I tell stories like the woman who tried to steal the medic but couldn't work the air brakes...... or the time someone hid in the mogue cart to scare the doc....or the sending the new hire to the 9th floor for something that didn't exist..because the 9th floor doesn't exist.....

Carpenters send kids (or some Litsters) for the board stretcher. Mechanics send them for the left-handed monkey wrench. Wire butchers send them for the wire stretcher. Crane and rigging guys send them for the sky hook. They're all kept on the 9th floor, too.

Sorry to put a damper on hot dogs but according to the American Cancer Institute is a good way to increase your risk of cancer. I will never eat any processed meets. Rather give me Walleye fillet or salmon.

Back to work for me...There's another village I have to terrorize!

I use this one a lot... for good reason I think.

No skin off my nose. Never have I ever liked a hot dog. But often was the lesser of many (grilled) evils, so I learned to smother (most of) the taste with mustard, ketchup, and pickles to survive. The way I figure, that just leaves more dogs for them what eats 'em.

Hebrew national hotdogs
Nathan's

Since I can't digest red meat anymore, I do veggies.
No, not "veggie dogs"
Just actual grilled veggies
Hmm, now I'm hungry... Ooh! Bag of edamame in the freezer.
Snack Time!

I don’t eat hot dogs often, but I do enjoy thuman’s. I think it’s a local/regional brand. Really good!!

Don't know the first thing about cycles, but that sure is a purty color combination.

One time, I picked my boys up from school. They were maybe eight and six. On the ride home, from out of left field, my youngest says, "I really like hot dogs. I just wish a pig didn't have to die to make them." Just about broke my heart. But then I explained to him how all of the animals that he loved ate other animals, too. Dolphins eat fish, lions eat gazelles (do NOT fact check me on that), polar bears and killer whales eat seals. That seemed to make him feel better. He never mentioned anything about eating meat again.

Normally, and I don't know the reason why and don't need to know. green is considered Bad Luck for a motorcycle color. Harley-Davidson did do a blank and green combination on the 2019 Heritage Classic that looked kinda throwback to the WW2 WLA bikes. I liked it/them. I looked at a used one when I was bike shopping my 2nd one in 2020 and bought Morticia instead. I think I'm much better off.

This is what Morticia looked like when we hooked up, but this is a Google pic, not my bike. I've gotten her a few bells and whistles along the way.

TIL:
Green Bikes are Bad Luck
For a long time, riders considered green a terrible color for motorcycles. If you rode a green bike, it was believed, you were more likely to crash and die. Since nobody likes to do either of those things, motorcycle makers found green was an extremely unpopular color.

The whole thing might have started because of World War II. Soldiers rode motorcycles painted green to carry messages or get quickly from place to place. The color identified them as military and made them a target for enemy rifles in the area. In their case, green bikes did make it more likely they could experience bad luck.

Then, after the war many of those same bikes were shipped home and sold as surplus. They had been ridden hard over tough terrain, shot at and sometimes neglected. They weren’t in the best shape, so they were more likely to experience mechanical failure. That and worn tires and war-fatigued brakes also made it more likely riders could be involved in an accident.

They sold a bunch of those things after the war. They were kinda gutless. I think they had a 45CI engine (750cc, more or less). But they were burst of freedom for a bunch of guys who couldn't just return to the world. I get it.


They did soup them up and trade them for bigger bikes, too.

The young cats are at it again. I think either of them would be distraught if something bad happened to the other one. Not on my watch, Captain, if I have anything to do with it.


Off to read.


Play nice now, ya hear?

Dear {Brand Name Withheld},

Let this missive hereby inform you that the product you have labelled as "Greek Yogurt", is very much... not!

Greek Yogurt is thick, creamy, and robust. Your product? Thin, weak, and lacking. I daresay a cherry would sink to the depths of your packaging rather than ride high a proud upon what should be a stout container of probiotic goodness.

While it's not bad, for mere yogurt, if word got out about your product it would be the start of the Great Mediterranean War.

Nay - not on my watch! Never again will your product find itself in my abode.

Sincerely,
A most devout lover of Greek (Style) Yogurt!

Goodnight, BSK... sleep well

I'm off to haul significant trash to the curb and then a hot, soapy shower before bed.

Sweet Dreams, all!
