HEY! Mid-month Ping, guys!
Every body up and at ‘em! (Do I have to start calling the Roll in order to get your attention?....)
Hi!
Where am I?
Oh, WOW, man! Look! REALITY!
I guess I'd better take the opportunity to drop a "breadcrumb" here so I can find it again, later.
Hope all's well with y'all.
I've been over my head in a project for several weeks; just now breaking through the clouds.
Been camping with the fam. Google Sunol, "Little Yosemite".
Looking down the barrel of $600-$800 in repairs to my daily driver. Guess the factory original head gaskets are showing their age after 230,000 miles. And it's an AMERICAN car, no less.
Taxes? Already been done, got the refund, and spent it all.
And now... for your entertainment:
The Wonderful Sausage Machine
There was a happy Dutchman, his name was Johnny Vobeck He loved to deal in sausages, in saurkraut and speck He made the finest sausages the world has ever seen Until the day he invented that wonderful sausage machine CHORUS: OH! Johnny Vobeck, Johnny Vobeck, how could you be so mean? Once day you'll be sorry for inventing that machine. Now all the neighbors' cats and dogs will never more be seen; They've all been ground to sausages by Johnny Vobeck's machine! One day a little Dutch boy came walking in the store He bought a pound of sausages and laid them on the floor He then began to whistle, he whistled a merry tune The little sausages jumped up and danced around the room CHORUS One day the machine was broken, the darn thing wouldn't go So Johnny Vobeck climbed up inside to see what made it so His wife was having a nightmare, a-walking in her sleep She gave the crank a heck-of-a-yank, and Johnny Vobeck was meat! CHORUS
still in TX trying to figure out my aunt's MESS that she left for us to figure out. fwiw, i found a retired RN that can read her shorthand. we'll see if her "notes to self" are illuminating or if they are no more than "grocery lists'.
