On Saturday, I got around to finishing with the load of dirt from a week earlier. When I was done I took the sides off and hosed everything down.

On Sunday I took a load of brush to the dump. I tossed all the trees and branches in and tied a rope over it all. At the brush pile, I untied the rope and started throwing stuff. Right after I pulled in, a guy with a pickup came in. He had a redneck swimming pool going on with a tarp in the truck bed (don't want to get sap or scratches on the paint) and it was full of branches, pine needles and stuff. He got out of the truck and stood by the bed, finally realizing that he was going to have to reach over the shoulder high bedrails to empty that mess handful by handful- or climb up in there and throw it all out into a pile right at his fender. I said to myself "dump closes in half an hour" and went home. I'll bet he's hauling that load around all week.
