Not any worse than those "Pedros" walking with their Burros…..even Taco Bell stopped using those….

Somehow..I lost a day this past week….thought today was Thursday…..

Maybe today, I can go hide out in the shop….since it is in the basement….we'll see….

 

Gunny, thought of you when I read this. I know your Girl isnt Russian, but Ukraine is pretty much the same people, same culture. I hope that isnt too offensive to her. It is OK if She corrects me on that. I have been to Ukraine, Hungary, Poland, Czech, so not totally speaking from ignorance.

Lets see how many are correct.

7 reasons not to date a Russian woman:


1) She is too beautiful for you.
All women are like women, but Russian women are Goddesses.

2) You will be be well fed.
Girls in Russian families are brought up on one pearl of wisdom: "The way to a Man´s heart is through his stomach."

3) She will be difficult to get rid of.
If she has chosen you, your Russian girl will be your best friend, your partner, your doctor, your beauty consultant, your psychologist, and your sparring partner.

4) You will have to be strong all the time.
A Russian woman respects strength. She is independent, but does not always find this easy. She is genetically programmed to rush into burning buildings, and hold up a galloping horse.

5) You will not be able to hide anything from her.
While you are plotting on how to tell her you are going to a party, she already knows where, when, and with whom you are going.

6) She always wants to get married.
Russian women take relationships very seriously.

7) You will have to surprise her.
She doesnt need you to give her presents all the time, yet, the Russian woman believes that a midnight rendevous isnt convincing enough. She will expect more substantial proof of your loyalty.

And an amusing annecdote: when a Russian woman makes a salad, it is going to contain a large amount of mayonaise.

Speaking of galloping horses, I am genetically programmed to run away. True story.

Spot on.

 

Thanks for the kind words everybody…

Pottzy- I love hot pockets. I dated a girl once, 30 years ago, that said I had a palette of 4 year old….She liked a fine red wine, and I enjoyed on a great box of white wine! May I request you add Bacardi White to the bar and grills' liquor? Oh and Diet Coke….

Woodbutcher/Gunner- Looks like you r planning to have some dirty brakes there…actually you are a man after my heart… I have always felt if one is good, two is better and a case….the Best! Actually I like to fix various things here and there and just this summer, found the virtues of brake cleaner and CLR.
But Dr Pottz? I am thinking no….oh ok….Pottzy email me about the boil on my….well …just email me.

Petey- that blood wood top is truly one of THE most awesome tops I have ever seen! As for some of those HOA's….I live in a nice nieghborhood, on the edge, two houses from a very large 4 plex condo neighborhood. They are very nice, but they have their little rules. One of the rules is no one parks on the street. One of the occupants parked in front of my house on a permanent basis. I was an LEO at the time and understand that their little rules are NOT state law and only govern the occupants of their housing division and are only enforceable to them by a civil tort and only because the occupant signed a document to that effect. I asked the person to move the van around to various spots, maybe even their house! She cited the HOA rules….so my neighbor and I each bought a $200 pick ups-extra rusty. We parked one of them front of their condos…only for 24 hours and changing it out with the other truck every day.
They went nuts….we had several conversations with the HOA folks never backing down…they even consulted an attorney, that told them we were in the legal right to do so. They refused to move the van and we continued this for about 18 months. Finally they consented to allow the van to sit out in the street in front of the Condos and we sold the trucks…...it was fun to see their level of frustration!
There were HOA's in the town I was an LEO, ( The town was the wealthiest town in Iowa and 35th in the US) and I refused to help them….most feel their little agreement is binding in State Law….In Iowa it is not.

Topa- Thanks for the kind words, I really enjoy your posts, I learn a lot. You have a wealth of knowledge there and freely share it. I find myself reading your posts two to three times to fully grasp what you have to say. I am totally serious… Not to mention that I am very conservative and like to hear about what Seattle is doing…..
I like PT too…..in 1977 I tore up my knee playing college ball, and had surgery and PT….now that woman was previously a recreation director in Auschwitz! Any PT I have had since was never like that…this guy is awesome.. I started PT Monday….today for the first time in almost 2 months I combed my hair, held my electric toothbrush, and took a drink with my right hand!! I am truly getting better by leaps and bounds. Smalls goals and achievements….

Thanks to all for the words of encouragement….it was not my intent to complain or ask for encouragement when I started the post. Hey Corlez.. That table would look awesome in the new shop!! I have been hoarding stuff in my old shop…I got one of these wide tool boxes from Lowes for xmas and then I needed a new tool set to go in it….to my knowledge I never have had a new set of sockets, I bought one of those Rockler material mover things, too.
https://www.rockler.com/rockler-material-mate-panel-cart-and-shop-stand anyone have one? I bought a new wilton vise, ryobi cabinet, and another ryobi set…..Thanks again!

 

My Father requested a box for his map weights for search and rescue team. Wanted it yellow with reflective tape.

Good looking box. ++++to your Dad and the Search and Rescue Team and what they do.

 

WBBN, Can we see the weights? I think stuff like that is really cool. Like I want to figure out what I can make with them. BTW that box looks really professional. Is your dad in the U.S. Coast guard?

Moke in my opinion this forum is to talk about what ever you want to talk about. I enjoyed your stories, the HOA is killer good. Thanks for the complement on the end table top.

Good to see the elbow is coming along.

 

you clean a lot of brakes gunny?

- pottz

Rarely at home. Use it for cleaning stuff, acid brushes, grease of something, contact points, inside of a qt container after I have used it up. Add some sawdust and wipe clean. Many different uses.

- woodbutcherbynight

we used to use it too clean our shotguns back when we did a lot trap and skeet,worked great.

 

Zlata looks like she would be more comfortable on that table. I found that table on one of the wood magazine sites. I think. Those smash rooms been around for some time now. Good idea get junk let people break it then charge them to do it.

- corelz125

yeah genius,crap nobody wants and costs nothing.sounds like a good side business for people that are in the junk business,charge to haul it away then charge again to smash it up,win win.

I only have one, a magnifying glass. Will take a picture tonight. I believe the box they came in has the website, will try to get that as well. The box I have says $60 each.

Coast Guard? No he was in Navy during Viet Nam. All men in the Curtis family have served in military. Of all of them I am only US Marine. LOL

 

Good looking box. ++++to your Dad and the Search and Rescue Team and what they do.

- 987Ron

Thanks. I will pass it on to my Dad and the team.

 

My Pops was Navy during Vietnam too, Carrier duty in the Atlantic. Not really sure what he did for them. He was doing something in recon planes, looking for Vietnamese subs, I gathered, but he wasnt a pilot nor a radar tech. Maybe he was the stewardess. He would NOT laugh at that joke. Sorry, Pop. He used to tell me stories about how they would play softball on one of the lower decks, and set up amateur boxing matches. He was a Boxer. I think he got hit alot, his nose is pretty flat.

 

Nice box Gunny that reflective tape still costs a car payment? Petey knows the rules around here you talk about or bring up anything on your mind. You get all straight shooters around here and also LBD. You need an interpreter to figure out what he says sometimes. Welcome aboard Mike. I prefer rum myself but mostly the dark rums. They have more flavor to them. I'll have to go back and see where I got the pic for that table and share the link.

 

Anything goes, right! Here is a link to a young Man´s social media post, wherein he is talking about how, due to an EO by Biden that reversed one of Trump´s policies, he will now have to pay 2000$ per month for insulin and supplies, so he can stay alive.

I know you all wont watch it, but you should. This wonderful new EO may affect you too. I know the headline is hyperbole, no need to point that out to me.

This guy is sitting outside on his lawn when he sees his blonde neighbor walk outside and check her mailbox.

With a confused look on her face, she walks back inside.

Five minutes later, the blonde walks outside again to check her mailbox.

Seeing that there is nothing in it, she walks back inside her house.

Another five minutes later, the blonde comes back outside to check her mailbox.

After watching the blonde check her mailbox 3 times in a row, the guy is pretty curious.

When she starts to walk back inside again, he asks, "What are you doing?"

She says, "My computer keeps telling me that I've got mail."

Got mine last week, beat the rush. Might have forgot about it had I put it off. That would not have been good.
