I hate Mimosa trees (large weeds)

I hate these large weeds and I can say that cutting them down with a circular saw takes a lot of work.  I also hate the pink flower things that fall everywhere.  I need to purchase a chain saw.

I was searching the internet and someone actually is trying to sell Mimosa trees ($5 for a 6′ to 7′).  If you purchase 5 Mimosa trees for $10 a piece you get a free business link on their site for a year.  Cool!  Check it out for more details:  http://www.texassam.com/mypoems.htm

Car / Truck accident – I65 North bound

IMG_5897.JPGIMG_5904.JPG

A 18 wheeler is not supposed to be on its side.  Maybe that is why there is smoke and everyone is driving terrible.  I was thinking about getting in the fast lane to take some pictures but they were driving soooooo slow.  The second picture is I guess the driver of the rig thanking God.

Nice picture of the Birmingham Fire and Resque Service truck.  Looks like the truck was hauling crushed cars?  So hopefully there were no fatalities.  Now for the bad taste fatality image.

Flojet push lock problem – Update

I swapped out the check valve today.  It was fun.  Luckily I have had plenty of practice changing out all the other bays.

Looks like everything was fine with the D/H check valve.  The last picture was interesting though; the inside looks cracked.  Not sure why that would affect anything though.
