OK - whew!;) Besides koalas smell like eucalyptus!:D

I'd be all over it if I weren't doing AUS DO.

So, I take it that he's not much in to fishing w/live bait, etc.!;):p

Gator = Yummeh
Rattlesnake = OK

I may have to reconsider. Minty-fresh steaks!

And they're evil.

I was mostly just bored today and looking for a reason to use my blowtorch.

The busted pipe is actually the responsibility of the shareholder in that apartment so the cost would go to them, not to the CoOp. The one guy has offered to pay me but I doubt I'll ask for more than a reimbursement of the hard costs (~$6) for the flux and some sand paper to go at the pipes to clean it up. My guess is that it would have been a ~$250 job from a licensed plumber, if not more. It also probably would have taken 20 minutes instead of 2 hours.

The skylight fix is more critical to the health of the CoOp and also a much harder job. It involves removing the security fences from the skylights, getting the old caulk off and applying new caulk. In total it is about 100 linear feet of caulking on four skylights. I'm not looking forward to doing that one for free. I may negotiate to do it at the going "super" rate which is rather low but also fair to the CoOp.

It is work that we'd probably have our super do if the one hadn't abandoned us during his annual retreat to Thailand by deciding not to come home. OF course he told us this the day before he was scheduled to return, even though he had made the plans weeks before. It wasn't like we were paying him while he was gone so he basically screwed us badly. Plus he took most of the tools with him (or put them in storage somewhere), even the ones that probably weren't his. I had to buy a new caulk gun today because he took the other 6 with him when he left. Oh, and the temp replacement guy we have is moderately incompetent. He gets the trash out on the correct days, but other than that not worth too much.

I know I've had gator -- quite a while ago!:cool:

I was the one skewering the live crickets at the fishing tourney.

No weekend trips for me. I am in a traning class all weekend.

I was very surprised to find that croc looked and tasted very different from gator. The croc meat was very flaky, and looked like grouper. It had a very light taste (took on the flavor of the chilli dipping sauce).

Who got it?

I've got GEG all weekend and most of next week.


I should visit it next time I'm there. :-:

But they do look cute when they're sleeping!;):p

Close?

Never mind, I thought it was a full milestone, not a half one
