Or Slab-rollers too I imagine, or as long as the Slabs do
not need to be too 'wide'.

My old "Maytag - Mdl. A" had the power driven wringer and
the transmission with the shift-lever over to the side, and
would put the big-time squeeze on about anything as was
introduced to it. I allways insisted to my girlfriend (at
the time, and to whom Nature had been...well, generous
maybe,) that she keep that matter in mind.

I did...

Damn! That is fast...!

Handles too? Or Handle Stew...?

Good! I will need them to band up them 'big' Orders for
Common Carrier Haulin' on 'pallets' and so on...a
"Yellow-Freight" truck will be idlein' in the Parkin' lot
with the driver reading an old 1934 copy of "The Bendix Air
Brake Story" I will have lent him, you know, to get in good
and all...so he knows I care...


> i get 10 percent.

I already sent it! - having taken a wild guess in advance,
but hmmmmm, maybe I got yer address dislexy'd...better check
yer neighbor's Mail Bozes for a while..it might look like
anything too, so open it all up till ye find it...if I sent
too much, then well, let them little cutie-pie Tick-Babys
know that the week's chow is from their distant pal and
admirer in the Mojave. I think 'Purrreeeeeena' still makes
them hundred pound sacks of 'Tick Chow' (with the quick-pull
stitchin' on the end) but they do not advertise it much
anymore...you got to special order it from the factory or
the regional distributor.

Like the ones as been a-droopin' up Yellowstone way?

Ohhhhhh...that is a sad tale there...maybe think of a
different name...I am getting depressed now...


> we hate buffalo.

Try a different approach to them! -you'll warm right up to
'em! Respect their sensibilities!

Ya need to sneak up to them quiet-like, and tweak their
horn's bases, good-n-hard too, right where the little tufts
bloom...they find that very amuseing! Especially in the
dark...and right as a big storm is brewing - that's the
best...wait for that first big close bolt of lightening and
make yer move right then...and yell "Yippee!" right as you
do it. You'll see...

Try it!

They will snort and winnie with delight...!


Yours,

As ever,

Thats not funny Phil, it actually happened to my Mother ,
large with child she got her shirt tail caught up with the
wet clothes and actually burned the skin right off those engorged mamos.
She had the fotitude to pull the full washer over and away from the wall
so the plug would disconnect and stop her torture.
I was the 4 year old who went running to the neighbors with
the pleas to help get Mom's t-- out of the ringer.
She describes the incident with graphic detail to this day, I can give you
her phone # if you doubt it. Of course she is 84 now and will talk for
hours
with anyone so be forewarned.

Is this what NCECA excitement does to you? Who thought I would be telling
stories of Mom's mammerys on Clayart.
To keep it on topic, we lived in Indiana at the time and there was a great
creek
on the farm that had wonderful clay. we would often use it for wrapping
whole
corn on the cob and baking potatoes for roasting in the fire.
Wish I knew how to throw then, wonder if it was any good.
I am going to NCECA !!!!!!!!, a homecoming for me, I was born in Indy.
