Never clean bright white upholstery outside..

Subtle soiling won't show up in the bright light for one.
It's nice to put pieces out in the sun to get some help activating oxidizers but clean in the shade if indoors isn't an option as it was here. Problem with this job was the only shade was being provided by dripping pine trees.

Lesson two, don't use the customer' ' POS folding tables. Damn thing collapsed spontaneously..

Lesson three, tell the neighbors to keep thier kids away. Little bastard came over to see what was going on and proceeded play hop scotch on my cushions..

Hours later, all wrapped up and ready to leave, the sun gets behind a tree and a few blemishes show up...good griefs...

Frikkin kids can be sum beaches.

I hate moving furniture all over too. I hate those days when it piles up.

Feel your pain. Had one kid one time hanging around the front panel of my machine. Had to stop and tell the parents to get his ass away from my van.

I poured and finished a cement sidewalk at a local bank a few years ago. Doing a favor. It was almost set up, but I had a good night if work ahead. I coned it off and used caution tape. Sure enough, some dumb kid walked through the whole thing after I left. Ignorant useless untrained spoiled children these days.

It was a pleasant morning and there were 13 birders that came out to Rancho
San Rafael for the LAS field trip this past Friday. We walked through the
arboretum where we saw a MOUNTAIN CHICKADEE, BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK,
WILSON'S and YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS. As we walked along Evan's Creek to
the pond we saw WESTERN WOOD-PEWEE, YELLOW WARBLER, DOWNY WOODPECKER, and a
COOPER'S HAWK perched in a tree. At the pond we encountered BARN SWALLOWS,
a close encounter with a RUDDY DUCK, juvenile COOTs, and PIED-BILLED GREBES
feeding 6 juveniles. The RED-WING BLACKBIRDS were busy nest building, we
came across a MALLARD's nest with 7 eggs, and VIRGINIA RAILs singing in the
cattails. We crossed under McCarran Blvd where the CLIFF SWALLOWS were
nearly done building there nests. Evan's Canyon/Nature Trail had a few
more warbles and pewee's but not as many as a couple of weeks ago. In the
canyon we saw a flycatcher but we didn't get close enough to ID. We heard
and saw 42 species along the walk.

I see all that and more just looking out my living room window.

Got a momma coon and her babies nesting in a big maple on the hill. Thinking about calling someone to remove them.

Haven't seen any turtles yet this year.
