Southern Funny 15

Q. What's the difference between a northern fairytale and a southern fairy tale??

A. A northern fairytale begins, "Once upon a time…" and a southern fairytale begins, "Y'all ain't gonna believe this sh*t!"

Sears Catalog Order

Two rednecks were looking at a Sears catalog and admiring
the models. One says to the other, 'Have you seen the
beautiful girls in this here catalog?'

The second one replies, 'Yep, they are very beautiful,
and look at the price, ooowweee!!

The first one says, with wide eyes, 'Wow, they aren't
very expensive. At this price, I'm buying one.'

The second one smiles and pats him on the back. 'Good idea
Jed'. Order one and if she's as beautiful as she is in
the catalog, I'll get one too.'

Three weeks later, the youngest redneck asks his friend,
'Did you ever receive the girl you ordered from the Sears
catalog?'

The second redneck replies, 'No, but she shouldn't be long
now, cuz she mailed me all her underwear yesterday.'

More Painting

Well yet another project done. We got projects all over the place ☺ One major one was sanding down and painting all the outdoor furniture we have around the outdoor fire pit. Toby helped...mostly by staying out of the way...
(Before)

...I got all the furniture sanded down with help from the orbital sander, thank you Mr. Dewalt...my arm still aches from that thing! ☺
Then it was lots and lots of painting, got it done in two days, which is good, because the forecast calls for rain tomorrow.
(During)

(After)
