Ideas, yeaah right?

Friends of mine


For today, I think!

I had an idea when I sat down, but it has flown.  This happens more often than in the past.

Nuts to you... No,  Nuts for me!  I have loved nuts since I was a kid. Probably from 4 yrs old to 6 yrs old when Granny died. She always reached into her 'bosom' to get her change   purse, a small thingee with a twist snap top; she always found me a nickel.  I ran to a little shack that sold snacks and buy a little container of salted nuts. That little container always promised a coin inside every pack, 1 to 25 cents.  Of course it was always a penny. ;-),

The coins were not new either. I look back at what I have been told  that coins have more germs attached than ost things.  WHY didn't all us kids get sick and die?  Con't get me wrong, I am glad I did not, ;-0.

ANYWAY, now my choice of nut is Honey Roasted.  I eat both p-nuts and almonds at night. I guess I eat about a 1/4 cup (as I am now, as I type)

YES, I AM TYPING. I do actually use two hands instead of one finger, but I still look at the keys, more than the screen, at times I look up and see nothing is on the screens, LOL

I never took Typing in school. I had to learn fast, when I was forced to use a 'typewriter' at a USAF job at MARS (Military Affiliated Radio Stations).  I did get a lot of strange looks when asked, I said, " I work at MARS!" 

I was supposed to type every message I received. To be honest most messages more than one line,  I wrote long-hand, then typed it off line

In this life I have did a lot of crazy things. I was trained as an Analog Computer repairman. Then when the world went Digital  I was trained as a Digital Repairman. Later I went to IBM School in D.C. And became an IBM repairman. 

 I have a sweet brilliant grandson, Josh, who programs and repairs software problems. I once told him, "I have fixed many computers and had no idea how I did it!" 

He made me feel so good once when he said, "Grandpa, I have done the same thing in Software repairs!"

Okay, that is my entry. I was going to write a brilliant post.

Love to all.

PS: As I finished this I thought to two guys I do so admire,  Both have health problems, both from my long time past. Not sure if you will read this, but Buddy and Dallas tonight I wish you well,  Memories of you bring a smile...


After a lot of work I think pictures appeared... I am confused
