it's weekend time again.

I have stolen this to share with the world !

I got to thinking about things on the way home from the Hardware store today and come to the realization that no matter how much they sing and whistle while they work, 6 out of 7 dwarfs are still not Happy.

Are you sure? I think you should test it just to be sure. :headscratch:

Unfortunately I'm well informed bout it. rps20180715_164004.jpg
Even so I can't avoid it sometimes. This is just from running the weed whacker. Sure didn't see it.
 
:eek: Yep, you tested it alright. The best part of it is how good if feels when it stops itching.
 
time for my weekend observation.

hey when Y'all take your stuff on Vacation double check it's actually in the truck before you hurry home.

I seen more stuff along the highway today just outside [within 5 miles] tourist town than you'd believe.
3 boots? [still puzzled over these] a tennis shoe, a single flip-flop, a blanket, a pillow on the other side of the road about 2 miles away, a battery box cover, the spare tire cover from an RV, two different trailers with blown tires [both tires on one trailer] a guy carrying a kayak [dunno where he was goin with it] a pile of firewood [stacked up nicely] on the bridge over the river BTW, a trailer leveling jack-stand, a 6 pack of beer still with the plastic holder on them [run over flat, I bet someone got a surprise] a propane tank [someone was running back for that already] and a few other things I can't recall.
 
Weekend starts NOW fo me,woohoo!

3:00 a.m. Friday,told the boss to STFU I'm not working today and if he dosen't change his attitude may not see me Monday( self employed),haha.

Go check out nurses at rehab...... run by the bank..... come home and play with my gun/s..... shoot a round of 3D....... take nap...... get ready for wifey,we're headed to one of the boy's houses.Looking fwd to bein a d**k,...... "can't eat that,nope...can't eat that either",.... "you have to go to the grocery store and get me some ____ ",haha.Paybacks are Heck baby.
 
I worked for myself about 5 yr .......the boss was a rectal spenctor too . I hated that guy but he kept me in good cars full of gas and groceries ........

I quit on him the 18 hr days and wearing all the hats did me in .
 
I swear,can NOT stay clean no matter what.....

Get dressed up to go make friends with nurses,all good.Go by P.O. to pick up a nice old Rockwell 3X21 belt sander snagged on the cheap,still happy.Whats it gonna hurt,go to shop to unbox it,one thing leads to another and now got nasty stains on my good clothes......

5 blooming minutes in shop,you WILL get dirty..... and as far as shops go,it's pretty dang clean? Oh well,2 up's.... 1 down so far.
 
got another thought.

it's a shame that the event and only the leaders of the event are remembered by history, and not the individual deeds that made the event successful, other than by those that were there..

As sadly true as it is, it's been that way throughout recorded history.

Who was the man who shoed Cesar's horse? The men who made the arrows used at Agincourt? The man who sold wood to the Wright brothers? The men who are buried in Hoover Dam's concrete?

I was one of about 2 million . . . my family knows of my deeds and that is all that matters.

It's like mechanics time. Changing oil on a front draining machine..15min..not dirty job...pants ruined..1.5hr later.
Wife...does that include mechanics time?...dont know till were done honey.
 
OK.... rambling post alert,may want to stop reading.

Not picking on anyone but,was reading on another forum about this ( CB accuracy "work") not being brain surgery.And to a certain extent this could be applied to any project?Well,it happens that I know a thing or two about brain surgery....... no,not because my customer lists have been wrought with brain surgeons,although there has been some GREAT stories...

It's a very simple observation.

One of my girls( dear friends daughter) ...... slackjaw gorgeous 35 y.o. redhead.... sells brain surgeon tools and equipment making stoooopid bank.She then smiles,and asks if I'll help her spend it on her estate.So,we love each other and there is this strange father daughter symbiosis. She grew up driving category 3 tractors so is no stranger to tools and equipment.

So she shows me all this neat "stuff" that gets used in not only brain surgery but,other complicated directions,medically speaking.Now to the point....... " this ain't brain surgery"?You can bet your arse it isn't, it's WAAAAAY more complicated.This is why.Compare brain surgeons tools/technology with that of say,a brick mason.The former is banking on $$$$ tech for much of what presses the envelope.The latter,well most if his tools would fit in a wheelbarrow......

One is tech based,the other is skill based.So,just like money can't buy taste and to a degree,talent..... why does anyone think moving the bar higher in CB world is tech based? Maybe learn the skill of better casting? Maybe learn time and temperature ain't just a culinary mindset? It's not the tools it's the craftsman?

An old IA used to tell me that the only difference between me and the guy in the $50,000 shop (he was the crew chief on Eisenhowers DC8 when he worked for Douglas ) , circa 1986 , was the $50,000 shop .
 
ahh the weekend.
okay this weekends thought.
as grown men why do we tend to jump back and act like little girls waving our hands around and wiping them off repeatedly when a spider web barely brushes the back of our hand in the dark?
and then why? for the next hour do we constantly feel something running up that hand every two minutes.
 
Ain't just in the dark. Ran away cross a web with my arm going to the truck today. Man I hate spider webs and not too big on spiders either.
