Democrat=butthead

mid-afternoon on Saturday, the 26th of July 2003 by Scott

While the Pirate-King is out raiding Colorado with the Pirate-Queen, I thought I’d take a moment from the 90+ degree heat to sneak in an entry on his site. While I’ve been pondering the Democrat=butthead equation for awhile myself, esp since I consider myself an ex-Democrat, I don’t have anything more to offer on the issue. If anyone knows, or has any idea why the Democrats have lost their collective minds, then please drop a line. Even my octagenarian mother can’t figure it out.

I’m taking a break in the mid afternoon, waiting for a pond liner to warm up. Yes, the hole has been there for over 16 months and I’m finally filling it in. Got the Kid on board with a promise he can swim in it. Hell, I just might take a swim in it myself when all is done. The thing is 9×16x3 at its deepest, 1 ft deep at its shallowest. All told it need a 15×20 liner that weighs 80lbs. Hernia city. Add to that the 10 bags of sand, 2 bales of weed fabric, 2 tons of large river rock, 2 pallets of Pennsy fieldstone, 1 GFCI run-wet outlet, conduit + pvc glue & fittings, 100 feet of outdoor cable and I’m at the $600 mark. Add in another $200 for a filter/pump and my guess is that we’ll be near a grand by the time we’re throwing in fish. Long term goal: foot long Japanese koi. Short term goal: feeder goldfish. The Kid is all ready looking forward to “swimming with the fishes”.

Air conditioniong. What a wonderful invention.
