Just got this from over the pond. ;DBeing in the South, I can see a variation of that... ;D
Yeah .... Brexit 1861" ... but being hauled down , defaced , desecrated, or removed in the dead of night, it is harder to see ::)When they started pulling down all those statues and memorials, I wondered what they were going to do with them. I have 25 acres they could put them on :)
Morning all.
Today's Itinerary includes:
dog walking
Removing the carbs from an '82 Suzuki bike
Going to the annual rodeo tonight.
That's about it. ::)

I've had a mess of Hondas and Kawis in the past, and one Suzuki. The Suzi had a funky ball and socket type setup on the gear shift, that was always popping loose at the wrong time. That's why I only had one of them. I also had a Harley Panhead I was building from the ground up... until I had some legal issues. It was sell the bike, or go to jail. Many is the time I think I made the wrong choice.

Er. You mean your in jail? ;DNo, I am free, but have no Harley anymore. It was soo close to being finished too. '57 straight leg rigid frame and tank shift, mildly stretched and raked. 10" over springer from a '47 Knuckle. 16" front and rear spoked wheels. '57 large bearing engine. '37 beehive tail light and cat's eye dash from a '37 knuckle. It was almost like Johnny Cash's Cadillac in that song :) I would have been out of jail in 6 months.

"One piece at a time" always gets a good laugh out of me.One piece at a time describes how I built it.
Hey Del!Be nice. ;)
Who's that grizzly ol' man in tha photo? Is that Slim's grandad?
There is a family resemblance. ::)
That is me being nice. ;D ;D ;D
Be nice. ;)
Slim
He was kinda nice.
Slim
But he limped...not sure why.Someone said he limped last year, too.
Afternoon all.
Standard California weather, still. 105 and sunny.
My dog is at the vet right now, getting her foot stitched. It was still bleeding this morning when I got up, and she split it open more when I got back from work (side note. She gets really excited when I get back from anywhere. Even if it's just the bathroom. ). We took her in to the vet at 1240, and he said "Yes it needs stitches. We're pretty full today, so we'll keep her until I can get it done. It will be sometime between 1430 and 1800." So much for my afternoon...
I was working on the bike this morning. Successfully removed the gas tank, only to find I don't have the tool I need to remove the air box. Seems to be the story of my vehicle-fixing life. :-\ I'm going to go talk to my neighbor here in the next couple of days, though. He's built two choppers in his garage already, and he's working on the third. He's doing it from the ground up, fabricating the frame and everything around a Harley engine he got for free. He should have the tools. ::)
--TK
Just got home, 50 point something hours this week, so far, got 10 tomorrow at at least 5 on Thursday. ::)
Alabama rain is in forcast per usual today.
I finally figured out why I wasn't sleeping too good at night. Aside from the bugs, and the dogs going off every time I started to doze, maybe drinking 3 or 4 espressos before bed was a bad idea? Perhaps I should just add more steamed milk...
Don't believe the steamed milk will help...'til be still chalked full of caffeine. Besides, espresso shouldn't be diluted!Normally, I'm right there with ya. Been drinking espressos black for years, with lots of sugar- Cubano style. But, after drinking black coffee all day, that is a lot of extra acid. So, I tend to cut the acid with a little steamed milk, more cappuccino style. I tell you, getting old has it's drawbacks. I don't recommend it ;)

Delmonico, your pics are all displaying error that you need to renew or update your hosting privileges.That is just Photobucket's way of trying to make money off of a free account. Now they want you to pay for the privilege of linking to your pictures. If you have a PB account, I suggest you download whatever pics you don't want to lose. I will bet they disappear from your account soon enough... unless you pay to join. Even then, they may still get lost.
Morning all.

Glad to hear you're recouping Lil Rooster. When they opened up my chest for a biopsy, the idjits somehow deflated a lung, so I had to go through the chest tube routeHow long did you drain fluids thru the incision sight after it was pulled?
Another site others were complaining of same. In PB account ::)It seems like I was seeping for at least a few days, but it was almost 2 years ago, and I can't be responsible for accuracy over that long a period. I do remember though, that I really didn't have much pain after waking up. I was in the ICU for a day, then picked up my stuff, and walked back to my regular room... which really ticked off the wife. She's a Nurse, and feels she knows more than me. I know if I can do something or not... and if not, I won't admit I was wrong ;)

I took my self off of pain killers second day home. My brain seems clearer but the pain
Still comes and goes.
Slim may have to take the big fish gun out bark a few squirrels this fall. ;DGood fun. ;D

I was in icu 5 days this time- i have been out 5 days and still seep thru the blow hole like the Great White. Chnge dressings and tee shirts 2 or 3 times a day.The nurse/wife says you should see your doctor.

The Commodore let you down ?
If i was a betting man, that is where i'd bet.
But i rather come up with things i can't see him doing ;)
Yeah...like test drive a Prius ...or go see " 50 Shades of Gray " buying Aluminum/ Teflon ware
Well, that was rather anti-climatic and not nearly as exciting as some of the guesses ;)

Here is three winners :)Hey! Del!
Maybe you should quit on photobucket, they seem to have quit on you. ::)
Uh huh!
Third day without rain - might get a little work done. Not suppose too, but i am bored as heck sitting watching cooking shows.
TK, that's some pricey tires! I get all four on most of my vehicles for that. No 55,000 warranty, either. Mail route, I get 10-15,000 at best, but probably 30,000+ on the others(Unless I get un-repairable sidewall thorn leaks on the trucks).
Summer finally settled in here, forecast mid-upper 90's all week, "heat index" well into the 100s. Dragged the 2 "window shakers" out of storage, blew off the dust with an air hose, stuck them in the windows, and now enjoying nice cool air. One 9,000 and one 10,500 BTU units do a decent job in this 1920's house-unless you're doing a lot of cooking, canning, etc.
Slim, why couldn't i get 3 separate quotes on that post?I'm not sure. ???
I'm not sure. ???

Back in the hospital again- this is no longer any funI'm praying for you, pard.
Back in the hospital again- this is no longer any fun
Thinking good thought & best wishes, Roo :)
look on the bright side ...3 squares , free Soap opera's & the View ! ;D nothing like a daily dose of Whoopee Goldberg to lift one spirits.
You do realize, that $200 a night doesn't get you a sexy nurse catering to you, sponge baths, or enemas... ::)
I'd rather tend the <spit!> sheep <spit!> wagon. ... but you do realize i could get all if that at a Hampton Inn for 200 a day not 2000.....
Next on todays agenda more xrays.

It's. Extra $50. At Hampton ;DI told my nurse wife what I said, and she responded that"For that $2,000 a night, you certainly aren't going to get an attentive nurse to do all that with a smile". I told her that for $2,000 a night, I most certainly could get all that, with a smile, and she'd even wear a cap and white stockings. Funny thing is, I married a nurse, and still can't get any of that ::)
Pedro sez, "Chili today, Hot Tamale".
;D
Got home from verk 'bout 15 min ago. ::)
Slim
Great to hear! Follow the Doc's orders, and hopefully you'll heal up just like new!
Well, since nobody else is around, I guess I'll have to start the chow.Was the squirrel misbehaving? I know my youngin misbehaves a bit, and I should take him behind the woodshed and tan his hide...
Weather is forecast to be below 100 today. 99, but still below 100. ::)
On my slate today: tanning a squirrel hide, planting some late carrots, planting some late season wheat, and trying to dodge a fever.

CQ...inquiring minds would like to see this holster!(http://www.smokewagonleather.us/1911.jpg) Keep in mind, just a rough pattern... but he signed off on it, as long as I lose the bottom snake head.
Just got this info...I never knew the man, but you and your family have my deepest sympathy, and will be in my thoughts. I lost my Mom to cancer 25 years ago, and 3 years ago I was also diagnosed with small cell lung cancer, and was lucky enough to catch it early, and see the best doctors in the country. I wish the best for all of you.
I have some really bad news. I just found out that Arcey is in the hospital. I just got this from his daughter, Andrea.
"About a month ago they found a spot in his lung that was possibly cancerous, long story short, the biopsy done the other day confirmed small cell lung cancer and it had spread quickly all over plus a tumor on his esophagus which has labored his breathing to the point of needing constant ventilation. Not much left they can do but try keep the pain to a minimum.
We have decided it would be best to just stop ventilation since we met with the doctors and conditions cannot improve on their own...he will now be on hospice care with only pain meds"

but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

Slim good luck to daughter #3 ;D hope all her lead changes are perfectShe got 2 blues and a red.
Morning all.You need to watch, if you have not already, "The Ranger, the Cook and a Hole in the Sky".
I've been on top of a mountain all week, "getting trained." Basically, I sat on a stool and listened to the radio while watching for smoke. Yesterday was my first solo day. It went well enough. There was only one smoke in my reporting zone, but my sister-tower across the valley got it called in before I did. ::)
Today is my day off, then I'm on a six day week starting tomorrow. Hello overtime. ;D
I'm going to take my dog for a good long walk now.

Brush-hogging time is here again. Flat tire on the tractor already after 2-3 hours. It's a BACK tire, of course... >:( 18.4X34 is a pretty heavy item...When you get the tire replaced, bring your rig over to my place ;)

Top of the Mornin Y'all. Seems like everybody is staying busy, and it looks like I am too. I took on a pair of holsters for a Son, and one for his Dad for Christmas. Just finishing them off now... well, after I get the laundry done. Had a friend at the pawnshop ask for a holster, so I cranked out a quicky for her Ruger 38 while I waited for the first two to dry. Now I have one more to do after them, and two more requests after that. At this rate, I'm going to need an A/C unit in the shed, so I can work during the day! This "Hobby" is becoming a full time job...
It was a LCR 38 snubby, and the pics are still on the camera. Wife is about out of data, so I haven't posted them yet. Happy? ::)

Well who urinated in yer oatmeal? ;D
Well who urinated in yer oatmeal? ;DLack of sleep, coupled with chronic shoulder pain, further aggravated by lots of leather workin... that's who. And it's Cornflakes, not oatmeal ;)
Got off at 4:30 am instead of 12 am. Got to be back by 4. So much for a real 40 hour week this week.
They got a bed in those smoke towers? While I never been up in one, the ones they have here in Missouri don't have more than enough room for a couple of chairs I think. But they rarely, if ever use them anymore.
I thought I had posted a pic of the Ruger LCR38 holster Lil Rooster had asked about... maybe it got deleted? I'll post again in the Leather Shop.
