OK where are you at, you make us worry about you when you don't show up
for a few days. Hope all is well.

 

[jollygreengiant]

I feel for you. We are dealing with my M-I-L who has turned into something of a closet hoarder: I HATE HOME SHOPPING CHANNELS! There is no lie, an entire room in her home filled with lock-n-lock storage containers, all brand new in the box. And she basically keeps ordering this mess.

You could try blocking those channels?

 

[shakenfake]

@jollygreengiant That is a road you don't want to go down. Taking stuff away from seniors is the worst. The amount of bitching they do afterwards just makes me want to kill myself.

 

[Strouty]

We are watching that in real time...

 

[Firstram]

At one time, I blocked the channels showing all the BS home improvement shows! Wife wasn’t happy about it!!!

 

[Strouty]

Most of those backyard do over shows are totally oblivious to the term frost, the rest are ignorant to the fact that copper spray pant and hot glue are not the answer to anything.

 

[walrus]

Any pics of all things basementy fix? Have a friend who is thinking of using them, like to see what it looks like

 

[FullRaceMerc]

Hmmm... Too many days without seeing Strouty.

I wonder if...

 

[Jayman17]

Hopefully he's not pinned under a derelict forklift.

 

[jollygreengiant]

I'm hearing of some heavy rains and flash flooding up that way? Hopefully not in Strouty's area.

 

[shakenfake]

It may wash away some of the stuff Strouty wants to get rid of. Probably work in his favor!

 

[walrus]

Maybe some rain but no flash flooding at least 120 miles north of Strouty

Not a good joke there...

 

[shakenfake]

Work ******* ***** without Strouty posting.

He has been on the board nearly every day the past few days so he is still out there.

[86turbodsl]

So you're saying you've been busy?

[Jeff Ivers]

Hope that is not discovery in a law suit!

 

[Prospecter]

That's a lot of hard work. Must feel good to see the progress.

 

[Strouty]

I wish that was the case Prospector, I have been going through boxes of files that had mice in them.

It has been a hot nasty nightmare and I still have about ten boxes of paperwork and another ten of photos to get through. A lot of stuff is trash, then there is random ****, then tangled in the middle is important stuff. I figure it will take me the rest of the year to get through everything, at least once it is all in the new office, I have AC. The house is roasting, at least I have the forklift that will lift high enough, so I don’t have to take one box at a time up the stairs. Two flights gets old quick in this heat.

I am slowly going to get myself back into the groove, so posting might pick up a bit, I just didn’t have anything interesting to post and any pictures would just be downright embarrassing, it looked more like a mouse habitat than anything.

I remember when we started this process, all plastic file boxes, all had lids, then when it turned into everything had to be out of the office ASAP, we ran out of local plastic file box supply, so we went with the cardboard bankers boxes. I was purposeful in placing the plastic boxes at the bottom and cardboard on the top, but as the office situation dragged on, we needed things and had to dig and my system went south. Once there were cardboard boxes on the floor, it was all over.

Right now I am trying to make a space for a table to go through the worst boxes, they have all kinds of things that we want to save, but everything needs to be cleaned before I bring it up to the office. I am also transferring anything that looks like it had mice in it into another box, making sure I don’t accidentally transfer a mouse to the new space. I am also dealing with rain, so probably not going to get much moved today.

 

[Prospecter]

Forced reorganization is never fun. So sorry. Carry on!

 

[kent_323is]

While forced organization/cleaning isn't fun, it's also a really good way to actually buckle down and get some necessary work done. Otherwise it's too easy to procrastinate and push it out to another day. In an emergency, like flooding, or in this case, mice, it's amazing how much work a guy can push through and get done.

Hopefully this is a short term necessary distraction, and then Strouty can get back to our normally scheduled content.... forklifts, knucklebooms, heavy duty trucks & trailers, and hopefully at some point, those neat payloaders!

 

[jack stand]

I can only imagine how many forklifts were (or could have been) drug home during this long period of silence.

Well now you're going to have Strouty all depressed thinking of the missed opportunity lol.

 

[Strouty]

Only brought in five more forklifts, no big deal...

[Strouty]

I was just kidding I am taking after Dad and decided to get a couple boats, you don’t even need to pay for them, people will let you take them for free!!!!

 

[Two Door]

I thought you kept your junk, sorry-"inventory", better organized than that….

What about forklifts? Asking for a friend....

I'm thinking at the very least you'd be forked.

 

[zanyad]

Speaking of...

Have you heard the one about the three guys who got captured by cannibals? The cannibals were going to torture and eat them and make canoes from their skins. However, each got one last request. First guy asked for a gun, shot himself in the head. Second guy asked for a knife, slit his wrists. Third guy asked for a fork and stabbed himself all over while shouting, "screw you and your canoes!"

 

[Jayman17]

What the hell is going on with this thread, Strouty where art thou? Nine days and no update, hope all is well.

 

[Strouty]

I am regrouping, nothing to worry about, yet...

 

[casmurbax]

I can't wait to see what you bought or got rid of....

 

[86turbodsl]

I'm going into withdrawals.
