Thanks.

Last Saturday here the high was mid 70s. It was awesome. Today they are predicting 105 degree heat index. It ain't no fun outside.

Currently it is 61 out. The predicted high and I kid you not is 64. By Friday we are to be back in the 70's and 80's by next week.

Hopefully the rains up there get over to the forest fires and help put those out. That is just so devastating for so many houses burn. At least only one person is reported dead. It is so ironic that 41 people die from mudslides in the same year the forest fires destroy such a large area.

I suspect this fall and winter we will have some big grass fires around here. The rains have been enough to keep everything green and growing now. All that green stuff will dry out and become fuel for the fires.

The rain is not expected to reach much of the East side. Yeah next winter is going to be tuff on the landscape around here. They are saying its possible that it will be a dry winter if not I bet there are more landslides.

Good afternoon all.

Wonder what the Farmer's Almanac says about the weather trends.

My Dad planted, fertilized, and watered his vegetable garden by it.

Marine Corps Rules:
1. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.
2. Decide to be aggressive enough, quickly enough.
3. Have a plan.
4. Have a back-up plan, because the first one probably won't work.
5. Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet * even your friends…
6. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun whose caliber does not start with a "4."
7. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.
8. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral & diagonal preferred.)
9. Use cover or concealment as much as possible.
10. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.
11. Always cheat; always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
12. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.
13. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating your intention to shoot.


Navy SEAL's Rules:
1. Look very cool in sunglasses.
2. Kill every living thing within view.
3. Adjust speedo.
4. Check hair in mirror.

2. Locate individuals requiring killing.

US Army Rules:
1. Curse bitterly when receiving operational order.
2. Make sure there is extra ammo and extra coffee.
3. Curse bitterly.
4. Curse bitterly.
5. Do not listen to 2nd LT's; it can get you killed.
6. Curse bitterly.


US Air Force Rules:
1. Have a cocktail.
2. Adjust temperature on air-conditioner.
3. See what's on HBO.
4. Ask "what is a gunfight?"
5. Request more funding from Congress with a "killer" Power Point presentation.
6. Wine & dine 'key' Congressmen, invite DOD & defense industry executives.
7. Receive funding, set up new command and assemble assets.
8. Declare the assets "strategic" and never deploy them operationally.
9. Hurry to make 13:45 tee-time.
10. Make sure the base is as far as possible from the conflict but close enough to have tax exemption.

2. Drink Coffee.
3. Deploy Marines

I missed my afternoon nap because a customer ordered a print form a 14 year old photo of OU stadium. It was done back in the olden days of the darkroom and photographic prints. I dug out the negative and it was shot on some Agfa color negative stock 2.25 x 2.34 inch film. It has a funky color negative base that our aerial film scanner does not like. Aerial film is almost all clear-base so it was a pain to scan. It is amazing how far digital photography has come for the hand held cameras. It was shot with an professional level camera but our current digital 35mm size camera can beat the old film hands down.

Welp, time to go home.

Evening Y'all,
Well we have a new guy at work in the shipping dept and we have named him H.L.S. which is short for hook, line and sinker. We are doing a test to determine just how deep the river of stupid actually is and thus far we have not hit the bottom. It started out harmlessly enough but has gotten way over the top. I will break down the things we have told him, that he believes into a list.
1. Muffler bearing. This is a small fan like unit in the muffler that starts to spin with the exiting exhaust and uses inertia and momentum to maintain a spin during idle to help the exiting exhaust gasses and promotes not only more power at an idle but increases mileage.
2. I installed a stutter valve in the Boxster. This is an electronically controlled mechanical valve that reduced engine compression in the event of a mechanical over-rev
3. My son has installed a hygroscopic regeneration pump on his over built Volvo. This device takes moisture out of the air and compresses it into a liquid to inject into the induction system for a cooler denser fuel charge.
4. Sidewinder bullets. I have a whole case of these and they are fun to shoot. They are essentially a wad cutter that is halved on the open end. Between the twist of the barrel and the oblong shape they fly in a corkscrew manner allowing them to be shot around trees and other objects.
5. Red hair reflects heat. Our parts manager died red streaks in her hair before she went on a long weekend at the beach so that she wouldn't get burned. This might hold some truth since no one has ever seen a natural redhead with a tan.
6. We use steam to remove the material from the backing when doing headliners. We were out of steam one day and sent him to the local hardware to pick us up 5gal. of steam. That was declined by the big boss as he was headed out the door to get it.
7. The color yellow will soon be outlawed as a color allowed for public use. The light spectrum that reflects off of yellow has been shown to do retina damage in the long term.
Tomorrow we will inform him of the newly mandated alphabet that goes into effect in 2016, which will include the greek symbol "omega"
I figured this bunch would have fun with this, feel free to add any ideas you may have, I am running out fast, my brain can't stay at this level for too many days.

Oh I left out spring water. Since a spring won't freeze the water is good to use as a replacement for antifreeze

We convinced a guy at work the gophers in his back yard were venomous and breakfast sausage and bacon is not made of pork. We did the later because he said doesn't eat pork only because he doesn't like it not because of religion. They are made from a special breed of cow that is really fat, you see them all the time they are black and white. Oh yeah, and all the ethanol made from corn is going to make bacon and breakfast sausage a lot more expensive because they are using up the corn that they feed to the black and white cows to fatten them up right before slaughter.

The kalecoauto.com web site, they list muffler bearings, blinker fluid, cross drilled brake lines, spark plug wire cleaner, elbow grease, piston return springs, etc. Oh and seasonal tire air, radiator insulator, left handed metric screwdriver, and wiper blade sharpener.

Don't forget to send him out for a 'long weight' and to get some 'striped paint'




My older sister believed that the Italians were employed in Oz banana fields primarily to bend the bananas as they ripened. We had fun with that one for a long time.
