Yesterday I got a lot of views of a short story I posted many years ago. I titled it 

MENSA BOY
And you can find it here:

Enjoy it if you like.

FUN AND GAMES

I have worked in a warehouse and we had a lot of tricks like that for tasks we performed regularly.  And you should have seen me on a forklift.

My first wife was a concert pianist. We once went to a party where a guy had an accordion. She got 5 or so minutes of instruction then played it like she had been doing it her whole life.
^^A4^^

So I found this key at work last night,  around 8:00. Being the good Samaritan I am, I called the number. Turns out this guy's ex-wife made about a hundred of these keys and put his number on it, and scattered them around the country on her road trip. He is now getting calls 24/7 because of it. I don't know what he did to deserve this, but this is some fucking nuclear level revenge.

It has always amazed me that young people think they invented sex and that grandma is an old fuddy-duddy who only did it missionary style and only to have children.
 I assure you, you young people invented nothing.

This couple has tried every move you ever dreamed of...

Even more perfect for my present isolation.

 Did you notice how steady is the aircraft carrier? 

Speaking of...

That was the final fly-off event of the tomcat. USS Theodore Roosevelt has just completed a successful cruise in the gulf and is offloading its airwing prior to its return home. This was also the last deployment with F-14s. This video is the beginning of a launch event, showing the ability of the Nimitz-class carrier to launch 3 planes simultaneously...more or less.

Did you know that you can tell the year of a VW Bug by the size of the back window and the taillights? They both got bigger every year. That looks a mid to early 50s model.

It's called a swaging spin tool.
Brilliant!  A little flux, heat, and solder, and you got a joint that will never leak.

I have dreamed of complete plots for novels I have written. Last night I dreamed this and my wife thought I should post it.

Family Reunion Dream
The wife and I took a smelly ferry to the island where a reunion was scheduled for our extended family including aunts and uncles and cousins I haven't seen in sixty years. My wife had packed far too many bags and I worked up a sweat lugging them off the ferry and down the long pier.
Upon setting foot on land my sister rushed up and said, "Y'all are the last ones here. We didn't think you would make it so we gave away your room and you will have to take what's left."
I mumble whatever and followed her to a stand-alone bathroom. She opened the door and there was a single mattress wedged between the tub and the toilet in one direction and under the sink to the door in the other.
My sister began, "I'm sorry..."
But my wife interrupted her with, "Oh, it will be fine. We probably won't spend much time in there anyway."
After my sister departed my wife organized the bags in the tub and all our toiletries on and in the sink. I sat on the side of the tup while my wife made the bed with the linen we had brought with us as best she could.
My wife was working up a sweat trying to clean the filth off of the walls, floor, and sink with wads moistened toilet paper when I said, "It can't get any worse than this."
Then the toilet paper roll ran out and there wasn't a refill insight. I nodded and said, "Okay, NOW it can't get any worse."
There were sharp raps to the door and when my wife opened it there was a line of men. The first man said, "There are only two restrooms on the island and yours is designated 'Men's'.
I stuck my head out and could see the ferry chugging its way across the lade. I asked for a minute and the wife and I reentered.
"We can't just leave our luggage in here if god knows who is going to be coming and going all day and night."
So, we lugged all our shit to the water's edge and sat on it.
I said, "It can't possibly get any worse than this."
Then it started raining.

A1- I passed my Forklift test in 2016 but never got to work on any in a Job. I ABSOLUTELY Love how accurate and powerful they are. We trained on Battery-operated machines. Are the Gas and Petrol machines as accurate and precise as them?!?! I've only driven Battery-ops! :)

Ralph Henry said...

Ha! My "training" lasted about five seconds and went something like this "It's just like a car." I loved how it would raise, go forward and tilt all at the same time and, of course, turn on a dime. Mine was propane powered and I will never forget that smell.
