and after 3 days, he is risen!

If you are paying $20 for a haircut, I imagine people assume you did it yourself anyway.

Pocket change cost me my first and only black girlfriend.   It was in the middle of a roaring poker boom and I was flush in ways most men don't even bother dreaming of. Money, it was like dirt to me

He seems like the type who could just disappear for years at a time and come back, almost like a whole different person but not really, and then just jump right back in.

 

So it could be awhile. Or it could be five minutes. Only the shadow knows.

I ordered some new pants and must have entered the wrong address as they got delivered to a neighbor AND OF COURSE it wasn't there when I stopped and nobody was home and my luck they are hoarding my pants and just straight up moved to avoid giving them back.

 

They're just some Levi 501s because I know that gay Shake was going to ask.

Well, to be fair, you find most anything online for cheap. Not always, but I'm discovering it more frequently. Just got a pool filter for $20 cheaper and free shipping

Should I have gone with "who would STEAL Levi's" instead? That's why we leave the comedy to Loogie and the new guy that may never be back.

 

I've been working my ass off trying to get a promotion to a VP position. Ill let you all know when I don't get it.

You'll actually get it. You're all successful and fancy and travel for work.

They used to be expensive. Well, $50 or so. I still won't pay that. I just find some Polo jeans on sale at Dillard's

 

 

Nappy, if you have sizing issues, definitely hit the big man's section at Dillard's. always have good stuff. Just gotta wait out the good sales.

$65 for a pair. But $45 online, so whatever. They'll last and all my other jeans are nearing dad-jean status. I was hoping to wait until I lost weight (lol, never gonna happen) and decided to say screw it and just buy 2 pair of nice jeans to have.

I thought I was complimenting you. You know, throwing your hat in the ring as a contender.

 

oh. well this is awkward. let's assume "pistols at dawn" meant crossing swords in Dawn or something. I mean, Ron hasn't made me feel like a man in weeks.

 

Although really I was just assuming that the escorts looked good.

 

i knew it! Really, who would willingly pay for an uggo?

 

I wonder if there are really good looking guys that pay for average to below average looking hookers? you know, like with some weird fetish for seeing how the other half live or something....

I'll touch your check mark any day beans

 

 

 

Just watch out for the exclamation point...

 

 

 

...itll be somewhere in the shadows of yours

 

 

 

I never tried mowing wet grass. I assumed it was a no no

 

And tractor mowing doesnt seem that taxing. Throw on some tunes, a mini cooler, bingo. Nobody is edging or anything, right?

 

Still probably tiring, getting on and off, clearing paths

 

At this new branch, that girl and her ilk are the majority of the clients. Not good

 

 

 

Nah, not supposed to....it clumps up and builds up under the mover deck. Unless washed off it causes rust. Also the clumps shade the grass and dies it out. Not wise to water it during the hot sun of the day for the same reason I got a third degree sunburn the last time doing it. The droplets of water act like a magnifying glass and burns the shit outta it

 

 

 

About halfway through the mowing experience today Mama Icewater called...

 

 

 

"Yeah?"

 

 

"You home?"

 

 

"Yeah"

 

 

"My air conditioner in the car isnt working"

 

 

 

"Shit Ma... its just a hundred...cant ya roll the windows down?"

 

 

 

"Well, I gotta go to the...."

 

 

 

"Im just shittin... be there in a minute or two"

 

 

 

(Thirty minutes later Beans pulls up on the four wheeler with a cooler and lap full of R-One thirty four, gauges, thermometer, and miscellaneous hand tools)

 

 

 

"Where ya have to go?"

 

 

 

"To the mailbox"

 

 

 

"....oh"

 

 

 

"Were you swimming?"

 

 

 

"Nah.... mowing"

 

 

 

"...oh"

 

 

 

(five minutes after starting car and turning A/C on)

 

 

 

"Uh....why is all of the vents turned off?"

 

 

 

"They are?"

 

 

 

"Yeah.... see this thing here? It turns it on and off"

 

 

 

"OH!.... I thought that was to turn the air toward you"

 

 

 

"No... this one does that"

 

 

 

(Beans sticks thermometer in the now open vent and reads a chilly thirty eight degrees after connecting the gauges to the low pressure valve and verifying the coolant is sufficient)

 

 

 

"Its ok, Mom... anything else?"

 

 

 

"Its making a funny noise"

 

 

 

"Really...get in and point it out"

 

 

 

(Mom gets in passenger side after Beans turns A/C off)

 

 

 

"Hear that?"

 

 

 

"No"

 

 

 

"Its plain as day!.... sounds like a weedeater hitting a piece of tin!"

 

 

 

"....Mom.... its not on.... even turned the key off while you were griping about how hard it was to get in that side"

 

 

 

"....you want a piece of cake?"

 

 

 

"Yeah"

 

 

 

I just wish she would call when she gets lonely and wants some company. I guess I need to visit more often that two or three times a day. Or sign her up for bingo again

 

 

 

She was much happier getting into slap fights over the last number called with geriatric veggies before the sheriffs department got involved. Im hoping they let her in with another false name this time...

 

 

 

The prune dont fall far from the tree, I guess

 

 

 

And nah, mowing isnt one bit difficult. To me its like a vacation from worries. Sure, Ive turned them over a few times. Ran into the side of a few cars. Thrown rocks and the kids toys through windows. Ground up a few garden hoses. Even wrapped a log chain around the blades so tight I had to use a cutting torch to get it out. Mowed for almost an hour without the blades engaged once....

 

 

 

For me its the cost of doing business. Much more entertaining that going to movies and shit. Plus I dont have to keep an eye out for a black and white Murray with blue lights mowing up behind me or hiding in the weeds ahead

 

 

 

 

I was telling a friend of mine once about the advantages of drunk mowing. At the time he was spending gobs of money on a therapist due to his family/work situation. Talked him into firing the landscapers and buying a riding mower. Told him if it didnt improve his lookout on life Id pay for the mower...with the stipulation that he never operate it sober. Even went over and layed out exactly where to put the coolers scattered around the yard so he would always have a full one to enjoy...

 

 

 

Sure enough, within a couple weeks the guy was convinced. Quit the shrink as well

 

 

 

Now, like me, when the shit gets close to the fan blades hes on the JD all soused up. He lives in a subdivision so he dont have to mow down county and state roads like me when the yard is clipped.... he just goes yard to yard until it runs out of gas. No risk of turning it over in steep ditches but a few neighbors have threatened restraining orders. All part of fun I keep tellin him

 

 

 

 

Guess I should I have blown somebody.

 

 

 

Poor Leaves...

 

 

 

 

Well, to be fair, you find most anything online for cheap. Not always, but I'm discovering it more frequently. Just got a pool filter for $20 cheaper and free shipping

 

 

 

Plus no taxes. For now at least

 

 

 

Id rather pay shipping than taxes. When I... a buddy of mine buys a car he always pays cash and requests the previous owner to leave the amount on the back of the title and bill of sale blank. That way he can enter an amount less than the taxable state minimum and avoid throwing money down the shitter. A few weeks ago he got a few raised eyebrows when applying for tags on a nine eleven purchased for thirty nine hundred. It was a pile of junk you see, ma'am. Brought it home in pieces....

 

 

 

Luckily within hours after getting it home its pristine once again. Fastest restorer in the south...he is

 

 

 

 

"Hey napa, maybe they were delivered to 1991 when button fly 501's were in style"

 

 

 

Yeah... start wearing camo cargo shorts and get back into style...geez pete

Beansey, how does Mrs Icewater feel about living so close to Mama Icewater?

 

The picture you painted is that mama is a tad needy and you are an attentive son? In a momemt of honest, does the Mrs roll her eyes when mama calls? Or are you different from my family and actually like big family stuff
