    Filled my pickup full of axels today

    .....Not from vehicles though, lol.

    Here we have "toters" for our trash cans. I guess the trash guys retired a BUNCH of em. Well, my buddy that works for SSC (Sanitary Services Company) dropped off 2 toters FULL of the axels. Now, ya wouldnt think they'd be that heavy, right?

    2 toters full = 1300 pounds.

    Today went from "I'm gonna be broke all weekend" too "$113 will definately buy some brewskies!"

    Just thought id share that with yall.

    This guy Harold Camping came up with a formula to predict the end of the world that the good book says no man knows the day or the hour of. His group, family radio, spent a lot of $$ putting up billboards to advertise it & everything else.

    A bit off topic, but ok. One guy who insists that the timeline in the Bible is over, as of tomorrow. Been a few years, but it's not the first time he's made headlines with this claim. If you view the Bible as a history of the world from beggining to end, I believe there are too many unfulfilled prophesies in Revalation for that time to be here just yet.

    Definitely not the first time Mr. Camping's predictions haven't panned out...

    You still have time. Apparently the world won't end until 6PM EST.

    Sounds like you had a better day than me. Been running back and forth between Kuna, Nampa and Boise for a customer scrap pickup.

    Had I known what it was (and by her description on the phone, it seemed like an easy job), I would have passed. But, I said I'd do it, so I am following through.

    On the news, they said it's supposed to be at 6:00PM, by time zone. I guess God is concerned with those pesky Time Zones. Apparently, on the other side of the world, they're holding parties to show their "disappointment".
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    So, what you're saying is, whatever disaster is gonna happen is gonna start in one time zone at 6 and just keep moving west by one time zone every hour? Lol
    There's nothing more fun and more effective than hitting something repeatedly with a sledgehammer
