Yep. I plan to daisy chain the two barrels and place them under one of the downspouts coming off the roof. I just have to divert the downspout either by cutting through the side and forming a flap to divert to the barrel, or by cutting it off and running it to the barrels themselves.

Only problem may be the home owners association. . . They may object to it the bastards!  :icon_evil: :icon_evil: :icon_evil: :icon_evil:

  Get some fake leaves and make it look like a bush.  But then again I know one guy that the home owners association wouldn't let him have a tomato plant in his front planter.  The damn bastards.  I wouldn't trade my old home for yours for that one reason.  Let alone the property taxes.  It would take something really great to get me to move.

  I only plan to move once more.  In fact my wife and I improved our new home.  We got a new head stone for it about two months ago.   :yes: :smile:  This is the truth.  No kidding.

The tax thing should be much better thanks to the people approving the tax cap legislation. . . But then again, who knows. . .

We have a set of wires for a street lamp sticking out of the ground on our parkway. We are into our 4th year here and they still have not put that street lamp up. I am about ready to fire off a nasty gram to those bastards in the HOA here soon. I've been mowing around it for almost 4 years now. . . WTF?

They can see the weeds in my neighbors yards and send them nastygrams about that, but they don't see that 3 foot encased wiring sticking out of the ground????  :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

SIL took it one step further.  He put two together and got a little pump and uses a hose just like out of the faucet.  We still carry ours in watering cans...ugh.  When we empty it in the fall, usually around the middle of Oct., we full plastic milk jugs and I use it for the house plants after I bring them in.

My wife brought home another car load of stuff from work. (I keep telling her to drive the truck to work so she can carry more stuff).  Anyway, today she brought home a couple of plastic barrels with no tops on them.

I intend to drill a hole near the bottom of these drums, and insert a petcock valve into the holes. Then I will place cheesecloth over the tops and secure it with strapping, and once spring comes I will set them out into the yard to catch rainwater. That way I will have a ready source to water the flowers from, and avoid paying the thieving city for water and sewer charges!!!!

. . . Of course, it will have to rain in order for me to use them. . .

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preseved body, but rather to skid in sideways, choclate and wine in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!"  I don't know who wrote this but it seems like a great idea to me.

I used to dislike it, but about the time it came out on VHS, an older gentleman I worked with at the time told me how much he liked that movie, and how it reminded him of his own childhood. We ended up incorporating some of the lines from that movie into our own version of insider humor, and ever since then it has become one of my favorites. Not so much because it is a "great" movie in my view, but mostly because every time I see it I think of him.

He was a great man, an exemplary soldier, and a dear friend to me. I miss him but I am sure that he's watching that movie right now and laughing his butt off. The big C took him from us a few years back. . .  :'( :'( :'(

Merry Christmas Dick! (Yep, that was his name!)

  I loved it.  I think the guy who wrote it stole my childhood.  Me and my Daisy Red Rider BB gun.  The bully, but in my life, his name was Duck Bill.  Chased me home every night and if he caught me the beat me up.  And I don't know how many times I was told that I would shoot my eye out.  I also got my mouth washed out.

   I remember shooting ice sicicles and watch them fall.  Yes, it was a part of my life.  Good movie.

Me, too.

My bully wasn't Scut Farkas, it was Terry Leatherman, and I beat the crap out of him in 6th grade.
