Woah. Deja vu. I could swear that... oh... nevermind...
Good night all!
Wait!
Wait?
Did you get any calls today about the stuff that T was doing with the dumptruck?
No! And I talked to Dad, but it was at about ten in the morning and he wasn't home.
But it is my favorite gun.
I'll wait here for a good dump truck story :~D
Yeah, I am going to sleep too, good night everyone.
This morning when I was on the way out... pulling out of the driveway and there's a big dumptruck up at T's pouring dirt... OVER the hill, down toward our driveway. T had put some stupid and fugly plywood up between the trees. Clearly an insufficient embankment. He looks like he's trying to build his landing spot for the stratocruiser out over the edge of where the bank is now.
But he thinks that some plywood between the trees is all he needs to hold the bank back? A freshly dumped bunch of soft dirt?
Not to even get started on how freaking ugly the plywood is.
It stretches the boundaries of stupid. If he parks the stratocruiser on that, we're going to find it upside down in the driveway after it rolls down the hill.
How could dad fail to mention THAT!
Egads! What did dad do?
I am completely ~stuned~.
ohfercryinoutloud!
He hadn't seen it... this was about noon when I left. Dad wasn't back yet.
I almost said something to T myself... but I was already on the phone with a crisis back east and couldn't really stop.
No kidding... and I have far more tolerance for the misdeeds of T than Dad does... and this one pushes me over the limit. I can't even imagine what Dad's gonna do when he notices it.
Well... I think I'm bailing out now. Lemme know if you hear anything in the morning. The shouting should be audible from there.
I thought it was brassy enough of T to dump his yard clippings of the bank for us to appreciate. He can't just bury those trees deeper. He'll kill them.
Is this fallout from the new survey? Did you see a new line up there?
I didn't see any new markings. But it boggles the mind that he fails to see the liability he exposes himself to of *creating* a new and unstable embankment above somebody else's property.
That is just *plain* stupid. Part of me wants to just let him do it. Let him collapse the bank, crush my garage, and lose his stratocruiser in the bargain. I've got little to lose that his estate wouldn't be able to pay for.
~smiles~
I think this one has to be stopped.
Good night.
~shakes head~
