    Ah nah!

    I enjoy it...

    Just thinking of all the overly large gear I am about to drag in my room in the next month or so...makes work enjoyable by far! LOL

    Ah well...every summer I gain a new pet peeve

    The first summer, 2002 - it was trash day. After the house was built, I picked up all the trash!

    The second summer, 2003 - was painting and remodeling, I honestly hate painting and remodeling!

    The third summer, 2004 - YARD WORK! GOOD LORD!

    But I guess I always gain something I like too....

    I like building houses, website work, pressure washing! (one of my favorite jobs), detailing cars........and alot more jobs I have had to do over the past 3 years! lol

    Ah well....more gear to come REAL soon, muaahaha - a secret it is ;)

    Yeah, I don't look forward to spending 4 hours on the lawn tractor once a week. I dunno what i'd do if I had to spend a day actually doing yard WORK.

    At my job we're gonna have a lot of computer to heave around and set up, so there's gonna be plenty of heavy lifting. We've already started into it now, though the 200 new computers have not yet arrived.

    Worked from 8-3 today, then came home to the attached (4 machines.... none of them mine.... all want them ASAP!!!!!) and worked on them until now when I'll go to bed and start over.

    I'm not complaining, though, 'cause it's giving me enough money to fuel my bill payments and my hobbies. It helps that I'm living at home still ;-D


    (PS- sorry about the image quality. My camera doesn't know what to do with "low light". focus=0 but you get the point)
    Ludicrous gibs!

    Ah yes, computer repair would be rather fun!
    200 computers?? Where exactly do you work?

    Sounds like a place down here - fix about 1,000+ computers a week if I remember correctly

    So far this summer...

    it looks like the following..

    Pressure Washing
    Lawn Care
    Remodeling
    Building Houses
    and Washing/Detailing cars

    Sid, I feel for you (NOT!!!)

    It's a part of life. Be glad you aren't my son, living at home with me. Don't get me wrong, but it takes around 12 hours JUST to cut the grass. And that's with commercial equipment.

    This heat has been a **** though, I have to agree with you there, NOW GET BACK OUT THERE AND FINISH CUTTING THE GRASS!!!! :D

    OK, you just proved how lame your work really is. Even if you look very closely you cannot tell any difference between the two pics. So what did you do, pick up a leaf or something. :confused:

    I wish I could find an easyass job like that... :D

    I'm with madmax on this one. Maybe the grass is greener in one of the shots, but otherwise they seem pretty much identical. I know for damn sure the concrete is the same color.

    Ok people...

    Those are *identicle* pictures.

    They as a picture have not changed at all...

    Same angle, same height, size --

    The difference is...

    I took it in to PSP -- balanced out the color, worked on the contrats, enhanced the saturation, I clarify, then I did the fade correction!!

    The picture, concrete, side walk, grass, garbage can - ITS ALL THE BLOODY SAME!!!! LOL

    The concrete should look no cleaner than before, it should just be easier to see....

    I cleaned the thing a week ago, and did the yard work yesterday! LOL, understand now?

    So you are whining about all the work it took to clean the pic, not the yard? Who cleaned the yard? Did someone pay you to clean the pic? I'm confused.

    I see, Sid. You're complaining about all the time it took to clean up the picture not the yard! Make perfect sense now! I'm no photoshop expert but I think I could clean up a picture in a lot less than 7 hours.

    Didn't you say you completed the yard work over a week ago? And you are still whining?? Those garbage cans are looking a little dull. Maybe a little armor-all might spruce them up. :D

    And I pressure washed a week ago, and yard work - day ago
