Is that a pear tree?
Also, I’ll vouch for tree work being good for getting jacked.

No, it was a pecan tree.

Just a couple of small dents in the hood. Thank you Jesus
The leading edge of that storm hit hard. The wind didn’t last long but was intense. Glad I staked Jed’s new trampoline down!

I’m glad it didn’t do too much damage.
The trampoline…how big is Jed? Because until he outgrew me at 16 or so (right when he met his now-wife, the big abandoner), my youngest and I spent years joyously playing “trampoline tag,” which was played by jumping three times on opposite sides of the tramp with the “it” person holding their tagging finger up in a threatening manner. At “three!” we would chase around the trampoline (jumping across the middle was a foul) until tagged. We had variations, like foot-clap jump, crane jump, etc. Good exercise, and so much fun. I don’t know if Jed would be into it (or you would), but we sure loved it.

Jed is 20 but still loves his trampoline. That’s why he got a new one for Christmas because it’s his happy place. He never asks me to get in and play tag with him anymore so I guess there’s no room for his mama. 
He can spend hours out there like this. Just “talking to the angels” is what I call it. When he was little he would look at the sky and babble like he was carrying on a conversation.
When he has had a really over stimulating day this calms him.

Stood there with the bar on my back and thought real hard about just repping that shit out. Then my good sense kicked in and I racked it.
Got a new toy for the little garden yesterday. Some guy on marketplace sold an almost new electric tiller for $15! Said he used it once. It’s not even dirty. Complete with instruction manual and the tags still on it. Going to go test it out.
Edit: Okay. This thing is cute as shit! Definitely worth the $15 I paid for it…lol

Good looking session and great score on the tiller! Looks like it did a good job. 
Thanks!
It did great! No, it didn’t get as deep as the big 6 horse gas tiller but it wasn’t supposed to. I may like this as much as the electric chainsaw.
No jerking or cussing required.

Is it still growing in popularity? I feel like sightings of the douche bag dragon guys peaked a couple of years ago.

We have anti vaping assemblies 2-3 times a year. It is still a thing. Teens (not all I am sure) have been sold on the idea that vaping is safer than tobacco. That is an argument for another day. But, when I look into it for health class the research I come across indicates vaping is not safer. While my daughter, who is pushing 40 and vapes finds research that vaping is safer. The best answer is do neither. Then I have my section on cannabis and that is a whole other argument.

My understanding is that vaping is far worse on your lungs than smoking. I’ve actually told my sons that if they are going to be dumb enough to do it,at least smoke cigarettes. That will take longer to kill you.

Spicy came to the gym with me, went over in the corner sniffing around, she jumped and I shot off that thing like a rocket on rails! I didn’t see anything, but heard something, went back to the house got the flashlight, still didn’t see anything. Must have been the wind hitting that little bush on the side. I hope… Well, no rattlesnakes popped off so I carried on. Who knows, there may be a Sasquatch in there for all I know. Somebody should clean that shit up!

That must really suck to have to always worry about coming across rattle snakes. I remember when I used to travel to TX for work they were always on my mind. We worked outside at these random parks and fields all over the state. This was one of those places that immediately came to mind.

It’s just part of life here. We are taught very young to watch for them. I am NOT a fan. I took one out with a 10 pound plate once! I prefer the 20 gauge but a girl’s gotta do, whatta girl’s gotta do

This was supposed to be a 30 min thing but the 20 min phone call in the middle shot that idea down. Got it done anyway.
