Just Saturday
- I've been having the lamest dreams- shaving my head, paying bills, sleeping...
- As interesting as the ISS may be, when it crosses my mind I always think- the Earth after solving all her other problems decides to put a 100 billion dollar gerbil habitat into low Earth orbit.
- The second e in interesting continues to elude me on the first try.
- The Cordon Bleu sammich from Denny's is pretty OK.
- Unless it is eating, the corey cat shoves it's head into the same corner of the log it hides under in the aquarium- in the same exact position every time and doesn't move an inch.
- It seems rare to me to find a woman who likes milk. If true, is it a reaction to people pushing them to drink it from an early age?
- I have never bought anything off E-Bay.
- An Army buddy bought a remote control airplane off E Bay for the opening bid of 99 cents. We started it up and watched it slam into the side of the barracks and come apart in 4 or 5 pieces.
- ...I can't feel anything, but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life.

Ebay is an electronic garage sale. I have become a seller this past year, selling about 10 items. Sorry you missed them!
I LOVE cold milk :) x
Once 5 of us Coasties pitched in and rented a house in the Seattle U-District while our ship was in drydock. One Sunday one of the guys (Jeff) brought an old Yamaha 125cc dirtbike with a blown engine home. We found a new 250cc engine that would bolt up and went to test it out in the alley.
The first pass the throttle hung on take off and Jeff bailed. The bike headed for the wall of the building behind us and climbed the wall 3-4 feet before crashing.
A quick tweak of the forks and some WD-40 and we were ready for Round 2. Jeff made a couple low speed passes then nailed it. When he hit 3rd gear the throttle hung again and he bailed off aiming it for the neighbor's garage... He missed.
The riderless dirtbike went screaming just inches past the corner of the garage and a split second later we see this guy pop around the corner running for his life. I'm not sure his feet were actually touching the ground.
The bike went thru 2 more yards and slammed into the rear wheel of a parked car at the end of the block. We quickly gathered the bike up, ran back to the house and hid it in the basement.
Never did see that guy again, but I always wondered what went thru his head when a riderless Yamaha appeared out of nowhere heading straight for him running wide open.
