Woke up to snow this morning.....and laundry. B-)

You remember DDT??? Wow... wouldn't it be grand to get DDT back into production... shucks I bet DDT could cure Malaria in Africa. I wonder how fire ants like DDT... Too bad the recipe isn't posted on the internet somewhere. http://www.junkscience.com/ddtfaq.html

They are FIXING the Micro Trains page again, supposedly to make it easier to negotiate, now you just need to know what someone else is thinking is easier, and then some pages don't open at all. ]:)

Barry, they also apologized for the "inconvience". Does that mean that I can "apologize" to the officer who gives me a speeding ticket and get off? News Flash: Bush has commuted "scooter" Libby's prison sentence. The guy basically is guilty but doesn't have to serve any time in jail. He was sentenced to 30 months in jail buy a jury of his peers. Isn't that wonderful! I voted for that assh@le too! Shame on me! Watch Bush give Libby a total pardon in his final days just like Clinton did for a whole bunch of his cronies in his final days. Politicians are the worst kind of crooks! There I go again.....

I told you that Bush was an @sshole! CJ]:)

[ginzokid]

As I said in my post above, Clinton pardoned a bunch of his cronies in his last days. Now The (B)...Witch (you know who)has the nerve to rail against Bush on the Libby deal? How Dare She!!!! I always knew she had brass ones...... ALL politicians are crooks!!! It's same here in Paradise too. Disgusting!

Hilary, does she wear boxers or brief's?????? That is what voters will have to vote on. Lou

Minor irritation. I waited a full month for the update to my NCE power pro, read the words carefully, and finally called Larry at NCE. He totally spaced my order but sent a new chip right away. Got it today and it is for the ProPower that Gene bought, the hand held starter system and not my Pro system. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Called Larry at NCE and he was very apologetic about the whole thing. Good customer relations. Sent the replacement out right away. Problem now arises. He wants the ProPower chip back. I don't have a problem with that except that it will cost me over $10 to ship it back in a padded envelope since it will have to go as a package since it will not fit through the slot in Canada Post's plastic measuring guide for letter mail. The chip cost me $15 US to begin with and now I will have to spend another $10+ to send the wrong one back. BTW, it cost him $0.83 to send it to me. Where is the justice? Should I ask him to repay me for the postage? I just wish that Canada and the US would agree on a reasonable postal system between the two countries. I'm tired of getting raped every time I want to send a letter or package to "our neighbors to the south". Horse hockey! B-)

[nascarpetlover]

Send it postage collect, attention Larry. With note saying returned per your request. Lou

[ginzokid]

Good idea Lou, but I'm just going to send a note inside the package. It's hard enough to get Canada Post to move any mail let alone expect them to do it for no money up front. The clerks would never be able to figure it out without the computer telling them what to do and charge. B-)

Rather than look for a better thread, I'll stick it here... in ref to Progress thread, I think I am gonna get beyond falling off the wagon and just get run over by it and take my liver for an all expense paid trip to my basement and then to a local watering hole before leaving to go to Sh ithole KOA campground of middle east. I don't expect people (expect for Pappa Pete and other vets in the groups) to make sense of this (nor am I an alcoholic either) I was just being funny) but you have no idea what can go thru my mind when in 30 days I am on a plane to middle east and spend some of it in Afghanistan. I'm not whining as my time in afghan is a heck of a lot shorter than real soldiers, but any day in a hostile world is not a good day. Anyhoo, my days in our other camp (in an undisclosed location is much better) been there with the Auroras in '03. It is almost paradise (aside from being in middle east) but it is shoppers' paradise. Time to go open more wine.. CIAO~

[ginzokid]

How long is your camping trip this time Dave? Write if you get work and let me know how the other project at home has worked out ;-). Watch out for the sand fleas.... B-)

[dl85vette]

off for a couple days and haven't gotten to the couplers for SD40-2. I would like to finish that engine and leave it at LHS for display model for sound, and bring home my undec GP38 so I can paint it...someday.

Went to specialist this am and had a tube inserted thru nose into the esophogus with a monitoring device. I feel like I'm choking on something.there is no way this thing is staying in for 24 hours. What a pain in the a-ss. Not literally but I would be willing to trade.
