OT November Chit Chat

[Howie]

Thanks Cat. I go there quite a bit, and like using them instead of going out to buy something. I think my last buy was a coffee maker. And I like getting their email updates telling you where your delivery is.

Here's a little anecdote:

An ant crawled up on the kitchen counter, and I decided to ask a question I'd been wondering about for a while."You guys are always working and you never take sick days. Why is that?"

"Oh," the ant replied, "We never get sick. We have little anty bodies."

[Howie]

What's that strange sound? It sounds like the whole forum let out a loud groan!

[SalpalSally]

LOLOLolOl!!!

Well, I'm in for the day. I went to CVS to pick up the refill I called in this morning. Then picked up the crate full of tools, and parts to freshen up Pinky. I turned the key just to let the fuel injection pump the fresh gas I got last week.

Then turned the key to start it, and nothing! I look at the voltage gauge, and it was reading 10 volts. It should be 12. So I hooked up the battery charger, and will let it run for the weekend, and try starting it again next week.

So that's bad news, but I have some good news. I FOUND MY SHOE!!! There it was, just sitting beside a front tire. How I missed it before, I don't know. I guess I was just really tired. Either that, or.........SAM!!!

Howie found his shoe!

[agate]

Whew! Of course it was Sam. Howie just wouldn't have left it there.

[Howie]

It was strange. I walked through the garage several times, and even got down and looked under the car, and never saw it. And now that I found the shoe, I can't find Sam.

Hope you're not serious about that. Could Sam have transformed herself into your shoe?

[Howie]

Who knows what tricky scheme that girl has come up with THIS time to trick her poor cat daddy?

I went out and put the BIG battery charger on Pinky. That should get it charged, and I'll check on it tomorrow. It has a gauge built into the charger that tells you how it is, and automatically cuts back to a trickle charge once it's fully charged.

I hope I haven't killed that battery. It was a new Diehard which is a good battery.

Howie, we tried to tell you the shoe was there - well, all of us I think except Ann who thought it was in the dump.

[agate]

Did anyone guess right?

[stillstANNding]

It was at the dump, Virginia, I could see it there in my mind. It must have walked back.

Real Hungarian paprika goes well on so many things but is especially good on onions. Brussels sprouts too. I'm such a fan of this type of paprika that I'm always raving about it.

It has real flavor, unlike the ordinary paprika, but it needs to be kept fresh. And it's such a gorgeous color.

Yes!i love it too.

Also love Ceylon Cinnamon. Stuff in stores is Cassia cinnamon and it's not real cinnamon AND it's banned from baked goods in some European countries. Little known fact

[Howie]

It's kind of a mystery. I had cleaned the garage out, swept it out, nothing on the floor but the bottoms of Pinky's four tires. I walked through I think twice looking for it. And if you saw it where it was, you would wonder how in the world I didn't see it before.

I saw it as soon as the door was pulled up. I didn't even have to take a step inside. Too weird!!!
