Hot water and a propane torch needed Larry

Scotty

I didn't (did) that on a dare in the 1st grade. Left a good sized chunk-o-tongue out there.

Are you trying to entice your neighbor? I would throw a snowball at you....

yes indeed, but we would get into trouble fer sure...loading the bike was like pulling a trusted range horse to the rendering plant

I'd rather grab them with my bare hands....hurt their noodle instead

lotta snow dumped, series of roof avalanches now rumble the house. snow will let up later but the wind starts then....

headed for the big bike show on Saturday- no problems.
well, except I will have to be dragged out of the house today...........kitty on lap, hot chocolate done.

Justwannabeme

nice one


Scottysellmesomething, I have no doubts about that....



got my hand stuck on a car handle as a kid. best food I ever ate as all the Polish and German women in the neighborhood made sure I was okay.
cute little mittens freeze like concrete, wear only leather gloves since then

Power went out in the ice last night about 10 pm. Got up at 3 to drag the generator to the house and re-wire the panel. Haven;t used this generator before, so was happily surprised that judicious use up till 4pm today that it not only ran everything in the house nicely, but only used about 4-5 gallons of gas.

Several trees, oak and ceder, cut and removed from the driveway. Come and get them...

This Kentucky winter has been a dilly...

Afternoon peoples,

When I was 14 we stuck/froze a piece of bologna on the bumper of my brothers car than ripped it off. It looked bad
My brother would have killed me if he found out I messed with his car..
Told the younger neighbor kids that my brother had driven off with some guy stuck to his bumper and it ripped his tongue off.
The kids were grossed out and it was funny. Kids told their Mom about it and the Cops showed up later to interrogate my brother.
I tried to convince my parents that I was doing the kids a favor by showing them how dangerous cold metal can be.
I still got in trouble.

Busy day. Get to take my wife to dinner tonight. We don't eat out very often so its always an event.

Justwannabeme

sure hope it is enjoyable for you two! be a gentleman and don't wear pajamas. be careful of metal poles on your way home.....

advice I gave to my son. sheesh

Geez I swear it is like you are reading my mind or something I can tell you now that something bad will happen if you, Scotty and I get in the same building together

Ask Heidi's DH what he keeps in the house for self defense and he will say His Wife!

They are better off letting him wear them out with a Louisville slugger at least then they have a chance

Scotty

cool!

I put some water in the pan with the burger so I will hear it boiling out before it catches fire. Most of what I cook inside is boiled or requires constant attention.
I've found that if you put a t-bone on a dry frying pan at real low heat, it will melt out just enough of the fat to fry itself.

Grandfather of the friend who was going to haul me home died Monday. So I need to find another ride. Think I have one. Want to go to the funeral home tomorrow.

This has been a bad winter around here. Older pool player died over the weekend. Another guy wrecked his truck on the way home from the bar a few weeks ago, limped it home and put a slug in his own head. Loyal died Monday. There was another guy who was fairly well-known and always called the open-line on the radio to comment about something or another died this week, too. And the friend who got me into the pool leagues lost one of his pre-marriage, Hell-raising-days buddies this week.

I am so glad I didn't grow up close to some of our DTR members (I'm not mentioning any names Lary or Scotty).
I usually blundered my way into trouble without trying, if I had been around you guys I would probably still be doing time.

You know who probably wasn't an Angel when he was a kid was Bob. Maybe Stan also and Scott was probably a holy terror and I cant imagine what Heidi was like.
Shorts and Tallguy and..... I just realized DTR must be where delinquents go when they grow up.

Had a good time at dinner tonight.
A new, hole in the wall Mexican restaurant opened up awhile back and has
absolutely the best Mex food on the Kenai peninsula, maybe even better than Anchorage offers.
On weekends the place is packed.
The cooks (who don't speak much English) came running out of the back and
rapidly sang the worst version of happy birthday I have ever heard to my wife.
What they lacked in singing ability they made up for with enthusiasm.
They embarrassed the heck out of her and cracked everybody up.
It was great.

Yeah, it would smell like a goat barn and look like a rest home for the elderly.
Uh, I mean... GOOD MORNING BOSS!

Today's thought: (this is a bit long, but funny. And it isn't really a 'thought', but more a commentary on what this world's population is becoming)

A few days ago my best friend from high school sent me a 'Viet Nam Veteran' cap. I never had one of these before, and I was pretty hyped about it, especially because my friend was considerate enough to take the time to send it to me. Yesterday, I wore it when I went to Wal-Mart. There was nothing in particular that I needed at the world's largest retailer; but, since I retired, trips to Wally World to look at the Walmartians is always good for some comic relief. Besides, I always feel pretty normal after seeing some of the people that frequent the establishment. But, I digress... enough of my psychological fixations.
While standing in line to check out, the guy in front of me, probably in his early thirties, asked, "Are you a Viet Nam Vet?"
"No," I replied.
"Then why are you wearing that cap?"
"Because I couldn't find the one from the War of 1812." I thought it was a snappy retort.
"The War of 1812, huh?" the Walmartian queried, "When was that?"
God forgive me, but I couldn't pass up such an opportunity. "1936," I answered as straight-faced as possible.
He pondered my response for a moment and responded, "Why do they call it the War of 1812 if it was in 1936?"
"It was a Black Op. No one is supposed to know about it." This was beginning to be way fun!
"Dude! Really?" he exclaimed. "How did you get to do something that COOOOL?"
I glanced furtively around me for effect, leaned toward the guy and in a low voice said, "I'm not sure. I was the only Caucasian on the mission."
"Dude," he was really getting excited about what he was hearing, "that is seriously awesome! But, didn't you kind of stand out?"
"Not really. The other guys were wearing white camouflage."
The moron nodded knowingly.
"Listen man," I said in a very serious tone, "You can't tell anyone about this. It's still 'top secret' and I shouldn't have said anything."
"Oh yeah?" he gave me the 'don't threaten me look.' "Like, what's gonna happen if I do?"
With a really hard look I said, "You have a family don't you? We wouldn't want anything to happen to them, would we?"
The guy gulped, left his basket where it was and fled through the door. By this time the lady behind me was about to have a heart attack she was laughing so hard. I just grinned at her.
After checking out and going to the parking lot I saw dimwit leaning
in a car window talking to a young woman. Upon catching sight of me he started pointing excitedly in my direction. Giving him another 'deadly' serious look, I made the 'I see you' gesture. He turned kind of pale, jumped in the car and sped out of the parking lot.
What a great time! Tomorrow I'm going back with my Homeland Security cap.
Then the next day I will go to the license agency and wear my Border Patrol hat, and see how long it takes to empty the place.
Whoever said retirement is boring just needs the right kind of cap.


C0ffee& ph00 are as ready as they will ever be. Donuts are willing.
