Sooooo....anyone have one? have access to one?

I'd like to keep Marlin busy and I have to dig a ditch for that to happen.. think of it as a loan to ensure you won't be banned for several hours.

Or you can come dig the ditch.. Then watch Marlin work..

Marlin
09-24-2011, 08:49
You just want me to do it?

Just ups my price.

There was some brown chicken brown cow last night pat.. only in the bedroom.. cause it's now the only room with window coverings.

Unless your gas line is fed from the front side of the house to the meter. Then you would have squat for markings if you only requested the back yard. They will only locate what is requested, to the letter on your description.
Was a sketch or clear ticket left ? Or if a dog is in the back yard the locators will not even attempt to enter the back yard.

Yer buying lunch though.. [Tooth]

I'm fine w/ buying lunch. I'll have water :) It'll even be cold!


Digging a trench with a M16 er...ah...I mean a AR15 strapped across my back, WOW, big time flashback.

There are no jungles here sideshow (not sure how old you are), and no sand dunes either..

If you have a freak out it's ok.. nothing like a little 'negligent' discharge to make the neighbors afraid :) [Tooth]

It's a garage for christs sake ! Porcelain socket with a pull chain, then stick a bulb in it and done.
Is he trying to choose which designer fixture to go with so it matches the decor of the garage ?

Well yes they're just going to be basic lights... but I want more light than a single incandescent... just a few florescent.

And it wasn't just waiting on me to pick lights.. so HA!

Just remember with fluorescents, if the garage is not heated, when it is really cold out, they will flicker and strobe until they warm up enough to burn at full brightness. Or you will have to pay extra for cold condition ballasts.

Next week is back injections by my fellow healthcare providers followed by the clean-up/shoot at the south site.

It is also the beginning of the year for those of us that work for the evil blood sucking/baby killing worthless POS DOD that is run by the Federal Govt that so many like to despise around here. ;)

Since just about everyone had last week off so to speak because the systems were down (yea right) we now get to play catch up. I know my boss took last week off and even though that has been forbidden in the last 30 years I have worked there he is one of the new gang.

Fast tracked to a WO at 26 he has no clue what awaits him come Monday.[Muaha][LOL]
