Also heavy so filling while on its back in the back of a pickup is not recommended by law. Then getting out of the truck is not easy.

YIKES! Don't be given him any ideas - he does have two pickup trucks, one could be used as a fueling station -

Could be one without pump handle. I just grabbed a pic on line that looked similar.

Stumps a stump. You want to dig for hours on each one, or stand behind a grinder with a beer?

Now, that brings to mind a back-in-the-day story.

When I was a boy, back on the farm, I was exploring some storage area up in a loft of a machinery shed, when I ran across an interesting wooden box. I lowered it down to the dirt floor to get a better look what was inside.

Sure enough it was a box half full of dynamite. I knew that from reading the road runner comic strips. I also noticed the sticks were oozing some amber colored liquid. What a find! My head filled with of thoughts of all the things I could blow up -

About then my grandfather came over to see what I was doing. He said that he had forgotten all about that box of dynamite. I asked him what they used it for. He said they used to use it to blow up stumps when clearing land.

He then ruined my day by explaining that it was old and unstable because it was oozing and that I couldn't have it. He then sent me into the house, loaded it on a mud boat and used a tractor to drag it off into a distant place and buried it.

I mean I guess if you wear a helmet on a moped then it's appropriate for a Miata..

That's not a helmet - that's mrs humfrz's head of gray hair.

I'll tell her that you said her hair do looks like a helmet - then you will be in trouble -

Which brings to mind a story. Waaaay back when, the now mrs humfrz and I were "dating", we used to go everywhere together. So, one day I dropped her off to get her haircut. When she had finished she came out and asked me how it looked. I replied (since it was quite short) that it looked sort of "dyke-ish". That's when we started not going everywhere together.

The lesson I learned then was to NEVER give any comment on a woman's hair, even if asked, except to say "it looks nice".

Well you do have to be careful for when one of the bastards wonders out into your path.

Don't know. I wish I had a helmet when he was backing up his Saturn.
