Why?

 

                                                                    'Little Richard'

For today:

During the day I can think of some good subjects to blog about, then comes evening and I am a blank, WHY?

Why can’t songs today have intelligent lyrics like in my day, when Little Richard sang:

Wop-bop-a-loo-mop, alop-bom-bom

Tutti frutti, oh Rudy
Tutti frutti, oh Rudy
Tutti frutti, oh Rudy
Tutti frutti, oh Rudy
Tutti frutti, oh Rudy
Awop-bop-a-loo-mop, alop bom bom

 

I got a girl, named Sue
She knows just what to do
I got a girl, named Sue
She knows just what to do

She rock to the east
She rock to the west
But she's the girl
That I love best

Tutti frutti, oh Rudy........ Etc,,,,

 


you can watch and listen if you like down in the PS  I hope

 

To tell it as it is, I have reached a point on my Cub Cadet mower project, that I cannot get past.  I need my welder, and tools from my playhouse in NC. The neighbor across the street here has a welder, but he isn’t much better at welding than I am. So, I do not feel good asking him for help.

 

Honestly the Cub needs a mower deck, I am sure that is why the original owner scrapped the thing. The sucker runs and drives good forward and backwards, but I cannot keep the belt on the deck to cut grass. The deck is warped a little and the pulleys do not line up. I am missing two parts and have tried to make them, but so far, no luck.

 

Anyway, tomorrow I start another project, For some reason this computer hangs up and I have been trying to get back to where I was. I have lost part of the entry.  I am so tired of messages like:

1.       OOPS, your computer has run into a problem and must shut down!

2.       Oops, looks like you are offline! ( the signal is always fine at the time.)

3.       Cannot seem to find that page!

 

I think maybe that is why I prefer to get my hands dirty, at least, if something doesn’t work, you can kick it.  LOL  (Nah I really don’t do that any more!)

 

But I must say this and sign off.

 

I have enjoyed reading blogs and comments but have not had any initiative to do anything for a while.. My mind is still messed up. But I am plodding along…

 

Remember it is probably too late to make a difference, You know the naughty and nice thingee. So be really good the next few days and you might get something better than coal in your stocking that you will soon hang with care..

 

From Florida where we are having great weather……

PS 

 Thank each of you for stopping by.  Of course I appreciate everyone who reads this attempt on being a blog.

WOW the top was in 1956,  the one below was later,  I think at his entry into the hall of fame.  But Segregation was prominent. That is how I was raised and thought that was normal.  Even though I lived thru Segregation as I look back, I cannot believe how narrow minded  that period was.

Thank you for this lovely post, Jack. I love visiting her and always learn something new. I enjoyed the songs too.

We all get down from time to time; I know I do. Usually it is either tiredness, health issues, or frustration at life and what's going on around us. I often turn to God and say: "OK, so what do you want me to do now?" More often than not it helps me calm down. Maybe that is His answer to my prayer.

Praying for you and your family my friend. Best wishes for Christmas and God bless you all.
