Can anything else go wrong?
Did DaQo'tah find things to do this month?
Sump pump in the basement burned out, cost to replace - $98.00
Septic system basement pump stopped holding siphon, cost to replace parts and labor - $150.00
Water softener control computer shut down. Cost to replace and service call - $230.00
Clothes dryer blower fan broke off spindle, cost to replace, - $ 48.00
Dishwasher stopped working, Future cost to replace? "an arm and a leg"
Clothes washer timer stopped working, cost to replace $178.00 plus Labor of $60.00
Did DaQo'tah get anywhere in with his knife making?
Ordered ¾ inch brass for guards,
after 2 weeks with no sign of stated brass a call was made to supplier in Texas to check on the order.
"Oh yes, now I remember you, I guess I spaced out your order", says the supplier dude on the phone, "I will get that brass out to you with in 10 days."
Ordered type "A" Texaco Quenching oil from a supplier.
After 2 weeks with no sign of stated oil, a call was made to the supplier to check on the order.
"Oh, you wanted type "A" oil?" questions the dude on the phone with me, "Well we don't have type "A". We got something else."
Ordered 52100 steel from a well-known supplier of that type of steel.
After 2 weeks with no word about my order, I called to check on what was going on with it?
"Oh I'm very glad you called," states the dude on the phone with me. "Umm, we had a situation here, when a car smashed into the house, and your order was lost in the resulting chaos"
Does DaQo'tah have any news about his cats this month?
So I was down stairs working with a mouse pad and wet/dry sandpaper, trying to put a shaving edge on my latest finished blade, when I heard the sound on my wife's yelling voice.
I could hear her storming around the floor upstairs, cussing about something. Immediately I started to think about all the things I had done over the last few days that might just now have been exposed.
With tribulations I ascended the stairs, as I did, I heard even more commotion coming from the hallway leading to the bedrooms. I was about to turn the corner when I was met by a cat stampede.
All three of the cats were high tailing it out of the hallway, sprinting into the living room and took up positions under the couch. My wife was in hot pursuit of them with a broom in her hands and fire in her eyes!
Relieved that it was not I that faced her wrath, I stepped aside as she continued her assault past me into the living room. Soon I heard her open and slam the front door three different times.
I was curious as to what all this fuss was over so I opened the bedroom door and glanced around. The room looked like a fight had gone on in there, the lamp was on the floor, and the blankets were pulled off the bed. I was about to turn and ask into the living room what was going on? When I spotted "it"
There "it" was, laying on the bed, in a still steaming pile, was the indisputable evidence that one of the cats had been a "Very bad kitty"
A moment later, my wife returned to the bedroom with a arm load of cleaning utensils, and a determined attitude. I was about to make my exit, (as my dad always taught me, when a women is cleaning, get out of the way, and when she is done, ask if you can help),
When she looked up from her work to inform me, "Oh by the way, you know how we thought that all three cats were females?"
I paused, "we thought?" I ask,
"Yes, well as I was dragging out KNIEVEL from under the couch by the tail, I couldn't help but notice that she was a boy kitty." states my wife very matter of flatly.
Now thinking back on this same cat's pension toward self-destructive acts, it really should not come as a big surprise to me that KNIEVEL. (My Kamikaze insanity cat) should turn out to be male?
(Note to self, make appointment for one cat to be turned into a steer ASAP)
