Hal calls me last night...    I need a truck tomorrow.

Ok..

Going to pick up a 15'x15' tent at Armbrusters.   It's used, and a heck of a deal.

Ok..



So I roll there after work..    Thinking, Ok - this should fit easily, and the poles are probably collapsible.

The loading bay door rolls open (should have been my first clue) and 2 guys and I stand there and look:

1.  at my Ranger.
2.  at the FIFTEEN FOOT poles they have laying there.

They turn to each other and say - well, this will be interesting.






Good thing I picked up 6 cases of water today, and the canopy itself weighed a good 50-60 pounds.  It all went on the ends stuck down under my cargo bar.   Couple straps to tie it all together, and we rolled off into Rush Hour traffic..  (fortunately, most of it was going the other way)


So our first day at the Circus, and we get assigned to the Insane Clown Posse.

This thread brings the beginning of a song to mind by Three Dog Night
Bacon is the Crack Cocaine of the Food World.

Be careful about calling yourself and EXPERT! An ex is a has-been, and a spurt is a drip under pressure!

Wouldn't it be easier for him to just finish the kitchen instead of starting over in a tent?

If Hal calls and wants you to pick up a tiger, top hat and tail coat its time to change the number ;D Cool tent though!!!

I plead ADHD.
Heck, I suffered from it before it was even INVENTED.

Hal, Squirt - you got it backwards. You are supposed to run away and join the circus, not bring the circus home with you.
"It ain't worth missing someone from your past- there is a reason they didn't make it to your future."

Don't curse the storm, learn to dance in the rain.

Gus, I'll let Hal field that one..

Pretty sure he used to Bark for the Yak Woman.

And I've seen him deal Three Card Monte.   I doubt that he learned that in Engineering school..

Heck it's a circus around my house most of the time...I guess now I need a tent?       ;D

The fight isn't over until the winner says it is.

This is just what I would expect from a couple of clowns anyway.  :D :D :D
I like to walk threw life on the path of least resistance. But sometimes the path needs a good kick in the ass.
