The economy AND the infrastructure at the same time!
So; he’s gonna take tax revenue we don’t have, pay union thugs and hooked up copnstruction companies to do substandard repairs to roads and bridges, and then we’ll be another 50 billion in the hole, and the economy won’t be any better, and the roads will crumble prematurely making it even more expensive to repair them properly later.
STOP HELPING.
Not for my mental health, mind you, that’s fucked.
I still had to finish the driveway, but I had to get the weeds cut first, which required that I replace the hosed hose. Turns out that Home Despot sells them, so I bought two. Good thing because the one in the leaf blower was blown too.
So I weedwhacked the balance of the drive, blew the weeds and dust off, went out and bought four MORE buckets of tar, and finished the drive.
That sounds pretty easy, doesn’t it?
Would that it were.
Then there was the lawn, which I thought I had gotten for the last time. Pitiably, I had not. But I had to belt the damned thing, and so I went out and bought TWo new 30 dollar belts, one to use and one as a spare.
This is the time of year when I usually button down the place for the winter, but this year it’s been very difficult to keep up, what with IMTS and being assigned to a long term project some great distance from the house. So each weekend is a scramble to make ti all happen. Good to see the backside of that one.
