Yeah I'm rolling down Rodeo with a snark gun.

Got a nice little bruise from practicing gun defense over the last few days. The wife was pretty shocked when we woke up this morning.
 
Ok guys I have to share with yall something I think is pretty funny. I bought my home over a year ago. Nice older neighborhood with nice older folks, but there are a couple of neighbors I have to raise an eyebrow at. I'm sharing this cause I know some of you folks like off roading jeeps and stuff. One neighbor owns a couple of cobbled together jeep wranglers, they appear to be set up for offroading/mudding whatever. In the time I have lived here I have seen those jeeps move from their parking spaces for longer than 10 minutes 1 time. Otherwise here is something that happens quite often...

Step 1: Wear sleeveless shirt and board shorts
Step 2: Attempt to start backfiring and sputtering jeep
Step 3: After it FINALLY starts its time to rev the jeep up over and over for about 30+ minutes sometimes over the course of the day
Step 4: The jeep sounds like it doesnt have a muffler to make sure all the neighbors hear how awesome it is
Step 5: Turn the stereo up to max so that the busted speakers sound fantastic
Step 6: Blare Nickelback for a few awhile
Step 7: Break out the pressure washer and wash the jeep again and again cause it needs it yo!
Step 8: Invite over your sleeveless shirted board short wearing friends and repeat steps 1-7 standing around the open hood of the jeep
Step 9: Practically scream talking to each other over the revving, nickelback, and pressure washer about how awesome this all is
Step 10: Make sure to not drive the jeep

During the summer sometimes they drive a boat into the driveway, take off the shirts, add beer, and sit the boat all day. It is absolutely imperative that you do not take the boat to the lake, but use it like a fancy beer holding bench that plays more nickelback...

People are funny. LOL I am sure they all talk bad about the mohawked guy who is constantly cutting stuff with knives in his yard... :D
 
So, I got fired when I left for blade show. Got back in town on Tuesday, took Wednesday and spent it in bed, Thursday I worked a side job in Bloomington, and today I got a job.

I knew you liked them tighty-whities WW... You just need to get those "chocolate" stains out of them if you're going to take pictures!

That reminds me of many many years ago, the first time I saw a female coworker with her hair tied back in a scrunchie. Because I am not very smart, I said the first thing that came to my mind... "Is that a pair of panties wrapped up in your hair?"

She was not amused. :(

OK, that worked out well! Did you apply for the new job before Blade?

Nah, I called them this morning saying I was looking to see if they were hiring. The operator took my name and 5 minutes later the owner called me back saying he wants to take me to lunch Monday or Tuesday so we can discuss pay and expectations.

Is this why you are your own boss and have no coworkers?:D

It's nice to be wanted.
 
So, my father in law gives me a riding mower. Been sitting for years. Surprisingly, the tires hold air. Today, I changed the oil in it, put some gas in it, changed the spark plug, and installed a new battery. Wouldn't turn over at all. Messed and messed with the thing...nothing. Went ahead and mowed the yard with the push mower, and when I got done, I slapped myself in the head, remembering that I didn't depress the clutch, duh. So, I did, and it made noise, but didn't turn over. I was thinking maybe the starter was stuck, but, I took the battery back out, and charged it. Yep, wasn't charged all the way. So, I put it back in, and it turns over, yay. Took the air breather off, and noticed a mouse nest under the housing. Took the housing off, and cleaned it all out. Then I noticed the wire from the armature to the spark plug had been chewed by a mouse, but not before I blew a fuse. So, how was your day?

The good news is fuses are cheap. How are you at electrical?

My day has been fantastic so far, I just woke up.:D
 
thanks for the kind words, guys. I handed it over yesterday and then went to my fave leather shop to get some black dye, leather lace and lizard skins. The "brutey" is almost done but I won't post pics until the sheath is done.
