Hobo Jungle
Wayne, Death Valley has shown (shone) me a few mystery as well.
Jon, had a great talk with DB. I think the future might bode well. Thanks for your input.
Is San okay? Is it the garage door or the weather?
Lads, ladettes, may I buy the next round?

That a life will be spent gaining inches,

Hotdamn. 51 degrees today, s'posed to be about 57 by Tues. Sure is a hell of a lot better than that 10 and 13 shit, with highs in the 20s.
Where were you all weekend, Jon. Didja have the Duty?

Mitch, duty all weekend and straight back to work in the morning!!! The beers taste great!!! I came home to the wife cooking up fried catfish, hush puppies, french fries, and cole slaw!!! Also a new "jungle" member should be showing up around Wednesday! 
Stay tuned!!!!! 
Stay tuned!!!!! Running that red block Charlie.
I've ate catfish in truckstops in the South. Those are the farm raised ones. I've ate them from the French River in Ontario, I've ate them from the Allegheny River here at home, and some from the Allegheny River that were kept in a fresh water spring for a week, before we cleaned and ate 'em, and I've come to the conclusion that I don't care for catfish.
On the other hand, a few nice walleye fillets along with the chips and puppies would make my day.
And some ice cold beer!
So what's up with a new Hobo comin'? TOP SECRET???

We are very wet. But nothing more serious than that. Others in the area have faired worse and I will be organizing some help from work in the morning.
5 Hardie sprinkler valve/anti-siphon units replaced with Irritrol units, rewired and tested. Encased in new thermoplastic utility box. Check. (As if we need sprinklers right now).
3 garage door opener worm gear assemblies replaced, lubed, and adjusted. Check. (Two busted, one replaced as preventative maintenance; plastic gear dust everywhere). Thanks, Jon. I can now return the new Chamberlain opener I received for Christmas. Grrrr.
Damnit. The middle door (rollup, wood and glass), snapped a cable. Now I have to call a real garage door guy. Thank God the cable didn't hit anybody or the garage trains. Had to cut the cable and untangle the mess on the pulley to even get the door down. And that sucker is heavy when unbalanced by the cable/spring tension. I had so hoped I was done with this.
Ah, well. What doesn't kill you strengthens you.

San, glad you dodged the 2nd bullet.
I got this next report, and in the interest of hiding the identity and preserving the confidentiality of the 6'4" mechanic-hobo from western Pennsylvania, I won't mention his name...
__________________
A husband and wife came for counseling after 30+ years of marriage.
When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a passionate,
painful tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the 30+ years
they had been married. She went on and on and on: neglect, lack of
intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable... an
entire laundry list of unmet needs she had endured over the course of
their marriage.
Finally, after allowing the wife to go on for a sufficient length of
time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and, after asking
the wife to stand, embraced and kissed her passionately. The woman
shut up and quietly sat down as though in a daze. The therapist turned
to the husband and said, 'This is what your wife needs at least three
times a week. Can you do this?'
The husband thought for a moment and replied, 'Well, I can drop her off
here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I fish.
