An apology to the readers

Several times I have replied to comments made, only to go back later and find that my replies aren’t there. For what ever reason that they didn’t post, I’m sorry. I wasn’t trying to ignore you. I was probably me not being careful. But from now on, I’m paying close attention to detail.

So I will, again, reply to those questions that I thought I answered, but apparently didn’t.

Robin, I don’t know who Suzy Blah Blah is, but she apparently knows Janis and me, or she is doing a very good fake, which is possible. She is definitely from around here, because she knows too many of the local secrets. I love it when she writes. I hope she isn’t offended, but I think she has outstanding dead-pan humor that she delivers without missing a beat. Her twisted sentence structure always fits, and her typo’s are always readable. It’s a real art, if you don’t believe me, try it. Janis always knows when Suzy writes, because it is the only time that I break-out laughing out loud.

Also Robin, I saw Gary Chapman two years ago at a high school class reunion in Laytonville at The Harwood Park Hall, I still call it the skating rink. Penny and Gary Comer catered a multiple class reunion. My mother graduated from Laytonville High School in 1941, so she was invited. I sent my money in and crashed the party. I’m glad that I did. Amazingly, I knew almost everyone there. It was really great for me, because I ran into people that had lost tract of years ago, and was able to re-establish some old friendships. Gary has been living in Ukiah since graduation, he is married and he works for the concrete company down there. He graduated in 61-62(?)

Jim, thanks for the kind words, we’ve come a long way since the days when we would secretly pounce on, and beat the crap out of each other. You’re right, I was just born knowing all that motor stuff. It’s women that I could never understand. I developed several plans to understand Janis, but just when I think that I have her figured out, she changes. So, I content myself with understanding motors. You’re right, they don’t all have to be cheerleaders.

Jim, do you have any pictures of the Forty-horse-power go cart we made? I want to do a post about that.
