"He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever." - Chinese Proverb


I now realize why I was so unproductive yesterday. It was so that after today things would average out.

Rewrote my sermon this morning. Hope this version works because the last one stunk.
From there out to work on the car for an hour. I'm getting truly tired of scraping, wire-brushing and grinding crud off the chassis. The special paint should arrive tomorrow but I don't think I'll be ready to apply it for another two or three days. I'm trying to be just this side of a perfectionist so that I'm 100% happy with the results. Another few hours spent cleaning nooks and crevices of old crud will pay dividends in the end. Right??

did some very simple electrical work at the Kinneys' before noon. Hayes is too cute. I understand he can misbehave but that grin....

From there to J & A's new old house for an afternoon of FUN hanging drywall. They took the kitchen down to the studs and redid all the electrical, including new can lights. Josh rented a lift and we got the ceiling pieces up, then I started taping while he & Aubri worked on the walls. I ran out of steam a little after 5:30 with just a little taping left to be done on the ceiling. They were still working on hanging the rest of the walls when I left.
I'm getting old.

How long does it take to get this good?
RC Helicopter
I think the military needs this guy. I see him up on a hill working his helicopter into an Al Queda compound. He works this copter in and out, buzzes their heads, basically freezing them in place. Then, after they've been mesmerized into paralysis he flies it right up to the face of the leader and...
pop, pop, pop
triple-taps him in the forehead then buzzes off into the hills. The rest of the guys mess their pants and sign up for cooking classes.

Where we live, if you're behind a driver doing 5 mph under the speed limit there's a 98% chance they're one of the following:

  • An old person (we have lots of those here)
  • An illegal alien (they do NOT want to get pulled over)
  • Someone talking on their cell phone (brains incapable of multitasking)
You can usually tell which one of those it is by the vehicle they're driving. Eliminate the first two (handicap plates or beater) and you've got the third.
