Seasport rumor

Thread drift, thread drift!

Well, I just finished pulling Levitation from her warm berth in the barn and trailering over to the canvas shop (20 miles)... I noticed her looking around (search light was surveying the snow banks) as we finished hooking up the trailer wiring and checking the turn signals and such... I don't think the snow and frosty temperature passed muster... As I walked back to the truck I gave her the usual pat on the flank but all I got in return was stony silence (any married man knows that signal) I explained that it had to be done before the spring rush starts and she is left waiting at the canvas shop for weeks and weeks... She just kind of sniffed, so I left it at that and got under way...

Anyway, she is going to get beige canvas that is a close match to the border on the pilot house... Windows and screens and zippers and the ueual stuff... Heavy wall tubing and the best SS hardware money can buy... When I got back the barn to put the truck away, it felt kind of empty without her there to receive the pat on the flank when I come through the door... Funny how a little thing becomes a ritual...

On the way to the canvas shop, just as I was starting up from a stop sign there was a fella that had lit some trash in a burn barrel (rural area) and started walking back to his house... The flickering flames caught my peripheral vision and I automatically looked... At the same time the motion of the truck and boat must have caught him the same way and I saw him casually look and then look ahead... A perfect one half second later he did a double take and just stood there with his mouth hanging open as we drove on past and out of sight... You have to realize it is hard winter here in Michigan... Snow plows and salt trucks are the expected large vehicles at road intersections... Levitation kind of caught him off balance...
 
speaking of old people, my mother set my dad or fire, well he set himself on fire she just burned him.
:roll:
Dad was welding on one end of a pipe and had his stomach to close to the other end. it set his shirt on fire. Well mom is working on something else in the shop and hears dad trying to blow something out. Well the donater of half my gene pool is trying to blow out the flame with his face shield in place :shock:

so mom runs over and proceeds to pat out the flame with her hand against dads gut! now dad has a burned shirt and a blistered tummy. I don't have to worry about adult living care for these two, they won't make it that far.
 
Roger,

Single = one plug, applied from either inside or out side.
Twin = one plug applied from the inside AND one plug from the outside,
for those who never could get on the right side of that argument.

Match Made in Heaven

A young couple were driving down the road one day, happily, deliriously in love and due to be married the next day. Suddenly, a large truck swerved from the oncoming lanes into their car! BOOM! And they both died.

At the Pearly Gates, the young couple confronted St. Peter. "Sir, you have to help us! We were to be married tomorrow. Is there any way we can be married in Heaven?"

"Hmmm," replied St. Peter, "I don't recall there ever being a marriage in Heaven. Well, let's take it up with God and see what he says."

So they approached God with their plea. God sat for a moment, pondering the request. Then he looked down and said, "Come back in five years and ask me again."

Five years later, the couple approached God again, even more in love than ever and pleading that he allow their marriage. God paused for quite a while, musing over their request. Then he spoke, "Come back in five years and ask me again."

And once again, five years later, the couple was again in the presence of God, more in love than ever and begging God's permission for the third time to marry. This time God smiled broadly and thundered, "Yes my children, you may marry!"

Well, the wedding went off beautifully, the reception was huge, everyone thought the bride was simply breathtaking and the groom was soooo handsome, and everyone was happy! Until...

Two years later, the couple was back before God, and things were not looking so good. The couple had come to the realization almost immediately that although marriages were made in heaven, they didn't last very long there! And, in spite of their struggles to come to terms with the situation, they had decided there simply was no alternative but to get a divorce.

Black clouds fractured by lightening rolled across the sky, and the ground shook with explosive thunder. God glared down at the tiny couple before him, his face becoming dark and angry, and he roared, "Divorce?! Impossible!!! It took us TEN years just to find a priest in Heaven! Do you have any idea how long it will take to find a LAWYER?!!"
 
OK, OK, I give...I can laugh at this one because I no longer have to do hourly billing!

A lawyer dies and goes to Heaven (see, Jim?). St Peter meets him at the Pearly Gates and says "I was expecting a MUCH older man!" The lawyer says "Why, I was only 47 when I died." St Peter says "No, I reviewed your timesheets, and you MUST be at least 147." [RIMSHOT]
