Mailbox

You know its rained really hard when you look out your window and the mailbox is broke in half.  So my dance card otherwise known as my day off got filled with trips to home depot, digging in the rain, the requisite curse word or two, and a new mailbox well at least a new post erected.  For the uninitiated you need a post which thankfully comes pre-packaged at your own Lowes or Home Depot.  You can choose from a few options, we opted for cedar.  You will also need a platform, a 60 pound bag of concrete or as the illuminati call it sakrete, some screws, a drill, and as always with any home improvement project a bucket full of patience.  The highlight of the event which involved three other family members including my lovely wife was when a drill bit got stuck and when I tried to remove it, ya know friction causes heat, I quickly let go by tossing it up into the air and it promptly went down my wife's blouse causing her to jump around trying to shake to the hot metal out of her bra and blouse.  The last time I laughed that hard was when I heard the report told to me by one of my children about the profanity another of my children used in the direction of my sweet wife brought on by the pain of his broken arm but that is for another post.
