"John McClane: You know what you get for being a hero? Nothin'. You get shot at. You get a little pat on the back, blah, blah, blah, attaboy. You get divorced. Your wife can't remember your last name. Your kids don't want to talk to you. You get to eat a lot of meals by yourself. Trust me, kid, nobody wants to be that guy.
Matt Farrell: Then why you doing this?
John McClane: Because there's no body else to do it right now, that's why. Believe me, if there were somebody else to do it, I'd let them do it, but there's not. So we're doing it.
Matt Farrell: Ah. That's what makes you that guy. "

Words To Live By
"The era of small government is over ... government has to be more proactive, more aggressive." ( Tim Pawlenty 2006)

"You're just petty politicians, who'd sooner sign onto the wisdom of a tyrant in another country, than the demands of ticked off voters in your own." (Neil Cavuto June 2008)

“I didn’t question her patriotism. I questioned her judgment.” Mr. Cheney went on: “The point I made and I’ll make it again is that Al Qaeda functions on the basis that they think they can break our will. That’s their fundamental underlying strategy, that if they can kill enough Americans or cause enough havoc, create enough chaos in Iraq, then we’ll quit and go home. And my statement was that if we adopt the Pelosi policy, that then we will validate the strategy of Al Qaeda. I said it, and I meant it.” (Vice President Cheney NYT Feb. 2007)

"A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers. (Ronald Reagan March 1, 1975)

"Oh, no! First of all, if I took one vote away from a serious candidate, it would be a sin." (Al Franken Time Magazine, 9/1/03)

Weekend Update


What a view, too bad that was my only glimpse of it.
I just want to say this, things haven’t been going that great.

I went to the cabin to finish extending the eves on one side, and roof that one side. Eves- Check! Roof- S&@t, not done.

Things went great doing the eves. And that was where I should have stopped. I rapped that up about 1 PM on Saturday, and it was blazing hot.


But no, like a fool I carried on with the plan. Oops.


Well if these were your shingles you would too.

So now I’m tearing 2 layers of old shingles off in 90 degree heat. Lotsa water!!!

That’s just half the shingles. It was too dark to get a shot of the whole pile.


So now it’s 5PM and I have no shingles on half the roof. Crapamundo!

So, I tarped it up. The roof is now blue. God willing, there will be no rain for 2 days. I’m heading back up there tomorrow morning to finish. Might as well have worked out this way. I only got half the drip edge I needed. I was really an idiot savant this weekend. Thank goodness my boss owns the cabin, so she’s willing to let me have the day off to finish.

All in all, when you’re roofing and you don’t get hurt that is a good roofing job. Every bone and muscle in my body aches however. Carrying bundles of shingles that weigh in at almost 90 or 100 pounds per, can’t help. 22 bundles, 1900 pounds, and only half of the new ones are up on the roof. But all the old ones are on the ground. Arrrrgggghhh. I should of hired someone.

Word to the wise, you can’t roof alone in a weekend. Go out and buy all the tools you can. Good ones, even ones you don’t know that you need. Just go to Home Depot or Sears and get one of everything. Get enough tar paper and drip edge for everywhere!!!! Bring lots of water, and drink til you can’t drink no more. And then, before you start, hire a contractor.

Other than that, Thanks Swiftee for taking on the Euro trash, and it seems Eva might be back at RF. Goes unsaid since I did chat with Bachmann last week.

That is all for now. I’ll check in some time soon.
