It ain't just POURING. The rain is at "Force Level ELEVEN" ---- just getting the ladder was an Exercise in Exasperation. The ladder use-to be hung Old Man Nicely, out of the way, out of sight, under the deck...ya' knowl like PERFECT. Thing is, I hated HOW it was suspended. I'd used my choker chains because I didn't want to drill I into the 4 By's to screw in the Perfect Brackets I had. There was just SOMETHING about compromising the 4 X 4. I couldn't bring myself to do it. Problem with that was, every time I needed the ladder I had to FUCK-WITH those chains. You want AGGRAVATION ????? I GUARANTEED seething frustration, self-loathing, and an INFURIATION of my own LAZINESS that absolutely THRILLED me. That location had to go. I had to free up the choker chains.
So ----Where oh where should my dumb ladder go ?
Oh where oh where should it be ???
Keep in mind it's a 20 foot extension ladder, unwieldy at best, at worst a spinal tap ---- one wrong move and it's vertebral subluxation of the PASS-OUT Sort. Plus, when I work with my own self-hatred it excites the fuck out of me. I get so PISSED I can, like, do the work of 20 addled geriatrics.
Since I needed it for tree work, I had simply dropped it on the ground near the trees I had to work. Once again, I KNEW BETTER, but I'm so goddamn LA-Z I couldn't bring myself to position it properly, even though I had a PERFECT PLACE for it, on the chain-link fence that is the rear boundary. No and FUCK NO, on the ground it went. It's Aluminum with a nylon rope so what could be the problem ??? Well, WEEDS and BITTERSWEET were the problem, after only a Little While, the ladder had again gotten CHOKED. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME ???
The wind and rain were whipping and ripping my face.
Good times.....
