Bert-Man,

IMO I 'think' women as a whole enjoy looking their best. I also 'think' they are as much at fault for their style of attire, attitude and physical appearance as men are, if not more so. I mean basics are basics and lets face it, attracting a mate so you can procreate is about as 'basic' as it gets. And like it or not, we are animals, just like the rest of the creatures of the earth and we march to the same basic requirements as the rest of them. We may be able to rationalize what we do, but that doesn't mean we rise very far above those basic needs. Women like to look good and men like to look at them. You can fancy it up all you want, but that's the bottom line.. that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

G'day Boo
And how is yesterday panning out for ya ?
Hope that forest is not an imported ecluptus transplanted from down here.

In another case of ignorant white man arrogance we exported fast growing gums all over the world but not the way the black fellers looked after them.
Even after 229 years we are still trying to prove we are smarter than the people who had been maintaining the "greatest gardens on earth " for around 50,000 years.
Thankfully there is a small trial of "traditional land management" currently under way so by the time I am 100 forest fires will be a thing of the past

Boo,

I'd just show you a fancy box and charge as much as traffic would bear, then when you kick the bucket, we'd chuck you in a rough pine box and be done with it! You'd never know!

Boo, you just aren't thinking!! Put a trailer hitch on the Camry and use your sweet talk to find a nice utility trailer on the cheap. When we sold my last truck, that's what we did and it has been the best thing we ever did! The trailer holds more (5'X8') than the truck bed (4'X 6-1/2') and you don't have to worry about scratching it up! I just bought a basic trailer with a deck (aluminum frame, torsion axels and drop-down loading ramp) and then built my own sides. best move I ever made. Either car will tow it as will the ATV (not mine, it belongs to #1-step-son, but he has several of them, so he stores one over here.). I use it to haul fire wood out of places you wouldn't want to take your car.

Pallets are great! Most are oak and although they can be a bitch to get apart, the wood is good for all sorts of projects.

Ron,

I had a radial arm saw - -Once!! Then one day it shot a piece of wood across the cellar and stove the front of the washing machine in!! If that piece had hit me I think it would have gone right through me! I sold the saw..
