Why did it sit for 10 years? That's when I became "Waterboy." I bought a big boat and went boating every chance I had. Now the boat is gone and I'm back to being car guy
OMG!!! The hacker is back in the house. Check out this picture I took of her perch. FULL of crumbs, and she's sitting in it right now'
I'm searching the house for my chrome side pipe guards. They're big! At least 4 feet long and 3 inches wide. I searched under my bed. Not there, but I did find a perfect 68/69 black A/C dash pad??? It is not mine and my sons do not believe it is theirs. But my youngest son wants it!!!
Well, I searched in every room, closet, under beds, and everywhere else. I didn't find my side pipe guards, but I do know my wife is a HORDER!!!!!!!!
Finally she went in! Holy crap! I'm trying to work on my car in the garage. She's on the front porch hacking away more than the Kansas farm family who had their throats slit in the Truman Capote movie "In Cold Blood." I'm telling you... I'm gonna kill her!
I know this is supposed to be the misery channel, but I am euphoric, (Holy crap! I spelled euphoric correctly!!!) I am as excited as a little kid waiting for Christmas morning. When they leave I'm going to pop a top, jump up in the air, and kick my heals together. I can still do that! Then I'm going to take "crumb" pictures. After seeing today's couch picture I was amazed. The "weasel" could make a meal out of it. The little bits of meatloaf are still between the stove and counter top. The microwave is a mess, and when the morning light comes through the front door window her crumbs look amazing on my floor. They were down in September for my youngest son's wedding. We were talking about my hardships when my arm was messed up. Jane said, "I thought we helped you out a lot." I just smiled and said, "Yes you did." Oh I'm laughing!!! I have a picture of my kitchen counter the day they left, and the mess they left me to clean up with ONE arm. Yes Siree!!! I was sooooo happy you left that I took a picture of the breakfast mess you left me that morning. Yes, I cleaned it ALL up with ONE friggin arm. Good job Johnny!!! I bet you, tomorrow I will have the same picture, but maybe different coffee cups. We'll see...................
Patrick... I heard something about you the other night. Whoa! That sounds interesting..... Not at all bad. LMAO!!! My son, Alex, said you brought up a show car this past year. If that's true, I'm bummed that I didn't get to see it!!!!!! I can only believe it looks GREAT! Sorry I didn't send any pics of my convertible today. I was doing 100 MPH sorting through parts, cleaning parts, painting parts, and having a dam good time!!! I won't lie. Having a completely, and I believe pretty correctly to the nut and bolt parts, already built car sure helps when I'm wondering???, "What screws hold the glove compartment door on? Found them, cleaned them, and painted them. I also put all the A/C duct work in. PITA!!! The best part of the day...... I can't find my glove box lock. So I used another lock. I was soooo afraid that once I popped the lock tumbler in the lock, it would be locked and I'd be screwed. It worked out GREAT!!! A truly productive day!
Hmmm. No, I brought the same blue GS as before. Only change was the lumpier sounding engine from the summer swap. I did enter it in the show not expecting to place but because it’s mostly correct and thought people might like to see it. It’s left lane, Bryan W.’s ‘Granny’ car in the right.
Smokey. Would that be watching snatch? Its actually 48 deg in my garage. The air smells better in the cold. As long as its not cold enough to freez my snot and nose hairs. Thankfully it never is in Sac. Have you ever tried wearing an Orka outfit for your penguins? Or if you have one of them talking internet boxes alexa sirri or alyssa ask it to talk like an Orka. It might be entertaining.
Good morning all!!! I am presently waiting for them to leave their last mess, load their clothes, and get the heck out of Dodge. Let the good times roll! HotRodRivi... Talk about smell. When I was searching in his room for car parts I noticed the smell. He's got his own hamper in there filled with dirty, and apparently smelly clothes. I don't understand how his clothes can smell like BO? He walks at the speed of SLOW!!! He never spends any energy? And why do they go to bed dirty and take a shower in the morning. I only do that when I'm drunk. Strange behaviors from these pesky animals...
I am still waiting for their bus to depart. I went in the house to brush my teeth and take a dump. The weasel was doing his usual in the kitchen. Holding the refrigerator door open and staring into it. I would love to know what is going on in his mind when he does that. I know he is staring at all the food in there, thinking..., "Sure wish somebody would make me over easy eggs, bacon, and some toast to make crumbs with." When his wife doesn't come in the kitchen he goes for the second choice, cereal. As I said before, I went in the house to brush my teeth and take a dump. He is so slow that when I came out of the bedroom after doing my morning duty he hadn't even poured his cereal into the bowl yet. He must've spent a lot of time staring into the refrigerator.
Fred, when we were kids we got yelled at for doing that. We also got yelled at for leaving lights on in the house. These penguins have perfected that. Every day all the lights are on! They left about 40 minutes ago. I was sorting through parts on the back porch when the weasel came out with one box of stuff. He was walking so slow. I thought about it for a minute, and then I decided to help him. I couldn't be a "Dick." Plus, if I help them they would leave sooner. Good thinking John. I did what I said I would do last night. I popped a top as soon as they left. I forgot to jump up and click my heels so I just did that. Now my back hurts.
When I was caught with the fridge door open, my mom would threaten to take a Poloroid of the contents and tape it to the door. Was a big no-no ....Jim
To all, What I remember growing up was the constant reference to the Rockefeller. Leave the room to go to the bathroom, shut the light off we aren't the Rockefellers. same with the refrig door. I swear there was a hollow between the walls of the bathroom sending out vibrations into the living room where Dad was watching TV. He could here the toilet paper running off the roll. How much paper do you need to wipe that little ass!!!. Ahh, the good ole days. BUT, even after his passing 37+ yrs. ago I still miss him. Tom T.
Tom... My Dad's only been gone about 5 years, and yes, I sure do miss him!!! He definitely allowed our relationship to transfer from Dad to friend after I got married. He'd stop by every afternoon, or evening, and hangout. Every now and then he'd get bored while we were hanging out in the garage. He'd walk out to his car, pop open the trunk, and come back with a can of spray lubricant. He'd spray all the moving parts of the garage door and it would work so much better! The other night I did "Dad's job." Boy that sucker goes up and down effortlessly!!! Miss you Pops!!!
To Tom and Jerry... No pun intended. > Yesterday I was thinking about my reply to Tom, and what Tom had said. I'm guessing it sure is waaaay better to "miss our Dads" then to have had a piece of sheet Dad that we sure don't miss! Funny what you said about the word "Pops", Tom. My youngest calls me Pops. I'm pretty sure my oldest calls me Dad. But ALL their friends call me Pops. Yes, I guess we are getting old. Patrick... I'll post some pics of my convertible later today. I promise! I've been going crazy trying to clean up this place for the Buick Get Together tomorrow, and then I realized I'm NOT putting the convertible back together for tomorrow's get together. I'm putting it together for my son's wedding. I still have weeks to play. And play I have! Going through all these parts I've collected over the years, picking out the best ones, and putting them on the car has been a blast. I feel like a kid again!!! Oh yeah, this is the Penguin thread. Don't know what they're doing. Don't care. I did clean the house yesterday for 3 hours, 55 minutes. It looks great again. I did take pictures of the crumbs that I'll post later. Would you believe the fat azz must have dragged bagel crumbs along for a ride on the back of her pants? I found crumbs on the bathroom throw rug! Holy sheet!!!
I'm just laughing!!! I thought, I haven't beached about the penguins for awhile. Dang, life is good! I was working on putting 6 X 9 speakers in the back of my convertible. I know, if you own a convertible you're probably thinking I'm crazy. The divider between the back seat and trunk has these 6 X 9 cutouts. I don't know what was intended to go there, but with a little cutting, they're not wide enough for the width of the speakers, 6 X 9 speakers fit in them. So the little penguin came out to see what all the noise was. Before I knew it we were talking. That's messed up!!!! What a waste of time!!! She just beaches about work!!! We talked for almost 45 minutes. What!!! We talked so long that it was to late to make a bunch of noise. Dang! Now what?
