I was going to spray some primer today but the harder I had was outdated so had to go back down to Dryden and pick some up. I returned a gallon can and picked up two quart cans of paint instead and smaller cans of hardener so I don't waste as much anymore. Once a can of hardener is open it is only good for 2 weeks..

That was a good move. Don't need to be throwing money down the toilet.

The ride was probably fun.

The pears are only the size of a pea but there is a pear tree in the side yard that has pears that taste much better. I'll let you have one of those.

I hope that you get a decent road out of this?

I wish the city would fix some of our streets. My truck is a real truck and rides like one too. Patty calls it a boob shaker.

My brother-in-law had a 40 foot spruce tree on his front lawn that he wanted removed and one of his neighbors across the street said he would do it for $2000 , when he told me that I asked him if he could get hold of a chainsaw, which he did from another neighbor. I cut it down and landed the top of it right where I told him I would. His neighbor next to him was running around all in a panic telling me I was crazy...lol

Our streets in town here are a mess too. It's nice to have new pavement on the highway but I don't find it the smoothest, feels like it's rippled..

When I was a kid the city would seal coat the streets now they let them go to hell then replace them. That doesn't seem to me to be very cost effective.
