        As an American I had no clue about any of this…couldn't even name whoever is getting married and don't care who they are.

          My Norwegian royalist wife cannot believe that each and every friend or family member of mine from the UK she has been introduced to has zero f@cks to give when it comes to The Windsors. She gets mortally offended when I can’t remember who’s who.

            Didn't you hang out with one of the Norwegian royals once?  That makes you like a duke or something, right?

                The irony here being that Hot Ingrid flipped her lid about me doing a day’s work with the Crown Prince of Norway but probably couldn’t pick Haraki-san out of a line up consisting of himself and nine blond twenty year olds.

                Me, I’d rather be a dude than a duke.

                    Who are the Windsor's?

                    I ask what you guys think because British citizens are portrayed here as being very proud of the royal family and what they “represent” American media lies?? Outrageous.

                    Think of all the IH gear you can buy with “Duke” money.

                    Maybe so. Maybe not

                      I’m skeptical of this. Unless of course you don’t watch any need at all. In that case I get it. Or stand in line at a checkout counter that has magazines. But you do live in Arizona and claim to never be outside… i guess I believe you  😃

                        You're skeptical of this yet you just asked who the Windsor's are  😉

                        I'm dead serious.  I never watch TV unless it's sports….only reason I have cable at all is to watch my soccer games.  I don't read the magazines in line at the grocery store either.  I ignore the media as much as possible.

                        You've got it a bit twisted...I work outside so I'm outside M-F most of the working hours.  In reference to the shorts discussion I was just saying that during the summer in AZ, on my days off, if I'm hanging out outside it's generally around a body of water and/or a grill which means I would obviously have some board shorts/trunks on.  Other than that I'm not hanging out outdoors.  It goes without saying that it's hot AF here in the summer.

                            The Windsor question was tongue in cheek. I didn’t know there last name…

                            Yeah I hear ya. I didn’t watch the news until my wife, she was my GF at the time moved in years back. Now I am Fully aware of what’s going on in the world.

                            Working outside in the summer must be a beast in AZ I’ve played baseball there in September and October to I was Insane. Dirt was so dry and hard that when you slid  it nearly ripped your damned pants off!

                              The House of Windsor is the royal house of the UK. They used to be called The House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha but had to change it because it was too German. Which tells you about all you need to know in my opinion.

                                  😃 yep!  We have whats called caliche out here which basically soil that's damn near as hard as concrete.  My back yard was full of it and I dug my own sprinkler system which was overambitious and a bit dumb among other other things….and the ground was almost impossible to dig through in certain points.  Damn that was a tough job

                                      Yeah man, I hear that. I’ve dug tens of thousand if holes in my days. Don’t think I’ve had anything as hard as that Arizona baseball field.. digging irrigation in that by hand?! Damn son. Should have rented a ditch witch trenching machine. Next time right?! Around here the only thing that comes close to the clay out there is virgin, undisturbed soil. And there ain’t much of that here. Came across it one time in the crawl space of a 200 year old house. Had to use a chipping hammer drill to break it up. Anyways stay cool bro!

                                          That experience should have just convinced that a desert should not have sprinkler systems.

                                            You're right, that's exactly what it did.  There will be no next time.  No more grass yards for me.
