NAKED OF COURSE
This blonde girl at work asked me the other day, "How do you shower with that cast on your foot."
My answer: "naked of course. Just like everyone else."

Nicknames Don't Last Forever
When I was in the sixth grade, a friend John Davis started calling me "Choo Choo". Choo Choo Crane. Get it? He had been given the nickname "Honker". I have been racking my brain trying to remember Paul Dangerfield's cool nickname but it won't come to me.
My friend Art Cude was "Arty Farty." Ron Hedin was "Heed the Weed." Lynn Hutchings was simply "Hutch", Ralph Visser was called by his last name "Visser or Viss."
It is against the rules to give yourself a nickname. I always wanted to be "Skip" or maybe "Slick." But nobody would assign one of those to me. I was somewhat pleased when David was in high school and we took him to McDonald's and his high school buddies greeted him with "Hey Bobber." I noticed that my son Michael is cxalled "Mikey" by some of his band members. Marilynn's brother Joe was called "Stinky" when he was little. Some of my grandkids: Desi, Chan, Ky, Nate, Ez, Joey, Treebark, Kenzie.
I remember when Jacqui's dad called once Marilynn announced, "Fuzzy wants to talk to you."
Sometimes we never outgrow our nicknames.

Everybody Loves Scott?
My floor manager at work conducted our training. He looks a lot like Ray Romano of "Everybody Loves Raymond." I didn't tell him so.
Marilynn made Ezra a dinosaur cake for his birthday. It is cute. We are going to Eagle Mountain in about an hour. I hope I can dodge all the crazy drivers.

Foggy Drive
I-15 was a foggy drive this morning but not too bad. Only spent 6 hours at work. They didn't have enough planned for us. Monday may be better. Looks like we will be getting the Thanksgiving day holiday off next week. I had a blog planned for today but forgot what it was.
Cleaned a little bit on my office and found the remote to my TV that had been missing about a year.

Humming Sun
I was getting my cast changed today. My cast technician's assistant wasn't there so he recruited a little gray-haired lady to assist him. I was trying to impress them both with my creative abilities and imagination by telling them that when I was a little boy I used to think that the droning of the motor driven airplanes in the sky, on sunny days, was the sun humming. She exclaimed, "Boy you must have been one dumb little boy!" The technician, Corky, yelled, "Sharleen!!" Then we all laughed and laughed.I told them that my wife was going to just love her comment.
When I got to work they had me go to training and then when I completed the training a group of us were told that we haven't received our security clearances were going on unpaid leave of absence.

A Good Mechanic is Good To Find
We let our Oldsmobile sit for 4 or 5 years in the driveway because we thought the transmission went out. We gave the car to Matt and he had it fixed by replacing a relatively inexpensive electronic module. Last Friday Marilynn took our Geo Storm in to a mechanic that Mike and Matt and Mark use. He was able to fix our standard transmission on that car by adjusting the linkage and only charged us $40. I had only driven it for 2 years without a reverse or 2nd gear. (A previous mechanic had scared us by telling us we probably needed a new transmission.)We will probably keep going to this guy.
Now now don't cry Mikey it is only four more years

Point of the Mountain Jinx
I had a flat at Point of the Mountain tonight. I was coming home from work and it was dark. I searched the trunk and found the tools -- a crappy jack but an oversized X wrench that had lots of good leverage to get the rusted lug nuts off. The shoulder was very narrow and I could visualize an 18 wheeler crashing into me with a big explosion. I strained with the jack to get the flat tire off and got the mini-spare on. When I was down to tightening the last two lug nuts a nice clean-cut young man about Matt's age stopped and finished up for me. People are sure nice. The rest of the people zooming by at 75 MPH were in too much of a hurry or afraid to stop.I got home an hour late and Marilynn fixed me a toasted cheese sandwich. I have to get up at 4 am to be to work by 6 in the morning.
