Well, fooie. I'm board. I hate waiting on people. Hurry up will you! I GOTTA GO!!!!

 

Its still right next to the coffee pot (its the hot one).

Spent five days running amok. One day spent in the big city (Anchorage). City traffic.
dssimecek Its raining a little here. I could put some in a jar and send it to you.
Got to go to the old folks place in awhile. Going to be fried chicken. Something about chicken fried in a big cast iron skillet cooked by 90 year old gals that makes it taste better than any other.

Maybe its the Polident from the occasional dropped denture.

If ya gotta go, GO!

Evening all. Think I almost have the 3rd rebuild of this motorhome throttle cable done. Manufacturing all new innerds for the existing housing. Hope that this one will last at least 75K miles or more but building spare parts so I have what I need if I have to fix it again. All this while on the road on "vacation".

 

What a week last week, hope this week is better.

 

The USS North Carolina. CV55

 

I hear ya on that!

Nice pic, thanks!

 

I feel better now. Everything came out all right. Glad I don't have to clean that bathroom. Had a little trouble getting out though, the door was wedged in the jam from the blow out. I did clear the birds nest off the vent pipe for them though. It wound up in the swimming pool with the dragon. Gave him something to play with for a while.

 

Polaraco, Nice pic! I've got one like that of the USS Alabama and one on the USS Hornet. Those old ships are really interesting to me.




SCOTT!



Evening DTR.

 

Almost bunkie time.

Had to feed more hungry mouths that I planed on. So did some ratburgers to go with cluckers and 'tater salad. Big black loud clouds rolled in the breeze pick up and it cooled down. But NO RAIN.

Cougar glad everything came out OK for you.

Hvytrk and Chaikwa. Think positive thoughts, like this week will not go down the dumper. Laugh and the world wonders what your up to now.

Polaraco, nice pix. Got any more to post, it looks like a fun time.

Bark, just shoo the rain on down to Cypress TX by way of DFW for Shorts to get some rain. Them sexy senior ladies know how to fry chicken in the iron skillet. Lots of oil that is HOT. Some use lard. Hope you got your fill.
I have been to AK and Anchorage. Amazing, bigest state in the union, with the smallest population and can't find a parking place in Anchorage.

12valve, you all fixed up and on the road again?

Sleep well all, the night shift is on guard duty.

 

Blasted ratchet! @$^%(^!@^##!# ball bearing!

Just forget it! I'm going to bed.

 

BINGO! I think you figured it out. The two sisters who were doing the frying make the best chicken with lots of herbs and stuff but I couldnt figure out how they get a crisp, almost fluffy crust on it. I thought they were melting a block of shortening in the pans but I would bet it was lard. I ate too much what ever it was.

Yeah, when they finally remodel the bathroom, they need to avoid nailing the roof on so the pressure can escape. It would save some of the damage to the walls and door.

.

Evening everyone.

 

Yes, unfortunatly. Couple of Generals coming, but not for me, thankfully. I just want my dang cert... I don't need any pomp and parade.

Yeah, me too.

Ever feel like just turning on the coffee pot and starting at 2245? Don't bother going to bed, just get a head start on tomorrow...

Back in SoCal... Freezing. It was 67 earlier.

Drinking a beer and sitting in the hotel room. Went and ate with an old boss tonight... it pays to take time to go see old friends.

Ok, going to bed.

Coffee is on. Phl00y stuff too.

Im probably gonna be down in Pittsburg a good bit this week. We just set the welding procedures and I got voluntold to go witness the lab results. Road Trip!

Couple of pipeline pics and the scenery. Unreal country up here.
