'TURBO ASSEMBLER by Borland' was a helpful read

I needed to know and write "Assembly", so as to understand the higher languages such as "Ansi C", "C++", "Visual Basic", and Yes "Java" for all you Java Freaks. How's that for mundane Monday?

Tee Hee Titter smirk smirk smirk.

If I could be in any band, I'd join The Band

The Band (Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko, Garth Hudson, Levon Helm, Richard Manuel) were perfect

My task would be to leave my instruments home

Don’t sing no matter how moved I might be

And

Be sweet and tender with the leftover groupies

Pink Floyd: Reflections and Echoes

A 2 disc history of the Floyd from roughly 1967 through their Live 8 performance.. Could have had a little more music. Could have had a little more actual interview, instead of audio gleaned from already produced radio. Perhaps that is what passes for video journalism. But oh well I'm not in the producing business. My Pink Floyd music and video libraries are quite full enough that if I have any complaints... Gee just switch off and do something else.





I do have a very small life, eh wot!?

Roger Waters

The lyrics from Pink Floyd's' Animals including



You’ve got to be trusted by the people you lied to



You’ve got to be able to pick up the easy meat with your eyes closed



And in the end you fly down south

  Hide your head in the sand

  Just another sad old man

  Dying of cancer alone

Liver testing by Southwest Airlines

The vast majority of my life I’ve been a mechanic of one sort or another.

The number one reason for mechanics is that machines fail.\

Why would I get in an aluminum cigar and venture to 32,000 feet?

When I raced the team was so glad that one member didn’t fly.

They all could.

They slept comfy whilst I slept in the tow vehicle.

September 20th 1993 my wife came home and said her employer gave her two routes.

Company was moving to Scottsdale.

     A. Be unemployed

     B. Move to Scottsdale with a 11,000 raise.

Being foolish she took the 11 grand!

She further told me that in two weeks we had to fly down and find lodging.

I told her I was holding out for terminal illness before flying.

That there was a large possibility that when the plane lifted off, I’d still be in the bar.

Bars open early in Reno.

Well I discovered that if ya stay up all night and have 4 shots before going down The Plank

A white knuckle flyer could pull it off.

After moving to Scottsdale I took a contract in Sacramento, which required commute via Southwest Airlines Friday and Sunday evenings for two years.

Antacome

So lied!

48 years of vocational traveling has left me a home body.

What's to say.

I found Michigan to be Michigan last week.

Very little is as it was when I was small.

At 7 my family was to Germany, France, Norway, Denmark and England.

Oops I lied again, I was 7 & 8 in the post war Europe.

Spoiled little govt employee bratt.

My father never worked at home except when he was a hack.

Mom made him take a portion of the tribe whenst working away.

7 continents in my time in the navy.

Canada US and Mexico while racing.

16 cities, 9 states whilst programming.



Through it all I've been way too immature to really enjoy most of it.

Oops

Didn't feel guilty till someone said guilty

And I'm not Catholic, Mormon, Jewish or any of those hold my face to the floor life threatening, mind threatening, population control paradigms.



That said!



Have no memory of how this got started, but...

For twenty+ years when we head of to work

the VHS recorder goes on

and

after dinner my wife and I

watch,

anguish,

cuss at,

enjoy,

and

wonder how we got hooked on

The Young and the Restless

Don't think it had a name

July 17 1980 I was coming off of a 2 year drunken period of self discovery. I was sort of working out a time of getting used to be single again. Two weeks before I’d met a woman at a company picnic/camp out. I called her up and asked if she’d like to go for a ride. I lashed two bags onto the bike and off we went for a few days. She’d never been on a bike ride. We twisted up and down the Sierra and the adjacent White mountains. One evening we were really beat and just pulled off the road and flopped the bags and zonked immediately. When the sun came up we found ourselves looking off of an especially advantageous promontory, with a view of a valley that dropped 4-5000’ and spread till the detail of the land failed our eyes.



As a motorcycle racer living on peanut butter and cold 19 hamburgers I’d spent a lot of time on the road. As a contract programmer I spent more time on the road in 29-300 a night rooms. That dawn on the cliff is on my list of top ten wake up calls.

Got a beer to spare?

Everything I need to know will reveal itself in good time.

A spare beer would be nice on a Saturday night.

A good pick wouldn't be bad either.

Might be Could be Nice to meet you

To some extent the quest is slanted if it’s.

Male?

Or

Female?



Are they putting their best foot forward, or are they being truthful.

There’s an ocean between the two concepts.

On one hand they are seeking and the other they are just open.

Of course if it’s a woman and she is presenting, it’s difficult to stay on coarse.

In all cases if it is a social setting my agenda is always can I find a comfort level.

On the other hand if it’s business, cut to the chase and get it done.

On the third hand if the meeting is a contest of any sort, try to asses their strengths, whilst trying to mask mine.

Nuthin

Nuthin
Nuthin, nuthin good god say it again nuthin!

Can I get a witness...

Oh yeh did mention nuthin?

However I could be wrong

I have you know been wrong two three times

Perhaps not wrong, just mistaken

Maybe in a hundred years people will be even stranger than today and some remaining item will surface and be deemed invaluable.

Nahhhh

I'm stickin wif nuthin

Chef please teach me

I can't think of anything in particular that I crave.

Much to my wifes' delight I do 90% of the cookin here at the homestead.

Sometimes we combine to prepare a dinner for friends.

I really love fish, have maybe 60 fish recipes I repeat yearly.

When I was on the road as a consultant I enjoyed going into a restaurant and tell the wait person bring me dinner, bring me wine, what should I have.



I so enjoy cooking...

I'd as soon have a chef come in and teach me something I've not had and that's a stretch. If it's meant to be eaten, I'm there. Chef Boyardee stretches my tolerance. But sometimes crap in a can is just the thing.

If I look down and see pants of any kind and shoes that match

Good God I Done It

My bar tender and bar patrons don't care

He was no good to the core

He was no good to the core
He thought people should treat each other humanely no matter the personal cost..

Taking care of the other mans' health isn't socialism nor communistic, it's humanity at its' best.

C'mon Americans speak up for goodness.

or

at least order another round.

Lets start arresting sober drivers
If you check the statistics more vehicular death and maiming happens at the wheel of sober drivers.

He hated the homeless
And elderly.

If we are unwilling to care for and insure that the less fortunate and less competent enjoy the same quality of life that we do.

Let's classify them as third world persons and then we do to them as we will.

Bomb them, sell them bad food, sell them really bad pesticides.

Sell em the high nicotine ciggs we can't peddle here

It's a whole new market.

What did I hear someone murmuring, "hey we found another pinko hiding amongst us", call Joe McCarthy's ghost, quick, no wait make that Chaney, he just got a new battery.



Gotta call a cabinet maker my soap box just broke



Picture of her working on it at 11:00p.m.

He thought churches should be taxed
Because, just because it never hurts to speak poorly of the dead!

Then and There

Obviously:

We all missed out on our



Conception

Birth



Why didn't they go bowling that night?

Was affection still a factor?



Why was I born in a hotel room in Idaho city and not a hospital?

Was water boiled, or was it just spittoon swill from the saloon downstairs?

Shoulda ast them there questions before they died!

Johny come lately.
