Semper Fi!

Dithering nervously until the coast clears is a sure sign of a na’erdowell.

Dang! I didn’t even see that. Good catch. Could be why it was pulled into a gas station. I was trying to order a biscuit at Bojangles and snap a pic at the same time.

Saw someone hauling this ‘70 Riviera. Looks like they might have a cool project on their hands.

I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve. I’ve been looking forward to this show since last year’s. It was truly a well run, first class event. I’ll be the long haired dude in the blue Mopar shirt moseying around with a look of wonderment in my eyes. Please, walk up and say “hi”, as I do enjoy meeting fellow enthusiasts in person. Til tomorrow… (oh yeah, a quick PSA for anyone driving in from N or NW GA and all points north: There will be Traffic Pacing on I-575 tomorrow. Plan accordingly.)

Awake past 9 PM comes to an end in roughly 3 days- standard time can’t be gone soon enough.

Decades have slipped by and my vices have fallen by the wayside, with the exception of the coffin nails and good, strong coffee.

“No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain’t got no cigarettes.”

Ago route is what a wide receiver would run if football games were aired on History Channel.

Alternate captions: ”Awwww man!! Now what did I do with those dang lock washers!?” ”Frank, aren’t these supposed to be left hand thread?” ”The FastenAll bill is gonna be hell this month.” Genie: “Sorry Frank. You should have been more specific. I mean, I saw the huge bolts sitting there and just assumed…. Anyway, you have two wishes left.”

I’ve worked with too many folks to count that would still find a way to cross-thread them…..

“Them that don’t know him won’t like him and them that do sometimes won’t know how to take him, he ain’t wrong, he’s just different but his pride won’t let him do things to make you think he’s right.”

Fumes inhaled while welding galvanized steel always made me feel like crud on a cracker and the notion that drinking milk would ease such cruddiness proved to be nothing more than an old wives’ tale.

“Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee, it gets hotter than a hoochie coochie.”

Exclaimed Ebenezer upon waking from his nightmare, “Merry Christmas!”

Speaker clarity is far more important to me than bass.

Suprême sauce is a classical French sauce made from velouté, thickened with cream and usually served over poultry.

“Have gun will travel reads the card of a man, a knight without armor in a savage land, his fast gun for hire heeds the calling wind, a soldier of fortune is a man called Paladin.”

Hobby budgeting of both time and money are a necessity and it’s hard to put a finger upon which is more difficult.

Recently I cleared out and turned under my vegetable garden with the exception of the brassicas.

Chainsaw kickback can give you a splitting headache.

Welcome back, Leroy! Good to see that you’re still alive and kicking.

Served frozen rather than cold, revenge may be hard to chew if one has sensitive teeth.

I use a few sheet metal scribes from my fabricator/welder days. I’ve ground the tungsten tips down to different sizes and polished them. I find them much less “slippy” than the back of an Exacto.
