The dreaded hedge haircut recommenced today. My wife and I always argue over how to do this and I’m a stubborn guy so I refused to take her advice. And I was cantankerous about the whole project anyway.

This hedge trimmer is not terribly heavy but it’s completely unbalanced. It’s one of my least favorite jobs.

The hedge is like 15 feet wide and I use a large hedge trimmer to get as much as I can for the ground. Then we back the pickup and I put an extension (heh heh I said I use an extension) on the trimmer to get another 3 ft on it and give the middle a haircut. But my wife and I argued over the best way to do this.

But she had a best idea: take a piece of plywood and use it as a step on top of the hedge to get even further in (heh heh). It worked like a charm. I was basically using the plywood like a small surfboard.


Listen to your wife, W!!! She knows what she's talking about!
 
A little gentle humour to start the week

Last Sunday morning I got up at 6am to go fishing.

I got out of bed very quietly, got dressed into my fishing clothes and made my sandwiches.

I went into my garage, hooked up the boat trailer up and started driving out in the heavy rain. I turned the radio on to hear that the wind and rain would be relentless all day, so I thought, bugger this I am going back home to bed.

I drove home and snuck back into bed cuddling up to my wife's back; now with a different hope for the morning, and whispered, "The weather out there is just awful."

My lovely wife of 10 years replied, "yeah, can you believe my idiot husband is out fishing in this?"

And that's how the fight started....

--------------------------------------------------
My wife sat down beside me on the couch as I was channel surfing with the remote.

She then proceded to say, "Oh, what is that on the TV?"

I replied, "Dust."

And that's how the fight started...

--------------------------------------------------
My lovely wife kept dropping hints about what to get her for her upcoming birthday.

She told me, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 100 in about 4 seconds."

I went out and bought her a bathroom scale.

And that's how the fight started......
 
Look at the MERV number, and get something similar. If you know the size and MERV number, you can order on line and get a case of them pretty cheap. (A lot cheaper than local hardware stores)
Higher MERV rating = filters smaller dust. Too high and it plugs up too soon, to coarse and it doesn't filter well. I think I'm running merv 11 or merv 13, depending on which furnace. Just use the number your furnace guy selected for you.
MERV number????? 🤯🤯🤯

One (or some) of you guys needs to start a school for single ladies of a certain age who need to do boy jobs around the house! 🙄😖

You get good, restful sleep tonight, Likes! We're here when you need us! You'll do just fine tomorrow. 🫂💞🥰
 
I believe it's just before B2's wakeup call. I've caught up and need to scamper off to bed. After I brush my teeth (crosses task off the list) and take a shower (crosses another task off the list).

For those of you looking at Monday morning workday, my condolences. For those of you who, like me, are retired, "It’s Monday??" 🤣🤣
