You always looked better in blue'd.
I found a better way to enhance my cherry swirl effect!
After a vigorous run with the orbital and the 120 grit, I pour some granulated chlorine on then pat it into all the grooves and crevices.
Hit it with the heat gun for 20 min or an episode of Gilligan's island then use my 3200 psi pressure washer with some gasoline mixed in. Leaves me walking away feeling all tingly and talk about a GLOW!!!

The shrew song

Following an exhaustive internet search, I've unearthed rare, never before seen footage of Bark as a child! It seems he was just as garboilled and fixated by rodents then as now!

Lary, Scotty and a few others. You guys are full of, of, of - shrews. At least it is humorous baloney that you guys are shrewing around.

No way, if I'd have know you can call off duty Fireman for help, I'd have been dialing them all the time to see who they send!

The outside is done, just the inside needs to be done. Given my current situation there is no way I can finish it. Hopefully, we can get enough out of it that we can buy a mobile home in the same trailer park as Bark.
Aw man that sounded like a great plan. But I understand the decision. Hopefully you'll get what you need in the sale.

And you prob'ly think Bark is gonna take care of you in your old age? The only thing he can do is eat whatever food you make and infest your home with shrews.

Hey, the plastic flamingos out front and using the cars as flower planters give it a classy appearance.
Retirement home: We were building a cabin out at Moose point.
From Capt Cook park its 19 miles of driving on the beach only at low tide to get there. No cell phone signal.
We didn't know that my wife was diabetic until she went into ketoacidosis and her heart went nuts.
If we had been out there during high tide she probably would have died. Sold it.

It was too late to find Huck. Talked to a neighbor this morning and he spotted Huck this afternoon. Between the wounds on his side, and what truck was driven were by who to do what, I think I know who got him. He's wrapped in his blanket out front, need to dig a hole beside Tiny for him. I'm chugging the rest of this beer and going to bed. Take tomorrow off work and do it.

If I was closer I'd be right there beside you my friend. I know what kind of hurt you're going thru and there's nothing that can take that away, but maybe by knowing someone else has been in your shoes, it will help. Please lay Huck to rest with his head facing east.

Oh um... Lary... forgot to tell you, I had a bit of a problem with the washing machine you let me borrow. Could anyone else loan me theirs for a day or so. I'll give it back, HONEST!

That is the best one yet. Five stars to the tub and hinges! Now put it back together, it belonged to Lary's wife.

Howdy gang - - got internet tonight. Read two days of posting and much more confused than when I started. Ya'll are craze. ................

In Talkeetna parked next to the RR station and airport. Small planes heading into the glaciers and around Denali are taking off and landing all the time. Since it does not get dark here right now, I wonder how long that will go on. Been too long since being here to remember.

Heading on down toward Anchorage tomorrow. Should have better connections there for a few days before heading in to the nether land again down toward the Shrew man. Maybe we can cross paths - - uh Bark and me, not the shrews!!!!!!!!!

OK, no ph00, so ph00ey on it. Will just drink water. Later,

Bob
