Have you ever tried to pee while holding a golf umbrella? How about holding the umbrella while standing in a outhouse? In gusty winds? Cloud to ground lightning?
Well the good news is that our water is fixed, the bad news is that they can’t turn it on because the base has not tested it yet. The water was actually ready on Thursday afternoon, but since Friday was a “down day” for the base and they wouldn’t test it over their extended weekend, so we have to wait until Monday or Tuesday or maybe even later in the week before they can turn it on for the building.
Gods forbid we inconvience someone on their “down day” to check a water sample so a 24 hour shop can have water to use the bathroom, wash our hands, have a drink of water, refresh the chillers, make coffee, wash our hands, flush a toilet……..

The leader of the Great October Revolution of Russia, will be left without a new suit this year due to economic conditions. The last time Lenin’s suit was changed was in 2003, it us usually changed every 3 years when his body under goes touch ups.
This year the body was placed in a special bathtub filled with a solution of herbs that produce a embalming effect that will help the body keep up its shape for around 100 years and the suit was steam cleaned because just s speck of dirt can destroy the entire process.
When visiting Lenin’s tomb, there is no eating or drinking, no pictures, video’s or cell phones. Men must removes their hats and not put their hands in their pockets.
April 22nd was Lenin’s 139th birthday.

I think I put off the wrong tone yesterday went I was talking about the Ranger. I like the truck and by no means am upset that I bought it. It is a good truck and in good in good shape especially for a 12 year old truck. I think Shane got a very good deal and I think he will get many years of safe driving out of it, if he ever gets his GPA up to where it needs to be so he can actually drive it. I actually enjoy driving it to work and will enjoy it more once I figure out how to turn off the heat.
