Well, it's inevitable that the seasons will change. It truly was a corvette summer this year. I managed to get more than a few miles on the old car which is something I haven't done for a few years. It was in the shop all last summer and over winter and I didn't get it back until May of this year. Parts are hard to come by but it was worth the wait. Funny how we take things for granted .... power steering and power brakes as a for instance. The old car is fun to drive, but you have to pay attention and for those that have never had the pleasure of "armstrong steering", well, it's a little different in the corners, that's for sure.
I think I will get the interior spruced up this winter and just have the shop keep it over winter. It sure saves a lot of room in the garage.
Maybe next year there will be a companion in the passenger seat? Sure hope so.
It's almost time to winter it, but not quite yet.

I have to say, I was pretty amazed at the latest u-tube sensation playing his own version of a Little Drummer Boy.
It's hard to imagine that the kid is only 16 and that he did everything. Played all the instruments, made the video, did most of the videography.
I expect that this kid will have a career in music at some point in time.
What a great vid.

I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in.
I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people are just assholes.
I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it.
I've learned that you can get by on charm for 15 minutes. After that you'd better have a huge dick or big boobs.
I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to others - they're more screwed up than you think.
I've learned that you can keep vomiting long after you think you should be finished.
I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, unless we are celebrities.
I've learned that no matter how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades, and there had better be a lot of money to take it's place.
I've learned that 99% of the time when something isn't working in the house, one of the kids did it.
I've learned that people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon and all the less important ones never go away.

Gawd apeered before Abie-ham agin when he was 99ish. Still talkin about multyplying and been frootful. Abie-ham fell on his face.
Gawd sed "Jist keep up our agreemint and you'dd be hed of a multytude of nations. Here's the rools.
First thing everybuddy's gotta do then ther 8 days old is git sircumsize. This is dun thru the fourskins. In yer case, it'll be rettero-active. Anybuddy won't do it, git it cut off."
Abie-ham sed "What about Sairy? She's darn near ninety and I'm purt neer a hundered. What do you expect."
Every member of his tribe was sore afrayed, but not so much then as mebby afterwards.

The next installment of the ongoing saga of "Olde Charlie Farquharson's Testament"
Things was never too good in Sod'em and they was worse in Begorrah. Sides the usual hanky-panks, sibble war was goin on, and the score was four kings aginst five. Part of that Vally was the pits and som of them Kings jist natcherly fell into it. The rest fled to yer mountings.
Lot got took along with them, poor sod. Abie-ham herd about it. He chased aftr Lot as fur as Dan with 318 train ment. He divvied up his force, dun a smash-and-grab nite job, put them to rout and folleyed in pursoot. He cum back frum Dan plum tuckered but with all Lot's stole goods and Lot too.
The King of Sod'em herd all about this and wanted to meet Abie-Ham. The King of Sail'em too. He was a part-time priest on the side so he brung along bread and wine. He blest Abie-ham fer delivring all them enmys.
Yer Sod'em King sed, Thanks fer delivring my peeple, but you got the goods so keep em. Abie-ham dint want so much as a sandle strap, nobuddy was gonna call him a war profitear. Jist give us our rashins and call it quits.
Gawd come in a double-vision and sed Good work Abie, soon you'll git yer rewards.
Abie-ham sed, I don't like to be pushy, but how kin I found a hole nation when I can't even git started on my own famly?
See them starz, thats how many offspring yer gonna have.
Abie sed it better start soon as he was gettin on.
Sairy was still barn of child, but she had a hired girl name o Hagger. She sed to Abie, it's time to try sumthin else, namely Hagger. Abie harkened to that.
As the sayin goes, he went in, and she cum out of it with child, plus a sneer on her face fer Sairy.
Sairy dint like the sass she was gettin from the hired help, so Sairy kicks out Hagger, regardless of her famly way. Hagger lit out fer the wild parts, but an angel caught her up. Where u goin so fast.
Any place that Sairy weren't.
Angel sed, better git back, Sairy's yer boss and besides, yer carryin the father of yer country. That'd be a reel boy ya got in ya, call him Ish-male. When Hagger bore Ish-male to Abie-ham he was purt neet 86 (that'd be Abie-ham, not Ish-male)

This is from a book I have read "Olde Charlie Farquharson's Testament" - Parry Sound version
It was time to find anuther lone, saltery man whom Gawd could trust. He settled on Abie-ham who had jist come from the city of Er and settled in Haran. He got told to git unsettled and start movin agin.
I'll take care of you and yorn and if anybuddy gives any of youse trouble, will I ever take care of them.
Abie-ham was 75, but he packed up his wife and all his cattels and took the lot with him. Lot was his brother's son, and he came along too.
They passed thru the land of Cane-in without stoppin too long on accounta the place was loaded with Canin-nites.
Gawd sed this here's the land I have picked out fer yer deesendents. Abie-ham marked the spot with an alter. After that he kep going acrost yer Negebb dessert.
Nobuddy in the sand bizness was doin too good, so Abie-ham percyveered as far's Ejippt. Before they went thru Ejippt customs, he sed to his wife Sairy, Yere a good lookin woe-man Sair, these Ejippters will take one look at you and probably knock me off. So if anybuddy askes yer status, say yer my sister.
They sure notissed Sairy them Ejippshuns. They told ther boss Faro bout her. She was ast over.
After Faro dated her, Abie-ham dun well out of it. Sheep, oxin, cammels, menservints, madeservints, not to menshun he and she asses.
Gawd was fit to be tied. He brung plaigs on Faro's house and he let him know why. Faro called Abie-ham ina rush, what are ya doin to me? That was no sister, that was yer wife. Now you take her back and git outa here.
Abie-ham took Sairy and Lot and a lot more back acrost the dessert. He kept all of Faro's presents. He went back to where he set up that alter.
Lot came along so he cud be in the family's way, but he was gittin tired of tag-in-along.
When his cowboys started to fite with Abie's cowboys, he thot is was time to seprate. Abie-ham sed, we're famly let's raise cattel insted of our hands agin each other. Pick yerself out a nice lot, Lot, and I'll make do with the rest.
Lot dun jist that. Quite a spred he picked too. The hole of yer Jordan Valee.
Lot moved his wife and cows to a nice, low green place called Sod'em.

After yer Flud

This is from a book I'm reading "Olde Charlie Farquharson's Testament" Parry Sound version
After yer flud, Noah's boys dint let no genration gap grow below ther feet. They had a flud of ther own - big crop of kinfolk.
First off, Jetpath had sons of his own: Gomer, Maygog, Mad-eye, Javin', Twoball, Me-shack and Tire-as.
Gomer he had a pile too: Ashcan-azz, Rip Path and ToeGarmaw.
It was these fellas popillated yer erth. Some of them even ended up Jentiles, but don't ask me how. Hem, the displeased person, even he had a buncha sons; Cush, Fut, Eijippt, and Canin'. Sounds like they lit out and foundered a few places is still around today.
That was onley a start. They bilt other cities too. Not what we call yer slow developers. Other things devloped too. Mostly peeple becoming crowds. Quite a spred frum one little Ark.
No matter how well-spred they was, they all spoke the same langridge. Most people took a shine to yer plane of Shiner. It was nice, but kinda flat.
Everybuddy sed, let's bild a hy-rise, we got bricks to burn. Let's add morter and fresh slime and mebby the place will reech up to Hevven, keep us in touch with Him. Sorta a community-cation tower.
Gawd came to inspect. He thot peeple were starting to git above themselfs, tryna move into his naberhood. Give them another inch and they'd be thinkin they're roolers.
He put a hex on the Babble rabble and scrabbled ther tongues so they all spoke differnt. When nobuddy could git the hang of anybuddy else's lingo, they climbed offa ther hy-rize and becum seppertists. They all went abroad, becuz everybuddy at home was forners anyways. Don't know what happen to that hy-rize, maybe it becum a ex-comminication tower.
Out of it all come lots of others, but mostly a leeder alled Abie-ham. Abie-ham married Sairy. But she was barn, no childern. Abie-ham decided to try his luck elsewhere, Sairy come along fer the ride.

The next installment from a book I've been reading "Olde Charlie Farquharson's Testament" - Parry Sound Version
The next chapter
"Time" sed Gawd, "You and the good brothers and yer inlaws and all thet livestock, inside. By the by, better make it seven of a kind, sept for the ones what don't clean themselves, jist let two of them in, no sense making more work fer yerselves. And you kin skip the fish, with what's coming they kin take care of themselfs. As fer yer fouls of the air, they kin come in sevens too" (It don't reecord what Noah actually sed to all this, but henhouses is gritty work)
"Once in, I'll turn on the shower. I figger on forty days, incloodin the nites. That should put us over the top"
Noah jist did as he was told. He was six hunert yeers old, and he knew ejuff to come in outa the rain. And the little woe-man and the sons and ther little woe-mans climbed in behind. Folleyed close behind by all them creepin beests and fouls, both yer cleans and yer dirtys.
They hadda line-up 2 by 2, a boy and a gerl frum eech speeshies (I think they fergot bout the sevenses by this time). And it come to pass, water after seven days.
That was Febyouary 17th, accordin to Noah. That'd be the day yer fountings of the deep broke up and the winders of hevven opened with one big splash. It kep up steddy fer close on to six weeks.
That ark floated, thank Gawd. Everythin else went under. Even yer mountings.
As fur as you could see there was water, with bubbles comin up fer a short time. Everybuddy that was left offa the ark got a nosefull and quit. Noah and his bunch was left high and dry.
This went on til July 16. That's a hunert and fifty daze.
Gawd didn't ferget yer arkers. He made a big wind pass over the waters fer to asswage them. He stopped up yet fountings of the deep, and slammed shut the winders of hevven. This cut yer water off.
Lotsa drane-edge fer quite a wile. Dunno where it went. Mebby he made the erth round to take care of all that run-off.
The mountings showed up first and that's where yer ark come to a full stop, top o Mount Arrer-root. Frum then on it was all downhill, but it took ten months fer to disembArk.
Noah was reddy to step out soon's the rain stopped. First thing he dun was open a winder, and glad to do it. He took one of them foul offa ther nest and set it outside. This was one of yer ravins. Fool thing flapped off and never come back.
"Nevermore" thot Noah. He sent off a hoaming pidgin insted (in them daze, pidgins was called yer doves). That dove musta wondered where yer ravin went, becuz there weren't no place to set a dry foot. Noah took her in, wiped her feet, set her out agin a week later. This time she never come empty-footed. It was way after dark but in she come, a olive leef in her beek. Noah figgered somethin was stickin up above yer water-line.
Week later he shove yer dove out agin. This time she never come back. Probly met another dove.
Things was still gummy and gooey. She warn't dry enuff to step out til Feb 27th, morn a yeer since they had all incarserrated therselves.
Finally, gawd sed, "time to rise and shine. Git yer wife and the 3 sons and go forth. Tell every creepy thing the ground is dry, it's time to multiply." They cleared the ark in no time.
Gawd didn't feel like cursing any more. Man was made in his image, but frum now on, he wasn't expecting too much frum him.
He put back all the weather too, yer drys and yer lows yer heet and yer cold so man could be in seesun agin.

The Add'ems famly sarted to spred out after a time on account of it was gittin a little crowded. Main problem was everybuddy was sich long livers they seemed to of hung around ferever. Add'em he got to nine thirty before he let go. That'd be nine hunert and thirty.
There is a buncha versus that is a cattlehog of Add'ems close deesendents that weel jist be skippin. Most o them never had any childrun til they was well past three scored and ten, which shows how shy they was in them days.
The all-time titel-holder for long-timer was a grate grandsun of Add'ems called Methusalaw, clocked out at 969. He got his first boy, Lammick when he was 187. Imagin sittin on the porch fer 782 yeers after that killin time and swattin flies.
Lammick waited til he was 182 befer he has his son Noah, and weel git to that in a bit.
Talk about yer crowds. It come to sich a pass that people was still multyplyin when they were hunerts of yeers old. It warnt a case of wife-swoppin becuz you could have as many as yer wanted. Gawd thot enuff was enuff and put a time-limit on Man of a hunert and twenty yeers, tops.
Men was not only around long in them days, they was big too. Big nothin, they was what weed call Giants. Big in wickedness too. Gawd seen that right off. He was even sorry now he'd started the hole thing. He figgered on canselling mebby four outa that first six days of work.
Everybuddy was to git wiped out. Exsept Noah and all in the famly. Noah was in step with Gawd, just perfect, and lived with Grace.
Noah was proud of Hem, Sham and Jetpath, "my three sons" Gawd seen they was good but fer the rest of the planit, things gerrully looked bout as bad as they do now. Gawd figgered the trubble was plution, and Man was the cheef pluter.
He told Noah, "We have reached the flesh-point, it's time to faze people out. If I was you Noah, I'd git me a Ark" "What's a Ark?" "Never mind, git go-fer wood, quite a few cord, and to make sure she's watertite, make yer pitch all over it. Better be a big one while yer at it. Say three hunert by fifty by thirty cube bits. Git a roof over yer heds, make a winder, and a side door. Better have three story down, to take care of Bee Deck, yer Sea Deck and yer Steeredge. You'll spend a lotta time blowdecks cuz it's gonna be the wet season fer quite sum time, none of that inter-mitten stuff. And Swimmin lessens wont help. Do as I say and yer bunch will be snug as a bug."
The animals has to be took in as well. Jist two of a kind mind. Better make it two of allsorts, of the hole thing will be in vane.
That would be meaning two of every blamed livin thing, inclooding black flys and muskeeters.
Better lode up on supplys too, to last fer a fortynite.
Noah dun it
