Mounted a 65' 12AWG electrical reel on Saturday. The end of the extension cord reaches all the way to the end of my driveway! lol Apparently you can run multiple grinders or a saw at the same time.

Also mounted a 50' air hose reel. I'm still waiting on the last of my air chuck parts to come in. Gonna have something cool rigged up to show you guys.
The hose reel was an absolute PIA to mount. I hope the person who designed the mounting bracket has his engineering license revoked...

Them and Paris Hilton makes a very strong argument for socialism where whores and hard workers would be paid the same.

I finished this in March, just haven't had time to get a picture and post it. I built the table and bench. Bought chairs from Ikea and made them match the rest of the set. Then we painted the room and added the beadboard around the entire room. Oh, and removed the can light that was there, and put a real fixture in.

Table looks nice, we had the same light or similar one like that in our previous house

Speaking of Paris Hilton. While in Hollywierd the wife wanted to do the TMZ Tour. It was actually kinda fun, tour guide ensured that. Anyhow she asked trivia questions as we went through the tour. We went past some hotel and she asked what sex tape was filmed there. I replied, maybe a bit too quickly, that it was Paris Hiltons. Yes my wife was not happy I knew the answer.. but to be honest it was over an hour into the tour and I was bored and just blurted out an answer and I was right. She said it made me look like an old weirdo. :( But hey, I got it right!! :)

Sometimes you should just stop. lol I was doing the whole mow the grass/edge/etc today. Wife was driving the mower, I was trimming bushes with my new Echo hedge trimmer and I was getting kinda hot and tired. I should have just stopped and came inside to cool off. No no.. got to finish. Ended up cutting my internet cable. lol Didn't notice. Then I went to edge the yard and my weed eater is done.. TroyBilt POS. ZERO compression. Could probably get it fixed but it sucks. Gas cap leaks if you turn it sideways. Bought a new gas cap from them and it leaks as well. Fuck this thing. Went to get online to see if there was any sales this weekend. Hey the internet is out. Then it hit me. Dumbass. So I spliced it and called up internet provider. They will be out Friday to fix it correctly... ie, run a whole new line into the house and hopefully they will put some protection over the thing as well. Gonna pay the neighbor kid to finish edging and I'll get a new one in the upcoming weeks.

I have really enjoyed my electric string trimmer. No more 2 stroke gas can or oil to keep around.

I use the premixed Trufuel or the Stihl version of it. My blower and edger runs soooo much better than using crap with ethanol in it. A lot of the time they start on the 2nd or 3rd pull.
