The Lunatic Fringe (Part 2)

[Aaron]

Haven't heard from John in a while. Think he melted with all this heat we are having?

Range of motion PT has been cancelled. I have full range so we're saving the rest of the approved visits for advanced PT after I'm allowed out of the sling (July 10 if healing ok).

That's awesome. I wish my PT was that aware of things. I ended up paying out of pocket for about a month worth of sessions. Totally worth it, but a little better planning on the front end could have saved me a bunch of $$$

LOL, Or a "Trump skis in jeans" sticker

lol, made those up for my buddy

Propane. Tape and extension cord to a clear plastic tube. Place one end of a tube/cord down the hole as far as possible and then seal the hole. Connect the other end of the tubing to the propane tank and turn on the gas for a short while. Then turn off the gas and pinch off the tubing. Remove the propane tank to a safe distance. Then simply plug the extension cord into a working outlet. Problem solved.

Gopher cannons or whatever they call those things on youtube are hilarious.

I really was surprised that he didn't post up the other day and gloat about the days starting to get shorter.

Hope all is well with him.

Yep, I read up on those and apparently it takes a pretty specific propane/air ration to get it right. The tool they sell that does that is way out of my price range too. I saw on yt some using oxy/acetylene torches to fill the tunnels and blow em up using those little piezo sparkers to ignite it. Other than near the septic fields, those would be fun and I'm sure get the wife laughing her ass off as I float the top couple feet of soil.

Its fridee.

[Ageless Stranger]

Yup. Got back from the a cruise yesterday. Had a good time. Never saw an answer about rex, but skimmed everything between there and here, and didn't see him post. Whats up with him?

he's taking a break from us

[creepycrawler]

I am ready for the fridee to be done.

[ASCTLC]

Easy to tell if it works. Dig the dirt out of an opening and they get right to plugging it in a short amount of time. I'll open the hole tonight and if it's plugged, I'll know it didn't work. I'll be at my wits frickin end if it didn't!!!!!!!

I'll quote myself here...I'm at my frickin wits end!! The damned thing survived that onslaught.

The grass is burning up. Wind and 90’s are a fatal combination. Treading water literally. The river is so low things are looking pretty grim. I hate grass. Winter cannot come soon enough. If we do not start getting some monsoonal flow the entire western slope is fawked.

Was having a bad morning. As usual I was running around like a chicken with it's head chopped off because everyone seemed like they had a problem that was going to cause the end of the world. And somehow I was the only one who was capable of coming up with answers. But no matter how hard I tried, it felt like I was starting more fires then I was putting out. My attitude was complete crap and getting worse by the minute. Then a good buddy of mine, the guy buying my current place, walked through the door. Amazing what a little good conversation with a great friend who shares your sense of humor can do to one's attitude and general demeanor.

Does the course have water rights to just pull from the river?

I don't care what the news people say, its hot, if I remember right it was like this in 98.... and if thats the case, July and August are going to suck balls

[Ageless Stranger]

Understandable. Thanks.

[Wulf]

Understandable. Thanks.

!!!!

[creepycrawler]

he's taking a break from us

And again, i will respectfully disagree with this statement.

[creepycrawler]

Neither his post before he left nor the PM he sent me have me any indication that he needed a break from "us" as in the people here but more that he was generally changing how he was going to spend free time.

Thank goodness for man-made A/C.

[Wulf]

The co-worker who have his notice today was talked down to by the VP of our department for "not giving them enough time" to remedy issues said co-workers and others have approached with over the last few months. As far as anyone knew nothing was in the works

[Wulf]

Keep dragging the feet, now that days are getting shorter, winter will be here before you know it and won't need it.

[creepycrawler]

Right!

A sad truth of life.

The ranch/course has rights yes. if it is not green when the owner gets here I will be out of a job.

[birddog59]

The days cannot get shorter fast enough.

Yeah, friends like that are great for staying sane

I do not agree with either of these suggestions.

[creepycrawler]

Have been texting Una. She said she would try to swing by in here tomorrow between therapy sessions. Hope so.

3 years ago, we had 87 inches of rain. 2 years ago, we had close to that and last year we had something like 65 inches of rain i think. This year, although we had a lot in early spring and although since then there has been a lot all around us, we have been missing out on a lot and its fairly dry although still lush and green but it wont stay that way much longer unless it starts hitting us again.

The 3 years before i moved here, the place was in a drought. It all goes in cycles and sadly, there is nothing we can do to stop or change it. I hope you get the needed rain soon.
