Men and the way they roll

Men crack me up. They are the funniest of creatures. We were over at Melissa and Jer's house today. They built a deck a few weeks ago and got a free hot tub from a co-worker of ours. So to facilitate where they are gonna put said hot tub they decided they needed a drainage system. So basically our whole purpose in going over there was for Steve to check out the size of these two holes Jeremy had dug for their drainage system. Rather than help the poor bugger dig the holes, my loving hubby gave him the tools to do the job himself. And dig holes Jer did. I don't recall ever seeing to bigger frigging holes in my life. (Unless you count the time we were throwing pennies at those two hookers in Calgary. hahA

So they borrow our truck to go and get some gravel to fill the holes Jer dug half way to China. No problem.. SO we ge there and Jer is hauling gravel one piddly wheel barrow at a time, through the garage and up a few steps before making his way to the holes. Does my husband help??? Hell No! He alternately stood there, sat there, smoked, pawerd through Melissa's garage sale treasures and was of no general use whatsoever.

Naturally Melissa and I are watching all this from the comfort of her kitchen table diet Pepsi's in hand. As the fellers are walking throught he garage I see Steve has his hand extended. I say to Melissa " bet ya five bucks he's saying to Jer 'what is all this crap and why does she have it all out here on a table?' Knowing him as I do, it was darn near exactly what he said.

Then they had a walk over to the fence, where a discussion about the leaning fence was had. Called that one too! Ambled over to the hot tub to check on the status of an alleged crack, commented on the dogrun and looked at the bunnies in their cage. Well naturally then it was smoke time. Invitations were extended on both male bahalves to "stay for supper". Neither of them checking with their respective spouses to see if any plans were in the making for the evening.

So then the filling of the whole began. Melissa unearthed the dirt from it's protective tarp and Jer started swinging the shovel. Steve on the other hand sat down on a bench, smoked and offered his oppinion yet again.

So we come home. There is a chilly wind blowing, good night for a soak in the hot tub. Does the man join me??? Oh yes eventaully he did.....after the overtime period was over in the hockey game he was watching. Me, I had a soak in the tub, got a phone call to go out with a few girlfriends, went to a local "watering hole" where we proceeded to talk about.....you guessed it..... MEN! ROFL
