Amazing New Discovery

Amazing new discovery just came to light. You know dried apple juce (left three days on the kitchen floor) makes a wonderful glue. it will rip the tiles right off the floor when you walk on it. Besides it increases the thickness of the soles of your shoes. Just maybe I should have cleaned the floor the day I was asked to do so. Would have saved a lot of stress in the household. I thought it would dry to a nice clear hard finish. Well you can't be right all the time.

Who Stunk Up The Garage?

You know women sometimes unjustly accuse men of smelling somewhat less like roses and a little more to the onion side of the scale. Well, a blow for all (man)kind was struck this week. During a sneak out to the garage to get a big orange drink I discovered the newest addition to the pets around here. The prettiest black and white striped critter. Being wise, I had a run in with its cousin when I was twelve, soon as I saw it I slowly backed away back into the house. Eureka! (I have plan!) I told the women that we had a new (cat) and they should see if it would let them pet it. He, He. Now what could possible go wrong. Let me count the ways. Jokes are not appreciated by the women folks.

2nd Most Amazing Thing

The second most amazing thing I came across this week was an apple peeler gizmo. You stick an apple onto this forked thingly, crank a handle and I'll be darned if it doesn't peel and cuts the core of the apple also. One word of warning. The core stays on the forked thingly so you should take it off manually. Now this is where I went wrong and upset the Ladies. If you release the lock on the crank and pull back hard on the handle you can shoot the core across the room. Found out aiming and timing is everything. You don't hit the cook. Not good for continued tranquility in the home.

Five weeks and counting. That is how long I have been trying to get a drivers license and to register a car in the State of Oregon. It seems as if you are licensed in another state you must prove you now live in Oregon. How do you prove this? By having an Oregon drivers license. Hmm. Or by having a signed statement from your parents. Hmm. I'm in my 70's, parents long dead. Well OK, get a utility bill with your name and address on it. Hmm. I live with a sibling and they pay all the utilities. License a car. Get an Oregon drivers license first. Now this is where I did the stupid thing. I asked the cleck at DMV if I could get a license the same way the illegals get theirs and save all the paper work. Was not well recieved!
