i don't get/never have got shit for mileage on my tires either, and they aren't cheap ones.
rebates, i started keeping envelopes in the car so when i get a store rebate (Menard's), i fill all that stuff out in the parking lot and drive by the post office and mail it. otherwise it stacks up in a pile on the desk and i miss the date.

Over the last couple weeks while procrastinating paper work, I got some real work done.
Finished soffit and fascia in brown around house and under both patios. Back leads in to pergola from 2013.
Put up double lights there because I nixed the light on front porch. There is no real access to it other than walking 100' through front yard. The wife wanted steps up to it, but I said fuck no! We can enter through garage or back door, front porch is my late night discrete sanctuary. An overlook point to the driveway under a Japanese maple and behind a rhododendron.
Instead of the porch light, I put double halogen spots aimed at driveway.
New simplified gutter to water collection area.
I screen the grit out.
New grill area. Might never see a grill, thinking smoker there now and grill in back. Everything connected by pavers, can wheel stuff around.
I could have bought a Mercedes for what I spent on paver and wall blocks over the last 3 years. Over 50 pallets. I'd rather have nice patios.
If I get up the motivation, I may wrap the windows in brown, would make them half and half like the other place. Actual brown windows cost double, wouldn't pay double when we got them here in '13.
Exterior is definitely upgraded. Some motherfucker was taking pics from the road the other day. County plate on car.
Fucking dix can't wait to reassess taxes.

Beautiful work, I love your attention to detail.
Edit: You should look at the Weber performer, we love ours. You can buy a bunch of different add ons for it and you can smoke with it too.

New smoker is next on my list too. There are too fuckin many of them. The one I'm looking at let's you load up biscuits for 8 hours of smoke, the smoke is independent of the oven temp so you can cold smoke stuff as well.
Every time I think about smoked beef brisket I start salivating.

Well tomorrow I am hiring a guy with a dozer to clear some property I bought my daughter so we can build a house. He's going to do 200' of drive, and parking , plus place 8" of chirt for base . Also clear the house site , the septic tank and leach field area. For around 1500.00$ it was going to cost me 2500.00$ to rent the equipment, and 400-500$ for materials.
I hope this guy knows what he is doing , it seemed like it but you just never know until he finishes.

When I was younger I worked for an excavator for awhile. It's amazing how much money is in it.
I'm sure the dude knows what he's doing. He's probably making a killing by charging so little

All of that for $1500??? Jesus Christ, if he is good at it, adopt him; that's easily a $5-7K bill o fare here

Or just beat him up and steal the dozer..
First you get the dozer, then you get the women.
Something like that

I hope he's does a good job . I hate fixing other people's f'ups , but I got good vibes from him so I think it's going to be good.
Yeah I know, kinda scares me. I was expecting to spend 3500.00$ and do all the labor myself. Of course I will still have to dig trenches and lay the pipe and shit . I also expect to have to put down some gravel after the base is packed good. But if he just moves the trees and does the base it's the deal of the week.
Also the trees are only about 15-20 years old so no big ass stuff to mess with. But it's about an half acre or more

See if he has a "stinger", one pass and trench is dug, assuming your soil isn't adobe

Fuck facebook. There's a very good reason I stay away from that crap.

Are you in a witness protection program? That seems like a very good reason

So I run over to help , and we became really good friends, he had a track loader and a dump truck. I worked for him for about five years off and on , clearing lots , remolding, rebuilding engines damn near anything for money . I miss the hell out of that old cuss, mean ass ,beer drinking , one legged ...........
