Where Are You?…..

Where’s everybody?….. I know I’ve been attacked by the “Overload Bear”….. That’s an old “Bearing” joke….. Just can’t “Bear it”, but, that has no “Bearing” on what’s going on, etc., etc….. As you can see I don’t have much to say, but I plan to “try” (keyword) to say it more often than I have […]

Construction Projects…..

If your idea of a Construction Project is a bunch of Red-necked workers in hard hats with tool belts standing around whistling at passing women, here is some of the terminology I have to deal with in the bidding, construction, and completion of a typical modern Construction Project….. Activity: A discrete part of a project […]

Dylan’s comments on modern recordings

Football in Oregon…..

Not being a sports-nut to speak of, I didn’t even tune into the OU-Oregon game until after halftime, but I have to agree with friend of mine over the on-sides kick…… The question wasn’t whether an Oregon player had touched the football before it went 10 yards – The question was how does a Ref […]

CAMEL JOCULARITY

Recently, I received a warning regarding the use of the politically incorrect term “towel-heads”. We all need to be more sensitive in our choice of words. I was informed that the Islamic terrorists who hate our guts and want to kill us don’t like being called towel-heads, since the item they wear on their heads […]

Is Everyone a Self-centered S.O.B. these days?…..

……or am I just the only person who runs into them?…… I sold a piece of property a few years back…… The person I sold it to was a friend of a co-worker……. Seemed like a nice hard working person with limited resources, so I sold him the property on a payment plan spanning over […]

Johnny B. Goode?

MR, do you have a report for us on the Johnny Winter performance at the Bricktown Blues Fest? Unfortunately, I was unable to attend. Another one of those old age things, more than likely.
