Cool Nebraska’s “April and the spring are here!” BS thread

Welcome to April, it’s finally getting warmer out! With that comes truck season, boating, BBQ’s, all the things that warm weather allows!

And with that said, let’s let the BS fly!!

Happy Tuesday! Sounds like a windy rainy possibly stormy day around here. Village board meeting should be a good one tonight after running out of water during the blizzard.

Good morning, everyone! Mowing season will soon be upon us... and likely with a vengeance, I fear.

Good morning all, Happy April 2! Hope no one got you yesterday for April fools day. A couple of guys here at work tried, but, been here too long for that to work. Rainy and breezy this morning.

Happy hump day. Woke up with a headache from all these trees doing their thing. Yearly deal for me. Got greeted at work with an outage from my friends at Windstream. After much yelling on the phone we finally got it resolved.

I may start polishing the pickup box when I get home tonight. We'll see how my head feels. I knocked off all the busted plastic trim holders Monday and gave it a wash.

Good morning guys, happy Thirsty Thursday! Had another builder come out and take info for the building. May end up going with these guys, they can do almost everything. We'll see what they come back with, price-wise.

Good morning, everyone! Every body around me seem to have taken a solemn oath to test my patience today already...except my kids, ironically enough. More coffee, please...

Happy Thursday!

Good deal on the builder Pat. That's the most important part.
Kenny I know the feeling. That seems to be how it is here all the time, except my tiny terrorist at home does too. I've spent more time yelling at vendors on the phone this week than I care to think about, just to get to the right group to fix it.
Rod you can send some of that temp to us.

Day 3 of the same dang headache. Comes and goes, the trees can stop any day. Windstream finally fixed their crap today as did IBM. Failed upgrades last night, I'm pretty sure we just work from crisis to crisis any more here.
What I didn't have on my Bingo card was a neighbor coming over last night and asking if she can be grandfathered in to have Goats at her house for 30 days to clean up her pasture.... Goats were not top of mind this week.
I also learned last night I can get on the ground and back up on my own now so progressing nicely, which means I have 3 vehicles that need oil changes and the 55 gallon drum on the side of the house is full....

Good morning all, happy Friday! TC, sucks about the allergies. My two stepsons and the wife suffer from those also. Bad time of year for you guys! Might get some rain here today, temps still in the 50's. Waiting for the warm-up to begin!

Good morning, all! Finally made it to Friday! You know, my wife has been in Arizona all week and flew back home last night. I think I'm seeing a pattern here. The whole week, the kids seem to behave just fine when I'm the only parent in the house. As soon as she was home with me they started in with their whiney-crying routine. I know why they pull that nonsense, just gotta figure out how to break them of it.

TC...Tell your neighbor that you'll agree to the goats on one condition: They're all the fainting goats so you can at least get some entertainment value out of it!

Fantastic Friday Nebraska, Pat, Lee, TC, Kenny and all the crew. Allergies season has been in full bloom for 2 weeks but with all the rain we have had the last 48 hours has curbed the effects some.

It is the Weekend Eve and almost time to start the Party. But don't overdo it and have a hangover tomorrow.
