Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life, but define yourself. Harvey S. Firestone

The people with whom you work reflect your own attitude. If you are suspicious, unfriendly and condescending, you will find these unlovely traits echoed all about you. But if you are on your best behavior, you will bring out the best in persons with whom you are going to spend most of your waking hours.

Some people get spiritual because they see the light and some people get spiritual because they feel the heat!

How do you know if you're truly a servant? See how you react the next time someone treats you like one.

Project "Destroy The Backyard"


* Project "Destroy The Backyard" is nearing completion. We are ready for this to be over. I'm tired of working on it till dark everyday and so is W-spouse. It sure will be fun watching the kids and grand kids enjoy it and play on it..
* I want to get this for an add on already, but W-spouse won't let me get it yet.
* There is so many little things that take so much time to do, and when you get through doing them, you stand back and take a look and it seems like you did nothing.
* As you can see from the above picture the slide and all the swing parts came in yesterday. The hardware that the swing chains hang from are huge. I will try to take a picture of one of them to show you. I want to say they are overkill, but nothing is overkill when my grand kids are playing on it. The stronger and safer, the better.
* I have a few bolts to pick up to hang the hardware from. Then I have to drill the holes through the pipe. From the top of the ladder. That isn't going to be the most fun part of this project.
* We purchased Grey Composite decking for the upper deck and climbing wall. All the pieces have been cut and are ready for installation when the paint dries. 
* I will be 50 in a little over a month. Not sure how I feel about that just yet.
* We might be empty nesters in September. I know exactly how I feel about that.
* Our preacher and his wife were empty nesters for 45 minutes. Their daughter moved out for college, and 45 minutes later her grandmother moved in with them.
* I different, newer, more powerful swivel was delivered out to me this morning. We are all hoping this makes our job simpler and easier. I know it will mine.
* I went walking in canada, and found a Harley....from Japan.
Chest pounding. Nuff said.
* He bought a BMW motorcycle and claims it gave him a two year erection. Big deal, I bought two Harley Davidsons and got screwed out of thousands of dollars.
* Awesome attendance record.
* Be careful coming home. You know who you are.
* I hope you have a blessed day, see ya Around The Corner!

Becareful with the slide this summer. It gets really really hot. Enough to cause burns! My little one came out with blisters.
