So I'm out in the garage doing curls (not that Olympic shuffleboard-looking crap but with weights) and up walks two guys and I immediately recognized one. He was in the 11th MEU in Somalia when I was. They were handing out flyers for some Memorial Day service at the church up the road. The other guy was retired Air Force.

First thing he asked was how did I end up here. I was born here? We chit-chatted a bit and they moved on. That was MY surreal moment for the day

I bet you can't beat my youngest granddaughter. She can destroy one room completely in about a second or two. She's the if she's looking for something everything else gets thrown over her shoulder type and talk about OCD? If she's looking for something she'll destroy everything in her path until she finds it

When I get going on a project tools are everywhere, floor is dirty, shit scattered all over, then it's time to clean.

I don't mind. I love my shop. One of the big reasons I bought this place. I spend the majority of my time out here, it's where all my toys are...

[High_Plains_Drifter]

The newest toy. I have officially declared WAR on the mosquitoes...

That’s the way guys I know cook, too. I’m more of a clean up the kitchen as I go type.

Yeah... kitchen too...

And I hate to wash dishes almost as much as I hate to have to fold clothes, and I even have one of the cool little clothes folder deals.

Yeah, but that little phrase "time to clean" doesn't register nor compute to this little "Denise the Menace"

I'll tell ya, growing up on a farm us kids had household "chores" to do, and that included cleaning our rooms, making our own bed, helping wash and wipe dishes, vacuuming, mowing the lawn, etc, on top of our farm chores, and that was as soon as we were old enough to do them. If we could make a mess we were old enough to clean it up too. We weren't allowed to just "play" all the time, although there was plenty of time for that. I'm glad my parents made us do that. I might have grumbled a little now and then but for the most part no one listened anyway. Just do your chores, shut the hell up and get them done, THEN you can PLAY. I'm pretty much the same way still.
