Yes...first thing I did. He grumbled something and went into the house, magically re-appearing just after I had finished shovelling all the gravel off and hosing off the crusher dust. |

Don, how old is #2 son? I must just be a mean old guy 'cause I think I'd have told him he could take it after he unloaded the gravel and washed the dust off. Then *I'd* have gone in the house and had a glass of iced tea. |

Looks like #2 son sees Don as a milquetoast and takes him about as seriously as the rest of us. No surprise there. |

Must be your turn to harass the 'cold contacts'. |

The only thing in common would be the nasty attitude. although Skipper was only nasty on occasion...not in every visit. |

His haircut appointment was just before he started work. It still would have gone faster with two pitching in. |
