Pal! Good job on the tree! And having fun with it, whether he'd play along or not. I guess you kinda used him, and he didn't even know he was used! You didn't offer a roll, did you? You know, as long as we are both around here, that word is going to have a little different meaning!

The mattress really doesn't bother me. Although it might if I had a good one to compare it to! It's the first mattress we bought, so that would be late 1984! It did spend 6 or 7 years in storage, but it is pretty used up. But, I ike your thinking. I may pull that out at the opportune moment, as Capt. Jack Sparrow would say!
