So like Butterfly Effect time travel?

Just finishing up the labels for them. As you know, marketing and PR are more important than the product actually being good in the first place.

Let me know if you need an actor for the infomercial.

"Tired of constantly having to wash baby bottles?" Cut to me losing a bottle nipple to the garbage disposal, soap overflowing the sink, and a bottle brush catching fire.

We can go from there.

Didn't know you had to do the flamethrower trick to get the bead correct. I always just thought you slipped it in before screwing it on.

Edit: For reference, the flame thing:

Of course Bubba has a lit cigarette hanging out of his mouth while applying the extremely flammable fluid. Of course.

With all of the heavy breathing I wasn't quite sure what kind of video I was watching.
 
This is how they did it in the old days. Now you Just spray dishwashing soap on it and air it up. When my dad trucked in the late 70s I saw him do this (I was in that kindergarten age) but where I go now they spray dawn soap on it and it's good.
 
Woot! Woot! Among all of the bills from two weeks of mail (and the targeted old folks mailers) I got a $488 check from the car dealership. Got over charged on the sales tax and licensing. Looked up the car online before and the tax/license stuff looked expense but mostly in line with the Minnesota tables. Anyway, cool.

Waiting for the yard to dry off so I can cut and bail it. Apparently the two weeks I was gone was prefect plants and grass weather. Amazing how stuff greened up. Need to harvest rhubarb! No worries, I did not get fat on all of the boat cruise food so I am go to go from making crisp.

Remember my dad getting into it with a Bubba working at one of the D-X filling stations in town. We were delivering gas, like 1500 gallons. You would open the top hatches so you didn't get airlocks when doing the gravity feed dump through the big hose on the back. So lots of fumes. Guy working had a cigar in his mouth, unlighted. Argument was over the unlighted since force of habit might have the guy striking a match. Guy "It's not lighted. I won't light it" Old man, "Don't give a rats ***, get that damn cigar out of your mouth!" Little Boxster was thinking my dad was going to go all WWII corporal and fist it out. Cooler heads prevailed but still remember that.

You didn't have to explain it to me... :)
 
Think I just need to quit waiting for the grass to dry and do the wet mow and rake it later. It's like 6" high and wet as heck. Weather is for rain everyday for the rest of the summer or something. Guess I missed the best weather of the year when I was away.

I actually considered coming over and mowing if for you, but I was afraid:

1. I would start mowing the wrong yard because I don't know exactly where you live,
2. Your crazy neighbors would call the cops, or
3. I wouldn't mow up to a Landscape Architect's standards.

Otherwise, I was there.

Heh, that was me this morning, too! My lawn was seeded out, wet from the rain each of the last 3 days. Got done mowing it about a half hour ago.
 
Have big ant mounds in my yard. Gonna have to go buy some ant death stuff.

Shouldn't have gone on vacay.
