CRISPINS CRITTERS

And, tomorrow is just another day for me.
Water the forklift and jack batteries.
Find and repair the "write-ups" of equipment.
Drive wheels, load wheels, casters, ad nauseum....

One day I'll retire.
Sell all of my goods, buy a travel van and go where I've never been.
See things I've yet to see.
Perhaps come to see YOU!
Where ever I park, that will be my home for the night.....

But, until then, I guess that I'll change out jack tires,
Drive wheels and plan my "Retirement Escape."


Today, a fellow came in to work on the computers.
He had total white hair and looked haggard....
We got to talking and I said, "Surely I'm older than you.
Well, come to find out, I was older than he was. By 6 days.

I later asked Kipp, "Who do you think was older?"

He said, "Oh, Buddy was older than you by at least 5-6 years."
I smiled as I thought to myself, "Yeah, Scotty takes care of himself."
(Must be the premium cigars and finest Scotch....:dontknow:)

Most folks can't believe that I'm almost 60 years old.....

And then Kipp said, "I heard this today as I was driving in to work and thought of you...."
As he dialed it up on his phone music to play for me.
He asked if I know the group....
REALLY?



And, I sang along


I then said,
"Sitting and staring out of the hotel window...."

And then said the next few lyrics.
He couldn't name the song....

Sheesh! Children!
Obviously not a "Dead Head."
But, I'll give him a pass. He wasn't even born then!



Reached #64 in 1971.


Best,

Scot

Truckin' like the doodah man
Once told me "Gotta play your hand
Sometimes the cards ain't worth a dime
If you don't lay them down"

Sometimes the lights all shining on me
Other times I can barely see
Lately it occurs to me
What a long strange trip it's been

What in the world ever became of sweet Jane? (note 1)
She lost her sparkle you know she isn't the same
Living on reds and vitamin C and cocaine
All her friends can say is ain't it a shame

Truckin' up to Buffalo
Been thinking you got to mellow slow
Takes time, you pick a place to go
Just keep truckin' on

Sitting and staring out of the hotel window. Got a tip they're gonna kick the door in again.
Like to get some sleep before I travel
But if you got a warrant I guess you're gonna come in

Busted down on Bourbon Street
Set up like a bowling pin
Knocked down, it gets to wearing thin
They just won't let you be

You're sick of hanging around, you'd like to travel
Get tired of travelling you want to settle down
I guess they can't revoke your soul for trying
Get out of the door, light out and look all around

Sometimes the lights all shining on me
Other times I can barely see
Lately it occurs to me
What a long strange trip it's been

Truckin' I'm a going home
Whoa, whoa, baby, back where I belong
Back home, sit down and patch my bones
And get back truckin' on

Why haven't aliens visited our solar system?

They looked at the reviews and we only have one star.

You’re welcome Uncle Bill. It rained like crazy but we went anyway. The mermaids wanted the boys to take a picture with them. Only the 12 y/o did...... I would’ve got in trouble !!!! There was a lot of great food and even a band there. I liked it. I think the boys did too. The man in white had a “dragon “ on his shoulder. He said around the corner was his 2 headed dragon...... the 8 y/o went looking for it!
 

Dang ... Uncle Bill is making me hungry.
2G.F. making me want to pillage.
Must be a way to combine the two.....

Been cleaning a well used 1977 Coleman 220 J lantern.
Picked it up for a pittance after passing a worse one a while back.
A very devout model 200 A fan but.....Happened upon a handled reflector and it needed a home. (Tricky huh?)

A 1958 200A has a long history with me and many ,many ,many, hours of use for many reasons. From deer camps ,to fishing many places ,spearing suckers , camping in Florida and Canada and other states, lighting a former pole-barn by means of a rope reel rigged to a big reflector near the roof , decades of use ice fishing (and keeping me from freezing while doing so), power outages , and more....

Near becoming a teenager , I asked what is it (that old 200A) sitting on a beam in the garage? Stepdad said "if you fix it ,you can have it." And I did! Still do. (have it ,and fix it).

Have four other 200's now. Two running condition and parts on order to fix one or more of the other two. Though one has a corroded fount. It may remain a parts lantern.

A 425E stove still remains and earned it's keep long ago. Besides adventures away from home (whatever home is , in this case houses), it served duty in my first homestead for weeks before a "real" stove was acquired.

The stuff a guy drags around in life huh? l.o.l..
Gotta have some things , I guess.

Joke of the day— Did you hear about the ancient Egyptian man that launched a successful stone quarry business?

Turns out it was a pyramid scheme all along.
