Don, did you tell him that the sooner he got a hold of a shovel and
got it unloaded, the sooner he'd make his haircut apointment?

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.

That's because you have the benefit of a spine. Looks like #2 son sees Don
as a milquetoast and takes him about as seriously as the rest of us. No
surprise there.

Don't you have a whole life policy you can con someone into purchasing.
Must be your turn to harass the 'cold contacts'.

He would be a pathetic shadow of Skipper. The only thing in common would be
the nasty attitude. although Skipper was only nasty on occasion...not in
every visit.

To be fair.. he just walked back from the gym and had to eat, shower & get
dressed. His haircut appointment was just before he started work.
It still would have gone faster with two pitching in.
