    "Let's get a Hinckley water machine", Mrs. Noodles says.

    "That's stupid" says I, "we have a filter in the refrigerator and I prefer it out of the tap anyway."

    "I. Want. A. Hinckley. Water. Machine", Mrs. Noodles says.

    The day it arrives it goes in the corner and I look at it and say "that thing looks like a flimsy piece of crap, I bet it doesn't make it a year before it leaks and ruins the floor."

    Well, I was wrong... It didn't make it two months... and we were hoping to list it in less than a month. I really really want to lay into her on this one but I'm going to put it in my back pocket since we're only a month out from deer season.

    So still no power at the house town is sold out of ice, beer is getting warm. The christy camp on the other side of the road has power, us heathens do not. Have 1 more tree to cut up and I will be sharpening a chainsaw chain by hand. There are few things I hate more than hand sharpening a chain.

    Yeah but that would add pretentious prick to my resume. I should not say that buying a yeti cooler does not make you a pretentious prick, when you put the yeti sticker on your truck that makes you a pretentious yeti owning prick.

Well, yesterday I took big pieces of the deck and laid them down and stacked the pressure treated on them since that Shiz is gold right now. It's 7-8 ft tall of a stack. She wants the peice it's all stacked on FML

    So the a clown from 3 doors down, him and his wife have deemed themselves the ones that judge shoreline activities on the lake. He came down to photograph the damage to the trees by kayak, more than likely so he can provide evidence that I cleared more trees that the storm damaged. Guess what a-hole the red cedars on the point are now all coming down, red cedars are an invasive specie in Minnesota, tree hugging dirt worshipper probably does not know this. Go ahead call it in and report. I will put a trail camera at the end of the driveway that you are not supposed to use because do did not apply for a permit to monitor your illegal activities.

    Use a swap cooler... Wrap them in a damp towell, put in an shaded area with a good breeze... Evaporation will cool the can/bottle.

    Just stick them in . A mesh bag, tie a line around the end and drop the bag in the lake at the end of your dock and tie off on deck.

    You know the 3rd time you get stung it no longer hurts it is almost therapeutic. got stung between the shoulder blades and my neck no longer hurts. I was cutting up a tree top that was wedged against the base, i read down tension missed the side tention I completed a cut from the underside and got ***** slapped by an 8" branch, rag dogged, de cleated hit me in the arm and slapped me to the ground. Damn you know that feeling when you fall and your guts hurt? that branch made my guts hurt.

    Looks like someone didn't lay out the pcs across the room to see what it would look like. Or their math didn't work out.


    It's never that easy where you can start with a full width pc.

    Than I stand corrected...our lakes must be cooler here in NY....given a choice between no ice and a cooler or dropping down into a lake.
