Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for April 09, 2014

One of a kind. I think it’s a cross between a barbeque and a cement mixer.

Walter got tired of Mildred’s negativity, so we welded himself a companion more to his liking.

Bev…. who’s Barney?

And did you see my last posts to you on the previous…er…. block?

2Old…. that guy looks awfully familiar.

No, not the one in greasy blue.

I think Walter will not be humming quite so smugly when he has to beg Mildred to help him get out of his contraption.

Getting in was a puzzle he enjoyed solving…getting out again is something he hadn’t planned very carefully..He should have enlisted Kevin, next door.

It requires stretching muscles he hasn’t used in several years in directions they’ve probably never gone anyway.

And that’s after several hours of putting all of his weight on only part of his thighs, sitting in a circular metal band, with his now-numb feet dangling.

Ow.

BTW I never had a chance to answer a few things yesterday, and I feel remiss….

so before I say goodnight…..

Bev… thanks for the ear plugs, and the heads up.

Mr. Ramblebonikins, the manager, gave me a super bargain! I said I’d buy 5 of the 6 for $35 special offers, if he’d sweeten the pot just a little…so he marked the whole thing down to $179 (25 packages of 5!) and threw in an extra package free!

And pcolli… I meant to tell you that with bread from all our usual wholesalers, plus my bakery next door, I think we can accommodate any sort of special needs and desires….(Ok, well, in this crowd I have to make it clear…I mean the needs and desires having to do with bread for sandwiches at the Tiki, anyway.)

I think Walter’s building his own iron lung.

My canary started singing this morning at 5:30.What a lovely way to start the day. : )

; ) The welding class has done wonders for Walter’s self-esteem…

Walter is one who begs teh anser to lifes biggest question…“Wuts more fun than a barrel of munkys??”

Walter’s Jealousy Simulator.

Hope he doesn’t get the bright idea to go over Niagra Falls in it.

“The Welding Gelding” – I love that!

My father switched from woodworking to welding as a hobby.He never produced anything useful again…

Right you are, Ess!

Walter does all of my custom welding now that he’s passed his final exams.

(I just wish he hadn’t accidently welded the driver’s side door shut……)

Oh.

So….you’re saying that….umm….that you agree with him?

That’s either you, being guilty as charged…..OR, you’re hinting that I’m probably as bad a driver as Sheldon……OR both.

That takes care of right angles…… how about the other options. Up / Down?

“So where do I go from here…??….”++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

You should do OK as long as you’re not headed for Brussels.

Or maybe…

Cinema time!
