More heymikey auction delays; one disaster after another

Well, I intended to work on getting the tree packeaged up over the weekend. Instead, on Friday I got the stomach flu and spent the evening heaving my guts. Didn't get out of bed much at all on Saturday, and on Sunday I discovered that sewage had backed up and flooded the entire lower level of the house.

Lemme tell you, spending the day using a shop-vac to suck your own vomit and other misc. crap off the floor is not fun when you are recovering from the flu.

So, needless to say, no trees got worked on. Sorry gang - I'll be getting to it as soon as I can.

- bob

I promise not to be upset about any delays if you promise not to tell that story again.

Hope you're feeling better soon, Bob!

No kidding!!

And no one wants to open their box and find a surprise in it. So, Bob, until you can digest again..... just hang onto those trees, willya? Please?

sorry about the graphic detail. Hope no one was reading this over the lunch hour.

Feeling much better now, the professional clean-up crew has sanitized the lower level, and the insurence adjuster is due out tomorrow. Also, the guys with the back-hoe to dig up the pipes clogged with tree roots.

That's why all trees should be in pots!
