I had planned on taking the Audi there, but there's no fricking way now. Bunch of idiots.

Came home Saturday to see 2 more massive branches in the driveway, luckily the cars weren't there, if they were it would have been bad. We pick the Jetta up today, the Audi will hopefully go in this week.

Now I have to get this tree sorted out. Anyone got a chainsaw???

Sam, I have 2 chainsaws (live in former jungle). Let me know if you need one.

I don't trim trees though, I just cut em down

I appreciate that Rick I'm trying to find someone to do it for me for the same reason

I'd better check my homeowner's insurance to see if I have a dumbass clause in there before I try it though

You would think the course "Internal Combustion Engines" would be interesting...

So far I know everything she's talking about.

Road Rage.... bumper to bumper traffic for the most part, this old man, probably 65, in a Subaru tries to cut me off(clearly no room in front of me, but the Mitsubishi behind me was letting people in, ~100 yard clearance). I give a quick beep, nothing over done or rude, just enough to say I'm here. He rolls his window down and starts throwing every curse word in the book at me. I will try to demonstrate, although these words are not part of my standard vernacular. " You mother f@$&%ng son of a B&$>h!!!! What the f+@k is your problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I simply replied "There is plenty of room behind me sir." "I know that you GD MFing SOB! The s&%t I should do right now.... etc etc"

He ended up getting behind me, still stop and go traffic. While completely stopped, he stuck his head out the window and yells, "F&$K YOU!!!!!" I responded with a smile in my rear view and thumb up high in the air.

Needless to say, my day wasn't ruined, but this guy needs to be institutionalized. I'm afraid for people's lives at this point.
