Keep it going for you guys. Let's keep the politics limited this time.

A young woman visits her parents and brings her fiancée to meet them. After an elaborate dinner, the mother tells her husband to find out about the young man.

The father invites the fiancée to his library for a drink. "So what are your plans?" the father asks the young man.

"I am a Torah scholar," he says. "A Torah scholar? Hmmm," the father says.

"Admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice house for my daughter to live in, as she is accustomed to?"

"I will study," the young man said, "and God will provide for us."

"And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she deserves?" asks the father.

"I will concentrate on my studies," the young man replies. "God will provide for us."

"And children?" asks the father. "How will you support children?"

"Don't worry, sir, God will provide," replies the fiancée.

The conversation continues like this, and each time the father questions, the young idealist insist that God will provide.

Later, the mother asks: "How did it go, Honey?"

The father answers: "He has no job and no plans, but the good news is he thinks I'm God."

OK but is the wife agreeable to cigar smoking in the house… "to hell with the rest." OMG Pottz this type of advice to give to WBN- I may be wrong, but doesn't the saying go "yes, dear"?

Well I feel like I missed the first month of college. Someone is teaching accounting and I know nothing. Are we trying to get to 1000 posts by the end of the year?

DW you asked 50 or so posts ago what gifts we might be making.

I make the wine pour holders. I will be sitting at a table in the corner watching.

How is your exterior illumination going? (who knows the movie?)

Nice looking box Pete. My dog likes small dogs so beagles are friends. Dogs the same size as him don't usually go to well unless it's a female then he seems a little less aggressive. That's good way to keep the peace wb keep it out of the house then everybody is happy.

Woke up, first thing I did was check y'all's evening out. I'm gonna need to move to the west coast or change my schedule. I missed out.

Gunny…if I'm not being to presumptuous to call you that…It's good to be loved, no? Lovely bride BTW! ...and a belated Thank You from the heart man. Even old libs appreciate and admire the men and women who put it all out there for the rest of us. ; )
Pottz…Thanks for the tuck in, but you forgot to tell me my bedtime story. I'll get over it….it probably would've kept me awake all night anyway….; ) Hope they didn't drink you into the poor house last night. Maybe some night I'll hang out and be sure we do just that.
Desert…Not seen too many together…Beagles and Huskies, but that doesn't mean they can't be true friends. I'm carrying an olive branch in my muzzle and you can be whichever pup you want to be, OK? I'd truly like that. Love to know what special holiday is on for today!
Petey! Nice wine holder! What kind of wood is that?...and who gets the Moose head? Man, I gotta get on that Xmas gift making thing too….Its such a great win win when you see people's eye's light up when gifted by something you made for them…that for me is the true joy of Christmas. "Illuminate" me on the movie reference?
Corelz….Beautiful pup man. The beach shot's great. That little dog in my pic. next to the guy that looks just like Sean Connery at 60 was my second cousin's terrier. When we'd visit NH he'd go on hikes with us and for every step we'd take he'd take ten…yet we'd wear out way before he did! Incredibly smart, loving pup, sadly only memories now but wonderful ones just the same. Don't have a pup now, but that's another never say never. ; )

Cigars in the house. If I want to be drawn and quartered by the wife, well yeah sure, why not.

Have a great day! If I missed anyone, don't take it too personally…if I go to previous pages I might lose text…and I ain't doing this twice!

Three ex-pats are drinking in a NY city bar. "As good as this is," said the Scotsman, "I still prefer the pubs back home. In Glasgow, there's a bar called McTavish's. The landlord there goes out of his way with the locals. When you buy four drinks he will buy the fifth."

"Well Angus," said the Englishman. "At my local pub in London, The Red Lion, the barman will buy your third drink after you buy the first two."

"Ahhh, dat's nothin'," said the Irishman. "Back home in my favorite pub, the moment you step foot in the place, they'll buy you a drink, then another. In fact all the drinks you like. Then, when you've had enough to drink, they'll take you upstairs and see dat you get laid, all on the house."

The Englishman and Scotsman were suspicious of the claim. "Did this actually happen to you?" they asked.

"Not myself personally, no," admitted the Irishman, "but it did happen to my sister quite a few times."

Customer stated his ABS light was on. The sensors checked good for resistance. Was about to recommend replacing both. Just bugged me both went out at same time according to customer.

Made this tool to go in my drill and mimic the signal sent to ABS module. Both sensors worked. Hmm. Looking at the brakes I see new rotors and pads. Pulled sensor out and got a mirror. Found no ABS ring. Asked customer.

Oh yeah those ABS rotors were another $50 so I got the cheaper non ABS rotors.

Great job genius you shot yourself in the foot. Check out time for ABS light $125. To be told wrong rotors.

Oops.

Picture of my new special tool.

Wb always comes up with a solution. I went with the cheaper rotors off Amazon once. That was the only time I got them from Amazon never again. They were warped in about 3 months. Good to have another new participant in the group.

- corelz125
Putting new rotors on another vehicle now. Customer did own brake job. Put pads on backwards. Alcohol was involved or so I heard anyway.

ROFL
