"If aliens saw us walking our dogs and picking up their poop, who would they think is in charge?"   
                                                                         --Anonymous--

Here is a provocative tidbit sent my way:
      
       "Today I placed my Smith & Wesson .357 Mag revolver on the table right next to my front door.
I left 6 cartridges beside it, then left it alone and went about my business.
        While I was gone, the mailman delivered my mail, the neighbor's son across the street mowed the yard, a girl walked her dog down the street, and quite a few cars stopped at the "stop" sign near the front of my house.
        After about an hour, I checked on the gun. It was quietly sitting there, right where I had left it. It had not moved itself outside. It had not killed anyone. Certainly, even with the numerous opportunities it had presented to do that. In fact, it had not even loaded itself.
        Well you can imagine my surprise, with all the hype about how dangerous guns are and how they kill people, either that is wrong or I'm in possession of the laziest gun in the world.
        The United States is third in murders throughout the world but if you take out just five cities: Chicago, Detroit, Washington DC, St Louis and New Orleans (They have the toughest Gun Control Laws in the USA)-- the United States is 4th from the bottom, in the ENTIRE world, for murders.
        It would be absurd to draw any conclusions from this data, right?  Well, I'm off to check on my spoons. I hear they're making people fat.

Stuff like that is enough to make you think, no?

Slip Corners: The way contactors pour pier foundation pads JUST CHANGED. Just think how a Jello mold works!

The Slip Corner has a battered angle.
 
How Slip Corners work...
  • Slip corners were developed to allow a contractor to strip an entire pad assembly in one piece.
  • The top of the corners have reinforced lifting lugs.
  • When forms are bolted to the tapered corner, it automatically places the forms on a slight batter.
  • Because the forms are battered, they free themselves as they are lifted.
  • Slip corners are 3' tall. You can either lay forms horizontally or stand 3' forms up vertically.

Husqvarna Automowers.
See one in action on Gamka's front lawn at our World HQ!
   
   
Automower....
   or goat?
It's your choice! 
               
With a robotic lawnmower, the grass gets mowed automatically - around the clock without your supervision. Cuttings are small enough that you won't need to rake the clippings, adding fertilization back to the soil. Goats do too. The Husqvarna Automower� is able to maintain 1/3  up to 1-1/4 acre lawns in any weather, with rough terrain and slopes up to 45%. When it meets an obstacle it stops and redirects itself. It also knows when it needs to be charged. With the convenient setting control panel, your robot mower allows you to set it and forget it. This is effortless lawn mowing at its best.  Or you can get a goat.

SAFETY TIP OF THE MONTH: Bee Stings
 honeybee.jpg        PREVENTING BEE STINGS   
If a job entails working in close proximity to bees or places an employee at greater risk of exposure, the following precautions should be taken: Avoid wearing perfumes, colognes and bright colored clothing. Bees are attracted to fragrances and bright colors much like flowers. Whenever possible, wear long sleeves and pants to minimize exposed skin. Never swat bees. This will only make them more aggressive.Avoid crushing bees. Crushing can release distress scents that call other bees. Exercise caution when working with vines or lifting tarps. Bees are not always immediately visible and can lurk in unexpected places. 
                              
                                         WHAT TO DO WHEN STUNG 
First, remain calm. Try to remove the stinger as quickly as possible, preferably within one minute. Do not attempt to remove the stinger with your fingers or tweezers. Pinching the stinger will squeeze the venom sac and increase the amount of venom injected into the skin. Remove the stinger with a flat, rigid surface such as a credit card. Apply ice or first-aid cream to the affected area. Elevate stung arms and legs. Carefully monitor any person stung to make sure they are not exhibiting serious reactions. 50% of people experience allergic reactions to bee stings within 30 minutes. Report a sting immediately even if no treatment is required.
