Just another SC Saturday

« on: June 01, 2013, 03:11:43 PM »

I got this nasty runny nose that only goes away when i drink beer.
Woke up at 7AM  in a pool of snot.  Blew my nose and the snot went all over my hand..  Great Start. Throw some clothes in washer.
I decide to do the 50% off at GW Day.  Off me and Chris go.  Chris is driving.  20 miles to Lafayette.
Its 9:05.  I get a bike pump that fits on the frame,  foam rubber Frail with bone handle, a Book,  " a Man, A can, a grill ", plus 4 other books . Total Spend $3.45,

 Chris takes me to ACE,  get some filters  and a free Craftsman Bottle opener.  YEA!..  Chris takes me to Walmart. We get out of the van and some jackass is cross cutting across the lot and is acting pissed that we are holding him up.
Did you know that Walmart does not carry Volvo Parts like sparkplugs and filters .  The bastards!.  BOO.

I go to Pharmacy,  I want to shove salt rock up my nose to dry it out.  I can't figure out what pill to buy.  I ask the Pharmacist  for some sudafed.  He says how I should spray saline up my nose. WTH. I'm a non stop snot water fall and he says I need to shoot saline up there.  I give him my best. your a stupid pile look  and grab some pills.  I cant remember what.

   We leave Walmart and some folks are setting up to sell hotdogs.  The woman acts &$@&$ee when I ask if the hot dogs are ready.  She has to go buy buns.  A man at the grill  says it will be 30 seconds.  I scream BS in my brain.  We leave.

  I drive to O Reillys get Volvo plugs.  Watch last game of 4th set round one, French Open, Brand gets beat.  good game.  Take out wet clothes,   hang on hanger ,  turn on dehumidifier, close laundry door.  Im saving money with my slow dryer.

Drive Alone to Old House.  Check out the cool vw wheels from Travis we  got for Stupie, (i had to insert a VW reference_).   Get wood and stuff, Change Air filters.   Drive back to RInggold,  Unload junk.  Its 2 o'clock,
I need a beer.   SC

Hey, I was at ACE this morning and got one of those free bottle openers too.  Then Joy called me to come to Goodwill with my truck and pick up all the stuff she bought.   ::) She's always bringing junk home.   ::)  One thing she bought was pretty cool . . . it's a big Triceratops that a kid can sit on.  When you turn it on, it responds to sensors all over it's body . . . if you scratch it under it's chin it will fall asleep, rub it's belly and it's tail wags.  It roars, blinks his eyes, moves his head, chews stuff you put in it's mouth . . . it's a hoot.  If you turn on the music, and bounce on it, it plays 4 different "jungle adventure" songs.  It was marked $29.99, but since it's half price day it was 15 bucks.  I looked 'em up on Amazon and they are $799 new . . . and there are 13 used ones starting at $315.  I guess I better not say much to her about the junk she bought, since I purchased a late 1950's Snappin Turtle mower this morning . . .

I don't drink beer.  But I've got this neet Craftsman bottle opener now, so maybe I need to start.   ;D

Zen.  Wow. That Dino sound great. How did I miss that.   the Volvo plugs were rock hard in there.   I soaked the stuck  plug with penetrating oil to get it outn.   3were worn out Volvo plugs and one was a new auto light.   I stuck 4 1.99 nkg in and the motor is purring like a super Volvo kitten again.

As usual for the first Sat. of the month, Joy was standing in line waiting on the door to open.  If you weren't there before 8:20, it was already gone.  I've found out a little more about them . . . they sold new at Wal-Mart for $229 but are no longer avalible.  This one's head is hanging down . . . everything seems to work OK, but he should be holding his head up higher.  I felt around in the loose fabric around his neck to see if I could figure out what was wrong and I found a spring . . . it looks like a brake pedal return spring on a Beetle, but about 1/3 the size.  If I could figure out how to "skin" him without destroying him, I bet I could fix it.  Until then, he'll just be hangin' his head a lower than he should.  I guess he's sad somebody gave him to Goodwill.
