Hey Roscoe !!!!!!!!!!
Some days you win....some days you lose...Today I won and lost....
First the win....After ranting about my cousin and his lights I went to the
shop for my test light....Planned to go check those lights out....All that ramp/compressor room/associated retaining wall work....well I placed an adarondak chair across the drive sos I could rest and get an eye for the project....namely where the wall needed more rocks...This morning there was a Copperhead lying between the ramp and chair...had Spike been with me or had I not seen the snake things coulda been bad...I sent him on to snake heaven...one less Copperhead is a win....
So old cousin got tired of waiting and left....I ran by the store for a cold beverage and there he sat...boat with no lights in tow and headed for Myrtle Beach...Trust that's about as foolish as it gets....not to mention uncaring for others on the road....I did take opportunity and busted his balls about the lights and his last minute begging...Hey they weren't burning yesterday either....I hope the proper authorities
throw the book at him and told him so...he's mad....I don't care....So I went to the junkyard and did some work....
Back home at 5:30....Cool and windy....It had rained so the dust was down...I let Spike out...If I could cram a grass cutting into this day it would be good...Spike loves to sit in the trucks so I let him in the Ranger and starting cutting like my azz was on fire...One trip around I notice the ranger moving as I approach....it's speeding up....I fly behind it thinking I'll jump off and stop it....It was flying by this time and I damn near couldn't get out of the way...@70 feet downhill backwards into a pine tree...dang tailgate won't even open...I had a ringside seat....Spike is OK...I'll add the freekin truck to the list....In my haste to cut grass I left it out of gear...
