House across the street is undergoing a major remodel.

It's the granddaughter of the elderly folks that used to live there, he's 97 and she's about five years younger. The gal is their only grandchild so grampa dotes on her big time and gave her and her hubby the house when they moved to assisted living. For nearly a month there has been a huge dumpster sitting in the driveway, and for well over a year I've been trying to get rid of an old car tire removed from a Valkyrie rear wheel. The regular trash pickup won't take it.....but now I see an answer to my dilema. Soon as the sun sets, I'm gonna be rollin', rollin' rollin'.

  We finished a major remodel in December, then in March a new roof and pitched and tied the flat roof into the main roof. We had a large dumpster on and off for months. I think my lovely neighbors dumped just about all there unwanted crap every night. We even woke one morning to a full size sofa sticking out on it's end. Unwanted hazmat chemicals, paint cans, tires, old TV's you name it.

I'm sure others in the 'hood have done the same here. This is the second trash trailer, the first one filled up real fast and the workers would joke about it. Seems it filled up faster than the demo debris they were creating. This second one now has a car tire in it, an afterdark deposit.

We have a solid waste transfer station about 2 miles from here, they allow me to dump 10 tires per year. Saves a lot of grief getting rid of them.

I suppose there are some advantages to living in rural Florida.  Our small county has several strategic locations to take your trash/tires/motor oil/limbs etc.  One is downtown Worthington Springs.  I used to just pour used oil on fence posts before we all became environmentally conscious.  I remember my Dad changing the oil in front of our house when I was in about the 8th grade and he pulled the car across the ditch and pulled the drain plug.  Strange that grass didn't grow there for the next 30 years.

House across the street sold and being renovated a bit, with dumpster out front.  I was tempted to drag a big old lazy boy over there, but that is no way to make new friends (I could have hidden a tire in there). 

So I have a big old lazy boy free to a good home.  Worn, wobbles, half the springs broken, and the footrest stays up if you fight with it for awhile.  Just pay $500 shipping and it's yours.

A couple of years ago, the house across the street was bought after a foreclosure.  They had a dumpster out there for quite a while.  I watched another neighbor throwing all kinds of things away in there...including a fridge...WTF??  I spoke with the new home owners on a few instances and they freely offered up the dumpster should I have anything I needed to get rid of...and complained about the other neighbor that didn't ask.

Not to chastise... but instead of doing the midnight pitch and run, you should have asked the home owner (or contractor) if it was ok to do it.  Most would have probably let you without a problem.

Hey Jess if you hang on to that Lazyboy until I come by on the way to Maggie Valley I will take it off your hands if it will fit on the bike.  LOL!
P.S.  I am joking.  You would probably find a way to tie it on the bike while I wasn't looking.

Years ago while still in the throes of batchelorhood, I had this old platform rocker that also swiveled around and had a footrest that kicked up like a recliner. It was sooo comfy, I could sit in it and fall asleep in no time. When Rita and I got married, I dragged it along....much to her consternation. She finally asked why I wanted to keep it, told her it was comfy. She then commented it must have broken springs and holes in the upholstery....no, not at all. Then why do you have that big cover over it. Well honey, that's because it's ugly. Oh....that's much better.  She's never let me live that one down.

Well, it cannot be tied on the bike Rog....... but you could drag it.   

Never fear,  I have a good neighbor who will haul it to the dump for me.  Casting your bread upon the water snow-blowing your neighbor's walks often pays dividends.

Hey Rog, sent you a PM.
