When I'm not baiting lads, I don't exist.

Baiting is taking a lot of time right now . But one thing i make time for is riding my old motorbike , it's very relaxing . Once i'm riding my mind goes blank and i'm happy as a child with it's new christmas present . I also got an old car that needs some work .

Hey

Well, 90% of my characters only exist for lads, apart from that they exist in Moleskines or similar cheaper draft books Very Happy

Maybe one time I´ll tell them Very Happy

Music, reading, cycling, radio, tennis, oh, a lot of other has-been stuff, apart from that, irritating teenagers.

For the last two months, I've been working 18 hour days on the weekdays and 12 hour days on the weekend. I go home get a few hours sleep and go back to work. I did not realize how screwed up this office was until now. I thought I could have it straightened out in 30 days but now I'm still looking at another couple of months to get things running smoothly. I've already had a meeting with the Governor, two Senators and a Representative and I'm still scheduled to meet with the head of the State Police next month. And to top it off, there is an Audit coming up next month. I take over an office that is already over budget and now I can't buy anything until we amend the budget next month. Where's my damned Xanax?????

Off time? Surely you jest.....

^ 'sleep' would have been a much shorter reply, and would have saved a lot of time .. Wink

When I'm not piloting a rocketship to Mars or or averting an asteroid collission with our mother planet I model underwear. Not real big ones just little ole things in some sort of cat print preferrabley leopard. And dig, I like to dig. Big holes, little holes, ditches, caves, wells and tunnels....dig, dig and dig some more.

I like geocaching, and my geocaching podcast. I also do Eastern Star. You can't think about your problems while you're memorizing a speech.

I only shoot a dog when they definitely don't have had an owner in a long time and when I can't approach/catch/lure them to bring them to the dog pound at 60 miles distance...and I haven't been at a gas station since I moved here, life is sweet Laughing

You know, there are rescue groups. Next time someone reports a dog for killing, maybe you could reach out to one? Rescuers will drive to the back 'o beyond for a dog, especially if it's gonna be shot or run over & left in a ditch otherwise. I know I have. In the meantime, maybe suggest your neighbors ponder this bright idea

They can't expect you to keep walking those stray dogs SIXTY Exclamation

miles (120 round trip) to the pound. Even if you are retired with nothing better to do, that's quite an imposition.

it's 80 miles to the nearest Tim Horton or anything known to normal people, like a hospital or a main bank.
I drive for free, so 60 miles is just a 2 hour drive and with endless spare time no problem.
They don't stick around, those dogs, two hours later they could be ten miles further and the terrain isn't that flat that you could keep track of them. Nearest SPCA claims they have no money for a trip like that and a search, so if I can't get to them (the dog), they're gone.
Neighbors don't have Internet, they are already happy when their cell phone works 15% of the time. Even if they hook up by telephone it's so slow that it isn't worth their trouble to go online and download something like that (didn't see it yet, but it will be in the high bytes) A $0.03 22 shell or a quick turn with the steering wheel is cheaper, easier and faster.

I must have written that wrong or you misunderstood me.

is what I wrote.
We're RURAL, we drive, my nearest neighbor lives at 1 mile distance and even if I walk over there, he drives me home, he uses a quad to get to his truck Laughing

If I catch the dogs, they ride in a covered box of a pickup to the dog pound, a fenced in concrete slab, from there, once a week (if any are caught) they're brought to the SPCA in town and probably put down anyway, no clue.

Thanks, you're learning me new words, imposition, I like that Laughing

Just downloaded that vid, don't get it, "Bob Barker's Final Show Credits" ?
What use would that be to my neighbors or dogs in general ? And who is that Bob, I don't watch television here.

^^Oh never mind. I reckon you'd be more interested in chatting about how to get you some more giddyup for your tractor. So's you can hunt down them dogs quicker & git 'em with that 3cent ammo of yours. Are you taking visitors @ the bunker? I tend to get lost tho so do me a favor...get hold of a real big sign would you and walk down the road, I wanna quickly jerk the wheel...I wouldn't want to make a mistake and hit the wrong dog. Wink

Yeah, love you too.
I don't own a tractor Smile

you keep reading the wrong things about me Laughing

No bunker either, just a house and I don't walk like I wrote ^, but if.. you're always welcome here, do bring a 4x4 and please give me your phone number , I call you and you can come and get the dogs I can't catch, no problem.
I'm beginning to think he promised you a cellphone too Laughing
