THREADS ABOUT A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING

[Robs Fieros]

I am walking with my cane now and I just got somebody to weed eat my yard for me free of charge. It's my power company's meter reader. And I also bought a self propelled electric push mower, 1 lever pulls the mower and the other lever runs the blades,

[GTRS Fiero]

Good for you.

Have you seen the mower the Vonage guy has?  It looks nicer than it is, but gave me some ideas.

If you haven't been to the Lincoln Museum in Illinois, I highly recommend the museum.  Not Illinois.  There is an OK movie, but an excellent hologram.

Supposed to go boating today, but it's rained out.  Get this.  It's from yesterday's rain.  Caution: boat may get wet while in use.

Hoping to run the Colorado rapids, later this year, but not looking good.

For anyone who has seen the Chipmunks movie.  At the end, Dave lets the Chipmunks steer.  Not that much in that movie is realistic, but it seems that a chipmunk's body weight would be insufficient to steer a Triumph.  This came up, because someone asked about letting a chipmunk steer my Fiero.  Yeah, NOT!

Cant let him out from under the deck lid

[GTRS Fiero]

The chipmunk goes on a wheel in the front compartment!

I received the following email:
Get algebra test results from Dr. S.
Take clothes to laundry
Make dinner reservations
See if roommate will be out of town
Pick up dress from dry-cleaner
Call mom for Thanksgiving


There were more items, but I gathered it was a college student.  I replied back that maybe I was the wrong person.  About the time I hit send, another email came through, with pictures.  Well, now she can't run for public office.

[scottb]

We need proof that you have pictures

[GTRS Fiero]

LOL!  Apparently, GrannyLinda is the person on here to give approval for that.  Without hearing from her, personally, I couldn't possibly...

[scottb]

Then it didn't happen

[TopNotch]

I'm sure GrannyLinda would have no objection to giving Scott the pictures. He was like an adopted son to her, and she's want to make him happy.

[GTRS Fiero]

I'm rather sure the young lady was mortified.
