Don't forget to hook up a light that tells those outside the bathroom someone is sitting on the toilet.

Armor plates arrive saturday....off to the range sunday....helping a local booze/cigars/spoons field agent figure out why he can't shoot for feces. Trucks back on the road....farking prop shaft ended up costing me almost 600 because I didn't have a core to send back...and the transmission case had a hairline crack I had welded....and the pan was pretty well mangled...

I guess that will leave just Azzy to shovel it. I hear he is handy at shoveling stuff.
 Good Thursday morning. Rick as a kid we went to Old Tuscon and it was a paradise for a kid that grew up in the late 50s and early 60s watching Black & White TV westerns. I am thinking it has changed a bit since then. I know I have. I am still a kid but I have facial hair now. We did not get a color TV until 1966.

Remember when we got color TV. Even though we had a color TV, I would go watch TV with the girl next door.

The first time I saw color TV was at a restaurant. It was a local Mexican food place that had a waiting area in the lobby. They bought a color TV and the show Flipper was on. I was amazed to see color TV. It was several more years before we got a color TV for home in 1966. It had a remote control and everything. The remote was a box with 4 tuning forks and a little hammer would strike the fork. We would come back home and often the TV had turned itself on because of some random noise in the house or on the street. You could jingle your keys and something random would happen to the TV. It would change the channel (there was just 3 channels) or turn it off most of the time with a key ring jingle.
Before that TV I was the remote. I hearr "Glen, change it to Chanel 5" or something like that since I was the youngest in the house. Most of the time we were outside playing.

The remote looked like this one. The "Space Command" remote.
 Remember all of this was BEFORE the test on the launchpad fire kills Apollo 1 astronauts Virgil "Gus" Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee.

Was over at a friends house. We were in his bedroom working on the brakes on his 10 speed bike. Didn't all 14 yo boys keep their 10 speed bikes in their bedroom? Anyway, I twirled a socket wrench holding it by the socket, click click click, and surprise the old TV in his room came on. While messing with the new found TV remote we noticed the garage door across the street was opening and closing along with the TV going on and off. Well, then we just had to ride our bikes around the neighborhood twirling the socket wrench seeing how many garage doors would open. There were seven.
We thought we might be able to mess with peoples TVs. So we tested and were disappointed the socket didn't turn the TV on and off from outside the room, let alone the house.

I don't remember not having a color TV. We did have a B&W in mom and dad's bedroom though. Now I don't watch much TV. Well, not Live TV anyway.

any fixes to nuisance barking? my one year old newfoundland/pyrenees ***** (female dog) cannot get it through her thick head (and it is very thick, both literally and figuratively) that barking at people in their backyards and passersby is not good behavior.

Shock therapy. Worked wonders for me. I hardly bark at all any more.
