Johnt Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 It's here over here! AJ is just leaving his office and I've been working at home today so have just celebrated the weekend with a resounding version of "Lola". So no-one I don't love has any claim on my time for 2 days. (But I bet the one I do love has a list for me!) Like Thermionik I have cut the grass, he cut 2 acres I cut 2 square feet, but we've got three dogs against his one so "hazard avoidance" evened out the time ! Have a great weekend when it comes guys. Feel happy with the fact that as you leave your offices/staterooms/operating theatres etc this evening, we will already be nearly "rat-assed" and ready for bed! Thanks for an entertaining week, mine's been cr*p and your indulgence and humour have helped me through Appreciated!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a plane to Bulgaria on Monday so I'll miss out on the forum next week. I'm off the The George tonight for my usual several pints of ale, which normally means a few postings in about 6 hours or so - slightly worse for wear. Sorry again.

It's normally my, keep my sanity, job, but I let her finish. So, I made supper. She's got me worried, though. We're / I am still decratin' my music room and I think she's having negotiators remorse. I think she may want some real-estate back. She's even offered to decrate, but NO WAY. This is MY Mancave and I'm gonna decrate at my disgression.

ksdaddy Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 We were supposed to get bastardly vicious thundershowers last night so I frantically mowed what I could of the lawn. The weedwhacker overheated (something binding in the spool making it smoke and smell funny), the riding mower ran out of gas with about 40 square feet left to go, so I finished with the push mower. I got the worst of it anyway; some of my lawn grows fast, some hardly at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksdaddy Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Pretty dull here. Shipped a guitar to Ontario and plucked some parts off a bike carcass. Toying with the notion of loading some scrap onto the truck and going to the junkyard. *yawn* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toying with the notion of loading some scrap onto the truck and going to the junkyard. *yawn* Half way through now. Sunday morning 12.35. Cut the grass, spent 30 mins with J45, 30 mins with SWD Damn still can't get the run down in D for "here comes the sun" and lastly about 20 mins playing what I call Blues on the 335. Wife been out looking for flat(apartment not tyre) for her daughter. Today's Sunday. Weather cloying very humid. Guitar necks sticky I think that the Jack Russell lying across the bottom of the bed is away with the fairies!

jannusguy Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 it's 7:50 pm saturday night and i'm 1 band deep into a 4 band indie pop show. judging by the middling crowd, the headliner has lost some of its appeal to the screaming 14 yr. old girl demo. i'd say they're 12 minutes into their 15 minutes of fame. no shows for 6 days! yowzuh! tomorrow will be a good day of relaxation.

ksdaddy Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 God help me, I went to the junkyard and dropped off a load, then brought back: 1. The safety cable I needed for my push mower (donated by a rusted hulk). 2. A bow rake that only needs a little straightening and some linseed oil. 3. A cool old wooden homemade tool box with multi-colored peeling paint. 4. The entire nose section from a 1947-48 International truck. Why the truck nose? To place on the trail to the beaver pond, just off into the dense vegetation. It is incongruous but will have some of the Cadillac Ranch thing going on. Then I went & looked at a decent old boat trailer for my '58 Bat Boat. Solid, straight, needs taillights, $200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyK Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 One man's rusted hulk is... how'd you put that? is another mans' "incongruity on the way to the beaver pond." I espcially like the black paint as it cascades from the top of the hood and the puke green grille. I'll bet it makes a great tukey blind. Probably would have to prop the hood a smidge though. So... just curious... what're they askin' now-a-days for a rusted beyond use front clip of a truck not made since the 70's? "bat boat"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 That's the beauty of this junkyard. I have free access and I take them a lot of scrap metal so they pretty much have told me if I see something I want, just take it. So I paid exactly what it was worth! The Bat Boat is a completely unrestored 1958 Baker-Jewell 14' runabout with huge tailfins like everything in the late 50s. People sometimes refer to them as Bat Boats as a nod to the one in the Adam West series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL BR John Thanks for the well wishes. Unfortunately, it's already shaping up to be a bad weekend for me. I slipped with a spanner at work, yesterday, and did a small number on my left hand. So, no guitar playing for a few days. On top of that, I'm subjected to an all clear liquid diet on Wed. due to a medical test on Thurs. So, that kills any form of a good bike ride on Wed. Is vodka considered a clear liquid? Anyhow, thanks again. If you keep being this nice to me, I'm gonna stop thinking your entire country is populated by bl00dy w@nkers!! Take care. Off to work for my final tour of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
