Mike and I think you’re funny.

 

Tick fire 4300 acres 5% contained , winds are really strong and 10k structures threatened

 

Ok TW think tank, let's see how we do.

Today, at work, we needed a new sump pump. There were 4 photos for instructions.


Ok, I get it.




Now for the puzzling one...










So here's this engineers thought on the meaning:

The farmer is tired of hearing the cow moo and complain that the pool water is too high, or that the sumo basin has water, or that the recirculater for the pond isn't aerating correctly. Soooo, this must mean get rid of the cow as you can get milk for free elsewhere or just stop putting milk in the coffee all together.

I'll be off line for a few days, so ponder this and report back on Monday with the "think tank's" take on this...

 

That's easy.

The water is contaminated from the dam cow so it has to be removed and once it's dry the cow will dehydrate and die. Then he can get rid of the cow without a worry. After a period of time the natural restore of the land will clean that area and then he can put in his goldfish in there like he wanted in the first place.

 

I love your take on things!!

Sounds good!!! You know you’re always gonna do better with supervised therapy. It’s why they are paid the big bucks.

 

"Bill!!" his wife Julie called out. "The damn cow is back!"

"Shit." Bill exclaimed quietly.

Mrs. O'Leary's cow was a constant source of neighborhood embarrassment and ridicule ever since they both moved to Waterbury from Chicago. The cow quietly snuck up to windows at night and "mooed" as loud as it could, hoping to wake whoever was asleep inside. It leaped fences to do cannonballs in backyard pools whenever someone had a garden party in an attempt to drench as many guests as it could. Goodness knows how the mayor stayed on his feet after taking a SeaWorld-worthy soaking at Gladys Nayworth's poetry recital. It rang doorbells and ran off, often stomping on Amazon deliveries as it did so. It also was known to cook ants with a magnifying glass, and everyone knew to keep matches out of reach without quite knowing why but suspecting the cow was a fire bug.

Lately, it had taken to using Bill's koi pond as it's personal Jacuzzi, ruining the yard with dead fish and soggy hoof prints.

"No more, Bessie." Bill whispered to himself, hatching a plan to end this menace once and for all. "No more."

After contacting an "expert" that was recommended by his old buddy Case down at the VFW, Bill had the pond professionally drained. Then he and Case dug the pond deep, down to a level even with the basement. After carefully removing cinder blocks so they wouldn't damage the foundation, they had successfully made a secret entrance to the basement. They then reinforced the area around the old pond location with a PVC scaffold and covered it with a tarp that looked exactly like the old koi pond.

At the same time, Julie managed to score three good-sized deep chest freezers from a restaurant that had recently gone under, which were now getting to temperature in order to be ready for the night's work. Case laid out the collection of plastic sheeting he'd needed since the last Nor'easter attempted to relocate his roof, and Bill set his carving knives and old Army 1911 on the work table. They placed some sod turves around the tarp, and the trap's illusion was complete.

After a long nap and pot of coffee, they'd be ready for what needed to be done.

Oh yes, they'd be ready.

 

Sorry, you are funny

Seems to make sense

 

Really?

In that case just lure him into the front door over a tarp with some feed and zap him with the welder.
Much easier...

 

Nope. 2 words - plausible deniability.

"Why no, Mrs. O'Leary, we haven't seen your cow since Thursday. Is everything okay?"

 

Ahhhhhhhh
Interesting.
You have any kids not squeamish?

Evening Everyone !!!!

 

Just got done with my 1rst visit with Home Healthcare PT . The PT tech was impressed with my progress being that I'm 3 weeks post op . He did catch me a couple times not doing the exercises wrong (foot placement and follow thru)

He does want me to use my Walker more and only use my cane in my house . This because of my l /knee instability , he's afraid I may fall .

 

You'll be kicking cats in no time, Chuck

Just an update. It looks like the house is ok from the news chopper footage. They turned on the power at 4PM but will not allow access into the area until tomorrow. Staying at my parents house tonight. At least the dogs are having fun over here. Thanks for the well wishes.

 

Good to hear !
