Which becomes pretty obvious the first time you try driving your WWII vintage Power Wagon up a long grade in a snowstorm only to figure out your gloved hand does a better job removing snow by reaching out the open driver's window than does that damn vacuum wiper motor running 'full blast'. Sheesh.
19) I was wading in the edge of a stream fishing in Alaska once and hooked a nice size salmon. I started fighting him and moving downstream along the bank for quite a while when he broke the line and got away. I looked around and I was standing in a little area on the edge that had fish skeletons and bear tracks all over the place. I sort of eased on out of there.
#7 - Yep, whenever I eat crabs or lobsters - and it ain't often - I always think that I'm eating giant sea bugs. Give me enough melted butter though and I'll eat anything!
Gawd how I loathe anything with a QR code. The world has gone app crazy. Yesterday I spent 20 minutes or more having my family, guests and me enter an order on a menu in a restaurant. Got to the point where I had to scan the QR code with the table number, the last thing in the app in order to place the freaking order. IT. DID. NOT. WORK. * screaming ensued * Nice 50-ish lady at the counter took the order and said she also prefers "old school".
If you carry a fine point black Sharpie marker with you and place just a small extra dot or two on the QR code it will render it unreadable. So I have been told, by a friend.
Lost our in-house internet three time this summer, the last being caused by the water company digging and replacing a water-line. The bad part is it has happened every on Friday. So it has been Monday before the technician can visit.
Last two times we lost the internet. Farmer bush-hogged the post that contained the fiber connections a couple of houses up the valley. Then some other farmers were clearing a drainage canal with a track hoe and snagged the fiber bundle. When they figured it out and backed up, they ran over the pole carrying the electrical wires. No phone/network, no power, no water. They did not think it was their responsibility to call the utility companies. And my cell phone only sometimes works on my front porch if I have a clear line of sight to the water tower and it ain't too humid.
#7. Sea going cockroaches. Tasty.
ReplyDeleteNah, bugs just need salt to make them taste good.
DeleteMaybe try some Old Bay on them.

And, like distributor vacuum advance mechanisms, some people just plain suck.
ReplyDeleteI apologize, but may i please use this? Perfection.
DeleteVacuum operated wipers also suck...

DeleteAnne: Please, have at it. And no apologies necessary.
DeleteI still have my dwell meter and timing light.
DeleteSave them. You never know when the Chinese will drop that EMP bomb, and the only vehicles available will be from the 1970's.
DeletePretty confident my 92 7.3 IDI is up to task RE EMPs.

ReplyDeleteI don’t understand how NASA can talk to astronauts on the moon but I lose wi-fi connection in the guest room.
ReplyDeleteCall Houston, tell them you have a problem...

ReplyDeleteI'm curious. Who was the first motherfucker to pick up a lobster and think "this looks like food."
ReplyDeleteRetard.

ReplyDeleteI don't even know how a QR Code works.

DeleteThe more you know.

DeleteScan a QR code on my cellphone to read the menu? Funk dat. If the place does not have "analog" menus, I take my "digital" business elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteRe Distributor … what’s the point…(points)..??
