Doc, You're right, us folks from the Pacific NW are real friendly. We also know how to party right too. If you got around any of them rodeo cowboys after the rodeo, you would of been in the middle of one hell of a party. Go check out the computer companies in Beaverton, Aloha, Hillsboro, etc, around...
They decided not to work us this weekend, so I get to play. I like the fairs, ours is in three weeks. It's OK, probably will put one car in the parade. Our car club has been invited to put on a car show the first night, Styx will be playing, so I may do it this year, since I probably won't be workin...
Doc, thought you were going to stay a little longer and enjoy the West coast. Maybe you should take a drive to the Pacific Ocean and breathe some of that nice ocean salt air. You plan on going home next week, fly or drive? I got a pretty full plate the next couple of weeks, not sure we can get toget...
Doc, glad to hear that you're enjoying the Wild Wild West. You're only 4.5 hours away from me. I'll probably be down that way in October. Are you going to do some selling down there or change the type of work you do? You see the 1928 Ford Model A that I bought last week? Got some work to do, trying ...
I've worked at many places that prefer college grads over very experienced canidates and it doesn't work. I have a degree, but I also earned mine while I was working in the field I am in today. I've also learned that the best way to learn something is to listen to my craftsman and not be a wise ass ...
Doing better today, finally got some much need sleep that I haven't had for over a week. Went to Spokane yesterday, took a couch to daughter, did the swap meet, brought two grandkids home for the week, and topped theevening off with a trip to WalMart for food and entertainment. Put together a basket...
Sharon, was near your place on the way home. When I left Newport, left very early and hauled ass home. Would of called, forgot to bring phone numbers and nobody could connect with their wi-fi, no access to any of my e-mail accounts, which had the numbers. Had a good time until Monday evening, when m...
This morning, took my cats to the vet and got them all booster shots. They said there shouldn't a problem. Then this evening, my cat brought the bat in the house again. This time, I got a broom from WalMart and some sticky fly paper. Put the fly paper on the broom, put the broom against the curtains...
It was hilarious, just had to be there to see it. I've worked all over the country, mainly at nuclear plants, construction and operating, not much I haven't seen. So it takes something out of the ordinary to get my attention. I'd never seen this before. But I have many stories from my travels, some ...
Sharon, it was an accident and it was bad, he didn't know she was behind him. Now if you were in a radiological zone, all dressed up, hot and sweaty, uncomfortable, and gotta rip one. There is no way you're gonna go undress and get redressed just to go rip one off. I've been in radiological zones wh...
Thought I would share something, it's either funny or disgusting. You all know I work in the nuclear industry and get all dressed up in "anti-contamination" clothing and most of the time have to wear respriatory protection. For that respiratory protection, we wear a PAPR (powered air purifying respi...
Happy Father's Day to you too, Tommy. That's pretty funny about the toilet flushing expert. Doc, here's an e-mail I got from a girl this morning, about hurricanes. I thought it was hilarious and wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't true. Subject: Hurricane Names Well, it appears our African American f...
Morning Sharon. Gorgous day over here, may see a cloud or two. Will have a big party/BBQ over here around 4:00pm. Had my daughter clean house Thursday to work off her debt, but got a little freshening up to do. Spent a couple of days in Dayton, need to unpack and put a few things away. I might even ...
Thank you Doc, will do that. After I posted my question to you, had another cup of coffee, I thought it would be a great time to update my website. I've got two out of 11 folders done. But meanwhile, will use the other site so I can let others see immediately. Thank you and don't work too hard. JR :...
Yeah Sharon, washing them bugs off can be a real chore. Drove back from the car show, yesterday evening when all the bugs were out. It wasn't as bad as it was 2 years ago. 2 years ago, so many bugs, the front half of the yellow car was almost all black from the bugs. Couldn't see out the windshield ...
Doc, Don't worry about them airplanes, aint nuthin' to it these days. I didn't care too much for flying, but in the last six years, the planes ride have been real smooth and comfy. After you see the Spruce Goose, need to take a drive to Tillamook. Stop and get some Tillamook cheese and other dairy s...
Doc, if you were on I-84 and went through Pendleton and by Umatilla, Oregon and the Army Depot (where they have chemical weapons), you were about 40 miles south of my house.
I never got no personal e-mail from Meg, for any of my accounts. There has been stuff said and written about paying for the net and it won't happen. There would have to be a lot of time, money, and effort to set up a multiple tier internet. I also have yet to see any internet provider guarrantee the...
Hi Sharon, glad to see you back. Hope you had a great time. Phoenix is my favorite big city. I lived in that area in 1985, while working at the Palo Verde Nuclear plants. I could be taking off for work somewhere, for a few months or may just take a few months off, before we're ready to complete the ...
That is one rough day you had Doc. I had to deal with a bunch of idiot management types today. And with that said, I have to work tomorrow, really burned out. RS, Flagstaff is nothing like PA, it's more like the western part of the states, Oregon, Northern California, and WA state. It's really nice ...
eBay Express? I took a tour through it and didn't find any bargains there. Looked at computers, hardware, and software, the prices were the same or higher than I can buy locally or the merchandise was outdated. What is the purpose of eBay Express? Doc, five out the door in one day and a deposit on a...
Doc, that cowboy must of been from Southern Arizona. Go north towwards Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon, you'll see plenty of green and during the winter, snow. Most of the home owners yards consist of tan rock, with palm trees. If they do grow grass, it's the type of grass they use on the greens at g...
salez, I had a 2002 Nissan Altima, every two months a sensor would take a dump, the interior was cheap and wore poorly, the brakes never worked right, all was covered by warranty, but could never get it fixed correctly. I couldn't wait to unload that car when the warranty was about to expire. I thou...
They had the "Smokin' Joe's Burn Out & Hot Chili Contest last weekend in Goldendale, WA. They were allowed to do burnouts down Main Street, as long as they didn't go over 20mph. I was told it was really cool, lots of tire smoke and cars fishtailing. Maybe I'll catch it next year. This little town ha...
eBay seems to have gone in a different direction in the last year. I used to be able to find all sorts of stuff for my cars, but all I see is overpriced foreign made reproduction parts. The cars I like, pre-49, are also overpriced. I think too many people have watched the Barrett-Jackson auctions an...
We have two places in WA state that require vehicle emmision checks, Seattle and Spokane. My oldest daughter lives in Spokane, so all of her vehicles are titled in my city and her drivers license list my home for her address. I think the emmsion checks are a scam, just another way for the state and ...
