Greeting everyone, got the new breakroom opened for you all to enjoy!

Fresh sludge, ph00, tea, and sweet tea are ready. Plenty of non-conforming donuts are available and the bbq is fired up in case anyone is hungry.

Hope everyone has a good week!

Three more days and I will be that fat tourist looking guy that you see jogging down the road in shorts and a Vegas hat. I will be everywhere ha-ha-ha-errff-cough-cough. Crud,,, gotta stop smoking them cigars.

Son finally got married almost two years ago (30 in June). Wife got potted for the first time in years. In between her prayers to the porcelain throne she called me every name in the book. She apologized later for calling me names but still says she was justified because “I know she cant drink”. Tried to remind her that I told her to watch out while she was drinking but she wouldn’t listen and got mad at me that night. All I can tell her is I will try to do better next time (darned if I do, darned if I don’t).

--I truly believe that Claude is actually two people. One who is articulate, well read, and a skilled master of all trades. He is also sometimes a cunning trickster who types in bold face with misspellings just to try and make us let our guard down.

Yikes!! Cant believe the time. I still have to dig the street tires out for when I get back..

In all seriousness, Claude is BRILLIANT. That's why I pick on him for his spelling and grammar mistakes, because it honestly gets my knickers in a twist to know that someone with his education and intelligence thinks it's funny to do that kind of thing. I've met him, I KNOW!

Okay, enougha that crap. <get me all wound up first thing on a Sunday mornin'!>



Morning all.

Today is Sunday, March 21st.

On this day in 1788 - Almost the entire city of New Orleans, LA, was destroyed by fire. 856 buildings were destroyed.

Thats meter....


Mitre - Miter - Angle cut. What ever floats your pirogue....


I just like to be different. Some places advertise miter cut, some mitre cut. Kinda like gray and grey. In school teachers wanted every one to spell it gray. So naturally, I always spelled it grey.

You know, there are these things known as power mitre saws. you don't have to bang your knuckles against the box anymore as you saw away by hand.

You don't even need to put them in a garage.

Just sayin...
