8-2-08 Saturday (Bald Cult)

Big day of little projects. Jim installed gutter drains, yes the RV has gutters (OK, maybe more like drip rails) built in and the drain will help to keep the water from just dripping down the sides.




We bought a great Electrolux 2 in 1 rechargeable vacuum. It's a stick broom, no wait it's a dust buster, wait it's both! How exciting indeed.Jim installed my new under counter mounted coffee maker. Wonderful. Brews right into a thermal carafe. Pretty, huh?

I cleaned the exterior windows (sorry, no picture, but just so you know, your screen is filthy). Jim installed some sewer vents on the roof top that have little wind mills to help exhaust the gases. I actually caulked in the kitchen (all by myself). Jim and I patched a previously poorly patch hole in the awning.

Later in the evening, BALD headed Laurie and Pearl, accompanied by full haired Nancy (Pearl's sister) came for dinner. As usual we had a blast.

We finished off the project day by going to the pool which was very warm. It wasn't refreshing until we got out and a breeze hit us.

  1. Too bad you didn't take pictures of everyone's head from behind, you could make a game of "Guess the Baldy". Did you discuss which head wax each of you preferred, and whether you buff right to left or front to back? I think at least one of you should get a tatoo on your head of three black circles. That way people could be reminded that they haven't been bowling in a while. Or maybe a 70's style smiley face so people walking behind you are cheered up. Plus, it might keep them from looking at your ass. Wait, maybe that's not what you want. You decide.

  3. Sorry about that last comment. After reading your post, my mind was in the Gutter. On the Gutters. Whatever.

  4. I wonder how many comments this thing will let me make... and whether you'll get tired of approving or denying them.

  5. Did you know that, although they don't use them for venting sewage gas, the Dutch have been employing Windmills for hundreds of years to pump water away from the land behind Dikes so that they can farm the land. (I said Dikes, not Dykes, so get your mind out of the gutter. You're finished with the gutters.) Many of these windmills also serve as homes for the farmers. The wooden shoes keep the feet dry when walking across soggy ground. They are individually made to fit each owner, and are actually quite comfortable. They are still worn today, although in addition to the traditional wood new materials are now being used like plastic and acrylic. Wooden shoes remain among the most popular tourist items for sale .

  6. The first awning was invented by an out of work cobbler in 1643 around the small town of Bremen, in present day Germany. The first awning patch was invented shortly there after due to an unfortunate slip of the knife during construction. "Three-fingered Pete," as he was affectionately known, also invented the duct tape. Unfortunately it wasn't a big hit until Ducts were invented 45 years later.

  7. Sewer gas is mostly methane, which highly combustible. Methane is produced in abundance by rotting garbage in landfills, and is actually collected by some Waste Management companies and sold for various industrial purposes. Methane is also a greenhouse gas and contributes to Global Warming. The largest producer of Methane gas, collectively, is the cow. During the heyday of cattle ranching in the U.S. Millions of cows roamed the American west, which scientists believed began the current crisis of global warming. It isn't clear if the methane produced come primarily from the cow patty itself, or from the prodigious farting associated with eating grass. You try eating grass and see what it does to you...
