Lessons from the Weekeend
1. When firing up your parent's seldom used gas grill, make sure there is not a squirrel living in it first.
2. Tell your mother, " Don't do that. Don't do that, Don't do that!, DON'T DO THAT!, GAWDDAMMIT DON'T DO THAT!!!" will result in her leaning metal posts against your truck not once but twice and make you a bad child for yelling at your mother.
3. No one will sell me a damn trailer.
4. People will abandon just about anything, such that the truck and trailer load of swingsets, concrete block, and plants I hauled home from Alabama.
5. Having semi-major abdominal surgery resulting in a 8 inch incision and a newly rearranged set of guts and being put on 2 weeks rest with no lifting or driving will not deter my father from riding around North Alabama and picking up scrap metal.
6. A $10 walmart straw hat does an excellent job of preventing severe sunburn even if I look like a tool wearing it.
7. If you take your inside dog to the farm, it will immediately head for a pile of cow crap and roll in it.
8. No one else will give your poop covered dog a bath.
9. I can grill some damn tasty chicken.
10. Hatton is still Hatton.
