Nope, you could back a truck up to my outside bin:
Just bury the bastards right away, that 's what a tractor with a backhoe is for !!
I caught a kid 'keying' a car in a parking lot.. it wasn't my car,, but I sat on him and had to 'subdue' him ocassionally untill the cops showed up. The cops tried to give me some *censored*,, untill my buddy, also a cop showed up, and straightend out the officers who responded to the original call..
I told the cops that they were damned lucky that they only needed their handcuffs, and not an ambulance.. my buddy shut me up and sent me home
That was decades ago, when I weighed about 25# more and had pants with a 4" smaller waist !!
I guess I'm lucky my impulsive temper hasn't got me in more trouble over the years..

Nope. I know most everybody around here, most are wood burners and one has a Pine Barren coal stove, he got invited in to see the EFM. They rest of them probably can't figure out why I'm out there every day with a shovel filling a bucket and carrying it into the house, but they might not even notice because they are too busy trying to figure out how to pay the oil bill.
