Mundane Thoughts or Comments

I live in dread of the eventual "Shut up and eat your boiled sprouts, Dad" conversation.

That's "broiled", not "boiled". Real men don't eat boiled sprouts, only broiled sprouts. Broiling Brussels sprouts beats boiling Brussels sprouts, big time.

Been gloomy and cloudy and dark for the last 4 days here. Rained a day ago. They say more tomorrow. Fine with me. I'm sick of shoveling sunshine..... for real.

Just for you:



Yeah, stomp all over it with your boots, baby.

Santa blew me off....

You'd break a leg on that thing anyway!

Yes, dear!

I want to ride the LA to Vegas desert run in November. A pipe dream I suppose.

Go for it! Because if not now, then when?

Anyone else catch the irony that the official video for "I'm Walking On Sunshine" filmed almost all of the outdoor scenes on dreary, gloomy gray days?

Ok, I have to tell an embarrassing story about that song.

I was recently moved out of my parents house, in an apartment with a friend from work. We had full time jobs and were working on a " sand rail " with an older guy we met through another worker. We found an old Super Beetle and a sand rail frame and removed the engine and suspension to build the thing. The song above was pretty popular at the time, in the mid 80s. One evening we get a call on the phone at our apartment from a pair of girls saying they saw us in a club and we started talking. At some point the song started playing at either the girls place or on the radio at our place and the girls asked if we might sing along. I look at my room mate and he kinda' nods a yes. Hey how often to girls call you up on the phone, right? We we give it a go. I don't recall how the phone call ends but we found out a short time later that the two girls were really two girls about 12 years old and were the daughters of the guy helping us with the sand rail build and they found our number on the counter at their house. I don't sing for strange girls on the phone anymore.

Here's a sand rail like we built.

Saw and photographed this on the way to work a couple of years ago at the foot of the Ben Franklin bridge. A broken down dino on the way to the shop:



And for you Ferrari fans, wrong Dino.

That sand rail would work well in the dunes here on Lake Michigan!

Nobody is going to catch up to you anytime soon... or at all!

You could say that about Elon Musk too, but it doesn't slow him down.
