On Sunday December 8 at 1 pm I am having a birthday/retirement party at The Joyo Theater at 6102 Havelock Ave, Lincoln, Nebraska.
We are having a screening of that classic from 1974 Blazing Saddles.
Presents are not needed, just show up if you can, dress the part if you wish, bring whoopee cushions or your armpit for sound effects when needed, bring a whole shitload of dimes. Don't just be a pawn in the game of life.
We are planning on having fun and we don't need no stinking badges.
Do show up if you can or the n,,,,,,,,,,, will get it, better not, Facebook bots won't like it.
Aw yes, the days of our youth when we could watch a funny movie without being offended.

My plan was to hit Cracker Barrel for the Turkey lunch special , but when I got in there , they were out of their cornbread dressing , and green bean casserole ( sorry Del )
Not to mention un-sweet tea .... cant handle sweet tea , to insipidly sweet for my tastes.
Three strikes ...I was out of there ::)

Well that was exciting, at 5 am, was woke with a bong, bong, bong, bong alarm, flashing light, Rita getting the heck away from me and telling Riley to run, I realize I am not having massive chest pains and am breathing as good as I have been and am trying to find the double buttons before I get tazed.
Push them, look at the screen and it didn't think I was dieing, it didn't know because one of the electrodes was not making contact. Finally had to take the whole damned electric girdle contraption off and put it back on as well as pull the battery and reboot the dang thing.
I remember now the noise it makes for a problem with me is louder, more shrill and vibrates on the belt also as well as telling Rita to get her and the dog out of the way.
If I wanted zapped at 5 am I'd go pee on an electric fence.

That sounds as if it could cause a heart attack as well as warning of one.

OK, went out to see Rita, she had a tray ordered for me so we could have supper and I was to get cake.
Tray came, no cake, had a sticker that said no cake because she is on a low carb diet.
Well I'm sorry, that was so dang funny with everything else going on including my real cake and party being canceled, I about lost it laughing.
Before I left, barely they came up with my cake and said they were sorry about the mix up and I told the gal the whole story and had her laughing.

Howdy Y'all, Del, be nice to the nurses, they keep the Drs. from killing you.
Quick update on my medical goings on. Friday I went in and had a temporary Spinal cord stimulator installed. It sends an electrical charge to the nerves to cancel out the pain impulses. So far it seems to be working. I would say my back pain went fro a 9-10 down to a 5 or so. I can walk better and don't have to worry about turning the wrong way and causing more pain. The temp unit will come out on Thursday then they will try to get permission from workers comp to install a permanent unit which will have the battery/ control unit and all the wires under the skin. I'll be in the hospital for 2 to 3 days for that. I'll try to keep Y'all updated.

Told Rita if they put Me on a low carb high protein diet like they will, she can't complain how much meat or peanut butter I put on my samwhich. I always tell her I don't work at Subway so I can put enough meat on it. ;D

Currently somewhere around freezing and overcast. I had a final in accounting this morning. It was unnecessarily long, but I got it done in the allotted time.
Did my monthly Exodus to Great Falls for Uncle Sam. We had the unit Christmas party, which for me was spent assembling children's games and then running one of them. It was a snowy drive back, but we made it safely.

Slim, I had a dream about you last night.
I and a sizable group of other fellars were helping you do odd jobs around your farm.
My main job was cutting 15 1/2" of stout pipe with a pipe cutter. You made a point of reminding me of the necessary measurements a couple of times. I was having trouble getting it measured properly as the tape measure kept shifting. So somebody else took over and I was put to work digging out the foundation under your front stoop to be reworked and filled in again more solidly.
I must have done a good job, because a girl came up to me and gave me a nice, long hug. I recall feeling a bit embarrassed by the attention.
Dang!, I woke up after that.

I may be sick but I have a warped sense of humor.
Lady at my appointment yesterday on heart health told me despite what people tell you, sea salt is still salt and not better in excess that regular salt. Itold her I never use it because i don't want fish pee in my food. ;D She about lost it and my daughter rolled her eyes.

She was talking to them earlier and now they want to see her at the same time about the swelling in her legs.

Copy and paste from 2 FB threads, don't feel like typing it all out again.
I will, had a cup of coffee while I was up, probably looked heartless, when they got here I was in the dining room drinking coffee and Rita was stuck in the bathroom. I'm on a 10 pound limit for 4 days and couldn't do much to help. She had some trouble earlier and I got in trouble with her and my daughter because I was going to help.
I had to go downstairs to pee (took my cell phone) because with the full moon I was afraid someone might see me and call the cops. That's all I need.
She's going to be Ok, is in ICU but because she needs closely monitored and gets a pic line for meds. Low BP is one problem due to a med change as well as a bladder infection.
Her and the niece told me I have to stay home but Lexie is here and the niece is 2 miles away and off today. My daughter will be in town and have other back ups.

Not a good day today. My Mothers car decided that it would be a good time for the radiator to self destruct right befor the s**wstorm from hell start, I had to rearrange the garage so I can work on it out of the weather. I couldn't see where the leak was coming from so I had to remove it and pressure test it, leak was at the seam between the end tank and the core. Of course they don't make them out of copper anymore so I couldn't fix it by re-soldering the seam ,I have to order a new unit,Rock Auto to the rescue, But it will be at least a week for it to get here.I'll be adding chauffeur to the list of job titles I presently hold .Y'all stay warm and dry.

some years ago I had a Jeep Wrangler with a plastic Rad, it was leaking at the top tank...
no practical way to seal it so replacement was in order.... I called Radiator Barn (national Wearhouse) and they sent me an all metal replacement in 24 hours.
perfect drop-in
I was impressed

Can you post here and the barracks, told Jerry someone would.

Ok, Rita should be out of the hospital Thursday or Friday, but they are talking rehab hospital for a week or so, I expect the same fate.
Lexie and her mom are staying here with Riley, Lexie is doing good with him and is teaching him to put his toys away.

Evening all.
Arrived in The Golden State last night around 5. Spent today recovering and returning the uhaul dolly. For posterity sake, I would really not suggest those things for anything more than a trip across town. Absolute pain to drive, and no brakes.
Major, I second Radiator Barn. My dad has bought three from them (2 for a '97 Chevy 4.3 V6,and one for a '05 Subaru 2.5). The two Chevy rads were metal, and the Subaru was plastic.
Now if you all will excuse me, I have a casserole to make.

Checked out radiator barn, they only listed aftermarket radiators with the plastic tanks and they cost more than the one I ordered from Rock Auto.com, But thanks for the heads up.

Here is the message I got from Delmonico's daughter at 1:13 PM, "His heart is better today it was at 30% instead of 20 but that can change daily. They did 4 bypasses, took 1 vein from his leg and stuff from the chest. He is tubed for breathing so we still can't see him for 3 or more hours so we can't see him until it is out. But dr said things were good and it went well."

On the lighter side - sort of :o.... I have learned today that consuming Polar bear or even Husky liver is toxic to human. I have struck it from my bucket list of things I must eat before I leave the planet. Not sure if that makes sense ;D

Of the four impeachment proceedings brought against sitting Presidents, Andrew Johnson's was not justified.
Husky liver strikes me as something of an emergency ration, like eating rats during a siege.

Evening all. I'll stir some coals.

Just got back from a long and ancient tradition of manhood, I just made the after midnight plumbing check.🙄
In my situation this is done with the help of a sweet young thing who has been escorting old men on such trips for 1/4 year. Of course the young lady has yet to totally figure out what kind of creature it is in 335A. Although the lady in 335B seems normal until it is found she also sleeps with the feet sticking out from under the covers like the 335B creature.
-
I rarely awaken before 0600 to check plumbing. However unless I have socks n shoes on, my feet are always cold.
I have a quilt at the foot end of bed to help there.
Respiratory nurse stops by today - bi annual visit.
Everything else normal

Is it an original carbine or a cut-down?
Slim
-
well yes or no ... it is a Constabulary carbine
The Philippine Constabulary were the native police established in 1902 by Tafts Philippine Commission which oversaw civil affairs of the Philippine Islands. They were law enforcement officers paid by the Civil Philippine Commission. Similar to the US Marshals in America, Philippine Constabulary officers were not limited to a jurisdiction. They had the capabilities to cross county lines(in this case, provinces and regions). The Philippine Constabulary were originally issued old US military stock Springfield Trapdoor single-shot 45 rifles from the Indian Wars. During the pacification of the islands after the Phil-Am War, the Trapdoor rifle proved to be inferior when fighting in the dense terrains of the Visayas and Mindanao regions where combatants would rush out in hoards. After the first initial shot, reloading another round became near impossible. As many PC inspectors complained: the Trapdoor rifle became a one shot club.
The Springfield Trapdoors were replaced by the Krag Carbines in early 1906. Unique to only the Philippines, the Krag full length rifles were modified and cut down to a shorter size at the POD(Philippine Ordnance Depot) in Intramurous. The original purchase price for each Krag, $6.00. The Krag Constabulary Carbine would also be short lived, they would later be replaced by Springfield M1903 rifles by 1910(but Krags would still be in service until 1917). Less than a handful of these Philippine Constabulary Krag Carbines exist today. Making them the mostly highly sought after and prized rifle of all Krag models by gun collectors and enthusiasts. These were made (about 4000) using the carbine barrel and configured rifle stocks as short rifles.

Glen the good news is they are able to wait for you to go, while you are standing.
