Hi Yall

14 Hours of sitting behind the wheel
2 Hours at the side of the road putting the stinkin turbo boot back on with a busted clamp, twice. . . .
45 min sitting outside a fabric store as my crafty wife dove into a 50% sale

Finally made it to Island Beach North Carolina, just in time to see the Lightning blowing in from the west

Tomorrow will be better. . . IT BETTER BE!

Going too visit the battleship North Carolina

You can send all your quarters here, I won't turn them down. Oh, and happy marinaversary.

Coffees ready, saw blades/chains been sharpened. Sent the dragon after bar oil so the janitor doesn't get smoked out when he substitutes ATF. I got my donut, you guys are on your own, finding the others. They're fiesty today.

I figured YOU already had it. But I also figured you weren't around here all that much anymore despite your assertions that you WILL be, so I figured it would be something new for everyone to look at and ponder.

ATF works quite well actually, especially mixed with something like STP or Lucas oil additive. Something sticky to keep it on the chain.






Morning.

Today is Friday, August 12th.

On this day in 1676 - "King Phillip's War" came to an end with the killing of Indian chief King Phillip. The war between the Indians and the Europeans lasted for two years.

1851 - Isaac Singer was issued a patent on the double-headed sewing machine.

1865 - Disinfectant was used for the first time during surgery by Joseph Lister.

1867 - U.S. President Andrew Johnson sparked a move to impeach him when he defied Congress by suspending Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton.

1877 - Thomas Edison invented the phonograph and made the first sound recording.

1898 - Hawaii was annexed by the U.S. Hawaii was later given territorial status and was given Statehood in 1959.

1898 - The Spanish-American War was ended with the signing of the peace protocol. The U.S. acquired Guam, Puerto Rico and the Philippines. Hawaii was also annexed.

1944 - Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. was killed with his co-pilot when their Navy plane exploded over England. Joseph Kennedy was the oldest son of Joseph and Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy.

1977 - The space shuttle Enterprise passed its first solo flight test.

1981 - IBM unveiled its first PC.

1990 - The first U.S. casualty occurred during the Persian Gulf crisis when Air Force Staff Sergeant John Campisi died after being hit by a military truck.

1992 - The U.S., Canada, and Mexico announced that the North American Free Trade Agreement had been created after 14 months of negotiations.

1993 - U.S. President Clinton lifted the ban on rehiring air traffic controllers that had been fired for going on strike in 1981.

1994 - Major league baseball players went on strike rather than allow team owners to limit their salaries. The strike lasted for 232 days. As a result, the World Series was wiped out for the first time in 90 years.

1998 - Swiss banks agreed to pay $1.25 billion as restitution to World War II Holocaust victims.

THOUGHT FOR TH E DAY:
If croutons are stale bread, why do they come in airtight packages?
