Next year for the holidays, I want the same lawn ornament as my work has out front:
Linky linky
That is awesome!!!

If we put that in the office our Scrooge might even approve! he won't even water the "Seasonal Plant" (Because you can't call it a Christmas Tree, that would be un-PC 😛 ).

Yeah it is! I'll take two, please. That's one to use and one as a backup. The only thing between me and a no-worries, no-stops commute will be the fuel. 😉

Sure!!! We just have to careful not break the sprinklers. Or we could take them out in the woods behind my house. It is huge and as long as we sneak into the woods from behind my neighbor they will never know how the trees all got knocked down. 😛

Tomorrow marks the annual pilgrimage to my wife's company holiday party. They fly in the whole division from all over the US to one location every year. The parties have been in New Orleans, Vegas, Columbus, Chicago, Lawrence, KS and this year Orlando again. So we are bringing the boys and staying a few extra days to go to Disney. As Neil Patrick Harris said EPCOT stands for Every Parent Can Order Tequila. :laugh: This is pretty much the boys christmas present. This is the fourth time their party has been there and the third time we have taken the boys.

OH GOOD, this again... (installing this time):

Been at 12 seconds for 15 minutes... /sigh. Think it's time to ask for a new PC.

Well, in the end we cleaned the application from the PC. Took 4 hours, and it generated a 959,206KB log file. O.o

I'm sure your neighbour wouldn't notice the trees "fell down", or mind the loud bangs from the shell fire. :hehe:

Well, I know where you guys can get your first one, you're just going to need a few things...
1. A really, really, really big truck and trailer with a really, really powerful winch.
2. A cutting torch.
3. A bunch of guys with guns to keep the other guys with guns from stopping you.
4. One heck of a good escape plan.
5. A really, really, really good lawyer for when #4 doesn't turn out as good as you thought it was...

Well, count me in as the third player for Tank Games 2017. Jason, it wouldn't be practical to drive them to Sean's house when mine is so much closer. Then we woudn't need to worry about #1 because we'll just drive it to my house. 😉

I thought EPCOT stood for Every Person Comes Out Tired. Have a great time.
