full of gravel back to make little piles all over the tarp. (see the 3 pics from the cell phone, sorry they aren't that great) After that I then raked it out to try and make it as even as possible and then hosed it down to get the sand/dust/dirt off of the rock/gravel. It's no HGTV show project, but overall it didn't come out too bad. (Oh and I used my real point and shoot camera for the "final" pictures and not my cell phone, that's why they look much better. LOL)

Anyway, I hope everyone has an awesome day today! </eyes>

 

Goodmorning Everyone!
TGIF... Have a fun weekend.
Heading to Reno to pick up 4 free tickets to Octanefest that I won. SWEET!

 

free anything is good!

 

I don't think a free shot to the head would be good. :-o

 

Would be the last free thing you had!
