My wife has one of the ugliest Rooster pitchers, so ugly , well anyway I looked on ebay and saw one selling for $700. He's better looking now. I only have one yardstick, it's aluminum, use it as a straight edge to check heads, manifolds etc. Yea, it's boring around here. 27 degrees, no heat in the shop. I'm watching re-runs of Andy Griffith re-runs.

Back in '58, Miss Bailey at Richmond Beach Elementary could splinter a yardstick with the best of 'em. In fact there was a popular song schoolkids would sing in those days. Went something like this... 'Glory, glory Halleluia, teacher hit me with a ruler'. It was almost as popular as the one that started like this. 'Whistle while you work, Hitler was a jerk....'. Bonus points to anyone who can complete these short songs. I have never been so bored recuperating from heart surgery, like you can't tell.... Back to work half days now. Relief in sight.

At only 52, I must be too young to know any Hitler songs. The glory, glory song, otoh, I remember quite vividly. Problem is, if we sang it today we'd likely get arrested as it relays bringing a "loaded 44" to school and getting even with said teacher. My how times have changed.

Very Good eye, but no! 
That would make storing all those things much easier, I always dread putting them up and putting them away. Luckily I missed out on getting everything out this year, came home late one night from work in Late November and the yard was all lit up and all the Christmas decorations were out! 
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner.
She got pretty excited about it when she saw it, Anyway. he's not staying Up... there for very long.
