Well, that put a whole new spin on "Get 'er done"....
Larry the Cable Guy's "motto" has entirely different meaning to me now than I bet it does even him...
I'll bet not even he, goofy as he is, would use it as a mantra to shovel about 4 tons of dirt, no exaggeration necessary.
I asked.
We used 7 or 8 loads. Either way, thass alotta damned dirt. And...
I'm still alive.
So far. It's a lot better out there, too.
And, can ya stand it... it rained for a few minutes less than 5 minutes after we got done. I just stood there, staring upward, not believing this shit. I had JUST asked God to gimme a break with the rain so that shit can dry out a day or two, and boom.
Yeah, thanks, Dude. Helps a lot.
*rolls eyes*
(Wise-ass, ain't He?) I was beat like a redhaired step-child when we got done. While Eric took care of the horses, I whomped together a quick, but really good, dinner. Made pork chops and had mac & cheese in the frig and some garlic limas and peas, so we were set. Only bad thing is... soon as I got done eating, I crashed. I know eating then going to bed is beyond stupid, but, fuck man, I was fallin' down tired, so screw it.
I'll run it off today at work.
I know it. Plus, I'm up already and this house needs to be beaten into submission before I go in. So, that'll help, too. As for the horse stalls...
Thick mats go down next, then the bedding. I know what the mats are made of, but again... it's escaping me for now. Some kinda rubbery shit they make gloves and boot liners out of for warmth. It feels almost squishy... the texture isn't regular rubber, but similar and when, in about 3 minutes, the name comes to me, I'll get it out... what IS it called? Damn.... I do know it's NOT polyurethane. Something like that, though... (And, no brain (you baked little thang), it's not Kevlar, either, so stop saying that, okay?)
Oh, and when it's used for gloves and shit, it's about a quarter inch or less, thick. This time, in mat-form, it'll be about 3 or 4 inches thick.
Da fuck's it called? Damn... Whatever.
If there's a post later of just one chemical-sounding word and a buncha exclamation points, you'll know why, right? I'll probably think of it in the middle of ordering someone's eggs... *giggle* Anyhoo... guess I oughta get started on this house. Part of what I need to do is finish washing my uniform. Got a few dishes and some straightening and maybe a little vacuuming. Only vacuum I have now is George's noisy, non-sucking monster that only works on carpeting, so that may not go so well. The dude whose shop-vac I had needed it back, so now I hafta go buy a REAL vacuum again. I want the same kind I had before. I forget what brand that is too, but I know what it looks like, so I'll find it.
It's blue.
And little.
And, the bags are a pain to find, but it works really well.
And, it's just under $50. Yeah... need to go start the house, for sure.
But, FIRST....
Lil trip to the library. What?
TMI? Sorry.
*grin* Peace, y'all...
*giggles*

YES!!!
That's it!
Oh, thankyouthankyouthankyou.
And, yeah, that'd be a good idea... I did actually remember to look for one last night at Walmart, but they were all pads of paper. Mousepads of paper. Odd. By then (after I'd not been able to locate the stupid vacuum I wanted and had to then figger out which other one would work), I didn't feel like hunting down the real ones, Christ only knows where'd they'd have THEM, so I said "Hell widdit for now..." (It was after work and I was dying, more or less... *grin*)
I wound up with a maroon Dirt Devil Swivel Glide. *rolls eyes at that name*
All I know is it has a setting for "bare floor", so yay.
And, I do like that color....
(Speaking of which, I suppose I oughta go start using it now. Hafta go to work later....)
*hugs*
