Back when I was a wee lad, about 20 or so, I used to dream of boards on the green chain going by. The boards were endless. I would wake up exhausted from pulling boards all night, then I would have to go into work at the lumber mill and do it for real.

That was a lousy job. Don't ever pull lumber on a green chain, it's the kind of job meant for robots.

Saw mills are scary places...

whirring death lurks everywhere.

It's all just a distant memory.

As for last night I slept pretty good. I'm watching a light snow fall outside while I sip coffee.

The fishing boat had different kinds of death.

I don't really miss it.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

Here's an exercise in futility for you...

try putting a 20'x30' tarp on a camper in 15mph winds with 30mph gusts.

Wouldn't it be more fun to try and cover the trailer with a roll of saran wrap? Using a tarp is just a half hearted attempt to overcome struggle.  :D

Should be do-able with 10 or so full size adults, yes?

Rocks and rope can be acceptable substitutes for people and often better houseguests than many people too Mr. Hermit

I like guests.

They're an excuse to have a party...not like I need an excuse.

Wouldn't it be quicker to let the tarp go free then look for it in the woods tomorrow?

I just rolled it up into a ball and stuffed inside the camper.

Tomorrow...or another day...is another day. [thumbsup]
