Went to Mom's to clean the leaves and "spinners
Out of the eaves troughs. She's on my case to do
it today because it's going to rain tomorrow.

I'd hauled the heavy ladder around, been up and
down. it's in the 80s out and humid, and I'm
about to my limit of strength. Mom asks the same
question several times. She'll want to know if
the drain spout is clogged. And a minute later,
ask the same. I know that's her absentminded, but
I read it as she didn't trust me the first time.
You know, like cops "do you know how fast you
were going?" "you asked me that seven times
already, what, I didn't give you the answer you
wanted, ass hole?"

So, I'm at my physical limit, and she mentions
off hand that the reason I'm cleaning the gutters
is that the last time it rained, the water poured
off the eaves trough by the window, and she thinks
they are clogged.

Drink some more water, stand in the shade. Go look.
The water pours there because the fascia board is
rotted, the copper clamp that holds up is coming
lose, and the edge of the eaves trough is lower,
there. And none of the troughs had more than 1/6 of
the trough full of spinners.

There is a lot of advantage to reporting the problem
(water pours off, here...) rather than calling for
specific action (clear the gutters).

I might have actually fixed the problem.

Be glad someone has a big enough heart to claim you as a son.

No you didn't. Define your spinners.

Right. This is an international list. In some countries "spinner" means insect.

Yellow, when they fall off. Usually breaks in two,
spins down from the tree. Grows into maple trees,
in the eaves troughs.

Rare mutant triple seed, ours are always one or two.

Put up with a similar problem here, but not maple ... some other tree.
After 4 years of cleaning out the gutters and getting 4 years older, I
had gutter helmets (there many brands of such devices) installed. It
wasn't cheap but wow, how great these things work. Some years ago I had
many maple trees so I put gutter covers which had holes. They were
worse than cleaning the gutters. The maple seeds would go into each
hole with the spinner wing hanging up because it was wider than the seed
itself. Then you'd have to sit there and pick them out 1 at a time.

Pine cone nuts do similar. Except the are brown. When the cone opens
they travel in the wind, settle and take root. I can see them being a
problem in eve gutters, too.

I just knew somebody would know

(Urban words)

Las Vegas: spinner
A petite woman. Denoted as a joke, whereby the petite woman is so thin
she is able to be mounted and spun in a circle on an erect penis.
"She's a spinner."

Chicago: Tacky chrome rims that spin regardless of whether the
vehicle is in motion. Scope out my pimpin Bentley wit Spinners and
racing stripes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A few years back I saw a car, maybe a early 90's Buick Century, being
driven by a old guy, probably in his 80's. As he sat at the red light, his
rims were just spinning, spinning, spinning.

It was the strangest thing I had ever seen. Nothing else on the car, or in
it ;-) was pimped out, just the wheels. Very strange.
