A Deal With The Devil

I feel dirty.

I just bargained with Buddy, Real Estate Agent Extraordinaire. I said if he could move back the time of his showing by 4 hours (so The Earner can sleep after working all night) that I would set it up with the hard to reach guy next door so he could see that side of the duplex, too.

I need a shower. And some bleach.

DIY Gone Awry

So my neighbor is outside blowing leaves. This may be a fairly normal thing to do in the fall, you say. I might agree with you, but you're not seeing what I'm seeing here. The man is wearing a back-pack style leaf blower that he has fashioned out of a gasoline engine (originally from a lawn mower? I have no idea, but it does not appear to be designed for the purpose he has given it), PVC pipe, duct tape, and bungee cords.

This is equal parts McGuyver, Tim the Tool Man, and Wile E. Coyote. The only thing missing is the Acme Exploding Parts box in the driveway, with screws and leftover springs rattling around in it.

Also, there is a large pile of dirt (topsoil?) in his yard, covered with a blue tarp. Various articles of lawn furniture are holding down the edges of the tarp. I can't wait to see what comes of that!

Halloween

"Four score and 7 years ago..."

She just cracks me up.
