Your brother may have a Chicago obsession...

I am a fan of the performer grill though - impressed he's rockin two of them.

Albino squirrel is cool.  Hope he does not get picked off too soon. It is kinda hard for them to hide.  I wonder if they hide during the hours of bright sunlight because it hurts their eyes.

Yes he does, Weber's out of Palatine included.
I'm a fan too, the gas assist and table is a nice upgrade.

First time I've seen an albino anything outdoors.  This was a couple of hours before sunset.

They say deer are bad luck, but I'd still draw on one. It all goes in the freezer,  and it would be a really cool mount.

Like you said, better me picking it off first. Hahaha

My oldest goes to school in Platteville,WI and there are several albino deer on campus. There is a huge cemetery right in the middle of campus and they hangout there. They seem to know they are safe there.

Leaving FedEx after having some rubs and sauces packed and headed out for a Friday delivery.

Congrats. Do you get an extra week of vacation at 15yrs? 

Yes!  I did.  Picked up that and some extra sick and personal time too.  Have 5 weeks vacation time.  Cannot remember how much sick and personal time total now.  

Lucky dog.  I maxed out 16 years ago and it's only 4 weeks vacation.  Plus 7 sick and holidays.  My last anniversary they gave me a whiskey decanter.  I keep that in the office.  At least the pay could be worse.

My brain just scattershot into 7 directions on why this would be bad.  Or good.

Umm...I wouldn't shoot an albino.  Even if it were a monster 12 or. I live near White Deer Twp PA.  As legend has it white deer were sacred by the Indians that inhabited this area.  The story goes that If you killed a white deer you would die before the year pssses.  Some young "rebel" punk Indian want to prove the chief wrong and went out and killed one.  Yup...story has it he died within a year.  So...fast coward to current time.  A friend of mine who was a huge archery hunter was seeing this albino.  I told him the story and to let it go.  He shot it a few days later.  8 months later he was killed in a freak vehicle accident on his way to work.  I'm not shooting one.  Lol

@kl8ton... WOW !!! That looks scary, glad it ended okay for you..

@bgebrent

Thanks guys.  It all happened in slow motion.  Mower stopped moving forward because two tires lost contact with the ground.  I was looking around to see which ones were spinning (4wd).  My leaning towards the ditch side probably made the little steer tire make contact and with the motor weight on those little tires, it just slid down the bank.  I am glad the motor wasn't completely submerged in water.  It started right back up when i got it out.  My brother in low stopped to help me.  I will not mow so close to the edge anymore.

Some wangs from last night.

Thanks @nolaegghead. 

I have to pick out my gift.  I was browsing a couple months ago and there was a nice Boos chopping block available.  I go back now when I am eligeble, and it's gone.  They have a Wustoff knife and bamboo cutting board that I'm thinking of getting.  Not too fond of bamboo, but I can find a use for it.  

The Nambe carving board looks neat too, never heard of them.  

Then I need a set of speakers for my new desktop, those Bose ones look pretty good.  

These are just a few items that peaked my interest.  Leaning heavily towards the knife though.

Please be careful buddy.  Your kids need you!  Mowers on embankments are dangerous, and especially those type.  Get your weedeater out take a few more mins to get the job done so you can go home.

 How do you like it?  I have a Shun Santoku that I like.  Thinking of getting that of all things and appears to be one of the better values.  Plus, I don't believe it's a bad thing to have more good knives around.  

That carving cutting board is nice, but not my style.  I'm a hillbilly.  But it's handmade apparently and sells for around $130 give or take.

Matt, I have that knife and bought a second one for the lake place. It's Nichole's favorite knife. I like it a lot. Cutting board looks nice.
