April showers make Cowboys smell better while drinking Coffee, Tea or your favor

[Baltimore Ed]

"You gotta play the hand you're dealt." Something that I've always said to get me through tough times. Doesn't make it easier but it keeps the whining down. Made my wife a cup of tea this am. She's gotten burned out on caffee I guess. More coffee for me.

Use that line at work with older folks, about half get it.  The bathroom on the right gets more laughs.

Got a kid that's a regular, early 20's, seams dsharper than most his age.   Used the Mr Pebody line, figured I could tell him to look it up on YouTube, he got the CCR reference when someone else asked.

Anyway he grinned and said his dad was a big John Prine fan.

John Prine.....  Huh !     yep   sharp as a marble 

[Delmonico]

It don't make no sense that common sense don't make no sense no more.

You got to love the man's lyrics.

Evening all.

Well, I made it to Billings.  I have decided on a couple of things about the city.  Number one, the roads were not well thought out.  Two, hotels next to the train tracks should have gone out with the steam locomotive.  Three, being down wind of an oil refinery is not good on the nose.
That being said, the city reminds me of the city back home.  I think I'll be okay.

We just got to the hotel after a big event at the school.  Food and speakers, and all of the new students got to formally accept our big scholarships.   

I think for the rest of the day, I'm going to sit back with a cold bottle of water and not drive anywhere.

I stayed in one of them Hotels the summer of 63.

Getting the train pushed  over the divide the next day by a helper  engine was cool.  Was on a curve and you could watch it.

Visit Rand Hats there in town.  My dress hat is a Rand.   You'll get sticker shock, but they are worth every penny.

Billings is not to too hard to Navigate .... at one time the railroad and those 2 hotels is all that exsisted there. (Cows) Untill the energy people moved in it was nothing but sage cows and sheep.


Thanks for the coffee

I'm getting a little more used to it.  I did find Cabela's today. An elk sandwich and new mag later and now I'm back at the hotel watching Tombstone.

There was more stuff at the school this morning.  I got registered for class, got a tour, and had lunch.  It was pretty interesting, learned a lot.

Someone got to show him what to do with the extra bolt that was left over from the build. 

[Delmonico]

Goes on the bucket with the rest of the leftovers.

And my cup of coffee

[Delmonico]

Was on a can the other day and found a washer used to adjust the fan belt on an air cool VW. 

Ok, no surprise with the ones I've had and worked on.

Other bolt sure looks like the head bolt off a 235 Chevy, ain't done one of those since 1980 and am sure we put all of them back in.

[Baltimore Ed]

Glad you're not a helicopter mechanic.

[Delmonico]

Glad you're not a helicopter mechanic.

Why? Don't they have extra parts you don't need?
