        • I hope that is not true.
          I mean, the two of you being in close proximity? Well, that will most definitely bring the “sweet meteor of death” and a few dozen of its cousins down upon us.

          • I was thinking more like a cosmic induced cataclysmic realignment of all the planets and dislodge our moon to return to it’s parent’s origin….

  3. I hate when they lay a course of rocks and don’t place a couple of layers of landscape fabric underneath and damn weeds pop up everywhere! I would rather cement the whole yard, paint it green and call it good…

    • Doesn’t help for long. We have a rock area in back that was here already. It has think plastic sheet under the rock but enough debris gets in there to allow the weeds to sprout. I use Groundclear at almost full strength. (the premixed stuff is worthless)

      • I have the exact same problem and the exact same result with store bought weed killers and ground clear too.

        • Buy a bag of rock salt. Sprinkle liberally. The NW rains will dissolve the salt and kill whatever is trying to sprout in the rock garden. Over last winter, I put a couple 1/4″ size pieces on some dandelions that had sprouted last year between where the hot top and the slab of my condo meet. No dandelions this year.

      • A good candidate for my cementing comment, I really hate taken care of “landscaped” areas, they collect crap, weeds pop up, the damn plant grows too big for the area. Just concrete, paint it green and hose off the dust on occasion…

    • I saw that along the Intracoastal Waterway in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Not only did he have a green cement backyard, but in the very center, he built a pedestal upon which he placed a completely BRONZED power lawnmower!

    • I have to get up now about the same time I used to go to bed for the last ten years.
      I am hearing rumbles of my boss wanting me to go to Swing shift, which is why the hired me in the first place.
      This is causing great distress on my buddy’s part because since I came on, he is finally getting caught up with shit that has been needing done for months and years.

  6. My morning ritual changed last week. Got rid of the fags. I’m doing ok so far, but if someone handed me a twenty foot cigarette, I’d suck it down to the filter in two hits.

  8. Something like me @ 0430 every weekday, but mine’s inside at my table.
    Tomorrow it’ll be 0300; I have a job in Memphis all week, planning to load up & hit the road @ 0500.
