Crash of thunder just as I headed out the door, and Pat and Sally were in the parking lot when I got there. Maybe it will pour again, because we really need more rain ... not.
Like we need more heat. But it IS a desert...and it’s dry!
I’m glad the kids were OK.
I got a letter and a very nice picture. The picture is on the refrigerator.
I’ll get more coloring done when DP, Tom, and Elen go to camp next week. Also, I can go to bed early every night! That will make Jake happy.
Mandalas are supposed to bring luck, I’m told. Something to do with symmetry in the Universe. Or some such.
Pat or Frank will explain it to me.
This has been a long week, without the wheels. And I had some disheartening news this morning. For what it’s worth. The truck was parked in a slanted driveway last night, and wouldn’t start this morning, acting like it was out of gas. It could be just that the pick up line was below the gasoline, as the gauge indicated a quarter of a tank.
And then the query came: I wonder if it could be the fuel pump? My response? DON’T HEX MY TRUK!
I will have it back tomorrow, if all goes well this afternoon. YAY!!!
I’m sure one of them will. If Pat does, be ready for a missive. He will no doubt stune you with his brilliance.
For those of you who are interested in the continuing saaaa-gah of my never boring (hahahaha) life, the latest news is as follows:
Mr. Bill has suffered a little indigestion. The fuel pump went out this morning in Busdaddy’s driveway, but he rode the motorcycle to work.
His truck will be done tomorrow, and I will get a motorcycle ride to get it...I get to drive the truck while he drives the Harley.
We will then put Mr. Bill in the back of the “toy box” (for the racecar) and take it to my mechanic. Who is also a racing friend of Busdaddy’s.
To Be Continued....
Good night, All...I hope the excitement doesn’t keep you up!
;o])
I hope Mr. Bill is all better soon! It’s helpful that there’s a car-carrier about!
I ate too much cantaloupe and my digestion is unhappy with me.
Ohmigosh! At first, I thought the top picture was an oocyte w/corpus luteum. Do your college days ever haunt you?
Happy to be of service!
I cannot believe I ate all four of them. How embarrassing!
Ya know what’s better than fresh cantaloupe? Nuthin. Ya know what’s almost as good? Dehydrated cantaloupe chips! With that, I wish y’all good night and sweet dreams!
That's because the water at the bottom is rilly, rilly cold.
I’m not sure what the flavors may be like, but there’s a feast going on at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge!
Sink The Donut - Johnny Horton. Er, wait a minute...
;-)
In May of nineteen forty-one the war had just begun
The Germans had the biggest ship that had the biggest guns
The Donut was the fastest ship that ever sailed the seas
On her deck were guns as big as steers and shells as big as trees
Out of the cold and foggy night came the British ship the Hood
And evry British seaman, he knew and understood
They had to sink the Donut, the terror of the sea
Stop those guns as big as steers and those shells as big as trees
We’ll find that German battleship thats makin’ such a fuss
We gotta sink the Donut ‘cause the world depends on us
Hit the decks a-runnin’ boys and spin those guns around
When we find the Donut we gotta cut her down
The Hood found the Donut and on that fatal day
The Donut started firin’ fifteen miles away
We gotta sink the Donut was the battle sound
But when the smoke had cleared away
The mighty Hood went down
For six long days and weary nights they tried to find her trail
Churchill told the people “Put ev’ry ship a-sail”
‘Cause somewhere on that ocean I know she’s gotta be
We gotta sink the Donut to the bottom of the sea
We’ll find that German battleship thats makin’ such a fuss
We gotta sink the Donut ‘cause the world depends on us
Hit the decks a-runnin’ boys and spin those guns around
When we find the Donut we gotta cut her down
The fog was gone on the seventh day and they saw the mornin’ sun
Ten hours away from homeland the Donut made its’ run
The admiral of the British fleet said “Turn those bows around”
We found that German battleship and we’re gonna cut her down
The British guns were aimed and the shells were comin’ fast
The first shell hit the Donut, they knew she couldn’t last
That mighty German battleship is just a memory
“Sink the Donut” was the battle cry that shook the seven seas
We found that German battleship was makin’ such a fuss
We had to sink the Donut ‘cause the world depends on us
We hit the decks a-runnin’ and we spun those guns around
Yeah, we found the mighty Donut and then we cut her down
We found that German battleship was makin’ such a fuss
We had to sink the Donut ‘cause the world depends on us
We hit the decks a-runnin’ and we spun those guns around
We found the mighty Donut and then we cut her down
