No I had not Scott, and thank you. I forwarded it to my father whom is not speaking to me anymore. But that does not bother me a whole lot. He has really been little more than a sperm donor all of my life. I never even met him until I was 16, and then never again until I was 39. So you could not call being cut off by him a major loss in my life.

Well guys and gals, haven't been on as much as i want to, you know the workie thing. Now i,m hungry for Cris,s PB chocolate cheese cake, mmm lol. Lets see, my two oldest start school tomorrow, my district warehouse manager gave me two tickets to go see The Allman Bros and Bob Wier and Ratdog in Hershey, PA on Monday. We can't go because i got nobody to watch the boys and its a school nite so i gave them to my next door neighbor and his wife. I,m glad they took them, they need a good nite out together.

LOL, thank you for the kind gesture but i don't think it would be cheesecake anymore with that long of a ride.Is The Cheesecake Factory a chain store, i thought we had one around here or in Philly???? Sounds familiar.

You can do it Mark! Your health is your #1 most important asset, truly. I lost my dad back in 2007, very similar to the way Jeremy lost his...and like Jeremy reminded us, cancer is an awful, awful disease and cigarettes are a quick way to get there.

So...put those things away and never look back. Besides like others mentioned, I'd bet the monetary savings will shock you!

Well it looks like the rest of you have been busy on the OT this weekend. Lots of scary dads cleaning guns, cheesecake (that was an evil, evil, yummy picture you posted, Cris), and some beauty from Yellowstone via Dan cam..

I'd have to say that if I have daughters, I think I'll be the one sitting and cleaning my guns, I am definitely the protective one...

I got almost all of my projects done this past weekend. I'm pretty proud of myself...but I am SORE. Has anyone here ever weedwhacked until they were covered in green gew from head to toe?

Amazingly enough, cheesecake goes pretty doggone good with.....

Awesome vid Dan. When you said you had to back off and give 'em room, I figured you meant from 150 yards or so to 200 yards. That was incredible.

Go treat yourself to a massage. That outta help with the sore.

I also have run the trimmer until I was covered. I cleared out some brush on the edge of my yard a few years ago to open it up into a nice little wooded area, and has was covered in grass & wood clippings. Hopefully you had on long pants and long sleeves...makes cleanup a lot easier.

I cleaned up a rental property this spring and had that weed-wacker goo all over. Just disgusting. Is the house ready for market yet?

I didn't log in all weekend (my youngest kiddo had a football tournament in Castle Rock this weekend) and just amazed at all the posts. Just plain old fun stuff.

Never had a massage before...a professional one that is. Of course various men have made passing attempts at it, but alas those "massages" only last about a minute or two.

Yeah I was wearing long pants, but a tank top. It was in my hair, all over my arms, in my eyelashes, everywhere. I had just cleaned my house top to bottom..so clothes came off when I hit the door and straight to the shower I went! What a messy job! But worth it, everything looks pretty good.

Chris: I think so. I even went so far as to replace all of the outlet covers to shiny new ones. I have left no stone unturned! I have a bit more landscaping to tinker with, but I'm going to call my realtor this afternoon and tell him to get 'er rollin.

Also OT in the OT...today is the first day of the Democratic National Convention here in Denver, and man what a mess! People everywhere, limos of all kinds, roads blocked, highways are parking lots. Ugh!

Reminds me of the Brad Paisley song...you say a backrub means only a backrub, and you swat my hand when I try...honey, I'm still a guy.

Professional massages are pretty nice. I've had a couple for a sore back that I couldn't get to relax and was amazed how much it helped. Way better than ice/heat or OTC pain relievers.
