Well, come May 5th, there'll be at least ONE lab there. Last year Michael won Firefighter Instructor of the year. As a part of that, he got an all expense paid trip for two to Disney. He decided to take Jake but what he didn't realize is that Jake's handler has to be with him at all times, so I get to go too!

Morning DTR
up early with benefits.

Shorts, vet called yesterday; kitty is not 13 but 8, spayed (hopefully quiet now) and the last two teeth (big cougar fangs!!) were pulled. told vet to save them for me, I will make cat dentures. she did not know I was kidding.

machined a part for de Harley, should call it johnny cash bike.
"it's a '57, '58,'59,parts of '60, '61......machine"

I like original parts and making them fit to today's bike. looks like a '61 panhead springer front end. ran great the ONE day we had nice weather with no snow. put cooling devices on the engine for those Patriot Guard slow
duties....nice not having roasted LEGGS!!!!!

Hey Scottycanuck- my nephew is proud of himself, fitness is his priority.
we are proud because his legs were seriously burned when a tractor pinned him to the ground after it flipped and caught fire. got drummed out of the Army at basic 2 days in. now he presses 220 lbs and squatted 315 (4) times. runs ToughMudder courses and helps the newbies....
do you have an old t shirt for this 26 y.o. ? wanted to affirm his turn around.

Tallguy67

How do the boneless pigs get around the yard??

Scotty

They probably piggy back.

Mom, PM me bout the shirts.

Shorts

Chaikwa, sounds like a crazy time. You know they serve beer right? lol I'd be there every hour. We like kids, but they just ain't as well trained or quiet as dogs DH wants the entire family to go in 2016 for his parents 40th anniversary. I think he bit off more than he can chew with that one.

I saw news footage of this. The force of the destruction was incredible. Terrible terrible scene.


JWBM, so Kitty is a little younger than thought? Well, you'll probably get ore crazy years from her then Glad she came out of surgery all right.

Tallguy, I wondered the same about boneless chickens. But I forget they have wings

railroaderone

What about the boneless chicken wings?

Getting my left ankle looked at for surgury in a couple weeks going to some bone removal on it.

Chrisreyn

Boneless chickrn wings !??!
What about Buffalo wings??? My people have hunted Buffalo for centuries and ain't never found one with wings.......

Sitting in the waiting room at the dentist . Hate waiting rooms and canned music
About enough to make me go home and pull my own dern tooth with a pair of pliers!


And, NO Scott , you can't help, you'd enjoy it too much

Shorts

The breakroom is really gimping along today lol I brought in an Ace bandage, staple gun and pliers. Everybody get in line, I'll fix you right up.



I did not see that one comin'


Chris, the southern buffalo have wings. The northern ones never acquired them because of the ice/frost conditions. No de-icer.

j_martin

This just ain't right. Just measured 11 inches of snow, and it's still snowing pretty heavily.

FiverBob

Man, that is just not right. Something wrong in that picture or wrong with my calendar - - this is the middle of April. DUH - - what is wrong with that old lady? (uhhh, that is "mother nature"). We were very cold here last night - - it got down to 64 - - wow.
