The Coffee Shop / A Little Old Lady

« on: July 28, 2014, 05:30:49 pm »

When asked by a young patrol officer, "Did you know that you were speeding?'
The 83 year old female driver gave the officer an ear to ear smile and stated:
"Yes, but......... I had to get there before I forgot where I was going."
The officer laughed, put his ticket book away and told her to have a Nice Day.

When it comes to computers, I have the IQ of a rock.  We live near 3 copy shops.  I just take a ruler & calculator and decide what percentage I want them to copy at.  Sets me back 10 cents per copy. 

The downside is that this comes out of our grocery money, but we get by.

Enjoy you Birthday !!

Many years ago, I had an Aunt that would go to the doctor and tell him about her aches & pains.  He would say, "You know, you have had a lot of birthdays."

To all you youngsters.  My sweet, caring, wonderful Wife and I are married 52 years, on our way to 75.  (If we are not hit by falling space junk before that.)

As far as how do you tell your wife, I suggest that you call her from your workshop, where you will be living for quite some time.

Hi Merlin,

Re: You had a problem trying to scroll an old oak board.

When you put the blade in the saw, have the teeth facing toward you.                       

All you nice folks on this site don't need to know why I am aware of that!!

You haven't had enough coffee until you can change the blade while the saw is running.

In an Iowa store, we use a shopping cart.  Daughter-in-law born in Oklahoma and now in Texas uses a buggy.

I build a 3 legged stand on wheels.  All 1 x 4s, with a triangle on top to mount the saw. 1 leg toward me.  The bottom of the 2 back legs have a 1 x 4 across.  I sit and roll the saw toward me & either work with my feet propped up slightly on that or move around and hold the near leg of the stand with my leg. Also, the 2 back legs extend up above the saw.  Across the top is a wide board tilted down with a heater pointed toward the saw table.

Because of Religious reasons (I'm a Devout Cheapskate), I bought this.  Money VERY well spent.  Takes pin & plain end blades.

I am mostly bald.  When a man gets old, his hair is the 2nd thing to go.
