Even among the hardest trials, if at the end of the day we are still a family, It's all good!

A little Redneck Humor

Just for a giggle; (first a disclaimer; none of this is meant to be mean, the person and the dog represented in this post are genuinely very nice!) Our roof above Kate Lynn's room and the porch is in very serious disrepair! Often when it rains Kate Lynn's room is drenched! We reported it to our landlord and he agreed to have it fixed. He sent over his handyman to take a look and to make the repairs. This handyman represents every redneck joke any of you have ever heard! He can not talk to you for more than 10 minutes with needing to spit at least half a dozen times and you have difficulty understanding him, not for the southern drawl, more for the wad of chew he has shoved in his mouth. He has a son, just 15, whom he allows to drive his truck all over the neighborhood, not licensed or permitted by law. His son assists him with most jobs, when he is not at school. While at school I suppose then it is up to the dog to assist.He lives close by and we walk by his house at times, it is also like every redneck joke you have all heard. About this dog, this dog goes EVERYWHERE with him, today this man AND his dog are on our roof! First with the leaf blower to clean off the leaves, then the man tired from his efforts layed down on the roof to rest and chat on his cell phone. We had ran an errand and when we returned we came home to find him on his back and all we could see was a foot, we at first were alarmed he had gotten hurt. We were relieved when we realized what was up! He is now throwing the roof debris onto a homemade trailer he made. How it is road worthy is far beyond me. However, his attempts at making it airborne while he is flying down our road and hitting the big hole at the stop sign, may just bring the flying trailer to fruition! The roof will be done and may never leak, it also may take a better part of forever to have all the work done, it will provide much amusement on my part. I have often needed to come inside as not to laugh out loud at this man and his roofing dog. (Is there a class for training dogs like this? I know they have dogs bring people mail, this one holds down roofing shingles. Maybe I can teach Izzy to lay down tile?!) Kate Lynn has just come in laughing her fool head off, it would seem the man has just nearly fell of the roof twice in just a two minute span! After the first near miss he proceeded with his version of the "funky chicken" dance and a proclamation that he "just done near crapped all over himself". The 2cnd attempt was when he stepped forward and proceeded to step in the same place that almost sent him off the roof the first time! I need to go see what I am missing or if I need to set up a net!
