Well, they probably wouldn't hassle him so much but every January he has to re-do his fence, as it always winds up without the supports....

It seems as though they get picked off every year during "post season"...

I heard that while driving back from the hardware store with new fence posts in the back of his truck he got a ticket for "tailgating. Party" decorations were also in the back of the truck.

And what a party it was.....Uncle Loren drank so much that when he went to look behind the house, all he could see was the "back field in motion"....

But when he paid for those posts he thought he was overcharged so he did a 'quaterback sneak'.

Harvey,

Some of the posts, hung so far off the back of the truck that he attached a "yellow flag" to them.

David,

The biggest problem was the truck itself. It was so overloaded that the engine would stop if it hit any raised areas in the road.....


I guess when it's loaded, it just can't hit a "bump and run"....

Steve,

Sometimes, older trucks have a tendancy for the spark plugs to "foul."

I'm sure he wanted to have the posts deep in the ground, but I don't know if he reached that "goal. Posts" like that aren't easy to install.

His wife wasn't too happy about him taking plates out there either. She found a yellow, white, and "orange bowl" full of nails in the garden. It was near the roses, so she yelled at him about the "rose bowl".

Dave,

He got the posts installed, but not without it taking it's toll on him...he's rather sore and has a "stiff arm"....

Now he can't untie his laces when he sits down so he has to just "kickoff" his shoes....

Dave,

Next time, I would suggest that he not "parade" around with the bowls.

I'm sure he's been forgiven, since last time I saw Loren, he was in a "huddle" with Enna.

Uncle Lauren had a mishap installing the posts, fell flat on his 'tail. Back' in the house Enna determined it was not a broken tail-bone but a bruise in the lower 'Lombardi' area. (Is that too much of a stretch? Naw, just some 'warm-up calisthenics'.)

Harvey,

Is it true that you're a "lineman" for the county and you drive the main road?

Dave,

I can't remember. I'll have to look at the "instant replay."

David,

I see it was quiet over the weekend....not for Uncle Lroen though. The Condo Association once again had him arrested when he tried trimming the hedges in his front yard......they have some tough by-laws and he was penalized for "clipping".....

Steve,

I feel bad for Loren, but you can't blame the home owners' association for "holding" to their by-laws.

David,

Yes, they even made him remove his new staircase...a shame too, it was a "perfect spiral".....

He'll get them back when they have the Grand Opening "reception" to be held at the clubhouse....he's going to "spike" the punch!

Steve,

I saw the architect's original plans for that staircase. Very nice!

Unfortunately, someone spilled water on the original draft, causing it to wrinkle.

A little help from a "Grid Iron" brought it back to its original condition.

David,

Yes, there were quite a few corrections on that original draft. They just covered up the old stuff with a jar of "wideout"....

All of the problems had Uncle Loren pulling his hair out...but the good news is he no longer has to worry about his "split ends".....

Steve,

I know how Loren feels about his hair. As for myself, the "Browns" are rapidly being replaced by gray.
