The crosswalk at the end of the street claims a mother with child in stroller virtually every year. The curse of having 6 bars in 7 blocks. On the other hand, theres so many of the locals staggering out on the street it's not safe to drive down 17th ave, as a result I take the residential route. The speed is slower but I get home faster with no new dents or blood stains.
Was thinking you were allergic to snow 77&79, guess those Russian trips got ya used to it. Try to stay married if your favorite word is, so, it don't work so I don't bother trying. Sure am glad I got this neighbor hood thinking normal, it's so quiet and everyone gets along with each other, almost utopia.
This retirement gig isn't as bad as it used to be, wish I would have had a chance to better plan it though. Another 3 months and the season would have ended on the cash up stroke. Funny thing is, there's no shortage of work and I get to turn down 90% of it. Have some pretty strict job site rules and with our economy right now, my rules are really profitable.
Let the kid grow up to be a Rancher, that way he'll be a rich cowboy. LOL

My bride will help me if I ask her. After 20 years, she's had plenty of wrench time, slinging engine blocks and aligning transmissions.
Keep your snow, I'd rather sweat my brows off than have a fan blowing on me.
We have three dogs and a cat. The cat is a badazz, the dogs give him a WIDE bearth. My bride does have a minpin i wanna make fajitas out of. Hate that dog.
I don't have the capability NOT to use dirty words when it comes to cell phone users in the car.

Here is her idea of fun. 
She liked to go to the JY till one time I gave here the option to push a wheel barrow with a NP-205 in it or wear the tool bag back pack....
I now hunt parts alone. 
But we all need some quite time, and not just in the shop.
Here is what she got me today for a surprise. I am proud of her and lucky!

Is she left handed?
Btw, she got you a left handed coffee cup cuz there is no reason to remind yourself that you're a Ford Truck Man. See, if you raise it to your mouth that side will face out for all the world to see.
Same thing with pens and pencils... printing on them will usually read "correctly" if it is held in your right hand as your write. That means it's a right handed pen/ or pencil. It'll be upside down if the pen/pencil is held in your left hand. .... am I the only one who notices these things?

She is normally right handed, right eye dominate, but due to an right eye/pupil injury when she was very young, splitting fire wood, I AM NOT KIDDING.
The injury resulted in reduced peripheral vision, so I had to teach her how to change her normal dominate eye shooting style and go with the lefty way of doing things.
She is a great pistol and rifle shot, but does not like the 12G kick, but loves the 410.
I am left handed so the cup will work, but I skate goofy foot, and do not even drink coffee....You do know some interesting facts, that is for sure.
You notice that in schools most chairs with a partial side desks are designed for right handed people, same for spiral note books.....

Well heck.. A helluva gal ...she musta known that was a left-handed cup just for you!
I'm a switch hitter at bat and push goofy-footed but skateboard "normal". 2x with the desks... there were a few desks in HS and college that were for lefties. Very few.

Don't you guy's just miss the days when the teacher would tie your left arm behind your back or whack you with the yard stick if she saw you use your left hand. Can print with either hand can't write with either one, can't throw with either hand also. Grampa was a lefty but could use both hands and passed on some abilities to me. Sure comes in handy being able to use both hands when working.

A gal pal came over and I changed brake pads and rotors on her 2012 Hyundai Sonata.. super easy.... payment was a 12-pack of Coronas. Since the garage was emptied, I paid some attention to the Lemans by giving it a dry wash, polished the wheels and bumpers, and cleaned the glass... I do not like polishing chrome and polished steel. It is soooo mundane.
