    Jerry Clower, the Mouth of the Mississippi!

    He had one about Coon Huntin', where Marcel Ledbetter clumb up attair tree to shake out a Coon.

    'Twarn't no Coon.

    'Twas a Wild Cat and him and attair cat got into it and he's squallin' "Shoot! Shoot!" and his huntin' partner hollers up "I cain't shoot, I maht hit yew!"

    Marcel hollers back, "Then shoot up here amongst us, one of us gots to have some relief!"


    ‘Tweren’t Marcel, it was John Eubanks, professional tree climber and great American. When he poked the coon he found out it was a lynx. Or as they called ‘em, “a souped up wildcat!”

     


    It has brought tears to my eyes and pain to my ribs laughing many times since I was a kid!

     

    Marcel went at the beer joint with his talking chainsaw!

    new euphemism encountered today

     

    Mysterious Russian Death Syndrome

     

     

     

     

     

     

    We've called it "the Russian Flu" since the days of Brezhnev.

     

    More recently, people I know have taken to calling it "gravity."

  3. A great actor and director. He will be missed. My father-in-law was a huge fan of The Sting and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Kinda turned me into a fan. Come to think of it, I can't think of a movie of his that I've seen that I didn't like.

  4. I can remember the events of that day almost as if they had happened yesterday, and they still have the ability to haunt me. My heart ached as it never had before as I watched the events unfold, but, with all the hatred and division I am seeing in our country of late, and our willingness to attack and to kill one another, and with people I know and respect lashing out, and others dying by their own hand, I am more fearful for our future than I ever was on that day.

  5. Well, the good news is the permanent bridge is in place. I can at least eat my frustrations away with this flooring project! We discovered some rotten sub flooring by one of our patio doors. Now I know I'm in over my head, but no budget to have a professional in. We'll figure it out, though.

    If you don't have the rubber hammering blocks and metal extensoin cleats for seating laminate flooring at room edges, go down to HFT and buy their $15 kit.  Everything is there.  You cannot seat laminate adjacent to walls together properly without the clears, because there is no room for a hammer swing.  

     

    I have everything I need in that regard, it's just been a long process. Thanks, though!

  7. So far the process has been slower than molasses in winter. Cutting for the various shapes around doors, vents, stairs and whatnot. At this point, we should start making some progress, but all I have to say is

     

     

    Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor, not a carpenter!

     ..... what did you have for breakfast ?  😱

     

    Bob's Red Barn Muesli. Mostly oats with slivered almonds and the like. I add blueberries and strawberries. I have been trying to eat on the other side, but it is generally soft, so I wasn't paying too much attention, then bit down on something hard. Seed, or I don't know what. Heard and felt the cracking sound.

    Does the flooring require a kicker / angle nailer?  Hate dental work, I'd have to procrastinate by doing the floor.  We have something that is probabl;y similar, it has been very durable despite many large sets of dog claws over 15 years.

     

    No, it is the snap in place type, theoretically.

    Oh, and I said crown, I meant bridge. It broke in the middle, and moves slightly but seems to be staying in place. I will be calling my dentist first thing in the morning.

  10. AB and I are getting ready to tear up carpet downstairs and lay down laminate wood flooring. I will try to check back in to let everyone know I am surviving.

     

    The day started out ominously though, with my temporary crown bridge cracking while I was having breakfast. It is staying on, but it is definitely broken.

     

    Did I mention wish me luck?
