Random crap with Uno.

[Rusty Edge]

Yeah, definitely sounds difficult.

A Realtree  or Mossy Oak camo t-shirt wouldn't do ? Even with some leaves/vines/bark/ grass etc. attached?

[Buster's Uncle]

Hmm.  There's an idea.  Given a good hand with an airbrush, a t-shirt painted barky might not look bad at all...

I know it's really stupid, but seeing Mother peering out at me from the back yard over the fence in the morning makes me chuckle.  Moved her to the back yard to be more protected from the coming storms, and anchored her a bit stronger. 

Father is fine save for his right arm, which is incomplete, but it won't get any worse with the storms.  My new construction is so light, it's amazing to move them around. 

[Buster's Uncle]

That's not stupid at all - it's awesome to be able take pleasure in your good work.

Light is good.

Need to decide how we're presenting Father for the contest. 

Do I build a stand (and probably weight it down with haybales), or do I take and drive my rebar into the ground? 

[Buster's Uncle]

I don't know about the contest.

[Unorthodox]

I don't know if they'll neccessarily allow the rebar.  Nothing is officially out for the contest THIS year, yet as only insane people are planning that far ahead.

[Insert expertise joke here]

[Unorthodox]

One of the most messed up days of my life...

[Buster's Uncle]

Oh?

[Unorthodox]

Yep. 

All from someone making a typo. 

[Buster's Uncle]

Your work life always sounds kinda Office Space only with missiles and not being able to talk about it.

Are you Milton or who?

[Unorthodox]

Haven't really watched that, so can't say. 

Basically, work's had my SSN wrong for the last 8 months (hired 9 months ago and it was right at that time), and we gotta figure out what to do about it. 

Found today when I suddenly didn't show up in the big gubt list of who should be where.  Since, ya know, it was looking for the wrong SSN and all.  Hilarity for being somewhere "I wasn't on the list for" (but I was, the info was just wrong) did ensue until we figured out WHY.  Now there's joys of 8 months of pay stubs filed wrong, a years taxes, etc. 

[Buster's Uncle]

You might better give Office Space a watch sometime, then - all Dilbert stuff with engineers.

[Unorthodox]

Eh.  Not high on my priority list.  I'm more the history/discovery channel type
