Chainsaw!

 

I’ve got a 16” cordless that I’m probably gonna bring. Sawzall with long blades.
Machete.
Butcher knife.
Drywall saws.

 

Maybe @gosolo can make you a Damascus pumpkin carving tool.

 

I do wonder how thick the wall (rind?) in a pumpkin that big would be. The ones my girls pick out are not even 1/10th the size of a 250lb pumpkin and the walls can be 2” thick.

 

My neighbors tree fell onto my property last year. Took out my fence, one of my old maple trees, a pool and some playground equipment. This is the bottom of it. That’s a 6’ fence

middle of it

 

That’s something that can be done!

 

Something to make it easy to scoop out all the pumpkin guts.

 

Well, we got to Timberline Lodge yesterday but I don’t think we’re gonna be able to see the mountain since we’ve been here visibility has been 1/4 mile or less.

 

Clouds can roll in and out up there quick so it could change for you.

 

This is the 46th birthday we’ve had together.

 

Congrats Ray!

 

46 years ago, we were 20 & hunting deer, camping on the edge of the Blue Wilderness area in eastern Arizona!

 

I took this from the top of the mile, above the lodge on a blue bird day.

 

Wow! I wish I could have gotten to see those views!

 

Like being on top of the world.

 

Makes me happy to see snow on the ground. That’s a good start!

 

Bring a Hackzall if you have one. Works great for cutting them open and trimming the tops.

 

Last night at work for a while!

Looks like you Wetside folks are getting wet.

 

Rocking!

The Seattle area was in a rain shadow for most of the day, but it moved in about 3pm and has been constant ever since. Kinda fun.

Still waiting for my exemption approval… I’ve probably been elevated to double secret probation

 

New carpet install today. Sh!t, this is a mess. Hope to still be married after this.

 

Score!!!!!!!!!

 

Still looks like an episode of Hoarders at my house but good progress being made.

 

Nice!
Just sent my letter in to Payroll this week!

I find it interesting that we didn't have to submit proof of long term care to the state for the exemption.

 

interesting

 

I still remember when we had carpet done years ago. Kitchen and deck was stacked as high as possible with furniture and stuff.

It is worth the pain!

Yep. No one I know has had to provide anything more than a copy of their DL to “prove” identity. Heck, my DL has my old address so it didn’t match what I put in the system (but does match the State record). I was a bit worried that would trip up the process.

Zero info needed on my policy…and I wasted all this paper printing it out.

 

Weird, but not surprising considering it's a gov program.

Was it Jan 1st that employers are required to start withdrawing (stealing) funds?

 

Makes me realize my girls don’t need more stuff for the holidays! Installers are onto the last room.

 

Just give them the boxes from the installers. They love playing in boxes. Oh wait, that's cats.

 

Yep, starting 1/1/22. My employer hasn’t rolled out the portal yet to submit my paperwork.

Between the rush to get a system built and deployed for the exemption process for both the vax and the long term care mandate, I actually feel sorry for HR and Payroll. The next few months will be horrible for those jobs.

And I’m sure some of us will still magically get hit with the deduction next year…that will be a fun to fix

 

Agree.. Couldn't pay me enough to work in that field.
