Cleaning Up

Pressure Washing
A few years ago I got a new toy called a Pressure Washer. I just had to have one. It looked to be so much fun. Little did I know…

They are a lot of hard work. I got it started a couple of days ago and did a cleanup number on our patio and the sidewalks around our home. Here’s some pictures, and some show my “hard” work:

Here’s the machine.

Grandmother was watching while I did some fancy writing with the pressure washer

That sidewalk did not look very dirty until I started working on it. It’s hard to believe the grime that collects. This sidewalk was cleaned 2 years ago. It got this dirty in two years in the elements. But it gave me a unique way to let Grandmother know that I love her.

What is it they say about men and boys?
Is it something like this, “The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys”?

Quote of the Day
The best six doctors anywhere
And no one can deny it
Are sunshine, water, rest, and air.
Exercise and diet.

These six will gladly you attend
If only you are willing
Your mind they'll ease
Your will they'll mend
And charge you not a shilling.

~Nursery rhyme quoted by Wayne Fields

Joke of the Day

Prison Vs. Work
Makes me glad I’m retarded. I mean retired.

IN PRISON
You spend the majority of your time in an 8x10 cell.
AT WORK
You spend most of your time in a 6x8 cubicle

IN PRISON
You get three meals a day.
AT WORK
You only get a break for 1 meal, you have to pay.

IN PRISON
You get time off for good behavior.
AT WORK
You get rewarded for good behavior with more work.

IN PRISON
A guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you.
AT WORK
You must carry around a security card and unlock and open all the doors yourself.

IN PRISON
You can watch TV and play games.
AT WORK
You are fired for watching TV and playing games.

IN PRISON
You get your own toilet.
AT WORK
You have to share.

IN PRISON
They allow your family and friends to visit.
AT WORK
You cannot even speak to your family and friends.

IN PRISON
All expenses are paid by taxpayers with no work required.
AT WORK
You get to pay all the expenses to go to work and then they deduct taxes from your salary to pay for prisoners.

IN PRISON
You spend most of your life looking thorough bars from the inside wanting to get out.
AT WORK
You spend most of your time wanting to get out and go inside bars.

IN PRISON
There are wardens who are often sadistic.

Wow, what a powerful pressure washer. We will be using one this summer when we reseal the cabin logs. I love, Love, LOVE your sentiment to your wife. How Sweet you are.

And the size of the toybox!

Never heard that quote before but sure am going to 'pay' more attention to them.

The Joke? Ain't that the truth!
