@WuWei

What do you think the 4x4s are?

Oh. I thought he was talking about using trucks to pull out the old concrete…

(Or maybe I didn’t read carefully. )

[Ben_Natuf]

why would we even consider bailing out states? last i checked they have taxing authority.

@conan

Won’t your neighber go in half with you? If he can’t afford it hand him the shove.

my fence, my problem

@conan

Can you swing a hammer without hurting yourself? Can he?

I actually havn’t ever seen the new neighbors. The other guy who lived there could have cared less about the face (from how he never took care of his yard.)

@conan

It’s not worth replacing with new unless you do entire fence. So reuse as much of old as possible. Then move. You’re neighbors are too close.

I did get the fence up off the ground. STILL waiting for the fence guy to come take a look and give me an estimate. Looks like 80 to 90% is still usable (at least to my untrained eye). But not a lot of people do fences here. Guy I called reminds a lot of people of the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld. He basically tells you what he’s going to do. You agree to it, or he walks away and won’t take your calls again.

No concrete that I can see. Just the posts buried in the ground about 2 foot.

So the way I hear the plan . . . 500 billion for states. California is look at a 54 Billion + shortfall next budget year. Does cali state get 10%+ of the bailout?

@AngraMainyu

Means testing during a pandemic… okay then

You didn’t know the previous ones were means tested? Seeing as how I didn’t qualify for any of it, I noticed it was.

I know the feeling.

[Ben_Natuf]

the states can bail themselves out.

[Guvnah]

@Ben_Natuf

the states can bail themselves out.

But … the lib governors of western states want a TRILLION dollars!!

Just $500 measly billion? Pshaw!

[Snow96]

Hmmm what about the other western states? All those I see are liberal run states.

Maybe they need to look at thing (oooh like california setting up a program to give 84 million to illegal aliens). Start cutting cutting cutting everything that isn’t public health related (aka health department spending), police, fire, prisons, roads, ems. Start cutting cutting cutting – THEN see what you need from the feds.

@Guvnah

Well, you gotta buy new posts too.

(Your response was my first thought as well. But it’s really immaterial to this thread’s actual topic.)

Snow’s fence has a better chance of picking itself up and reinstalling itself than the House bill does of passing the Senate!

That’s definitely a DIYer. For me, incompetent boob that I am, that’s 2 days of excuses to escape the house. That windstorm was a gift from God for being a good person.

Medical issues prevent me from doing crap I did even 10 years ago.

@DougBH

Taxing each other and giving each other money indefinitely isn’t the way out of this either virus wise or economically.

true, but it does stuff the pockets of illegal aliens

[Axxowiz]

I am sure the republicans will be rushing to sign the bill after congress impeached the president.

Bah - sorry to hear that. You can still supervise!

Blame the government!!

[Impenitent]

in the bill I heard is a provision to stop deportations as long as covid 19 is terrorizing people…

[conan]

Hmm…let see now. You’re riding on one wheel scouter and you can’t dig a small hole?

[altair1013]

@Snow96

This SHOULD be happening with illegal immigration and should be tied to any bailout by the federal government that this is allowed and encouraged to happen.

After the Senate shoots down this monstrosity, they should deliver a copy to the President. He can call a news conference and tear up the bill on camera as Nancy did with the SOTU. I would pay to see that.

@Impenitent

They should be immediatly deported, regardless.

Different muscle group . . . and when I started riding – my legs hurt like hell for the first 2 months.
