Gee, thanks. I put fertilizer on the yard yesterday, does that count? Yeah, it was a really beautiful day yesterday. A soft, steady breeze was blowing from the west, the sun was bright, it was very warm, nice day to work in the yard. So I worked on a drainage problem in one of the landscaping borders, raked up the dead crabgrass, spread fertilizer and 50 pounds of Rebel Premium Fescue blend grass seed (it's done better in this yard than anything else), and waited for the rain. And waited, and waited, and waited. Check the forecast again and... oh, now there is only a slim chance of any rain, but the temperature will drop to the upper 30's. Damned meteorologists and their computer models can't predict what the weather will be the next hour, let alone the next day or week. Oh, and it did sprinkle, so now it is very cold (10 degrees below normal which seems to be where we stay most of the year for the past two years - global warming my ass) so it is cold and damp and feels like winter, which sucks.

BAH...............

Snow flurries!!!!!

Might get above freezing, I say might.

This winter has gone on long enough. Local Sears outlet is having a sale of Lawn and Garden equipment, so it must be spring, right?

As for Gloabl Warming...........throw a few more rubber tires on the bonfire, I say!

After that, trim the palm trees, and wax the 'gator.

I do hope you really mean to trim real trees and wax a live alligator. Cuz that could be interpreted as some kind of FLA street slang for...well...you know. ;)

NOTE: Yes, Donnie's mind is in the gutter...it has been there since he was a younker...which is truly amazing since he grew up in a small Iowa town that had no paved streets, much less street gutters.

Naw, it gotta be some sort of Navy-type code. Them swabbies got tons of that stuff, like "shorten the main brace", “trim the mizzen" and stuff like that. Why do you think they sleep in hammocks, eh?

Took the day off (have a stinkin' headcold), so I'm going to lay out in the yard and work on my tan a bit. After that, trim the palm trees, and wax the 'gator. Did I tell you I live in Florida? Sucks to be a Yankee, it does :P:sarcasm:

Watch who you're callin' a damnyankee! I am a Virginian by birth and by choice. We Virginians get a might testy when we're called, referred to as, or generally implied as being yankees. :ph43r:
