CRISPINS CRITTERS

Scotty: I had Shrimp Ramen for lunch today.

2GF: I like the fact that you can have a regular metal detector and convert it into a two box system. The two box works great, but you can only use it in the meddle on nowhere, it is that sensitive. I think I had one if every detector Garret made, along with a few Fishers and a White. They all went with Hurricane Katrina, along with a lot of stuff I had found.
 

Happy Birthday America!!!! Hey do they have a 4th of July in Canada?
 

Joke of the day — An old sea captain was sitting on a bench near the wharf when a young man walked up and sat down. The young man had spiked hair and each spike was a different colour … green, red, orange, blue, and yellow.

After a while the young man noticed that the captain was staring at him.

“What’s the matter old timer, never done anything wild in your life?”

The old captain replied, “Got drunk once and married a parrot. I was just wondering if you were my son!”
 

I’m bored — A blind guy on a bar stool shouts to the bartender, "Wanna hear a blonde joke?" In a hushed voice, the guy next to him says, “Before you tell that joke, you should know something. Our bartender is blonde, the bouncer is blonde. I’m a six foot tall, 200 lb black belt. The guy sitting next to me is six foot two, weighs 225, and he’s a rugby player. The fella to your right is six foot five, pushing 300, and he’s a wrestler. Each one of us is blonde. Think about it, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke?" The blind guy says, “Nah, not if I’m gonna have to explain it five times."
 

I’m bored again. Stuck watching all the Rug Rats so........... Grampa taught the boys a new dance!!!

 

Haha she’s a nut. I got in trouble with her today. 2 pretty girls swam over to the edge of the pool and asked if they could pet my wiener. I said “ sure real fast.” I got slapped.......again
 

Joke of the day — After a recent college baseball game, the coach spotted a cell phone lying on the field. He picked it up and handed it to one of the umpires, saying, "Here's your phone."

"What makes you think it's mine?" the ref asked.

"Easy," the coach replied. "It says you missed 13 calls."
 

I would ask the question about 4th of July when I taught in college. Of course Canada has a 4th of July, but they don’t celebrate like we do!!!!!

I lived where that video was made, when I was in high school. Nuts N Flakes, Venice, Calif. looks like nothing has changed.

Johnny that’s toooooooooo funny!!!!! I had the 4, 7 and 12 y/o’s doing that dance. Oh was it funny. Now every time I say “. Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle yeah” they break into that dance! Hehe
 

Friends you will ALL be proud of me!!! My son picked up a Pit Bull at the humane society yesterday. He sent my wife a picture of an 8 y/o female miniature Dachshund there. Well you guys know I have one and she’s awesome. So last night my wife and I decided we are going a different direction in our lives. We are going to start a Dachshund Rescue!!!! No Dachshund will be in doggie jail for long......... so we were at the Humane Society when they opened the doors today. I was going to bring her home. She was sent home with her momma. Basically rescued by her owner. A fantastic outcome........my 12 y/o was looking forward to getting that Miniature Dachshund but it was a great outcome. Well from now on, we are going to search Humane Societies the state over and bring home any Dachshunds that go to doggie jail. When my son saw her he said she was trying to hide in her cell and was crying. Well I don’t know about you guys, but I’m a softie for Dachshunds.......

Lately I have been having health issues.

My feet and ankles are swollen and also my left hand.
The pain frequently makes going to work somedays very hard.
But, I perform my job and no one knows....
I am not a complainer.

I had an appointment scheduled at the VA a week or so ago but didn't go.
Perhaps I'm afraid of what they might say....

I got a letter from the VA yesterday to wit:

I guess I'll have to put on my "Big Boy Pants" and reschedule and GO.

I hope that they just say that I'm eating too much salt in my diet.....

Best Wishes to All,

Scott

Ya. Quit froggin around and go.
Left= heart side. On most folks anyways.
 

Spent an enjoyable morning yesterday with my Locksmith Friend at the shop.

He needed help with a lock that he didn't even know which blank to use.
It was a cam type lock that was from a gas pump.
That info didn't really help....
99% of cam locks use a Y-11 blank....

I soon found a blank that would fit and proceeded to remove the crimped face cap.
The blank that fit was a motorcycle key! A KW14. Kawasaki.

Once I removed the cap and pulled the plug, I noticed that the profile of the KW14 wasn't high enough to engage all of the wafers properly.
So I found a similar profile key that fit and DID engage the 5 wafers properly..
An HD74.
A Honda motorcycle key.

I then removed the wafers and springs, being careful to keep them in order, and used a sharpie on the key blank edge and inserted it into the plug. I then scratched the position of each wafer on the blank and reinserted the springs and wafers.
I then slowly and carefully made cuts at each wafer position on the key until all of the wafers were even with the plug.

An HD74 is a double-sided key which means that no matter how you insert it, it will turn the plug in the cylinder.
Once I had one side of the sharpie HD74 cut right, I put it on the duplicator and cut both sides of a fresh blank. Then I used that key to cut the other side of the sharpie blank.
Both keys worked slick!

I then re-assembled the lock, crimped the face cap back on and said, "This one's ready to go, Boss!"

We both caught up on the past and before I left, we agreed to have a cook out soon.

He asked what he owed me and I said,
"You have already paid me, Brother, in the time that we spent together today!" :notworthy:

Best,

Scott
