after 57 years maybe it's time for that refresh. I certainly would want to be accepting your crap for that long.

Maybe it's time to upgrade to that bidet you've been longing for.
We have well water so maybe Iron-Out is worth a try. We've been married 57 years so Donna's been accepting my crap that long . . . why not the toilet?

Because a ring around the toilet might make people think the toilet needs cleaning. Have you tried CLR?

We tried that in the past for something and it wasn't that great.

HAH!!
We have been dry for quite a while without a whole lot of rain. In fact,our weather forecast has a red flag warning for fire hazard.
It's fall and we have lots of leaves on the ground and we're in a heavily wooded area.
Once upon a time folks would dispose of their leaves by burning them but between the environmental side of it, not so much anymore.
Bolton has a formal burn season from Jan 1 until April 1 and you MUST have a permit to do so.

My neighbor decided that rule doesn't apply to him. He had a nice big pile going with great huge billowing clouds of smoke coming off of it.
I wandered over and mentioned " Gee do you know you have to have a permit for that?
" oh yeah I know."

So we're bullshitting for a few minutes when he looks up the driveway and sees the cop coming down the driveway with the lights going. "oh ****!"
hah hah hah So the fire dept arrived shortly after the cop and then another cop and the lieutenant. Now the whole police force is here. Did I mention we're a small town where not much goes on, with a volunteer fire dept.
They're putting it out for him.
I am sure he will get a service call charge for that.

But the reality is it is a really stupid thing to be doing. One small, burning, errant leaf catching an updraft can carry 20-30 feet away.
We have leaves 6-8 inches deep in places. If that gets going, it can make quite a mess quickly.

If there is a drought in your area just set up a MG meet. Problem solved.

Took the Perkymobile out for a spin today. There is always one or two people who want to speed by me like a mini race. Today it was a Volvo SUV.

It's funny when people pull up next the ML63 at a light thinking they are going to squeeze by.
not many folks expect a 520 hp SUV to be coming off the line. Its rather quick, 0-60 at 4.7 seconds it will beat an S2000.
