I told Deb in the hang out "It's time to Dance!!!!" Scott agreed, I think. Who Cares it's a weekend!!!! Party time! Anyone one up for some " Dixie Chicken"?

In my neck of the woods, we do this little thing called "The Chicken Dance" .. I vote for you folks producing a video and uploading it to YouTube .. here's how to do it ..

It is, in fact, Friday and I'm over due for some R & R .. so, I will likely leave the shop soon and visit an undisclosed locale for some company and a few libations, bringing a small stash of one's and five's with me ;) .. in the event the Spirits Move Me, I may knock on the Hang Out door, depending on the lateness of the hour and my ability to conduct myself in a Gentlemanly Way .. it has been some time, so I simply wanted to give Fair Warning .. ;) ..

Several days back, I shared an exchange of poignant messages with a Fellow Traveler of the "Geezers and Good Women" thread .. initially discussing a spot I know on the East Side of the Mississippi where I sometimes go with a lawnchair before sundown and just sit and watch the sun go down .. I shared a photo I took that evening, so I'll share it again here .. as the sun sets wherever any of you are, here is a little slice of the St Louis skyline ... I hope you like it ..

wait-- we're supposed to act gentlemanly in the hangout? uh oh...


the last time i saw the arch was over 40 years ago. as i recall it was the same evening light. it was memorable because the clutch on my '64 bug went out just as i spied the arch. made it back to cali without a clutch and drove it that way for another year to college.

thanks for the memory :)

Pokes head around the corner, says "Hi, I'm Willie .. for those of you that may remember, I sporadically maintain a recliner on the Back Porch .. although said recliner is obviously dumpster material in the eyes of some, others seem to not be bothered by it's age, decrepitude and generally worn look .. some things in life serve good purpose as a metaphor while doubling as a seating surface, and sometimes you have to kind of wiggle around a little to find just the right comfort zone .. ;)"

As the fog of last night drifts away in tendrils, I'm beginning to feel a tiny muse creep in, that is, if anyone is listening .. :eek:

That song made time slow down for me. I watched it for 56 seconds but it felt like 15 minutes. :)

Well, I did secretly embed a Tardis code in the accordion part .. but perhaps a lack of Polish blood caused a failure to launch .. ;)

i didn't even get that far. i went to the link, and there was nothing about a special price-- it just said $99, as usual. i figured it was because my browser already was logged into amazon, so i gave up.

ETA: my prime renews in a month or two
Mine too.

I haven't yet developed an appreciation for the accordion, or for polka and other music that I loosely call beer hall music. I think Lawrence Welk is to blame for my lack of appreciation of that genre.

And I've always been confused on our search patterns. Object are ALWAYS found in the last place you look so why not look there first?? :facepalm:
An effective refutation of that truth can be accomplished by continuing to look for something after you've already found it.

yay!!! Them pilots deserve a beer or 6 for that one!! Even if they are likely jerks the rest of the time! lol

I started out the pilot hitch right today. I walked in, looked at the lead pilot and said, 'IT LIVES!". His reply, "My first day back on hitch and you're already starting ''''ish. Hey, it's my job. Somebody has to do it!!

happy friday and TGIF :)

Pshaw!! It's just Tuesday for me. It's only the second day of a seven day work hitch. We've already got one grounded and I'll be unloading a transmission for a407 Bell Helicopter tonight, along with other various assorted materials that I ordered yesterday and didn't get last night. :evil:

I've been going to supper every night with my mechanics. It's been open season on Debra. Tonight I was in the middle of mechanics And pilots. Good thing I dont' take them seriously and have good sense of humor. I was getting it from all sides. I just can't take these guys anywhere!!
