Love the Viking stuff. I recently did ancestry DNA and found out I have Viking blood but also from Spain and Portugal as well as Germany, England and Native American. Cool stuff. I didn’t know all that.....

PS And don’t forget Wales

Went to see my locksmith Friend this morning about the OLD lock.

Turns out to be an obsolete 6-cut GM lock to operate a rear window for a Blazer or something.
It is a somewhat normal lock with a "sidebar" that engages an electric motor to raise or lower the rear window.
The tail piece though has electrical connections to power the window raise/lower function.

OK.
So I first drill a small hole in the lock housing, in EXACTLY the right spot above the sidebar, to access the sidebar to put pressure on it and rake the 6 wafers until the sidebar drops allowing the plug to turn.
Once the plug turns, I pulled a small brass shaft out of the back and the plug drops into my hand.
I said, "What next, Boss?
He said, " I have to install a new ignition and I want your lock to work with the new ignition lock key."

I said, "You got it, Brother!"
I removed the retaining cover of the lock plug to access the 6 wafers, removed the old springs and wafers and rebuilt the plug to use the new key with new wafers and springs.
I then lubed it up with white lithium grease, inserted the plug and tested the new key in the cylinder.
Slick as a whistle!

Then we reinstalled the dust cover, a new face cap, installed the rear electrical "tailpiece" section and we were done!
He said, "Scotty has magic in his fingers!"
I then said, "Test me in demolitions."

------
Yesterday, as I was collecting "Vest Money" from the guards at work to turn in to Administration,
(There is a policy that all truck drivers MUST have a safety vest. If not, we sell them at $10 each. There are three guard shacks..."Freezer," "Refrigerated" and "Dry" docks.)
The Guard at the Freezer Warehouse shack said that a key was broken off in the lock of the guard shack.

He asked if I could help him...

I smiled and said, "Boss, you are talking to the right person!"

So, I removed the lock cylinder and pushed the broken key out from the backside.
He had only one more key for the shack...
I reinstalled the cylinder and checked to make sure that it was still functional with his remaining key.
I said, "Give me the head of the broken key because it has the cuts stamped on it for me to make a new key."
I cut a new key, by code, and then duplicated it and will deliver them on Monday.



I left my locksmith Friend today, after a hug, and said,
"Still waiting for you to holler at me about that cookout! I got alligator tail meat now!"

Y'all be good!

Was told yesterday, in confidence, that I soon will be named Maintenance Shop Supervisor.
After only one year on the job....

You didn't hear it from me....

Scott

I am glad that someone recognizes what I am about and what America's Veterans can bring to the table!

Do I Know about locks, forklifts and jacks?

Yeah, try me....

We are currently island hopping. I threw the anchor up on land. My 8 y/o grandson started screaming “ Grampa, Grampa, I found an anchor.” I said “ well Gilligan I got some good news...... that’s our anchor”

I know the answer to RC's query.
Therefore, I disqualify myself.

No need to disqualify yourself.
You'd be winning it from me technically.
And relieve me of running a game!

Sometimes life will give you a kick in the nuts.

And sometimes life will give you an easy day.

Today is what you make of life, Dig?
Cover your nuts....

Back, 30 years ago, I woke and played this every day to start my day.

Some had their plan for the day but, I always had my plan and won. Dig?

Yeah!

Let me tell the story....
Who wants to hear it?

And some 40 years ago, I rode a new Yamaha XS1100, stolen from the showroom floor at 130 MPH on a back road in Kansas with my first wife as a passenger.
The law knocked at my door the next morning.

I admitted to nothing and only lost about 10-15 pot plants....
I did not steal the bike, but I know who did....
The Cops knew who it was and I said, "When you find him, tell him he owes me for rent!"

I have the prize in hand.
Together, we will discern the winner...
Perhaps an old Spanish coin will encourage the guesses...
Yes, I'll throw in a Spanish coin from before you or anyone you know were born!
Ah what the hell! I'll make it 2 old Spanish coins!
RC has final say....

You want a story...
You want to be entertained...
You want my story..
You got it....


I was living in my car. Parked close to a VA facility in Wichita, Kansas....
I was hired for a temp job. Replacing computer work stations.
I was staged in a non used section of the facility, that of an unused "senior" section.

The section had a nurses station and all needed for a unit....

Any which, I arrived every morning to perform my task of replacing the different stations computers.
My area to assemble the desk units was the unused area of the VA.
I used the Nurses Station refrigerator for my lunch and was known to be in the area for efforts.

Well, when the day was done and I "left,"
I went to my car and waited until dark.
I then re-entered, using my locksmith skill.
I used the refridgerator for my dinner, showered and slept in the beds in the unit.
Secuirity came around and I soon learned their schedule and hid when they were making their rounds....

In the morning, I woke before my scheduled arrival and clocked in on time.
I did this for quite awhile and was never caught.
In fact, I have a letter of reference attesting to my work....
