Didn't see that but a lot of folks ought to look at Wayne Pacelle's compensation package.

"Best Friends" is no better.

I'm jaded and real sick of people who prey on the emotions of those who donate in order to line their pockets.
It seems like everyone at the top of these organizations has a political agenda.
If anyone does just a little digging the hypocrisy, extremism and graft are pretty apparent.

(please don't get me wrong, any help is welcome)

 

I feel the same way..

I would like to know what they do to earn that much money at an animal shelter, when they have volunteers like yourself donating there time and effort.. I don't think you will see them cleaning out the stalls..

 

In fact that's one of the things I enjoy doing, along with laundry, bathing, trash and picking up poop that other volunteers won't be bothered with.

'F' the Prima Donnas.
I'm there for the homeless animals, not a coffee social with bored and lonely middle aged women who are looking for redemption and a false sense of reward for their "selflessness".

Hopefully I make a difference...

 

Good night everyone.

I'll be back in tomorrow evening.

 

Good night Dave,

Thanks for everything you do!

 

So how often do you get hit on by the lonely middle aged women?

 

I don't even go there..

Simple rule:
No married women, no customers and never and any animal crazies.

(I do get hit on, though I'm a little old for the cougars)

 

Good Night Dave TTYL

 

Gee I never knew there were those benefits to volunteering..

 

I suppose there are but I've already got my hands full, as Tom (TJC Transport) can attest.

 

Pete,

Would you still be interested in doing some grading and drainage over in Northford before mowing season starts?

 

I don't even want to comment on that sentence...

 

I'm not the man in charge, but I might could put you in contact with the one that is.

Just keep in mind that the man in charge has a very dumb sense of humor and is gimping along on crutches at the moment.

If it's minor work like shovel, wheelbarrow then I'm all over that because me personally I need cash. Gauges + exhaust = 1k plus 7k mower = WAY more money than I have.

Where in Northford are we talkin about? (Street name?)

I'll talk with dad to see if he'd be interested in possibly taking on any work like that. He is kind of a drainage specialist. We do more drainage work than anything else.

One thing I forgot before that I'll edit in now:

Drainage is never a sure-fire thing. Don't ever let anyone tell you it is. You can encourage water to do certain things, but water is a very interesting thing. You can do everything right and it still might find a way around what you did. Don't ever let anyone tell you something regarding water is a sure-fire thing.

 

Pete,
PM sent..
Oh, the truth in that!!
I've been building nearly 30 years, I've seen what water can do...

I think since there's a ditch on either side of his property what he probably needs is:

1) Cut the driveway so it pitches OUT away from his garage.
2) French or curtain drain across the back of his house. Maybe 60' of perf pipe, drain board, trap rock and silt fabric.
Lead to daylight at ditches on either side of property.
(I think too much to reach his footing, but anything to relive some of the hydrostatic pressure on the uphill side)
3) Cut maybe 18-24"s out 30-40' from the house to create a perpendicular swale and use that topsoil to regrade *away* from the house.
4) Power rake and seed.

It's not a small job and with the pasture and springs up behind his house, meltwater has been an issue ever since he moved in.

 

I don't even want to share the webcam with anyone else, but as they say "pics or it didn't happen"
