My turn. The wife and daughter are going to Vegas tomorrow for 5 days with some friends of ours, a last minute trip. My friend does part time fireworks for Grucci Bros. out of L. I. N.Y since he was a kid. Send him out to Vegas for the week, he does 3 or 4 shows and gambles all his money away. I opted out as I have been and wanted to relax around here and do some fishing. No problem. Now I look at the weather for this week with wind 15 to 25 from wed. on and crappy weather to boot. Found out my reverse lights don't work so no sticker on Sat. Truck into shop today, who knows how long. No truck no boat. Ask wife today to see if deal is still there to maybe go with her. No way all gone. So looks like i will not be doing much this week but I guess I can relax, maybe paint the kitchen ceiling Hope I don't break a toe.

Wasps Suck

Walk into my barn Friday, its only a large shed, and I fill up lawn tractor with friekin expensive gas. Notice buzzing around head. Dont think anything of it, probably a fly or two or three. Finish putting fuel in tractor. Lift up engine cover because I have to manually press in ignition lever to start tractor. Now the buzzing on top of and behind my head moves to the front. About twenty wasps are looking at me like I am lunch. I bolt to my left out the door and as I do several wasps try for an appetiser. I got stung three times before I was twenty feet away from the barn. Fell on my ass to boot. Went into house and grab a can of Ortho stuff and declared war on the 8 inch tall nest. Spray the living daylights out of it. Showed them who was boss. Arm hurt like hell while I was mowing lawn.
