Re: My Boyfriends Back and your gona B sorry

WELL
I SEE from the last eight posts i have been beat out by "Harry Harry" and the "New Pic's" in the reply department!
Just Kidding! In reality that third place rating is GREAT for me as i never came in higher than forth place in any contest that i can remember.
Hello Jim , Im fitting right in i think
Forrest , be right with you
Eric , how you doing young fart
Paul, gald to be in the right part of the U.S.A.
Dick, 61 degrees today , was 38 , closest place i know that has the Alaska feel without the Alaska cold. You must visit here before you make your move.
Brother Bob, gald to be home.
Forrest. You might be sorry you asked!
Sold the house in California i paid $20,500 in 1972 and sold for $335,000 in August 2004. Not bragging , just pointing out the the rise of the cost of living in Mexifornia. " I WON"T BE BACK! " well i will but more on that latter.
We sold the house the first day it listed and moved into my motorhome on some property in the sticks until we retired from the "Q" on Oct 30th.The VERY first night we , wife and 2 dogs, Jsck Russel and a Shit shoe, stayed in it we were awakned at 0230 hrs by the sound of a running engine and the smell of smoke. It seems that Mickey Rat had taked a liking to the taste of my starter curcuit wiring and being an early bird, ( RAT) decided to have it for breakfast. That not being bad enough it seems that Mickey is (was) a fan of large motor cars and somewhat of an electrician,procceded to hotwire the starter which as you know engages the ignition curcuit and PRESTO! a running rolling bomb. > Bomb= 159gal gas + 40 gal propane+ assorted ammo<.
Ever try waking up from a deep sleep , stark naked and try to stop a runaway train? DON"T try it at home or anywhere else for that matter. I will not endorse anyone who trys it.
Now where was i ? Oh Ya . 0230 hrs , so dark you can't see your friend Willie Johnson in front of you. You grab your trusty Maglite and proceed directly to the engine conpartment viva the screendoor.( in the future i will open it first). You disconnect the first battery and are a little startled as to why its still running. It doesn't last long as you notice a heavenly glow at your feet and see the shadow of Mr. Willie Johnson below you and realize you need clothes , shoes and a fire department that is 40 miles away . PLAN B grab one of five fire extinguishers on board, > you do have Five ? correct?<.
put out fire and disconnect the second battery and stand there in total amazment wondering how a battery ignition engine can still be running. You don't strike the thinker pose and whip out the old boy scout pocked knife and start to whittle and ponder long as the fire is back in full swing and its time for fire extinguisher number 2. After picking yourself up after tripping over Jack Russel while on the Extingisher quest a light blub goes off in your head as you smell the hair on your arms burning while your trying to figure remember if your still have the fire bomber phone number still programed into your cell phone and if the sale of the house will cover the bill for burning down half of California and what bridge you will be sleeping under if they don't throw you in jail .Then you remember battery bank number 3 in the storage compartment, which is of course locked and the keys are inside.
No problem as you have made so many trips in and out that even Ray Charles and Stevey Wonder could be doing this now. 0300hrs you finish throwing your gutts out and are sitting in a smokey M/H with the wife and dogs thinking about how luckey you are and how bad it could have been.
1000 hrs and you check damage confined to engine compartment buckeled floor and wiring dash back. 1900hrs and your sitting in the dark watching the solar panal monitor lights glow thanking the lucky stars that at lest something is still working when all at once the panal gives a few blinks and goes blank. Get your flashlite go outside to check the wiring and guess what? the RATS back, chewed them in two in about three places,and he's set up house on top of the engine. Time to get MEAN. DECONE time. RAT eats entire box of decone and to add insult too injury fills the empty box with accords fro the oak tree. Now you have too admire his detemination. Time for the big guns
The SUPER GLUE rat trap. 3 days later i got him, looked to be a 5 pounder. Gave him the boot and you know the rest . 4 zillion wires , 1 million feet of armour cable ( let the little basdards chew through that) 2 mill hours and it may work again.
I figured while i still had state health care and i lived through moving destaster and would get checkup.
Doc said im find except for the prostate cancer. Not to worry , a little radiation treatment and i will be good as new. Hench the reason i have to go back to California for treatmemt once aday for 2 months
I will leave those who have not taken their owne lives by now with these words from Hopkins from the movie " The Edge"
" NEVER FEEL SORRY FOR A MADE THAT OWNES A PLANE"

Re: My Boyfriends Back and your gona B sorry

WOW what a night for you , I laughed so much I passed gas and blew the roller chair out from under myself , it ran over Kelli-Belle's tail who was sleeping behind me in the office. When she yelped and jumped up it alerted Patty who bolted out of her office and slid on the wet floor ( we have had a bit of flooding here) directly into the far wall knocking down all my recently posted photos. So after I clean up the mess and calm Patty & Kelli-Belle down I will start three threads on Sun-n-Fun , Taylorcraft Fly-in 2005 & Osh ( Airventure) . Welcome back old friend. Sorry I never got to visit you at the big Q....
