: Hi Folks

: Building things isn't always as simple as we write it up to be. I was at Home
: Depot a week ago, or so, and picking up materials for my steamer. I was
: helped with several pieces by the gentleman in that section, and actually
: he was quite interested in what I was building and wants pictures when I'm
: done. Anyway, I didn't have sense enough to get a basket on my way back to
: the isle I needed, so, after I had made my selections, I decided to just
: assemble all the parts the way they would go together and then only have
: to carry one piece throught the store to the counter. Great Idea!! Until I
: rounded the corner and entered the register area.

: It's cold outside, so, I'm wearing my heavy Levi's, jeans and jacket, scarf,
: woolie cap, biker boots and dark glasses. I come around the corner and
: there are several people milling around and of course some in the
: check-out lines with the clerks crunching away on the registers.
: Immediately, several people near me gasped and a few jaws dropped to the
: floor, probably needing to go to tools and get a floor-jack......... never
: mind. Again, here I am with this item tucked under my arm and 4 little
: dark colored wheels in my other hand. Everyone is looking at me now and
: I'm starting to get a little curious. Two ladies at the nearest counter
: backed up and started towards the door, and it was then that I realized
: what was up. I swung the parts around in front of me, which was probably
: not the best thing to do, at this point in time, as some of the folks
: nearest me flinched and then all just breathed a sigh of relief and more
: or less went about their business. I kinda smiled, cause that's what I do,
: just kinda smile and quickly dis-assembled the " Bazooka " and
: went about my business. Wouldn't be surprised to see my picture up on the
: wall at work.

: Hey, I may look mean and nasty, and truth be known, I like it that way, but,
: I'm really a sweet, warm and loving kinda guy. Hey, I play with my
: grandchildren, I sew and I even bake....... and decorate cakes. Just look.
:

: The things we have to go through for this Hobby. Sheeeezz!!

: The "Rehd" man!

Hay Rehd,

You got me shaking laughing on this one. This would make a good movie. Real funny.
