I had to come up with a gif for your and thought I would go with law enforcement and what better than Reno 911. It reminded me of the time you came to Ohio and took me and another dude. I still remember how the ankle and hand cuffs were to tight causing my feet and hands to go numb.
Smelling a lawsuit here! 😂 I can't figure out how to do a gif on here. 🤷‍♀️ Just a little fun information. So as not to upset the public we go undercover. Inmates are cuffed in the front. Using the front pocket on a sweatshirt to hide the cuffs. Most really want to come back home. And we wear loose clothing to hide our sidearms. The bathroom breaks are the most dangerous situation. I like the family ones. If the inmate is a PITA I refuse to remove restraints even then.

And the stewardesses always write down if there are other law enforcement carrying onboard. They use a napkin and discreetly give us their seat numbers.

Beautiful
Next one would look nicer. This is a learning experience how to do it. Many things I would modify and change.
All projects are like that. For a first one it is still a thing of beauty. And worth being a little sore for.

What a huge venue. I bet that was an experience!

I want to see Audio Adrenaline or Relient k again live. AA was fantastic in person.
@AlyciaMarie has been dying to go see Relient k again. Fun fact, the lead singer from them stage dived and jacked her shoulder up. She still has issues from time to time.

That reminds me I still need to buy a weed eater

So are you saying I need to build another cabin when we finish this one? Like when I am 70? I will need those popsicle sticks!

Goats work for weeds.
you have a grow house next door? 🤭
I have a lazy, depressed bum 2 doors down. He planted elms 15 years ago. They have taken over his entire yard. Lost a bear cub in there a few years ago. Seriously that is where the cub was hiding. About a yearling.

He jacked up Alycia's arm!? They'd have to change their name to Relient A or something. I'd have to get something out of the deal lol. That's a crazy cool story. I saw them once live and they had great energy.

Oh interesting! I will have to keep that in mind.

My problem is I just don't want to drop $200 on one, but it seems like all the good ones are $200
Price we pay to have a nice looking yard. And since I never use it I don't tell him which to buy.

I do have a plethora of hand tools and knee pads.

I have an EGO trimmer and Blower and interchangeable batteries. so much easier than dragging out the pull start Husq with a bunch of pulls and warm up time for short spurts. haven't started that in years. the EGO blower I use all the time for even blowing sawdust out of the garage. the fiskar is just for single weed clumps. I walkover to the neighbors and remove their dandelions for free so I don't get them.

Audio Adrenaline was a ton of fun! Especially the drum stage turning and going vertical.
