mother's day gloat

Ah, with most wives, including mine, that will only work as a Mother's Day present if you give her a card that says you're promising to run it. d8-)

I usually rent something like that every few years or so--our basement floor is about 3500 sf, with much of it covered in the 12 x 12 Armstrong Excelon ( vinyl comp ).

The worst part isn't the polishing-it's picking up the stripper.

Yep, this isn't for home use. We scrub the packing shed twice a week during harvest. The advance unit we have is TOTALLY shot. But we will also use it to do the shops, garage, and basement.

I haven't picked up a stripper since I was in my early 20s. I think I'd find it pretty exhausting now....

My Dad bought Mom a set of tires for her car for Mother's Day once. And ONLY once. lol....

The first time I used a wet-vac, my trainer had neglected to remind me to take out the bag.

Reminds me of a story an aquaintence once told me--but as it turned out, "she" was actually a "he"....

That can come as a surprise I've never had the misfortune to experience...

It was nice knowing you Karl. ;)

Since I've met both of you, all I can say is that you can't outrun her! :)

You better have the little box with the jewelery in your pocket as a backup plan...

Let's just hope she hasn't been talking to Lorena recently...

Maybe Julie will get really excited now. I just spotted a 24 volt charger at auction. I'm high bidder at $28 right now. The kid and I should have this machine running like new for about $600. These things go for about $6K.

Just to cover myself, I think a mother's day brunch and flowers are still in order.

So you're not going to give it to Julie, but sell it to a local commercial office cleaning company, right? RIGHT?

You Betcha! Those may preclude the Bobbitting, anyway. G'luck!
