christmas cheer & beer

Twist off caps are cool but I still pack a church key! comes in handy for opening the odd can of oil, or sea rats. We're going to have a white Christmas, with two inches of new snow, keeps all the ski bunny's happy. We went square dancing last night, what a hoot. Going to town in a little bit to pick up our fresh baked pies and take your mother shopping, made my day!!!!!!! Not doing much on project hot rod just gathering parts, have bucket seats, two chrome mufflers, and donor car for most of the rest of the part's.

Hope you all have a merry one and safe new year. May the new year bring you most of what you wish. (If you got it all, then you'ld never have anything to look forward to.) Looking forward to seeing you some time in the coming year and maybe having time to sit and visit.

We are going to Heather's house for Christmas eve dinner and again for Christmas day opening presents. The grandkids are all excited about Santa of course. (After all, this is what Christmas is all about.) Whitnee, the youngest at 8, checked out the presents here the other day, and was jazzed that hers was the biggest. (box size about 3 feet long.) She was bragging at first then thought to ask if it was "kitchen untensils". Long story short, the last present she picked out (biggest of course) was at a house party at a friends house and it wasn't such a prize, you guessed it, kitchen utensils! Cathy told her her present was really only 1 inch across, but it was in a box inside a box, inside a box, etc...She wasn't impressed. Kids are too smart these days. Lacey is 13 going on 21 and is at that stage in life where she knows it all. Nothing new there, and her answer to everything is "I know." Her mother was not allowed to leave the house with makeup on until high school. She was smart enough to put the crap on after she left for school and take it off before she got home. Lacey is in the 8th grade and Heather lets her wear eye makeup and helps her color her hair. Man has parenthood changed! We got her some makeup brushes for Christmas, may be it will help her do a better job of putting the crap on. I informed her that she looked like a french whore. Do I know how to make points or what?! Time for another beer and a little more cheer. Went over and looked at Rockie's new ride cool bike,looks real comfortable for them long putts. Ben watching the BSU game, I don't think a come back is going to happen ECU has BSU out classed. Them dudes need a steering wheel and some tire's that's where the real sport is. Bunch of Dumb ass people running around after some stupid ass ball with points on both end's what's up with that????? Gott go get a lotto ticket, then I'm taking the rest of the night off. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ramblin

Why is it , that when something minor goe's completely bug shit, thirty seven other things follows right along with it. I know it's not Murphy's law, or that shit just happens, it can't be just about life, and I have ruled out karma. I just don"t get IT. I don't expect any kind of an answer from any one or thing, but it sure makes you wonder! Oh by the way it can't be Murphy I wrapped him in duck tape!
Now this is karma, we were over at Mtn Home air Base at the Hospital, in line for flu shoots # 6 & 7 had been their for ever and it was getting late, so we turned in our #6 & 7 and went home. That was a friday, came down with a cold sunday!!!!! Just now getting over that crap.
New TV comes under subject of top ,??? O hell you know. any way , come to find out AKAI , TV name , dose not have any authorized repair place in southern ID. Called Sam's Club where we got it ,Talked to them about AKAI'S lack of places for warrenty work. So they said they would take it back, right on, right on, right on. Got new TV in back of Cath'y car , it's a VIZIO over at Heathers house cause Cathy is House and Kid sitting, damn no tv tonight, so here I am trying to type this ##$%$.
I am going to change the way people think about us native's of IDAHO, It goes like this, If you were birthed or otherwise hatched in this state of confusion. Your an IDAHODAN, cool , but if you were otherwise brough in from else where. You are a simple IDAHOAN, or worse, you will have to make up your own mind about that.
You can get your bumper sticker at the next cherry festival. To read, NATIVE IDAHODAN.

Drifting

It was so quit after Jim, Jordy and Donna left I had a ringing in my ear's. Even the dog's were looking lost. Along about bed time, I had to ask Cathy what day it was, some thing some where, made it feel just like a Monday. Ever had one of those? Or worse a T. G. I. F. and no beer.
It was reel nice today, so I went out to the shop, built a good hot fire, then went back in the house and played poker all after noon, damn computer's. Clay was supose to come out and work on his M/C but he's a no show.
Still no transmission for the 1965 ford that's in the shop, getting tired of weighting, was that the right word?Any way, If it don't show , it's out the door you go. Then i can start working on the engine for the 1956 Buick that's in the yard, the engine was rebuilt about 20 years ago and never started. It has to come apart and be cleaned up and all new gaskets. It sounds like a lot of work , but i'm doing this to earn the parts for the hot rod. If you get my drift.

turkey

we cooked this 26 lbs bird up side down, looked all wrinkled and well you know, but it was great. Berry pie and ice cream is better than pumpkin and cool whip. Jordy kicked butt on the poker table , took the biggest pot with four of a kind 5's. Off to bed, up at 7 taking Ma for a blood test. Made my day! cold out side frost on every thing. Gale set this up for me , so now im a blogger, don't know what that is for sure. Might need some help making this make sence if you get my drift. Found three life Magazines from 1941 man what cool stuff, every thing from tooth picks to cars, new ford 879.00 what a ride. Any body want any goldfish? Sorry can't help. I gotta stop drinking that Arrowhead mountain spring water, I think it's toooo pure. If you get my drift.

I have been thinking about this new hot rod project, Im finally going to get it out of the weeds. Been gathering parts and getting them ready to haul home. Take the body off the frame and do some work on it , fix , clean, and paint, make nice. I plan on keeping track of the build , so I will try for picture's and do up date's, don't know when or how much, depends on fan demand and viewer interest. Picture this, black with blue pearl, not a lot of chrome, low,wide, fast, and sound's like a hot rod! Turns heads and win's trophy's. Now if Icould just build it on TV.

My Newest HotRod Project


Here it is the latest adventure of my life. You too will be amused and amazed as to how I spend the next million dollars that I only dream about winning.
This is a 1929 Model A Coupe. That somebody oh so graciously chopped the backend off.
