Today I took the GPS and headed out of town for work. On the other side of one of the big indian reservations is a slowly developing area. I had to shoot in some monuments and property corners. I was walking down the road when a lady came up to me and told me that her neighbor is stealing her land. She said her neighbor sneaks out at night and moves her property corner little by little. She figures that she's lost about 4 feet over the years. I told her it would cost about $750-1000 for me to come out and put her property corners where they are supposed to be. She said she just wanted to see how much land she had lost and didn't need the full blown treatment. I was shooting in the property corners anyway so I told her for $50 I'd shoot in her neighbors two front corners and her two front and tell her how wide both of the lots were. She ran into the house, grabbed $50 and some paperwork she had downloaded. She showed me that her neighbors lot should be 220 ft wide and her's should be 222 ft wide. I shot in the neighbor's first and came up with 220.08 ft. then the lady said that the corner to her property, not shared with neighbor, had been washed away in a storm, but she could tell by looking at her back corner exactly where her corner should be. She dug a little hole and chugged her beer and half buried the can where I was to take my final shot. I took the shot and found that she had been pretty close in her guess. her lot which should have been 222 ft was really 222.9 ft. When I told her this answer she said but really this lot should be on a diagonal so the corner should be right here. She moved the beer can to a new spot. I shot in her new corner and lo and behold now her lot was 218 ft wide. 4 ft short just like she said. She was very happy then and asked me to please put something in writing for her. So I drew, in pencil, on the back of a piece of scrap paper, 3 dots in a line. I wrote the horizontal distance from this rebar to this rebar is 220.08 ft and the horizontal distance from this rebar to the beer can is 218 ft.
I gave it to her and she was happy as could be and I was $50 richer.

What I found most interesting was that, upon hearing the first number for her property and knowing exactly how far she needed the can moved, she was still excited and felt vindicated when the second number was the one she wanted. She needed 4 feet, she moved the can 4 feet, and was satisfied that this proved she had been right all along.

And it didn't phase her a bit that the neighbor's property marker was exactly the right place, not 4 feet too long. Maybe it's her other neighbor she needs to be worrying about. :rofl:

Her poor neighbor came outside while we were out there and tried to do some work in her garden. My lady started muttering, "look at her. She's a nosy, troublemaker.

Just how many other cans of beer did she have out there? How early in the day was this?
Did she have a neighbor on the beer can side? If so, it was quite nice of her to donate 4 feet to them! Probably makes it worth putting up with her as a neighbor. 220 feet seems too close to live to someone like that.
This story is priceless

that's so true. Once I came to the realization that sex is better when both people enjoy themselves my life changed. I was SOOO horrible in my youth, but as I've aged and matured I've become SOOO good that I can't believe I was ever as bad as I was.

If you've read everything I've written you'd see that I'm pretty self-depricating. I'll admit when I make mistakes and if I'm not good at something. Does that make you wonder whether or not I simply pick my sexual prowess as the thing I exaggerate, or if I'm being truthful in that area as well?

oh it gets crazy. I have to brag a little bit here, skip ahead if you don't want to hear it. While making love my ex began one of those full body, leg locking, arms extended don't move, don't touch, body shivering orgasms. I was dying of thirst so I went into the kitchen and got a drink (insensitive? maybe, but she didn't want to be touched at that moment.) I drank a glass of water, got another and took it into the bedroom. She was in the same state as when I left. She packed a lunch for me everyday for the rest of the week and didn't complain about me spending too much time online.
I have no idea if there is a limit on the number of orgasms a woman can have, seems like once they start they just don't stop. Like that rabbit smacking the drum.

I never leave it up anymore, the lid that is. I had a hard time getting used to putting it down though. I always figured it was just as easy for the girl to remember to put it down before she used it as it was for a guy to remember after he used it. Plus the girl got a little negative reinforcement when she forgot, making it easier to remember the next time.

Nope, just means she takes it out on you more. I actually don't care about having to put it down, I always have the lid on the toilet too, so putting the seat down or picking the lid up is all as much effort, I just think it looks bad to have the seat up in the bathroom. That's why toilets have lids and not just seats.
