Because I noticed that all the places started with letter "A" (does anyone remember the show Sesame Street?) - This is the kind of stuff you think about the 15th hour of your plane flight, when hypoxia sets in.

I'm in a rut - during the past months I've been in Appalachia, Africa, Asia, Atlanta, Armenia, Arkansas, and Austria. I need to go to Back to Baltimore, rent a Car in California, and the Drive to Dallas to shake it up and move forward.

Have you ever been to Venezuela? Do you ever feel in danger when you travel to foreign countries?

Have you ever been to Venezuela?

A while back before all this latest trouble. I have three good friends who lived there. One of them I haven't heard from in 3 1/2 years and I'm really worried. One lives in London because it isn't safe in Caracas. One lives in Spain, again for safety. Those who can leave, do.

No tourist should go there for any reason, I hate to say. A tragedy because Venezuelans are good people and the country is amazingly beautiful. Angel Falls is there.


Do you ever feel in danger when you travel to foreign countries?

Sometimes. I'm often in developing countries but not once have I ever felt more on alert than NYC in the late 80s.

I came to a realization that I have a propensity for creepy photos. I almost posted one in the ‘post pictures of you’ thread, then better judgment told me not to.

It was from our CPR and first aid training. We had to take our outer shirts off, and I was just wearing a spirts bra under mine because it’s hot and humid in N.C., which I’m sure the guys enjoyed that, but anyhow. Just for a laugh, I took the face off of one of the resuscitation mannequins and put it over my face, so one of the mechanics keeps this huge Bowie knife in his toolbox for whatever reason, so he grabbed it and had me pose with it for a photo.

I think the photo is hilarious, but that’s one perhaps I should keep to myself.

The excavation of my childhood home continues. I have a lot more Atari 2600 and NES games than I thought.

And my actual crib, where I took my tiny, newborn naps.

One of the most intriguing/frightening finds is a stack of old 3.5" disks. Some are labelled as school work and the like, but some have a mysterious, ominous label. I think I know what they might be, and looking at them might be a very, very bad idea. I can't imagine how i didn't destroy these disks twenty years ago (if that's what they are).

There's a dusty old Compaq with a floppy drive; I have no idea if it will run. If not, Amazon has some cheap USB drives. I'm not sure the disks will even be readable at all. Maybe I should just burn them.

I also found my Transformers bed sheets.

The universe works in such mysterious ways. I was just texting someone about how I wish I could cuddle a kitty or dog. No joke, exactly 11 minutes later I heard meowing at my front door. I opened the door and there was a cute, little tiger-striped kitten sitting there. It came right in and started wandering around. I sat down on the floor and it walked over to me, sniffed at my belly, and looked up at me. I sat there petting it. Since I figured it must be somebody's pet that managed to get loose, I let it back out. That kitten brightened my night.

My house has been shaking from the aftershocks from the 7.1 for the last half hour.

Without too much digging, I found the reason for the quake. (Alleged)
If anyone is interested, have a look at Johnxarmy YouTube channel.
The recent one about the Lingim at the naval Base where the quake was centered.
Someone else posted a clip of hundreds of bees that were killed from the quake. Sound vibration.

One of our new hires was pranked pretty good today, and it was hilarious!

So, a bead seater is a tank which gets filled with compressed air. When you mount a new tire, the chute gets pressed against the bead of the rim and the air is rapidly discharged, basically blasting the tire onto the bead.

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41iRKdUN0pL._AC_SY400_.jpg

So the new guy went into the bathroom, and someone filled it with air, filled the tube with baby powder, stuck it in the gap between the floor and the bottom of the door, and let off with it. He came out of there looking like a powdered doughnut!

I think they ARE the tire shop. What we have is poor production values on youtube. They should actually write a script. Take the video to match the script, only use the good video, and then do a voice over.

No need to show something not working.

This is more like it.

It works when you do it right. And if that fails, there’s always starting fluid and a lighter, but OSHA sort of frowns on that method. Besides, how do you think tire shops seat tire beads? Hell, a tractor-trailer tire and rim weighs more than I do and I still get it done.

As as an added bonus, there’s also this…

Ripped open one of the loops holding the chains for the heavy bag at the gym, it's hanging by the remaining two and will not last much longer. Called the gym to tell them that the bag is about to go, the guy says he'll fix it. He put some duct tape on the side seam of the bag.

:rotfl:

He's a great guy and I'm not going to complain. I just hope he's not mad when I rip the whole fucking bag down, or maybe one of these guys that can actually kick it hard. I did it before a few years back but was a different owner.

I was cleaning out a file cabinet, sorting through a massive stack of old school work, when I found printouts of what I feared may be on those disks. How did that happen?! There's quite a bit. Maybe I should destroy them, or maybe I am meant to read them. Maybe they will destroy me emotionally.

For now, I think I'm going to stay out of that house for a while.

The haven't been preserved so the ink has kind of bled over other words and the paper itself looks almost see-through is certain spots.

Caught just a glimpse of one of those e-mails. I had an AOL account, so maybe 1997,1998? I saw the subject and first couple of lines and felt like I could have written it yesterday.

Also, just an amazing amount of stuff. Lots of baby clothes and books, my high chair, various toys and games, my baby blanket, my Apple IIGS (can't find the disk drive), and lots of bits and baubles. Bittersweet memories.

Today I went over mostly to clean, but decided to crack open the top drawer of the file cabinet. It was jammed full of papers and I had to quit after five minutes.

This was supposed to be a fun project, but now I'm going to have to talk to my psychiatrist about it.
