DIVORCE AGREEMENT

Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al:

We have stuck together since the late 1950’s, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has run its course. Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is
right so let’s just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.

Here is a model separation agreement:

Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.

Quadzilla’s New Tranny

Here is a picture of my new transmission still in the crate. It was built by FLT in Illinois. They include the TransGo HD-2 shift kit and a few other goodies. I also had a 10.5″ 3-disk locking converter with a 2500 RPM stall built by Precision Industries. I paid Keith over at RPM in Lewisville to swap it out.

I’ve been babying the truck for the last 2 months. It is nice to have firm shifts now. I can’t wait to get a little time and tune and tweek it a bit more, and of course dog on it like it was made to take!

5. Remember, half the people you know are below average.

Planter Box Rework

The planter box on the deck had a few issues. 1) There was only 4 inches of soil and 2) the grape vines came in contact with the soil, and they were constantly sending out roots that was robbing everything else of water and nutrients. By adding an extra 5/4 x 6 board and boxing around the vine penetrations, I solved both of these problems. I think I also solved the problem of having Dasher use the planter box as his look out point too, it is hopefully too tall for him to jump into now.

Hanging Strawberry Planter Box

This was on my to-do list for last weekend, but I didn’t get a round toit. I made it out of cedar fence pickets, waterproof glue, and staples. I think I can easily fit 16 plants in each box, which is about 2′ x 2′ in size.

Grow Light to Help the Little Ones

A little late, but I did rig up my grow light out in the garage so these seedlings would have a chance.

After only a few days, I can see a big difference in the plants. They look greener and stronger.

Another Raised Bed Created

For about 2 years I’ve been planning to use the little 3 foot x 20 foot patch of grassy area adjacent to the patio for a flower bed of some sort, but never built up enough wanto to get it done. Since I had a 4 day weekend, I figured I could get this done and more! I might have overestimated my speed again. I choose these skinny edgers from Home Depot. They are 18″ long each. I originally wanted to use the same edgers I used in the front yard, but I reconsidered, since these will take up less room and give me more room for growing food. A drawback is that I had to follow the slope of the land instead of leveling it up with the house. They were easy to put down, since I already had a good base from the patio pave stones.
