You have only been gone a week

Hope you took the job and you're making money

What did you miss ? Well, the thread that got locked had a very nice pic of a C4 and a hot chick in it.... I may get threatened if I post it again.....

I did cut the grass last weekend, my birdhouse was done 3 months ago

Grass, mine is burned out. No rain for a long time. Plus my son ran into the deck with the tractor last time he cut it. Bent sheet metal

I missed the thread that got locked

No birdhouse to be built.

Did you get the job?

Check with your travel agent, there are two options. Ether buy a round trip ticket or buy a one way coach ticket then contact some DA in the states that is running for reelection and confess to some old murder case then you get a free business class return trip with armed guards.
