CRISPINS CRITTERS

[G.I.B.]

it does my heart good to see you checking in Crispin. Try to keep your heart light and 'come visit an old man sometime' ( guess the movie)


ON another topic, I just got back from the Mecum classic car auction in Indy. How do so many people have so much money to spend on toys?

I can testify to that~ Jeff stood me up for a hunt in the bean field!

Perhaps next time Mr. Gordon.

Now roll that beautiful bean footage.

And,
One last suggestion for our Friend, Crispin;

Always take the long way home.



After the struggles of the day, and even during the day,
Take the time to look around, marvel at what is called "Life."
Breathe deeply of your surroundings,
Notice even the smallest of struggles of an ant and wonder what is their purpose?
What is my purpose?
Can I fulfill my purpose before this life escapes me?
A perfect example of "perspective."

And.....

Smell some roses.....



I was at a key make today at a customer's house for a 2010 Chevy Malibu.
A "Chip" key.

It takes a few minutes for the key to program,
And,
While waiting,
I checked out the flower garden and actually,
"Smelled the roses...."

The natural order of life dictates progression.

My life will be shown to encourage progression.....

My Friend, Crispin,


Always,
My Best Wishes,

Scott

Ummm...

How 'bout a beer instead?

My Best,

I'm feeling like a story tonight.

How 'bout "secretly living in a closed VA wing."
(I didn't get my meals from dumpsters then....)


Or,

Perhaps starting the narrative of my last camping adventure?



Either one....
Depending upon input....
Who wants which?

Best,

Scott

 

[AU24K]

Many requests for the "VA story...."

Give me a minute to collect memories....
It was a while ago.....

Flip a coin ,oops its on edge. I gotta wind it down.
Tended some headstones last week and drove around the area and realized the half century since living there took its toll. Bustle of old country homes replaced by falling down remnants. Dang near too melancholy to think about locating owners for future detecting. A old family friends shack took some time to find as few folks seem interested in street signs or address numbers. To late,friend left a few months ago. There is a spark yet,but a dim one.

 

[AU24K]

Sorry,

The story will have to be cleared for telling due to legalities and the statutes of limitations.

My apologies.....

While I investigate said legalities,
Let's enjoy this, shall we?

OK.
Here's what my lawyer (Me) says that I can tell.....

Back in the 80's, or was it the 90's?

(I DO remember that the once "England bound Clinton" was suddenly in the White House. And me, a Veteran,
eating from dumpsters and homeless.
A "Draft Dodger," talkin' smack 'bout MY AMERICA, From England....Under the guise of academia; I'm sickened.....
And his wife is now poised for a 2016 run?)

{What? Who? Me? Politickin'?
Nah, jes the way Unca Scotty sees it....}

Back when I was living in my car,
I got a Temporary job with the VA updating their office "work stations" with new furniture.

This included disconnecting their computers and re-fitting their whole environment.

I still to this day have the original signed letter of reference, from my liaison, of my work performed....



At the end of the day, I pretended to go to my car and leave to go home.

I went to the grocery store, bought bologna and bread.

I then went back to the VA Facility and "Broke in."
After dark.....Imagine that.....

I knew of the "Wing," originally meant for elderly Vets, and that had recently been shut down.
That was where I was assigned to perform the furniture assembly prior to the office furniture "change-over."

Once in, there was a nurses station with a refrigerator and microwave.

Meals were no problem.

I had access to showers, a bed and TV.

I had to learn of the security officer's rounds and made sure that my presence was invisible......

I enjoyed my stay for the entire time of my Temporary job.....

My presence was never found out.
NO Dumpster meals this time.....

Of course, many details will never be discussed......
Example: Breaking and entering of a Federal facility. Yep. That's a felony.....
How 'bout "Criminal Trespass?"


"Don't know of anyone guilty of any of that. How 'bout you?"

"Any one here know of such activity?"

"Well, Do ya?"


Here's where you wanna go "Full Screen."
Trust me.
Do it.


Best,

Scott



Full screen here, too, Boss?
(ABSOLUTELY!)



Bonus, Kids!
A thousand internet points to one who can:
A) Identify actor
B) Identify movie
C) Name the actor's name in said movie

Yeah,
I almost know as much about film as I do music....

And,
Since I don't have to stay up until sunlight studying,
I'll bid All a good night.
Bedtime at merely 1:30? 2:30?

Enjoy Boz "one-hit-wonder" Skaggs's back up band,
Who said, "Later, Boz."

Yeah,
I'm talkin' 'bout TOTO!







You can go full screen if you want.....

I will!

G' night, y'all...

Best,

Scott

Wow a lot went on last night in my absence. Scott you are well educated above your years, above any piece of paper. I missed Crispin, sorry about that.

I wake up. This morning and my wife is gone again for a week. Gone on another cruise. She is a nurse and her elderly patient wanted to go on a cruise to the Caymans, back to Jamaica. Once again I'm alone with the boys. Now 2 more are here! So I guess I will just make the best of it and party hard, with 5 grand kids..........god I miss her already.
