You callin' me a queen? You're workin' you're way towards a painful bannin'!
Thanks for the coffee, but I don't wear 'drawers'!
Looks like it is Wednesday, December 19th, and on this illustrious day in 1777, General George Washington led his army of about 11,000 men to Valley Forge, PA, to camp for the winter.
1842 - Hawaii's independence was recognized by the U.S.
1843 - Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" was first published in England.
1871 - Corrugated paper was patented by Albert L. Jones.
1887 - Jake Kilrain and Jim Smith fought in a bare knuckles fight which lasted 106 rounds and 2 hours and 30 minutes. The fight was ruled a draw and was halted due to darkness.
1907 - A coalmine explosion in Jacobs Creek, PA, killed 239 workers.
1959 - Walter Williams died in Houston, TX, at the age of 117. He was said to be the last surviving veteran of the U.S. Civil War.
1972 - Apollo 17 splashed down in the Pacific, ending the Apollo program of manned lunar landings.
1973 - Johnny Carson started a fake toilet-paper scare on the "Tonight Show."
1989 - U.S. troops invaded Panama to overthrow the regime of General Noriega.
1996 - The school board of Oakland, CA, voted to recognize Black English, also known as "ebonics." The board later reversed its stance.
1998 - U.S. President Bill Clinton was impeached on two charges of perjury and obstruction of justice by the U.S. House of Representatives.
1998 - A four-day bombing of Iraq by British and American forces ended.
2000 - The U.N. Security Council voted to impose sanctions on Afghanistan's Taliban rulers unless they closed all terrorist training camps and surrender U.S. embassy bombing suspect Osama bin Laden.
2003 - Images for the new design for the Freedom Tower at the World Trade Center site were released. The building slopes into a spire that reaches 1,776 feet.
2008 - U.S. President George W. Bush signed a $17.4 billion rescue package of loans for ailing auto makers General Motors and Chrysler.
A thought: People are not disturbed by things, but by the view they take of them.
Have a great day you people!

They are just a small family business who also do a lot of customer leather work (the synergy between the two businesses makes sense if you think about it) and I can't praise them enough. A couple of weeks ago I needed stuff and I got there at 3:50pm and I rattled the door to figure out why it was locked BEFORE I saw that they closed at 3:00pm. The owner and his wife happened to still be there - they were waiting for a hunter who was on his way in with a fresh deer. Being smart business people, since they were still there, he came rushing out and unlocked the door. We were in and out in less than 10 minutes and spend about $250. That was probably the easiest money he made all day - we knew exactly what we wanted and were in and out really quickly.
They have an online store so that you can do mail order.

Thought I was purdy smart with this electrical stuff, but this thing has no many controls, relays, step relays, air switches, timers, tiny little motors plus OUCH - - - 240v when you move a bit to get another voltage reading. Wife says call an expert. HUH - - now I get ridiculed by the blonde. What is going on??????? Going up the river and eat worms. .....

Bob

It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!
Good morningafternoonevevening to all you wafflers. Woke up extra early and decided to see what y'all are waffling about. Nothing new here other than some of the gripes have changed, like Bob hopping around and getting (electrically) frustrated and sundry new problems being aired. Came looking for some decent coffee but at this time of your day, could only find some bubbling black stuff that smelled awful. Added some coffee and water on top of whatever that is, hoping to kill the smell.
It is getting colder and colder here. Right now (before dawn) it is minus 18C with a wind chill of minus 26C. Man, do I miss my sunny and warm Mexico and walking around in shorts all day. Going back in early February for a few weeks of R & R. Hopefully by the time I return it will be almost spring.
This being a communist country they do many things that we consider to be really weird. For example, here is my work schedule for the next few weeks:
Dec 24 - 28 normal work week
Dec 29 & 30 no work
Dec 32 work
Jan 1 -3 no work
Jan 4 - 11 work
Jan 12 and on we are back to a normal 5 day week.
Going to make myself a nice cup of instant coffee, add some honey and early as it is for me (4:25 a.m.) get started on some work as I have a lot to do today. If I have time will read back a few pages of waffling and see if I can glean out anything important. Oh yeah, maybe the news from Sickiwa or whatever his name is could be construed as important.

You figure out how to mount a .22 in place of a .50 and shoot out the neighbor's windows?

I like breakfast sausage links that have literally drowned in maple syrup.
