Honestly, I lied my ass off. Some family secrets should remain so. I did tell him though she loved him very much - that was no tall tale.

50 Evening, Weird Dave, and ONT Horde! Hung a grease job on the convertible, and serviced the brakes. Front brakes nearly new; just needed adjustment. Rear brakes were worn out down to the rivets, but had not fucked the drums. Good news: I had new shoes on the shelf. Bad news: one leading shoe had the hole for the self-adjust bellcrank in the wrong place. Stupid news: I had two sets of new shoes; could have swapped out the bad one instead of drilling a new hole.

But the brakes are working, with a nice high firm pedal.

Heh. One time our group chartered an relatively new motor yacht, bare boat, for a weekend cruise in Georgia Strait. Boat was built in Taiwan. Had a few glitches, but nothing serious. On the return leg, the guy on the helm steered hard aport, so we could see some sea lions. And the rudder stuck there. The wheel spun uselessly. We motored in tight circles, slowly drifting towards rocks with the tide. Me and another guy got rear deck hatch open, and crawled down into the transom area. Found a bunch of clothesline and plastic pulleys lying in the bilges. Brand new yacht, 1980-something, and it had cable steering? Pulley block in the port corner had pulled out of the wood. It had been hung on a big screw eye. I jammed the screw eye back in the hole, and cranked it as far as it could go, levering on the eye with some improvised prybar. Got the cable restrung, and we could steer again. Sheesh.

93 Update on my job.
I work for a struggling automotive company you may or may not have heard of.
Well we recently got word that it had been discovered that parts from a particular supplier were discovered not to be within specifications.
The problem is, they are a structural component and their failure could endanger the safety of our customers.
You see, no one had been checking whether these parts were made correctly for TWO years.

Unsurprisingly, the parts failed a test recently conducted.
We left work that day thinking the company was as good as dead.
The fallout would have been a nightmare.

Days later we hear that allegedly the first test didn't count for some reason or another.
However, a second test was done and the part passed.
They declared it good.
So back to work almost as usual.
They are trying to tighten up their QC.

IF you are elevated to a government position in this country and you feel compelled to state that your chief task is to assist citizens of the Outside World shithole from which your ancestors came, that ought to be prima facie evidence of treason on your part with getting striped of your post and sent back to said Outside World shithole with no right of return as a consequence.

95 Did You Know?

Walter Duranty, columnist for the New York Times (Stalin’s favorite!) took drugs with, shared a mistress, and get this - was butt buddy with Aleister Crowley, infamous Briitish satanist. “Ritual sodomy” is how it was described anyhow. I don’t know what that is particularly, but I’m cool with that.

The QC needs some QC.

Or CQC.

I saw Ritual Sodomy open for the Butthole Surfers at Pine Knob in 96. Great show, but my ass hurt for weeks afterwards.

Or maybe they found a testing company that was a little more flexible? First thing they should have done was order another test.

100 I pulled the bagger off the riding mower and attacked the knee high weeds that covered the back half-acre, here at Villa Gorilla.

An hour and a half later, I was victorious. Despite my hat, coveralls, and N95 dust mask, I was still quite filthy and congested.

A shower, a decongestant pill, and lots of bourbon and Coke Zero later, I think I will survive.

Now to find a suitable Friday night movie. See you later.

101 >>Found a bunch of clothesline and plastic pulleys lying in the bilges. Brand new yacht, 1980-something, and it had cable steering? Pulley block in the port corner had pulled out of the wood. It had been hung on a big screw eye. I jammed the screw eye back in the hole, and cranked it as far as it could go, levering on the eye with some improvised prybar. Got the cable restrung, and we could steer again. Sheesh.

Cable steering is not uncommon on boats. Had some exciting moments I wasn't looking to have.

Having someone who can MacGyver the situation when it goes pear shaped is a lot less common.

102 You can tell it's Ritual Sodomy by the all the candles.
