What old people do for fun

Paper Shred

After dismantling the paper shredder (I over fed and jammed), I became overly frustrated trying to get the shaft, and bush parts back together. PLAN B, I cut the plastic and attached the drill. It worked but the paper feeder never quite spun fast enough. I gave up took the papers upstairs and burned them in a metal can.
The drill attachment should have worked, a lot of married guys need to buy accessories to justify buying power tools. For the guy on a budget, how about a hair dryer, a big fan in the drill, a kitchen stir-mixer, a coffee bean grinder, a blender... the money is in the attachments. a whipper snipper grass cutter. Totally do-able, pencil sharpener. Boy o boy have I got ideas.

Cars are great

Have wheels I'm running the roads all weekend and several evenings. It is just easy. My co-worker saw me type this and then offered me a handful of change for the car. Nice people, huh! He is convinced I want to sell. ( I think he just wants to buy..)
Hounded by young car wash guys, at the undergound parking lot by the gay pool, was I ? "Come on baby, let me shine the car, I can make it look and feel new, here is a coupon for 200." When I said no, he didn't believe me. I asked where to park, he said anywhere and then a guy steered me toward the wash area. He ran to get a brush. I jumped out to clarify I don't need a shiny car. The look on their faces. But really why would I spend 450 to wash the car. I was already going to pay 120 (40*3hrs) for parking.
One of the previous operators told me the battery might be the next to go. After driving through Sunday night typhoon leftovers, I parked the car around the corner from my house. Monday morning at 7:25 I returned to the car to drive myself to work. The headlights were on! The car started I drove myself to work and then took the cable off the battery. A switch broke, it was cheap to replace, the battery is fine.

Canadian Burger, coke

I was sent to find this in August. My Peeps wanted to know what a medium coke cost at a Canadian McDonald's. Gee shouldn't the price varry. Could production costs be the same?

o for september

I don't have a lot of time to devote to this right now.

September's goose egg was not due to apathy, just massive work load.

I'm taking a couple of tech courses though,

I'll share what I think our reader might enjoy...

And still hopefully find time to make up lies about Kevlar...

Prof showed us this video today as an example of a mashup.

very funny...

shits and giggles

I didn't watch much of the Olympics except for some diving.
I got this email...
These may or may not be actual quotes from the Olympics.

Here are the top nine comments made by NBC sports commentators
during the Olympics that they would probably like to take back:

1. Weight-lifting commentator: 'This is Gregorieva from Bulgaria. I saw
her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing.'

2. Dressage commentator: 'This is really a lovely horse and I speak from
personal experience since I once mounted her mother.'

3. Paul Hamm, Gymnast: 'I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother
and father.'

4. Boxing Analyst: 'Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in
boxing, but none of them really that serious.'

5. Softball announcer: 'If history repeats itself, I should think we can
expect the same thing again.'

6. Basketball analyst: 'He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like
it. In fact you can see it all over their faces.'

7. At the rowing medal ceremony: 'Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the IOC
president is hugging the cox of the British crew.'

8. Soccer commentator: 'Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've got
eleven Dicks on the field.'

9. Tennis commentator: 'One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is
that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses
them... Oh my God, what have I just said?'

The Stanley Cup came to my hometown on August 20, 08. I uploaded the news/ interview.
This my friend and his brother, wearing game worn jerseys. Paul MacLean on the left donated the jerseys he once wore many years ago.

East Grand Lake Pics

I'm posting from the Land of Cleves, hanging with the in-laws...

These pics are from the ten days we had at the lake 8th-18th...

Kevlar hung for a few days...

And he left some those crappy Clamato drinks in the fridge...

I polished off the beer he left though... no surprises there...

Those pics of me and Kev are for our upcoming album, tentatively titled On The Patch

Internet here is in and out... fantasy teams may suffer... not that that matters to the Shiretowners... looking at high draft picks next spring though...

I'll be here til the 26th...

Starting school the 28th...

And I got a wicked new haircut (not shown)...

All the best to our loyal readers... AJ, Karlemagne, Red A, Bread Machine, Ton Sugar and Nat Man... think that's everybody...

Kevlar Belly Flop

No tractors today.

Last week we were lucky enough to host his Kayness at the lake.

This was his 2nd trip to western NB.

He treated us to a wicked belly flop.




a refresher from 2004

never be late for school again

Okay so it's not a tractor but I think Kevlar would approve.

World's Fastest Tractor

Tractor Week

Kevlar visited us at the lake in NB last week. Pics forthcoming...

He's into watching tractor videos like this one -
