It could be. 
I hit a bird once with the truck, saw the feathers fly behind the truck. Figured the bird was long gone till I stopped for fuel. The girl I was dating walked around the front of the truck and started screaming. I walk around to the front to find the bird stuck in one of my tow hooks. I started laughing, along with some truck driver who was getting fuel. Laughing at the situation got me in trouble.
It would be awesome. Big parties, lots of food, lots of good drinks, and I think we'd have some kick *** trucks & houses. With all the different talents that each of us has, I don't think we'd all be able to take care of each other. Make our own subdivision with multi-acre lots and our own HOA rules...with rule #1 being you have to have at least one truck.
Hey now. I have no intentions of doing that, at least not until I'm over 1000 HP.

I sympathize with women a lot of times, I try really hard to understand their motivation behind things..but useless drama really irritates me. Your story reminds me of an old Seinfeld...George has this girlfriend, one of those whiny high-maintenance types. Anyway, she was griping at him about almost hitting a pigeon, so he swerves to miss the pigeons and hits a squirrel. She makes him take the squirrel to a vet, where he is forced to buy thousands of dollars worth of teeny tiny little tools so the vet can operate.

Well if someone wins the powerball, they better come up with something because this seems like a pretty cool arrangement...
The only problem is, I don't think any of us would ever be able to come to an agreement on where this ranch will be located.

OK Mark your mouse pointers were creepy. I have a feeling the little sucker will be dead before I go to bed.

I like the lift idea...heck I'm happy when there is a garage that is tall enough for my truck, doesn't take much to please me.
It will be tall enough Lisa!!
Speaking of the mouse, he proceeded to hang out in the kitchen and eat on a piece of dog food mattie managed to roll under the oven, and he did it right in front of me. The Victor traps are set, and I've made a cocktail. Now we wait...

Jacob, if this community is going to be self sufficient, we'll need to have crops of various types of vegetables and fruit...so we'll need your tractors. I think you and I can handle the farming tasks.
Thats creative. I looked at the various traps they have at the hardware store, there sure were a lot of options I can try if he somehow evades the latest trap attempt.
Anything is better than a bucket with a piece of bacon dangling from the handle. heheh.
In my first house I used to get mice from time to time. I had one, like yours, that kept evading the traps. Well i took my shop vac and put a blob of peanut butter on the kitchen floor, right in front of the hose. I sat ther for 2 hours or so. Finally the little bas*&rd came out and started eating the peanut butter. I plugged the vac in and he got sucked up into the hose. I later automated it, but it would wake me up at night..

Sure I'm fine with that. We also can devote some of the land to canola. Because you can make Biodiesel with canola oil.

seriously,,,, a DEEP garbage can, like a kitchen can, goodies to attract the mouse in the bottom but not full enough to allow them to climb or jump out... make sure its the only food source and strategically place it near a counter or table.... mouse jumps in to get the goods but cannot get back out. Best reuseable mouse trap I have at the shop.

They're far and few between. I think I let one get away once because I was married at the time. Keep in mind that Lisa is very well educated and shows it. You can bet your bippy she knows how to play us to the hilt.

I get hot when I sleep so if I have anything on I sweat to death. Also I must turn around a lot because I'll end up tying myself in a damn knot.

Hey I retire from the Corps in early 2014- so count me in after that. I love the weather out here, but damnit I'd leave to live in a cool commune like this! Fords only and NO foreign cars!! Hekk yeah! Count me in to fix just about anything that rolls, floats, or flies, and homes, except computers. See ya'll out there!!
Speaking of mouse killin- that same .20 cal Sheridan air rifle I got, I used to load it with real small gravel (used on my HO scale railroad) and I'd shoot mice with that. They would hide in the space between a cabinet and dish diplay thingee, because we had parrots on the top so the mice would climb up and steal bird food. I'd pull the unit away from the wall, and you'd see a mouse silowet (spelling) between the two pieces, and BLAM! I'd pull out a grey ball of fur that was just about mush LOL.....
