In order to prepare the yard for the new playset to arrive sometime in the near future I found out that I was expected to clean up all the branches, including the gigantic pile behind the shed.

Since my wife was outside and I was wearing a tanktop, all hot and sweaty, I realized that I needed to take advantage of the situation and prepare my chances for the evening. Instead of using the branch cutters I started breaking these branches with my bear hands. I'm extremely muscular and hairy. I also used my bare hands and broke several dried twigs.

Then I started leaning a few against a tree and dropkicking them, like the badass I am. I even made sounds like they do in the movies, like "herush", and "fwoop", but I avoided "fwap fwap fwap fwap", at least for now, depending on how the night goes.

I had one particularly large branch, at least the size of a rolling pin. I tried a couple times to break it, but it resisted me as if it was married to me and I was trying to get it in bed for 16 months. So I channeled all my frustration and performed a flying spinning roundhouse dropkick, the same one that Dora the Explorer performed on the soccer ball to get the winning goal in the episode when her team was playing against the dinosaurs.

Well this branch decided to exact it's revenge. As I struck it with brutal force, it snapped in 3. Unfortunately for me the third piece richocheted off the tree and struck me in and about the facial area. I guess you can say it gave me a woody facial. I immediately saw myself from the third person, in slo-mo bullet-time like in the Matrix. I attempted to dodge but the branch hit me squarely in the jaw... actually more semi-circularly. The force was such that it cause me to chip a tooth.

I saw my wife jump up and run inside and I realized that my extreme display of manhood must have pushed her over the edge. She was probably upstairs grabbing some lube already.

No, she needed to find her cellphone to call her sister before she stopped laughing.

I'll get my revenge you branch bastards!

Okay, you got me beat then. I'm helping a neighbor do his porch starting this weekend. He wants to close it off and make it a living space. I'm bringing over whatever he doesn't have (which isn't much) and when we're done his he'll lend me a hand with my basement.

Tools are fun. I just picked up a Milwaukee handheld power drill. That thing is a beast.

No but I heard great things about it. My buddy knows more about tools than I do so I let him refer me to what I should buy. I think I need a new cordless drill too since I either wrecked it building the swingset or destroyed the battery to the point it won't charge. I abused that poor thing.

dont get ryobi.. we tried a few of their tools and after returning one of their sawzalls 3 times in one day we switched to a milwaukee one and it lasted years.. makita makes good cordless powertools.. dewaults were ok but i didnt like the play that the motor had, same thing with porter cables, milwaukee ones were ok but sometimes they werent as ergonomic as the others.. out of all the battery drills i've had and tried i still like makita the best..

Sounds like I need to wait for a Makita deal again. I think Home Depot runs one near the holidays. Anything is an upgrade over the Craftsman power tools I've started with. They're all good enough, but if I'm going to keep doing things then when it comes time I want to replace them with something much better. My Craftsman cordless drill lasted through a ton of projects but I really pushed it too hard with the swingset and knew I was probably going to burn the motor out or do some other damage. I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did with how rough I am with my tools.

If I were her, and I obviously didn't want him touching me, I'd be buying him porn and encouraging him to touch himself every day and twice on Sundays. laugh out loud

Last night we got the kids to bed. It was 8:30 and I asked her if she was ready for bed. "But it's only 8:30." Yeah, but I wanted to get to bed before you were tired. "You know what? You're so rude."

FAIL.
Seriously? holy crap.....

I chipped a tooth using mine, with a 2" wood boring bit on it trying to drill a hole overhead. The bit grabbed, and the handle flew out of my hands into my chin knocking me clean off the ladder.

To clarify, she wanted to watch one of those dancing shows, and I wanted to draw up plans for the basement, so I told her I wanted to do my own thing. She started getting pissy and eventually accused me of cheating on her, and after some back and forth said "Then why are we even in a relationship?" I told her it was because we have kids and took vows.

Eventually we started talking again and I told her I was tired of working so hard and getting nothing in return, and she said she felt the same way. She said every time she gets off the phone with me she assumes I'm cheating on her. I just don't get it. I mentioned that if I was getting some on the side, then why would I be trying so hard to get it from her?

I think deep down she just doesn't trust me. I give her no reason not to trust me. She can reach me any time on my cell, she knows where I am at all times and I've never had any other evidence against me. For the record, I'm not cheating on her.

I told her if she loves me she has to show me, she has to prove it. Obviously I don't excel in these types of conversations.

Why can't she just blow me and get past all this crap?
