It's so hit-n-miss with me. I can do anvil wipers. Problem is, you can't get anvil wipers at the store.


I get The Guy at the auto parts store to do it. It hurts less to tell 'em that Ah'm too st000pid ta do it.
It used to be there was a standard wiper blade connector. Not they're all over the map. Different adapters for different cars.

And trying to replace them in 10F weather after the kid got mad and ripped one off to car doesn't help...
 
I never knew that the auto parts store would change then for you.

Several years ago we were driving my truck - the windshield wiper was fucked and of course it stayed pouring. I was out there cussin and swearin trying to find a YouTube vid and see how to change em… 😂
Cussing and swearing is written right into the OEM procedure for changing those things. I believe it's actually a requirement!
 
Dont get cocky ...they are planning their next attack
If they decide to escalate their roof operations…I may have to resort to the nuclear option.

I have it on good order Bbq Oriental Squirrel can be quite tasty.

Funny story behind Mr. White’s cookbook. When. I was a kid, Franc had a TeeVee show. It was a 30 min show of he and his dog, sometimes guests, fishing or hunting and the last 5 mins or so he’d cook what ever they were in the field for. He also had a restaurant that served wild game amongst its fare. It was close to an institution of higher learning that didn’t teach me much, but I did get to sample his Quail a L’Orange!

Over the lockdowns I got to thinking of Ol’ Franc and started doing some “The Google” tiptoeing. Sadly Franc had departed for the great deer camp in the sky. An interview with his children revealed during one of the big hurricanes in 80’s or 90’s, flooded their garage and a treasure trove of his films were destroyed.

The PBS station that carried his show didn’t have any backups, so the only place to find anything is the source of all knowledge…UToob. Usually a vid of old grainy VHS off some dudes teevee.

Two really cool things bout Franc. His old International Scout and his Maul airplane were both outfitted in Black&White Zebra stripe paint jobs!
His logo had that same stripe pattern.

Lastly, he signed off every show with this; “Do yourself a favor, Take a kid fishing!”

That quote always had a special meaning. I had plenty of uncles and a few family friends that “took a kid fishing”…it was a huge deal for this kid.

So, here’s to the Southern Sportsman…an inspiration to a whole lot of us in the Carolinas. He will be the subject of today’s —MZ—

The Coda to this rambling half a cup of coffee work is during that research, I found a couple of his cookbooks on Amazon. When they came in the USMail, one turned out to be an autographed copy!

We’ve spoken lightly about Christmas Queens on here. Many aspire to the crown. Only one can reign.

You my dear…are THE Christmas Queen! May your reign be long!
