Sunday Dinner with Sue and Rasty

Sue, bless her heart, must have cooked all day long: two exotic pies; one like a macaroon, one raisin pecan, homemade rolls, saffron rice with veggies and marinated lamb steaks. In their shady secret spot surrounded by flowers, dogs, birds, bunnies, and a few ants, we enjoyed a feast and good gabbing. Wyoming produced a fine warm windless day and if we didn't have a nice time, I don't know what one is. Pried a few stories of the good old days from Rasty. He is willing to tell them if he can access them.

The Volkswagen is now getting 100 miles per gallon. I started out for their house in it but it quit and I pushed it back home. It is blocking the main drive right now. I got a battery for the Ford Ranger and eventually got it installed and found a key. I think I can squeeze it past the Ford van and the VW and then hook the VW up to the tow ball and take it to town to the doctor. I am going to be installing battery tenders for all these vehicles. While I am in Florida the batteries discharge and eventually freeze. No I am not interested in selling them-you can see a fellow in this neck of the woods needs spares and purpose dedicated vehicles: economy, four wheel drive, turnpike cruising, going to the store, hauling the dogs, etc. I think the VW got a bad tummy from a full tank of gas and the fuel line is constipated. I hope that is what it is. I downloaded a VW manual from the Web and found a picture of what the fuel filter looks like but I can't find it. Got a nasty note from Starband about the size of the download. Unlimited use somehow morphed into limited. They may lose me- nothing about the three months I didn't use it at all. I do have options now, though my Florida friend Greg said he got warned by Verizon. Based on his further conversation about a future Filipino wife, I think he may have been downloading something a little racier than a VW manual, though. Bait and Switch wherever you look.

I stayed awake all day long- I am playing a temporary elimination game with meds to see if I can find a culprit.

Sue and Rasty have wonderful dogs-dog's dispositions and owner's dispositions tend to be mirrors. Big pictures of a great evening at the web album. All you have to do is click:
