Cancer sucks hard man. It's all around us. I think everyone knows someone personally who has it, had it, or died from it.

I scored 4 pieces of 2x2x1/4" steel tube today. Wanted 3/16" but the price was right, free! They cut it at work for a customer a long time ago and it was wrong. I asked the boss about it and he said if you want it back your truck in. It's for a welding table I need to build. I'm a master scavenger! 
This is way heavier than it needs to be. Sucks just moving it, lol. Didn't measure them but they are 8 or 9 footers.

That's an awesome price! I'm the same way. If it's free and something I may use sometime, it's coming home with me. My wife told me again the other day I was a hoarder. She may be on to something.
Man I'm pooped. I'm replacing some rotted floor joists at my bros house. Holy cow, my shoudlers are on fire.
Stoopid arthritis.
Stoopid rotator cuff surgery.
Stoopid neck surgery.
Sore me....

@woodtickgreg , 1/4 inch walls???? Darn, you hang out in the right places. Yep, agree, might be overkill, but what a great price!!!!
So, let me catch everyone up. My friend and coworker passed last week and funeral was yesterday. He prepared the entire funeral. It was all him!! Out of all of this, I did find the casket I want to be buried in. I am not near the hunter, not even close, to most of you, but this casket was all him and other aspects of it are all me.
this is inside, embroidered and camouflage
and this is why I like it. Love the old barn and my antique tractor is the same generation, Only mine is a “G” instead of this “A” .....but close enough.
by the way, I don’t want to use it any time soon........

That is something beautiful on a sad day. Sorry for the loss. He's looking down at smiling that you like his choices
forgot to mention something and Eric made me think of it. My friend loved country dancing and concerts. He loved them so much that he would get to Colorado Springs, say hi to his brother and take off to the Grizzly Rose in Denver Before he moved back here. Ever since his passing I have had this one visual and I mentioned this at the graveside: Ed is in heaven listening to Charlie Daniels playing that fiddle made of gold........thanks everyone, just needed to talk to someone.
Charlie got there a little earlier than him to get set up!! RIP!
Living on the doorstep of what I have been told is the 4th largest cherry growing region in the US - Door County, Wisconsin - and with cherries now ripening, this morning we went cherry picking.
And we came home with 15 quarts of Montmorency Tart cherries.
Over the next couple days we'll pit them (we were going to pay them to pit them for us with their machine, but their pitting machine broke down while we were picking cherries) and do some different things with them. Current plans are freezer jam, cherry bbq sauce, bourbon soaked cherries, and just freezing some.
Our plan is to head back in a few days for more, once we've processed all of this.

I wish there was a You Suck button, or a smiley indicating that. If I want cherries, I have to buy days old dry shriveled cherries from our local Safeway. What you have there is making me wish I lived where cherries grow.
I remember way back to 1966 picking cherries out of trees in Germany. After we managed to pluck all the ones closest to height, we used the dump trucks headache board to sit on or straddle and the driver would raise the bed as if he was dumping a load.
Hmmm, That didn't sound good, but we would be at the top of the trees picking cherries that you couldn't find any fresher than that. Those were the days, young, foolish scareless, and pretty stupid too. ........... Jerry (in Tucson)
We've never lived where we could get fresh cherries like this - not until we moved to this area at the beginning of the year. We're really enjoying exploring all the things the place we now call home has to offer. The cherry orchard we went to is only about 30 minutes from our home.
For the last week I have done nothing but deal with people doing stupid things. On my way home tonight, I get a call that someone brought an injured bear cub home! Geez! Had to deal with that for the last 3 hours.
Stupid people win stupid prizes!!
So, seriously though, what do you do with the little guy now?
He had been hit on the interstate and had a broken back. We had to euthanize him. It was a yearling about 60#. Tore the guys leg up. He threw him in the back of a minivan.
Talked to an officer buddy of mine in SC. Had kind of the same thing happen the other day down there. A guy saw one hit and thought it was dead. It was 150#. When he grabbed hold of it, it took his calf off from his knee to his ankle
