| 01:00.36 | mzb | :) |
| 01:28.28 | flypiper | yep.. she is just slightly spoiled |
| 01:31.45 | mzb | heh |
| 01:32.31 | mzb | got house warming the weekend ... apparently I have a lot to do ;) |
| 01:32.55 | mzb | (still don't have time to sleep!) |
| 01:41.16 | flypiper | what? I thought you realized there wasn't time for sleep with children. I got by with 3 hrs a nite when working 3 jobs and supporting 4 kids :-) |
| 02:20.02 | mzb | f0rk! ;) |
| 02:20.20 | mzb | hmm ... maybe I should start resting now in preparation for teens ;) |
| 02:25.20 | flypiper | oh dude.. teens you won't sleep at all... enjoy the free time while they are small!! |
| 02:29.50 | mzb | lol ... all down hill from here ... so much for my dreams of breeding in order to get the dishes done ;) |
| 02:47.16 | flypiper | LoL, by the time they get to the age of being able to wash the dishes..they will be in the teen years and not really want to... feeling they don't have to. It's a real hard time for my kids, cause they drive tractors for me and don't like to |
| 03:01.58 | mzb | heh ... makes washing dishes sound like a small thing to ask ;) |
| 03:02.38 | mzb | (I think I'll start charging Kiah a smal amount for board when she goes to school next year ... just to get her used to the idea ;))) |
| 03:02.43 | mzb | s/small |
| 03:03.55 | flypiper | that should go over really well... good luck with that |
| 03:10.43 | mzb | hehe |
| 03:10.53 | flypiper | I paid the neighbor kid (18 years old) $100 to drive tractor and unload a couple of wagons of hay. His sister told me he would never do that again.. too much work. He would rather sit and watch TV. |
| 03:11.00 | mzb | the trick there is that she'd have to be getting pocket money first ;) |
| 03:11.05 | flypiper | that's what we are up against here in the US |
| 03:11.10 | mzb | gee |
| 03:11.20 | mzb | 100 bucks is 100 bucks |
| 03:11.58 | mzb | I "pushed" shit up hill for a few weekends to pay for a course (a few hundred bucks) |
| 03:12.26 | flypiper | yep.. I have done a lot harder for less cash. |
| 03:12.48 | flypiper | when I was 18 I baled hay all day for $20 just for gas money for my car. |
| 03:12.56 | mzb | ie: dug horse shit out of collected area (bottom of hill), shovelled into truck, drove to vege garden |
| 03:13.27 | flypiper | you can't pay them enough here.. they get away with laying on their ass and watchin TV |
| 03:13.59 | flypiper | and it's not just one kid.. its all of them.. they are all alike |
| 03:14.18 | mzb | I've also worked on a tip, done garbage runs, sold door-to-door ... so I've learned that there is _some_ value to my time and effort. But I'd still make time for $100 ;)) |
| 03:14.24 | mzb | gee |
| 03:14.36 | mzb | ah well ... I guess they'll learn ... or not |
| 03:14.54 | mzb | (when they have kids, job, mortgage ... etc) |
| 03:15.23 | flypiper | I agree, they will eventually learn what puts cash in your pocket |
| 03:15.42 | mzb | yep |
| 03:15.58 | mzb | hmm ... can't get an X10 controller to behave on a particular socket ... too late now, I've drilled holes |
| 03:16.19 | flypiper | It's funny,, I have a friend that started on the Police Dept when I did. He makes his boys come over and help me for beer... just for the excercise |
| 03:16.38 | flypiper | oh...my.. yep.. holes won't let you change much |
| 03:17.34 | mzb | she wanted a clock in the kitchen so I bought a cheap X10 Bedside Controller (clock, alarm ... buttons ... etc) |
| 03:18.07 | mzb | looks good in place, so achieves (her) desired result ... but not having working buttons doesn't achieve mine ;) |
| 03:18.33 | mzb | don't want to waste a benchtop controller ... ah ... that gives me an idea |
| 03:19.25 | flypiper | sounds like the alarm clock my wife got me for my birthday. I'ts for my ipod, to sit in and play music or a bell alarm. The buttons don't work so I can't change the alarm time or type. |
| 03:19.35 | flypiper | but it looks good and plays music..yea |
| 03:21.49 | flypiper | hey my friend, I have to go do some batch processing. I was rib stitching a wing to my airplane today. Was standing on my feet all day, and Im beat. Have a great nite/day talk to you later |
| 03:23.35 | mzb | you too, have fun |
| 03:51.33 | mzb | ah, not that the clock buttons weren't working, it was my method of measuring the result at the other end (>1 heyu process;) |
| 03:51.40 | mzb | *excellent* |
| 03:51.53 | mzb | continues with his list of tasks for the day |
