@The Dirtbag Despite your casting me into hell, you know the compound awaits your arrival with plentiful beer, fried foods of indeterminate origin and a host of other local delights.....

Lift the pint glass: Clients that Give me money against my advice and tell me to bill them hourly for the extras. A client handed me a folded check today. I started the job on Saturday and they are purchasing materials.
I asked “What’s this for?”
Reply: “Food for the kids or something”
I opened the check later after rolling up-$2000
This after her husband told me “Yeah you talked to Eric (framing contractor) about cutting these plates to install the door. Bill me for that hourly (in addition to my current bid) or don’t do it. You should at least be making a living”. This guy is a timber faller and could work circles around me with a fused ankle, even though he is probably a decade older than I am. Nice

Here’s to you clients as I enjoy my Fat Tire New Belgium amber ale.

Oh, I want to see the lift kit. Tell The Wife I will make a trip as soon as financially possible just for that. To Hell with Dirty. I can see him any time.

@Buns
Le sigh. School starts August 19th around here in order to accommodate snow days, ice days, fog days, rain days, cloud days, murky days and the like. Once again, you know not of which you speak, hermano. I spit my mocha in your general direction………

@RomanEmperor Actually making good points, Barbara. I'm slightly less ashamed of you now. But 24 kids? Where did THAT come from

@ourcrookedtree Is this list of which you speak one in which I am toasted with accolades? Because that would genuinely rock!

Another sign you’ve been out of California too long? You think that school starts in August.

Go back to enjoying your grandee, you godless heathen!

I like the August thing also. You forgot to mention that everyone is pissed off after about 4 months of long hard work days, little rest and dealing with 24 kids. September plz come quickly!

You are on my list! I should have at least made this list instead of the meth heads that took the dryer (I am certainly much more entertaining)! Oh wait, I guess did not do my good deed for fame or fortune… I would do it again just so you could have the first two:)
