Friday Fun in Construction
Filed under: Ned Weirdness — Tags: — nedpelger

A bit of levity to end the work week. Here’s a use for all those old VCR tapes we have gathering dust on our shelves: VCR Blocking.

On this next photo, I love the normalcy of the folks just standing waiting for a bus. The likelihood of the bus stop canopy crashing down on them doesn’t appear to be a concern.

I’m imagining a workman’s comp case and the construction company owner decides that if the employee has to be on crutches, he can still come to the job site and shovel. Hence the invention of the crutch-shovel.

Hope you have a wonderful good week-end.

I Don’t Know Much…But This is Funny
Filed under: Construction — Tags: — nedpelger

My friend Kneal sent me this construction site video that had me laughing out loud. If you work in or around construction, I guarantee you will laugh if you watch. A warning, though, you may find some of the language offensive.

Hope you have a day where laughter invades your life. Remember, the first 100 years is the hardest.

Friday Silliness
Filed under: Ned Weirdness — Tags: — nedpelger

Well, we made it through another week…in fact we checked off another summer into the past column.

I encourage you to take a moment to remember and enjoy Monty Python’s Silly Olympics. You deserve a good laugh.
