The Battle of Richmond, Day 2

Today started with blueberry pancakes, yeah I should have known that it was a setup.

I was put on the sanding detail. Pretty easy until you understand that the sanding detail is where the "short bus people" are put. I did this until I felt that I was ahead of the painting crew enough to not be missed.

Joey was trying out his new yard equipment and I thought that I would help. He looked to be about finished and I thought I could bask in his glory by helping. Well that all changed when the Sargent-Major Audra came through and declared that the job was no where near finished. An hour or so later we passed inspection.

During this work we had at least on neighbor come by and in the course of conversation mention her, "Carbon Footprint".

Libba had declared war on all things growing in the yard so we had to clear all of that up. By this time Joey and I are whacking down anything that gets in our way, even if it is not officially on their property.

At the end of the day we had most things painted and an admirable pile of limbs and junk piled up. One follower of Obama came by and asked if we wanted to hire him to help. The response was short, "Where the hell were you at 8 AM?"

We are now finished, most of us cleaned up, trying to out wait each other on who is going to make supper.

Maybe my camera has enough battery for video.
