Made it to our destination.

I forgot to mention that just before we left home, right after I loaded the Stang, we(daughter and I) met up with the top CFL player in the league so she could get his autograph and a picture. Nice to have the right connections.

Nice of him to do it for her too. One on One

I bet you would have never heard the end it if he was the top CFL player not in the league!

Went out and fired up the MS250 this evening. Cut up an elm branch that was leaning over and touching the ground in the front yard. Have a couple big elms I want to get cut down sometime, but not going to do it myself, not without a backhoe or trackhoe, as I'd drop them on the house otherwise. Was going to pull the ones I cut down in the spring out of the weeds to cut, but forgot to grab a chain when I went for my saw.

The big Husky needs a sprocket cover, muffler, and chain yet. I can snag the sprocket cover off the other one, but doubt the muffler would be worth swapping over.

Doing some cooking. Got a ham steak in the oven, and burger on the stove for some velveeta cheesy skillets stuff. Last week I cooked the lasagne that Corry's wife made for me, fell asleep during the last 15 minutes of cooking, and ended up burning the top half. I went to bed about to cry. The first one was good, and I ruined the second. I got about enough out of the bottom of the pan for lunch the next day, and it kinda sucked without any cheese left in it.

If you don't mind sharing???? How about some info of what you did about the filter?

Well now you've done it, I'll never get this 2+ hours back. I remember that line as well but it doesn't seem so easy to answer. After a little research I found lyrics to a song but not the recording. After a little more research it appears the actual song was by Rick Dees, "Hurt me baby, make me write bad checks". I'll let you look that one up yourself though. You would remember him more for this one.



In an effort to be thorough I found another one of his classics, which in my opinion, needs to be revived from the archives.



You all know that when searching for information on the net, you have to run down a few (dozen) rabbit trails. Those little diversions that eat up your time and bandwidth but occasionally yield a tempting tidbit of entertainment. Somehow while searching for info about Rick Dees I hit on this soon to be Christmas classic. (any resemblance to any person here, either living or dead, is strictly a coincidence)



Somehow Jim Stafford and Dolly made the cut as well.

Yeah but it does get confusing sometimes because they can use an endoscope to see inside the upper GI tract and also use the same scope for a colonoscopy.
Make sure to ask them to clean the device first.

Chaikwa requested they use a borescope for his exam.

That is sad. I love lasagna esp if the top cheese is browned but not burnt.

Thanks for doing the research. Now I have lost a couple of hours and will probably lose a few more.
Sometimes its nice to be easily entertained.

Hey, when my wife is gone I don't do anything the rest of you people do.
Besides, nowadays for some reason, she locks up all her clothing when she goes out. She is kind of weird that way.

I had never seen the Dolly Parton Jim S version before.
But Peter Paul and Mary,, I can actually get some sleep.
Really!
Growing up on AF and SAC bases, protected by my school desk from nukes by employing Duck and Cover, PPM was a relief.
I still do not believe Puff was a song about marijuana because my bible group sang it and would never have promoted drug use.
Anyway, I appreciate the song and can now sleep soundly.
Unless I start thinking about shrews................

I'm not exactly sure how you took that comment, but I MEANT you have an 'entrance' end and an 'exit' end! And the exit end is 'one-way' as far as I'm concerned. The first thing that camera would see is the sign that says 'Wrong Way - Go Back'! If they can't see what they need to see from the on-ramp end, they ain't gonna see it!

I wonder if they let you watch the monitor as the procedure is done? That might actually be kinda fun!

Or badgers. Or llama's.



Morning all.

Today is Monday, August 5th.

1833 - The village of Chicago was incorporated. The population was approximately 250.

1861 - The U.S. federal government levied its first income tax. The tax was 3% of all incomes over $800. The wartime measure was rescinded in 1872.

1864 - During the U.S. Civil War, Union forces led by Adm. David G. Farragut were led into Mobile Bay, Alabama.

1884 - On Bedloe's Island in New York Harbor, the cornerstone for the Statue of Liberty was laid.

1914 - The electric traffic lights were installed in Cleveland, Ohio.

1944 - Polish insurgents liberated a German labor camp in Warsaw. 348 Jewish prisoners were freed.

1953 - During the Korean conflict prisoners were exchanged at Panmunjom. The exchange was labeled Operation Big Switch.

1964 - U.S. aircraft bombed North Vietnam after North Vietnamese boats attacked U.S. destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin.

1974 - U.S. President Nixon said that he expected to be impeached. Nixon had ordered the investigation into the Watergate break-in to halt.

1981 - The U.S. federal government started firing striking air traffic controllers.

1990 - U.S. President George H.W. Bush angrily denounced the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.

1991 - An investigation was formally launched by Democratic congressional leaders to find out if the release of American hostages was delayed until after the Reagan-Bush presidential election.

1991 - Iraq admitted to misleading U.N. inspectors about secret biological weapons.

1992 - Federal civil rights charges were filed against four Los Angeles police officers. The officers had been acquitted on California State charges. Two of the officers were convicted and jailed on violation of civil rights charges.

1993 - A man sentenced to 10 years for marijuana violations went on a rampage in a Topeka Kansas courthouse, killing one and wounding or injuring at least 5 others. The perpetrator later shot and killed himself after one of the pipe bombs he threw, bounced back to him and he was mangled in the resulting explosion.

2011 - NASA announced that its Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter had captured photographic evidence of possible liquid water on Mars during warm seasons.

2011 - Juno was launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on a mission to Jupiter. It was the first solar-powered spacecraft to go to Jupiter.

Today's thought:
We did not change as we grew older; we just became more clearly ourselves.

C0ffee and ph00 is ready, no thanks once again to Bark!

Keep the thoughts and prayers for B0b and his family flowing please!

Good morning!!! or should I say "Good night - - - what did I land in the middle of???" Looks like a bunch of old foggies regressing to their younger years digging up memorabilia to try and feel young again. HORRORS. ..................man, been there, done that, have the badge - - don't make me go back there again. .............

Ph00.........................where's the ph00 pot?

Have to take baby in and get it worked on - - right caliper is hanging up. Felt it pulling a bit, got home and smelled - - yuk, brakes. Little smoke coming from the wheel. Don't understand that - - only have 90K on it. Should run a couple hunert before brakes, shouldn't it???? Bummer. Maybe sitting around a month with us gone without driving didn't help it. Oh well, just money. Got too much going to try and do it myself and no where to do it here. They won't let me work on it in the driveway in this subdivision and it won't fit in the garage - - six inches too long - - another bummer.

OK, grabbing my ph00 and get going big boy.

Bob

Bob, what about nosing it into the garage far enough to be out of site? Caliper sticking is common on these things. I just did my rear brakes, 2nd set of pads but this time I did the rotors and calipers, and the embrace shoes. Cost me about $550 in parts then my time. I was surprised at how much better it stops.
