Morning guys....it is still morning isn't it?
Pretty chilly this morning, 18 but up to 32 now. Boy Gris, we should could use that rain you're getting, drier than a popcorn fart here. 40s for highs for the foreseeable future. I had a clock doctor here this morning. The clock I built a couple years back, got finicky and wouldn't run. The doc came in and checked several things out and determined that the hands weren't adjusted properly and it was causing the clock to stop. As he was explaining the issue, I realized he was absolutely dead on in his diagnosis. I explained to him that made perfect sense, since the clock would stop at almost the same exact minute every time. He told me I could add about a pound of weight to the center weight and it would have probably worked through it, but he adjusted the hands and told me to keep an eye on it, but he was confident that the hand adjustment was the problem. I've ordered lead shot to add to the center weight, as he said the pendulum I had really needs a little more weight than it has. Going out to the shop now to spray a couple coats of finish on the tables. Church a little later, then over to #2s house for supper after the City's Christmas parade. |

How do you get to be an old man? Living one day at a time. I'm feeling my age more and more everyday.

A little early but enjoy.
'Twas the night before Christmas And in the garage. There wasn't a trace of a Ford or Dodge. The presents were wrapped and the lights were all lit, So I figured I'd go mess with my Corvette for a bit. I popped the release and I lifted the hood, When a deep voice behind me said "Looks pretty good." Well as you can imagine, I turned mighty quick, And there by my workbench, stood good Ol' Saint Nick! He just stared at first, not sure what to say, Then Santa piped in "Don't suppose you'd trade that for my sleigh?' "Forget it, Mr. Claus" then I started to grin "If you've got some time we could go for a spin!" His round little mouth, all tied up like a bow, Burst into a smile when he said "C'mon then, Let's GO!!" So as not to disturb all my neighbours' retreat, We pushed my old Stingray quietly onto the street. Then, taking our places to drift down the hill, I turned on the key, then let the clutch spill. The sound erupted and took Santa by surprise, But he liked it a lot, by the look in his eyes. With cold tires spinning and exhaust pipes aglow, We headed on out to roads hot rodders go. And Santa's grin widened, approaching his ears, With every shift up as I went through the gears. Then he yelled "Can't recall when I've felt so alive!" So I backed off the gas and said "Do you wanna drive?" Ol' Santa was stunned when I gave him the keys, As he walked past the headlights he shook at the knees! Then the big block exploded with raspy exhaust sound! Santa let out the clutch as the tires tore up the ground. Power shift into second, again into third! I grabbed for the handle, at loss for a word. With the tank reaching empty, Santa returned to his sleigh, Never to forget that ride in my '69 Stingray Later, I heard him exclaim, as he blasted from sight, "Merry Christmas, to all, it's been a great night!!!" |
