that broccoli and beer might be the culprits.

I’ll go back to

OM45GE - Posted - 07/21/2021:  03:25:01

Scotch and enchiladas after the surgery.

I’m hoping they will

KyBanjo - Posted - 07/21/2021:  08:32:27

sew me up better than they did last time.


I'm really

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/21/2021:  11:34:13

disgusted with the current state of TV programming.

No matter

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/21/2021:  11:42:29

what channel I pick, nothing’s on.

Maybe my cable company

OM45GE - Posted - 07/21/2021:  11:55:27

will hook up the cable again if I pay the bill.

I don’t understand what they

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/21/2021:  17:14:02

think the average television viewing audience is interested in watching.

Obviously there is a disconnect

OM45GE - Posted - 07/22/2021:  03:44:10

between my lifestyle and my income.

It’s not going t to

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/22/2021:  04:44:35

rain on my parade if I can help it.

I’ve recruited Tonto’s great grand-nephew

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/22/2021:  07:12:10

Tonto Jr. III (Tonto Junior the Third) to wash and wax my Harley.

He’s

OM45GE - Posted - 07/22/2021:  12:01:54

not very good at it, but he does work cheaply.

He’ll expect

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/22/2021:  14:24:30

some wampum, bannock, and a pinto horse next time.

He never liked the iron horse

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/22/2021:  14:38:07

scene.

He claimed

KyBanjo - Posted - 07/22/2021:  23:08:44

that the iron often rusted and left stains on his chaps.

Once he managed

OM45GE - Posted - 07/23/2021:  03:37:48

to get the chaps cleaned he vowed to never get them near iron again.

That included

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/23/2021:  04:20:32

his employment at the foundry.

After quitting

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/23/2021:  05:45:12

his shakeout job there, he hired on with Patrimonious Plastics.

But the fumes drove him mad

OM45GE - Posted - 07/23/2021:  06:19:48

and he ended up living in a refrigerator carton under the overpass.

It was a nice

KyBanjo - Posted - 07/23/2021:  10:26:32

change of pace for such a unique individual.

He often

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/23/2021:  11:01:42

fashioned his version farm animals from the plastic packing bands.

His

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/23/2021:  11:20:44

claim to fame was infamy.

Police officers

KyBanjo - Posted - 07/23/2021:  23:30:47

sometimes seem to get the worst of it.

Once they

OM45GE - Posted - 07/24/2021:  03:57:15

get used to the long hours and paperwork they have to deal with boredom interspersed with moments of terror.

The best part of the job is

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/24/2021:  04:38:06

visiting donut shops.

The sugar rush

OM45GE - Posted - 07/24/2021:  06:59:05

keeps them awake but the added pounds slow them down.

All in all it’s

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/24/2021:  11:19:27

been a pretty good summer so far.

Granted

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/24/2021:  11:41:07

, my gub’m’nt grant didn’t come through yet.

I applied for a start-up grant

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/24/2021:  11:56:57

for my old Studebaker and they sent me a new battery.

That was OK but

OM45GE - Posted - 07/24/2021:  14:22:05

what the car really needed was a new starter motor.

The battery wasn’t

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/24/2021:  14:51:01

made in the USA , and after-market starter motors are sourced from Indonesian sweatshops.

So I went down to Rocky’s Rekking & Resykling

OM45GE - Posted - 07/24/2021:  16:55:55

who may not be able to spell particularly well, but who does have a huge stock of used auto parts.

Unfortunately, he didn’t

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/24/2021:  18:56:37

have exactly what I needed but I bought some stuff anyway so my trip wouldn’t be wasted.



I found

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/24/2021:  19:04:29

a floor mat for a 1947 Dodge.

Rocky told me he was out of

KyBanjo - Posted - 07/25/2021:  00:17:15

his favorite brew and ask if I could bring some in on my return trip.

Know one actually knew

Don Smith1959 - Posted - 07/25/2021:  01:10:51

so he made some stew while sitting and contemplating his next move

OM45GE - Posted - 07/25/2021:  08:21:28

which is supposed to be to start a new sentence for the next participant to build on.

It’s possible he didn’t understand the

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/25/2021:  08:44:53

complex, complicated rules as set out by the BHO Gaming Commission.

Perhaps an orientation seminar

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/25/2021:  09:28:34

is in order which could possibly include a road trip to Don's house Coolidge Arizona next winter.



We can only stay for

KyBanjo - Posted - 07/25/2021:  10:10:33

few days as our travel permit is about to expire.

Speaking of

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/25/2021:  13:25:34

movies, has anyone seen ‘Renegade Outlaw Nuns on Wheels’?

Apparently

the Pope has banned it in most countries.

However, many theaters

OM45GE - Posted - 07/26/2021:  03:16:11

screen on Easter Sunday it to packed houses.

The ironic juxtaposition

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/26/2021:  08:03:41

seems to have escaped the flailing, ill bred, incompetent masses of those involved.

On the up side

KyBanjo - Posted - 07/26/2021:  15:59:00

there is always room up there for one more.



I really have no

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/26/2021:  18:37:08

idea why aglets have become so shoddily manufactured.

I’ll be writing the AGLET CEO a scathing letter

OM45GE - Posted - 07/27/2021:  03:29:01

She will probably just string me along with a reply laced with vacuous platitudes and meaningless promises.

It’s unlikely that

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/27/2021:  09:57:32

I’ll buy an additional banjo.

After all

OM45GE - Posted - 07/28/2021:  05:21:56

I don’t actually know how to play the banjo.

I also don’t know how to

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/28/2021:  08:54:14

Schottische but that hasn’t stopped me from NOT trying.

Once
