Well my dad should have comprimised with the neighbor, now he gets to deal with her insurance company. Oh well I warned him. I called a local landscaping company and was quoted $75-400 depending on the size and variety of arborvitae.

BC? Some of us yankees don't get all the Southern fix ya up potions in store's up here. I took an Aleve with my dinner and thankfully the headache went away before bedtime. Yeah a car can run without a turbo at least the older cars could I don't know about newer ones with all the software controlling everything. Found out yesterday the oil line leak is another common issue with Chevy Cruze's with the 1.4l engine. Maybe he should have gotten a n.a. motored car.

Relatives No can't stand to drink orange soda. Used to drink grape soda when I was a kid though

The school has a strict dress code policy. Usually the students wear suit and ties Monday-Thursday. T shirts and hoodies I presume are not allowed on Fridays even though it's casual day. Had a long day...first the oil line going to the turbo on my dad's car sprung a leak. Got too listen to his "woe is me I don't know what to do" schpiel. Then tried to mediate deal with him and the neighbor but that is going swimmingly. This stems back from when my dad's tree fell in the neighbors yard and destroyed one if her arborvitae bushes. She wants it replaced but my cheapskate dad doesn't want to pay for it. Got a pounding headache from dealing with all that BS today.

Don't get complacent after you get the vaccine, you still can be a carrier and infect others. One lady I do odd-jobs for recently went out to eat with old co workers since she got both shots if the pfizer vaccine. Turns out one if the co workers had covid and didn't show signs till the day after. Now she and everyone else in the group has to quarantine for the next 7-10 days. Her Dr also told her she might experience mild covid symptoms but should be fine though she does have underlying health conditions so hopefully the vaccine will help her body's immune system kick covid's butt. Be vigilant, wear your masks and social distance at least until everyone who wants the vaccine gets it.

Minivan (interesting how the station wagon was the family hauler in the 60's and 70's then the minivans in the 80's and 90's and now the suv's have usurped that role). I remember me and my cousin would sit in the way back backward facing seat of my aunt's Ford wagon and we'd make funny faces at the drivers behind us .

Yeah this whole thing is getting out of hand . Hell I read an article last week that stated caucasians getting tanned is "offensive" and now has a name 'blackfishing' . So what are caucasians supposed to cover themselves head to toe while outside now so as to not offend anybody. Its funny extreme liberals used to make a stink about churches banning and burning books, now look who's doing it. On a similar note a local christian school is making headlines for sticking to their dress code and not allowing students wear BLM shirts to school. On Friday's they have casual day but that doesn't mean wear whatever you want. The local news stations have made this the main story for a week now yet never states that the shirts are not allowed because of the dress code, and have nothing to do with racism. I guess some organization is going to show up and protest the school this week.

Might have been a re-shoot that Denver Pyle wasn't available for so they had a stand in for him and hoped people like eagle eye HossC wouldn't notice.

She don't look bad for 67. Btw her daughter wrote a recent episode of Macgyver.

Sorry to hear Roger. Definitely sounds like you need to get an x-ray done. My wife had a lousy weekend too. Friday she got a near migraine headache, Saturday she woke up with a bit of a fever along with the headache still. Sunday she woke up with back pain but the headache and fever was gone. She took a couple of the muscle relaxers and had a heating pad on her back most of the day. Today she woke up feeling better though fingers crossed. She was really looking forward to going to the park and getting outside since it was really nice outside this weekend after the brutal cold and snow for most of February. This talk of Murphy's law reminded me of my wife's ex stepfather. Everything this dude tried to repair blew up, I kid you not swear to God with my right hand on a bible. The story's my wife tells about him fixing things just makes your jaw drop. When I first got my driver's license the Monte Carlo that was given to me needed a tuneup so my dad always the one to pinch a penny had him come over change the spark plugs, wires and oil etc... Before her ex stepfather touched it the car ran great, afterwards it sounded like a car on its deathbed and could barely move under it's own power. It ended up having to be towed to the mechanics and the mechanic said whoever touched the car shouldn't be allowed near mechanical things lol. 4 out if the six wires were on the wrong sparkplugs is one of the things that stuck in my mind, I don't remember the rest that needed fixed offhand but it ended up costing over $600. That car never really ran the same after that, always had issues with it after that.

According to wikipedia the "law" itself goes back to writings of Augustus De Morgan in the 1860's though others have also 'coined' the term or a similar one throughout history. Murphy gets attached to it in the late 1940's early 1950's during high speed g force testing at the Edwards air force base when Edward Murphy developed sensors read zero after a test. Whether Murphy said it or one of the other scientists is still up for debate.

William Byron won the Dixie Vodka 400 at Homestead miami yesterday leading over 100 laps and winning the 2nd stage blowing past the battling Gibbs teammates on a late stage restart. Early on it looked like the race would be dominated by the Penske teammates. Then Chris Buescher came out of nowhere showing some speed from the Roush stable that hasn't been seen in a decade winning stage 1. Unfortunately the 17 car was not setup for the later part of the race when it transitioned into night and fell back to the teens. His teammate Ryan Newman faired better when the track transitioned eventually finishing 7th. Michael McDowell also had a good race in the final stage finishing 6th now if the FRR pit crew can get better at pitstops he could be a contender for the playoffs well beyond the round of 16. Tyler Reddick was the fastest car late in the race, with 10 to go he made up 8.3 seconds of a 11 second deficit to the leader William Byron. If he would have been able to pass Kyle Larson and Martin Tried jr faster he would have caught Byron on the final lap as he was gaining about 1 second a lap. Here's the top 10. 1 William Byron 2 Tyler Reddick 3 Martin Truex jr 4 Kyle Larson 5 Kevin Harvick 6 Michael McDowell 7 Ryan Newman 8 Kurt Busch 9 Alex Bowman 10 Kyle Busch

So I was flipping through the streaming channels this morning and came across a show called zombie house or zombie flippers or something. I ended up watching almost the whole episode and I don't know if their other episodes show them in a better light but this one showed what not to do when 'flipping' a house. They bought a house that needed substantial renovating because they had a buyer already lined up to buy it when it was done. One thing they should have gotten done first was the last thing they repaired which was the leaking roof. First thing they did after demo was plumbing then drywall. One of the flippers turned the water main back in without realizing the plumbing wasn't finished in one of the bathrooms so the bathroom got flooded . Since the roof wasn't fixed it leaked inside when it rained so they just painted over the water stains on the new drywall. They had a big oak tree cut down but the company left a couple of logs behind for a 2nd load pickup but the one flipper flipped out because he scheduled sod for that day. So two of the flippers ask one of the subs if they can load the logs on his Blazer, guy says yeah, big mistake. The flippers ended up totalling the Blazer trying to load one of the logs with the log mover. 3rd week into the quick flip they find out the buyer has some past financial issues and backed out, you'd think they would have had the buyer show them a pre-approval letter or something from the lender. Now that they're selling it themselves they store a bunch of staging furniture in the garage and since the roof wasn't fixed yet an overnight rain shower leaked into the garage ruining all the staging furniture as well as drywall in the garage which they had no choice but to replace this time. When they finally get the roof replaced they went with the cheapest bid and you could definitely see that in the sped up video when the roof guys left 1/2 inch+ gaps between some of the 4x8 osb sheets. I feel sorry for whoever bought that house.

Just...wow. the level of detail.
