The one in Fort Walton has an automatic 200 amp switch and the otherr homes all have a manual 200 amp switch and I just plug up to the 220 side of the gen and run the power into the house after the meter. The 11,500 portable does a good job, but the 4,000 is at the doublewide and only used for light loads like TV, fridges, freezers and lights. I will not go into my problmes with collecting safes.

Yes, I think you and I would get along just fine.

Sometimes I think I'd like to float overhead when my family goes through my stuff after I'm gone...
Mostly I know I'd be screaming at what they throw away.
I just pray that I outlast my inlaws so they don't have the honors. Maybe that's what hell would be like?

Never stopped me. Like when the wife says how great it was and, DO I remind her of how many Budweisers she has had. No, I just wink and take all the credit. Or was she talking about the newly painted ceiling?

daveathall · 12 April 2009, 09:07 AM

I might have to get the ceiling painted, could do with a complement.

Every once in a while the end does justify the means.

Oh man............I'm so tempted to say something about how she may have overlooked the ceiling altogether and was fantasizing about some sexy Hollywood type....but......well....that just wouldn't be kind, would it!

Reminds me of an old joke. A married couple were going at it and five minutes turned to ten, then ten to twenty, then twenty to forty-five, then the husband opens one eye and sees the wife is looking back at him with one eye open. All she says is "I see you can't think of anyone else either".

How about this: you paint the ceiling and your wife gets the carpet cleaned and then you both have something to get excited about!

Hmmm, me thinks she sports hardwood floors so where is the wax?

Let's see...MENWAX, do they still sell that stuff.

Carolina · 12 April 2009, 11:37 AM

Joe, do you have any camellias in your backyard? I'd like to see one in an actual landscape.

Lisa · 12 April 2009, 11:44 AM

Also, Caroline, have you tried an image search for them? Pulls up nothing but pictures....

Six in the front yard and now I will have to go spend an hour or so going through photobook.

After a few trips to the loo I will get back with your request.

I did, but most of the photos are of blossoms only.

Isn't there also something about "getting the short end of the stick?"

daveathall · 12 April 2009, 11:24 PM

Had my Granddaughter and Nephew around today, organised an Easter egg hunt for them, my daughter left strict instructions that we should only give my Granddaughter 1 or 2 eggs, so of course we gave them 8 each, hey I'm a Grandad, that's what we do.

ob1 · 12 April 2009, 11:31 PM

Great photos Dave. My son is getting the same treatment at his nan's now! I'm looking forward to the sugar rush later.

daveathall · 12 April 2009, 11:35 PM

Thank you Mark, I did have to smile at the term "Sugar rush" my daughter has the results of my overindulgence of eggs for her daughter yet to come.

Lisa · 12 April 2009, 11:55 PM

Wonderful photos, Dave! Darling children. And I see a Japanese Red Maple in one of the photos..!

Over here, the kiddos enjoyed a chocolate breakfast. We're trying to make up for it with a decent brunch!

daveathall · 13 April 2009, 12:03 AM

Thank you Lisa, really love having the children round, gives their mums and dads a little bit of a day off as well, but I dread to think how excited those kids are when they get back home.

The Japanese Maple is one of those bushes that one minute there are no leaves on it whatsoever after the winter, the next time one looks it seems to be in full bloom.
