ouch!


Yesterday, I was on top of my garage roof which is pretty flat as far as roofs go. It's only 9 feet up. As I was cleaning the roof off, I had bad thoughts running through my head and started to think how I need to hire this out!

Sorry to hear that Rick. Your dad's speedy recovery will be in our prayers.

When my dad was in his late 70s my step mother called and said she couldn't stop him from climbing on the roof to clean the gutters. So I went over and got him off the roof by telling him I would finish the job if he would loan me the ladder since I had the same job to do at my house. I just never took the ladder back.

Reminds me of my dad; he was looking at the x rays of the screws holding his back together. He asked the Doc "...how much did those screws cost? I coulda got em out of Plant 38 fer nuthin!"
