Women.... the wife’s friend was over and was bragging how her husband of two years bought her flowers. Wife started acting all pissy. I asked her friend what she was so cranky about?
Her friend said she was mad because I never buy her flowers.
I was like “I didn’t even know she sold flowers!”

My buddy laughed, I laughed, we’re in the garage now...

Were out here working in the rain and my buddy just fell thru the ceiling joists

Me neither...thinks...fell through, joist hits the nuts,ish...boots fall off.....?...

[SassyFrass]

Maybe an inside joke? Maybe he'll come back in and enlighten us.
Unless, of was one of those statements just to intrigue folks and get folks talking? If so, well played sir... well played.

No joke he fell... he hurt his self a bit so we quit

[Durhommer]

Sipping on some year old char oaked all bran/corn sugar shine it's not bad

[CoogeeBoy]

Well, at last I got rid of my old girlfriend, Loraine.
Got a new girlfriend now, Claire Lee.
It was a terrible breakup though, got a bit messy but its ok now, I can see Claire Lee now Loraine has gone.

Didn't realize he got hurt and would never make light of that, my apologies. Getting hurt on the job in construction ain't no joke. It isn't a paper cut or cramped fingers from running the keyboard all day. However the "joke" was somewhat a play on the way it was described. The boots went through what I assumed was the ceiling during a demo job, leaving the person standing there in their stocking feet. Something similar to watching guys work in the mud with rubber boots. Some days it's so sticky you can't keep your feet inside.

My apologies for the confusion and making light of a more serious situation than I realized.

It's new construction we were laying subflooring for the second floor he walked on a loose scrap of plywood and down he went


+ sorry I didnt crop the pic

[SassyFrass]

Durhommer, hope your coworker has recovered and yall are back to work getting that in the dry. Walking on slick joists and rafters ain't easy.
Bent quite a few nails in my time. Until I discovered framing nailers. Awesome invention. Now I only bend a nail once in awhile instead of all the time. But we wont talk about how easy it seems to be to get jams, double feeds, etc... 16 and 18 gauge brad nailers are great too. But i have to borrow them from SOH when I need to pin something together. Probably gonna have to plumb the shop for multiple air outlets, cause shes talking about an air fired stapler now or electric stapler.
Still house started out being planned as 20x40 metal pole barn but turned into a 20x40 and 20x40 "L" shaped , log siding with porches, lofts, etc... and the SOH has her own shop in one side.
We call it the shop, not a still house, just so we dont say the wrong thing around the wrong person. You say still house here and everyone knows exactly what you mean.

I wish I could read all 205 pages "The Liars Bench" what a great idea!

[SassyFrass]

It's all Truckinbutch's fault that HD has a liars bench.
Here at home little local store has one and then the courthouse in town has a couple benches the old fellers sit at, tell stories, trade knives and watch things.
PS: Quite a few of us have contributed over the years. So we owe a big thanks to TB, for starting this.

I wish I could read all 205 pages

Why not get started now......some interesting reading in those pages.
Probably learn a whole lot about everything but distilling though.

Darn near caused a national catastrophe from my recollections. I think that ol monkey is still out there causing crap to this day. Flatwood's acid pissing dog was a mean one too.
