okay-----i know darn well there's a thread elsewhere where we can let everybody know what we been readin' lately, but here's a book i ran across but did not purchase, for the simple reasson that the price is more than i'd pay for any bookk! unless, of course it was an author-autographed copy of "In cOLD bLOOD". i might consider paying $20, for thatt. Ha. It was edited out of the draft of the book, but Dickk's last words were: "what's all the fuss about ?---they were just farmers!" yup. but yeah---now garden city, ks is better known as home to one a the largest meat-packing plants in the country! yup. so anyway----here's a biography for you kids(see photo).Attachment 5813Attachment 5813Attachment 5813Attachment 5813Attachment 5813Attachment 5813Attachment 5813Attachment 5813
Nobody's Fool by Richard Russo is one of my very favorite books.
TYVM, RR. but yeah---soon as i find a cheap copy from illwill or whatever on ebay, i'll get one. the quick bio i read said he ended up in a home for mentals after his longtime manager passed, but did not like it. so, someone else got him out of there, and put him back in show biz, (so to speak) where he was more comfortable. interesting. yup.Quote:

And, she wasn't helping him with his homework, either. Ha. (see photo). What is it with those kinda gals? Why don't they give Meee a call, every so often? I'm legal. Yup.

okay----you kids are plolly sitting there wondering how i'm doing on my projects & stuff. well---okay--my van steering column was perfectly good & was the one thing that didn't need work but guess what? it wasn't a "tilt" column. so yeah---i went back to my parts warehouse and retrieved a tilt column i've had stored since about 2009, but turns out it needed some repairs; it is very loose. so, last fall, i went ta the wreckin' yard where the van from up north that is VERY rusty was, and pulled the column out of it. so anyway---that column had a nice dee-luxe-type steering wheel with it, but had an issue with something making a scraping noise when you'd turn the weel. so yeah----it needed work.. so, i disassembled them both to use the good parts on one & see what was wrong. I ended up going ta the wreckin' yard to scavenge more parts, especially the stalks for the tilt and the turn signal & wipers. they were lying on the floor of a pickup that some other custom had torn apart the collumn to get some bits and pieces, of i don't know what manya the customers don't know jack about actually fixing anything; they just ruin stuff at the wreckin' yard. anyway---i got stymied on the column, while reassembling it in the house garage during the dead o' winter. but when it warmed up, i took it outside in broad daylight while wearing reading glasses, i determined that the column from the wreckin' yard had that scraping sound because evidently, someone had previously "fixed" it, but assembled it WRONG. okay---got that straighted out. so anyway----got the overhead lights in one room of my backyard cottage installed. now, to do the others. what needs to happen is for us to have extended clear weather instead od like living in Florida w/swampland. Yup. You won't see me visiting there. Nope. Hope that helps you some.
okay-----it's been raining and raining and raining. yeah sure===it stops for awhile, then resumes raining. see? one o' my cats
(moomee)stayed outside overnight, because I gave up tryinta get her in, while the other one ran inside, mo problem. but yeah---this morning, 7:30 am, there she was on the porch, half-drenched, looking like a housecat that got left out in the rain, when i know darn well she has hiding spots to stay dry. so anyway---i opened a can o' num-nums cat food and got her in to the laundry room, where she has stayed in bed all day, resting and getting dried out. yup. hope that hlps you kids some. thankk mee.
okay=====they had tornado sirens or whatever you call 'em, but they have stopped. but, 35 years o' livin at this location has taught me that hey----that don't mean you won't get hit with a wind that is silent but destructive. You might sleep through it, and find a tree down in your yard! yup. anyway, hopin' for the best, as i've got enough stuff to get caught up on. thankk mee.
Glad to hear you are making progress on your projects.
