Man from Mars part 2

A few minutes ago I was sitting here blogging away and I heard FOOTSTEPS on the roof over my head. I almost fell over myself getting out the door and There He Was.... My Man From Mars... ON THE ROOF cleaning off the leaves and limbs.

 NOTE: Bob will be 75 in 3 short months. He is on the roof with two rakes and a gas powered blower that has to be CRANKED while standing on the roof.
 He was up there for almost and hour. I was on the ground sweating in 98 degree heat with a gazillion mosquitoes eating on me, afraid to go inside until he was down. I got in the pool to do my exercises while I Baby sat the Man from Mars but was so stressed I could not count the strokes. (you should know here that my middle name is Chicken Little as in the sky is falling. OR in this case the man is falling OFF THE ROOF)
 Look careful at the ladder right at the roof line and tell me it is LEVEL. or so he SAID
 This is the scowl I got when he realized I was documenting his episode for my blog.
I wanted some excitement in my life, but REALLY! and YES, this is all I have to blog about, so you can tell I could use some excitement.
 In these two photos you might notice THE POWER LINES.....
 He is safe and I am NOT telling him I am posting this for Thursday Thoughts On Men From Mars. Share a story of your man from mars if you have one. Or perhaps someone has a story of a Woman from Mars.

The Man from Mars

 Ride all the way to Timbuktu to pick up box, open box,
 remove 500.00 pool filter
 Gather two good helpers NOTE THE PANTING IN THE SUN
 enter the Man From Mars. (you all know men are from Mars and women are from Venus)


Mars: I am not waiting until tomorrow, I am doing nothing right now, I'll be out back installing the filter

Venus: It is 2 pm, the hottest part of the day and it is 100 degrees IN THE SHADE

Mars: I do the hard stuff today, and save the impossible for tommorrow

Venus: Do NOT call me if you have heat stroke

The glass of ice water Venus took to Mars, to insure he did not have to call when he had heat stroke

Mars survived, the 500.00 filter is running, and it is Another Day in the Life Of Venus and Mars
