Well, Kat, that could be arranged, but I'm sure Mr Kat might not be so kind and understanding. Yes, my life has had a couple set backs in the last 4 months, but I have found out that I have many good friends who will be there for me at a moment's notice. I am a lucky man, despite recent road blocks.Well folks... Guess what! Got a call from the bar. When they were moving of our tables to clean up last night, a leveler foot broke off. Mot of the feet are seized up from rust so this meant replacing the pedestal. I had 4 spare tables in my garage, so I took the pedestal off one and was carrying it out to the truck when I put my foot on something that made my placement off level. When I shifted my weight to my left foot, I snapped a bone. After a trip to the hospital, I am now wearing a boot that is supposed to immobilize the foot. Another 8 weeks of crutches is in my future.
I was just getting to where I could get around without the cane and was planning to ride the Harley to my last doctor visit Monday. Now, I have an ill fitting boot that gives less support than my shoe and makes walking more painful that walking bare foot. The worst part is that I'm back on pain medication. I am NOT a happy camper!

Ohhhhhh nooooooooooooo...............Ernie am I going to have to move in with you? You know I am just up the street....or across the road...or whatever. You've been a disaster lately!
I was raised with a loaded gun standing by the door. I have provided food for my family by shooting from inside the kitchen. I have defended my wife from a would-be rapist. I am completely comfortable around weapons and most people who carry or own them.I wasn't raised in a gun culture. We all seem to get along without thinking we're constantly in danger. Pop never kept guns and neither do I. I was not raised to think about being the hero gunslinger.I haven't had a drink in over 29 years. I assure you, I don't take the responsibility lightly. In my business, a firearm is essentially a necessity. I am armed so that I can defend my staff, my partners, clients and my property. Ask the guy who came at me reaching for a knife if my being armed made a difference.After a few frosty Beck's, the table cloth holder might fall into less than reliable hands. Better safe than sorry. I'll use a brick to prevent any linen calamities.Why? You realize that it won't jump up and bite you. It's holding the table clothe down against the breeze.I've never said no to a frosty bottle of Beck's nor a maduro wrapped stogie! Can we leave the pistol in the safe please?Should be a convenience store, not a government agency, donchathink?View attachment 136394

Thankfully, I was able to draw my weapon quickly enough that he thought better of bringing the proverbial knife to a gun fight. His hand came up slow and empty and he lived.
50 years, FIFTY YEARS, I've carried a firearm pretty much daily and I've drawn it from it's holster just once. There are 4 loaded handguns within 15 feet of where I sit. None of them has ever gone off by itself or taken a life. They are tools you hope you never need, not something to fear
It's likely you encounter armed citizens on a daily basis. The woman behind you at the grocery store might just have a .38 in her purse. The clerk at the gas station may have a .380 in the waistband of his pants. The guy in the suit with his eyes darting around the airplane cabin may be a sky marshal willing to die to keep you safe. Thank them all. They are far more likely to save your life than take it. I'm willing to bet you at some point are within 6 feet of a firearm every day you leave your home. You haven't been shot yet, have you?
In my town, guns have brought more tragedy than happiness. More death than glee. If it's all the same to you, Ernie, I'm not alright living on the set of a Dirty Harry movie. I know that some people feel safer around them. I just wish to God that they didn't have to be armed in order to feel secure. I think that's a pity.
I too was raised in a gun culture. Grew up hunting and shooting and it was considered a normal thing. As a teen we boys used to go down to the city dump and shoot rats with our .22s. A gun, in it's own right is not a dangerous thing. The person handling it controls what is done with it. Guns don't kill people. People kill people with the gun.
You're drinking with the wrong people if they're that unreliable.

We had some rain move through, nice winds so we opened the house up. The rain is gone and the wind died down so I just closed the house and turned on the A/C. Humidity never rose above 30% here at the house.Fairly low temps for us right now - 90 at our house but high humidity makes it feel a lot hotter--we're running 45 to 55% humidity today which is really high for us. And we're under a severe thunderstorm watch. Could be an interesting early evening but I sort of doubt it.
I did that when I started using cast iron skillets again, forgot the handle gets hot also...........Ouch, Ouchie, Ow, Ow!
I just burnt two of my fingertips on my left hand.
I went to take the trash out after a great 4th of July bratwurst dinner ,very interesting taste, close enough to pork bratwurst, but not as thick around as regular bratwurst
But I regress.
When I went to take it out, I noticed that Mr. P had dropped his cane next to the trike.
He has always had wood canes for 25 years, but got a fold up one for his bike. It's made of metal and has been out there since this morning in 100 degree heat, so...........
When I picked it up ta da! Did not even remember it was metal.
Good thing I'm right handed.

I was just using the internet weather numbers. We don't have any way to measure humidity here. Might ought to get one of those weather stations, huh.

Well folks... Guess what! Got a call from the bar. When they were moving of our tables to clean up last night, a leveler foot broke off. Mot of the feet are seized up from rust so this meant replacing the pedestal. I had 4 spare tables in my garage, so I took the pedestal off one and was carrying it out to the truck when I put my foot on something that made my placement off level. When I shifted my weight to my left foot, I snapped a bone. After a trip to the hospital, I am now wearing a boot that is supposed to immobilize the foot. Another 8 weeks of crutches is in my future.
I was just getting to where I could get around without the cane and was planning to ride the Harley to my last doctor visit Monday. Now, I have an ill fitting boot that gives less support than my shoe and makes walking more painful that walking bare foot. The worst part is that I'm back on pain medication. I am NOT a happy camper!
