'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
