Chef eMoist at the grill – which of course was strapped into the back of the M35A2. There is certian resemblance to Chef Paul Prudome, don’t cha think?

Happy Birthday, eMost!

Posted in Uncategorized on 22.01.07

HBD!

These other events happened on your date of birth, and may provide some celebration suggestions or other guidance on this, a most auspicious day. I realize that the connection might be somewhat cloaked, or obscure, even. So to move towards clarity, I have taken the liberty of suggesting the kernels of knowledge and guidance in bold.

Jan. 22
1905 – Bloody Sunday in St. Petersburg, beginning of the 1905 revolution. (Cause a commotion – history teaches us that everything turns out OK in the end!)

1952 – The first commercial jet plane, the BOAC’s Comet, is put into service. (Have a [jet] blast. Eh! Get it? Have a blast? **** ** never mind. Next!)

1968 – The TV sketch comedy Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In debuts on NBC. (If someone offers you a drink, just reply, “SOCKITTOME!”)

2002 – Kmart Corp becomes the largest retailer in American history to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. (As it turns out your friends were right and your mom was wrong. People that wear clothes from K Mart are dorks. The Law of Economics supports this. Therefore – if your friends tell you that you should go ahead and have that 14th shot of JagerMeister, go ahead – clearly they know best.)

2003 – Last successful contact with the spacecraft Pioneer 10, one of the most distant man-made objects. (Sometimes losing touch with reality is a good thing. It means you are able to reach out and explore the unknown. Either that or aliens have abducted you to make you a lawn ornament.)

Details

I am getting down to the finer details on the M35A2.

This week saw the completion of the seat rebuild. I had a friend weld the original “Observer Seat” (passenger) in place, and I re bolstered and recovered both seats!

On the plus side

Posted in Uncategorized on 16.01.07

The occupation situation, as all do, has it’s ups and downs-perhaps mine are somewhat more uncommon because of who I work for . . . . .

This afternoon will be one of the “ups.” I am being paid to go boating.

I’ll snap some pictures of the lovely Hillsborough River and share.

Good Times

Posted in Uncategorized on 10.01.07

It started out as a couple of friends gathering at Hooters one afternoon. But there was a table of really, really loud females in flannel in close proximity – so we moved the party to my patio.

The usual suspects:

Floyd the BBQ King

eMost – the pirate king

Gecko and the Jen.

So we all piled into the deuce (the ultimate grocery getter) and headed to Publix to get grilling supplies.

We also had a couple of drinks – which prompted a game of Catch Phrase. (And that is Big Perm on the left)

Some of us had more than a couple of drinks.

Yeah, many more than a couple of drinks.

At any rate we are going to do it all over again – probably this Friday – call me if you want to come!
