[smackaholic]

The festivities start in the morning.

Detailed PET to follow.

Digging a new latrine?

[smackaholic]

Filling in the old one. That crater in front of the excavator is where the pool used to live before it got kicked to the curb. I had an excavating company dude stop by this morning for an estimate of having it filled. While he was there, I said, ya know, I got the better part of an acre of jungle here which i would like to make lawn some day, why not kill two birds with one stone. Well, actually, with an excavator, it's little brother excavator, a dozer and a bobcat. Going to knock down 5 or 6 real trees, well, not Oregon "real", but decent sized, along with a bunch of little ones and approximately 16 million prickly bushes. Of course those prickly bushes would produce many gallons of blackberries in a few months, so maybe I'll have him leave a few. Ahhh, fukk that, I will buy them from you calis like everyone does. I can still find plenty other blackberries everywhere. Looks like the old rider mower my father in law gave me a while back is going to get a tuneup. It has a reason to live again.

Good luck with the landscaping and plumbing but I'll always have that plastered, spackled, dry walled joke of a cinder block 'foundation' to ridicule. You know, the foundation anchored in place by that monstrous deck that would withstand an EF5 tornado.

Most builders anchor the deck to the foundation. You may be the only person on the planet who should anchor the foundation to the deck.

At least one side of it. Your deck is the container/cargo ship that T-boned the USN Destroyer. The USS Fitzgerald being one side of your basement wall, for lack of a better analogy at the moment. I'll keep trying though as that line of smack will never get old or not be funny.

I am happy that my shanty's foundation has put a glimmer of sunlight into the monsoon that is your world! Anyhoo, the foundation wall stands. Still holding my shack up as it has for about 60 years. So long as it does it another 30 or so, I'll be good. Actually the way my shit state is swirling the drain, I could see myself being out of it in another 3 or 4 years. So, the 8K I am dropping into this operation ought to pay back 3 or 4X in raised property value.

Funny, I used to have three lawns - two small ones and one large one (about 3,000 sq ft) in the front. I finally just let them die about 10 years ago because I got tired of watering, mowing, fertilizing and setting traps for the Varmint Cong.
Pool's still in decent shape, though after 17 years.


We had a bunch of family and friends over on Saturday for the first bbq/swim of the season, so we finally got around the past two weeks to pulling all the weeds that came up this spring.

Here are a couple of pictures of Mar-a-Mikey looking better than it has in a while.








BTW, I had some discussions of very classified foreign policy events at the tables under the magic shade tree in the background.

And don't worry, no 'coons were allowed in the pool.

[smackaholic]

I'm afraid casa smack will never look that cool, mikey. What do all your nocal hippy friemds think though? That's a pretty nasty carbon foot print you got there, even if you consider the magic shade tree. Seems as though you should be living in an old school bus with a bunch of solar panels on the roof.

I think the wife would prefer the bus...less vacuuming and a lot fewer weeds to pull. And she could live closer to shopping. But I've been here long enough I'm not going anywhere before I retire and have a chance to enjoy it full time (when not pulling weeds anyway). And I don't GARA about shopping.

Not too bad of a carbon footprint either. The pool has solar heat and a variable speed pump that saves about 75% on the electricity.

[Shlomart Ben Yisrael]

Was this "court ordered"?

[smackaholic]

Fukk you Marty!!!!

It was still in the "highly recommended" legal phase.

Wait, by "court" you mean, OL, right?

Well, yeah, it was pretty much court ordered.

[smackaholic]

A few more showed up for the party last night.

Coming to you live from casa smack, my first attempt at a VET.

Ummmmm, maybe not. Is there a way to post a video through taptalk? Looks like it is just giving me still pic options.

When will the National Guard show up?

[smackaholic]

I was thinking more along the lines of NMCB 27 my old reserve Seabee unit. They could have that banged out by lunch complete with fighting positions and perimeter razor wire. That could come in handy if Connecticut keeps on the path it's been the last 30 years or so.

You take really shitty over-sized pictures.

[Diego in Seattle]

perimeter razor wire.

That's a darn good idea!

Sin,

[smackaholic]

Yes I do. And I am not iphone savy enough to resize them.

But at least I'm not AP.

Hit Cntrl - about a dozen times and they'll come into view. Well, maybe not for an old fukk like you, but give it a shot anyway.

[Goober McTuber]

Are you bragging or complaining?

[smackaholic]

Just your standard expression of gratitude to the spaghetti monster.

[Dinsdale]

Ahhh, fukk that, I will buy them from you calis the Willamette Valley like everyone 95% of all blackberry consumers does.

FTFY

So we're going from making fun of your yard, to making fun of your mad photography skills... pretty even trade, I suppose.

[Moving Sale]

Only if the Willamette Valley is in Mexico.

I'm actually a fair photographer, given an actual DSLR camera. More an iphone/interweb photo editing retard in this case.

[Goober McTuber]

Please spray some Roundup on your Wheaties. TIA.

Spray some Roundup everywhere you have weeds and they won't be a problem anymore. I love the stuff, and walk around my property about 10 minutes a week spraying other places where weeds might have popped up before, I don't need to bring some hosey on to my property to pull the damn weeds

I've used it before and still use in in some places. The wife is afraid to use it anywhere near anything that we don't want to kill, though.

It works well also if you cut down a tree and and don't dig up the stump, but want to make sure it doesn't grow back. Drill a few holes in the stump, pour on some Roundup and presto - permanently dead tree.

Mikey - I'd drink beer with you at your pool. Nice looking place. My daughter's going out there for two weeks this Sunday. I should tell her I know a good place for her & her friends to party at!

I'd invite them over but they'd probably pee in my pool. :wink:

Not only are you wrong as per usualm, but it's not even a close contest.

College girls, Mikey. I think there's about a dozen of them (from all over the country). DON'T BE AN OLD FAG!

You don't really expect us to believe that one of your spawn was accepted by an actual college? DeVry maybe?

[Diego in Seattle]

Probably Trump U (which is in San Diego).

She's graduating early next semester, and off to grad school after that.

She applied for some philosophy thing in SD against about 400 other folks and was one of 12 selected. She did the same thing last year and out of about 3,000 applicants, she and about two dozen others made the cut on that and were in Rome for a month. Has yet to cost me a penny - other than throwing a little extra in for her to fuck away.

She's pretty smart.

Rack your mailman who hit paydirt.

At least he was a smart fucker, eh?

He stuck you with his sloppy seconds. So, yeah.

[Mikey]

So you live at a self-storage yard?
Cooking meth in any of those lockers?



How hot did it get up there yesterday? We were driving back from Paso Robles and took the back way through Taft, Palmdale, Littlerock, San Bernardin/Riverside, and Temecula.

My car's thermometer said 104 in Palmdale at around 11:00 am. In San Bernardino it said 106. In Sun City it got up to 110 and going through Temecula at around 1:30 it was reading 118. The official high was 109, I think, but damn...

20 minutes later in Fallbrook it was 82.

[trev]

Your place looks like a condo complex.

[smackaholic]

The new view from the famous, massively overbuilt smackaholic's deck. Should look respectable when the grass comes in.

And yes, the garden hose laying there is currently in use.

[Carson]

For what, flushing your toilet?

[smackaholic]

Watering grass seed. We use buckets for the toilet.

Typical So Cal. Not from a maintenance standpoint. From a construction standpoint there was some major diesel burned constructing that back yard. You would not want to pay for building that in todays market. That is a 200K backyard or better at todays prices. Nice place.

[ghost of wags]

you do anything to that abortion of a foundation wall yet?

Not nearly that much 17 years ago but, at today's prices, yeah maybe. Especially if you throw in the PV shade structure that was added five years ago.
