it seems i was little premature in boasting about the excellent job i did erecting the umbrella clothes line. guess what happened when i hung some laundry on it. that's right, the son of a bitch fell over. after painstaking research, i must conclude that my hole wasn't deep enough. not being easily discouraged, i pulled the concrete plug out of the ground and deepened my favorite hole, then added some fresh concrete to the bottom of the hole. i wasn't sure if the old concrete plug would adhere to the new concrete at the bottom of the hole so i put some long screws half way into the plug with the hope that they would add strength to the bond:
yes, it is a rinky dink solution but i was too lazy to drive to home depot and buy more concrete as well as a new sleeve for the pole. if this two bit fix doesn't work i'll head to home depot and buy enough concrete to build an olympic sized swimming pool and a 3 foot sleeve. i'm not overly optimistic on my rinky dink solution. so it goes.
on a more pleasant note, shares in the world rasslin federation SANK LIKE A ROCK TODAY. i still hold vince mcmahon and hulk hogan responsible for ruining rassling. their main competitor, TNA rasslin, is also having financial problems and is having HAVING TROUBLE MEETING THE PAYROLL. maybe the muscle bound steroid era is coming to an end and we can get back to a bunch of fat guys making racial and homophobic comments in between kicking each other in the nuts.
i love you sons of bitches.

I don't see how it could fall over without uprooting the whole sleeve and plug, unless the pole snapped off at the base. Even the simplest damn thing needs an engineering degree!
it wasn't deep enough and i think the fact that the hole was round rather than contributed to my demise.
Good luck with your second attempt. Look forward to hearing about the update. Bummer about rasslin. Haven't watched in ages but will always have a soft spot in my heart because I grew up watching it and loved it as a kid. Have a good one, BP.
Many of my projects go, "Find the weak link and fix the fucker."
But why is the cement above ground? dig a fucking hole.
the clothes line is on hold.
i had a very nasty fall off the bike today.
Hahahahaha!
You ran your bike into that clump of shit you created?
I posted my laughter before refreshing to see that you had another bike accident. Perhaps it's time for a slower bike...
lost lots of skin on my knee and hand and maybe a slight concussion. there was lots of blood so i got tons of sympathy from several asians but almost zero sympathy when i made it home.
Maybe you should get a good electric scooter like mine, they are closer to the ground and fun to ride around on.
Good grief... no helmet?
Royce said to over medicate until you bleed.
I hardly look at any project easy or hard.
Usual something goes wrong, on what scale.
Since Bill C brought up the scooter. One of my client had her stolen.
Try to explain that to medicare. They couldn't find it in there book of rules and regulations
after i got things cleaned up on saturday i made a pot of coffee and sat out in the sun and got nature's golden rays to dry things out to start the healing process and it worked very well. the bleeding was mostly stopped by sunday afternoon.
Dora, my scooter is a two wheeler, not one of those mobility rigs.
You bled until the next day? Is your blood as thin and booze?
it was gash that should have had stitches but i didn't want to sit in the emergency ward for a few hours.
We have a clinic that two doctors run here and I would go there for stitches before I went the ER.
Superglue!
Or a little black powder.
a little black powder for the income tax people would be nice. the fuckers want more money, again!
Serves you right for having money, I'm a fucking bum so they don't want mine.
The king makes a most excellent point.
Cool hand Luke makes an excellent point also.
Billy, my friend, how long have you had a gash, mate, and how long do you believe that this vagina of yours has needed stitching? :-P
To You & Yours, I Wish You a Happy & Peaceful 'Starry' Night!
Take Care & Stay Lucky!
Peace,
Steve...
