Charles R. Stevens Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 so I am on mu way to Fort Wayne to attend Sandy's baby boy's graduation from highschool. 14 hours in a car with two women and a two year old, woo ho! Not! 5 days, no forge, no horses, and dealing with peaple, not my idea of fun. But I have my phone, and therefor internet!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles R. Stevens Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Would love to stop and visit Master Sells, but I'm afraid he might smack me upside the running lights. I seem to have been a bur under his saddle off late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianinsa Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 So Charles, are you planning on playing the number plate game or having a sing a long? If you are doing the sing a long I can give you the lyrics for 10 001 green bottles! Should you need them.Oh what the .... '' There were 10 001 green bottles hanging on the line, an if one green bottle should accidentally fall, there would be 10 000 bottles hanging on the line. And if one green bottle should accidentally fall, there would be 9 999 green bottles hanging on the line. And if one green bottle etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles R. Stevens Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 ian, I fear I would find find my self tied to the hood (bonet) like a large game animal. But then again Sandy is reading nursery rimes to the grand baby... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianinsa Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I wonder if you would be 'face up' or 'face down' I need this info for the ''mental picture'' you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles R. Stevens Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Face down, face to the front I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Think Sandy will voluntarily go for that view? I'd bet on face front crossways to maximize the bug deflector effect for the windshield.I'm pretty sure Deb would use duck tape, she's not so good with knots and wouldn't want to take a chance of me falling in front of her truck. Don't want to damage her truck you know.Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianinsa Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Frosty, I've seen some outfits on 'people of WalMart' that would have Charles look quite 'cute' out front we would just need to persuade him to stop 'saving' them for shopping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I try not to actually LOOK at people at Wallyworld, only just enough to avoid collisions. I'm not about to watch a TV show or video on the subject. <shudder>On subject, I think Sandy will decide on his hood ride attire without our help. If for some reason she's in that kind of mood I don't want to come to her attention, you can drive to our house from there you know.Frosty The Lucky.

Charles R. Stevens Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Yeap, no need to atract the attention of a woman that a man has xxxxxx off, SA might not be far enough for safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Contact Steve. You may be surprised what a fact to face can do to eliminate what you perceive as a problem from the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles R. Stevens Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Honestly I think Steves Aggravation with me is a minor and transient thing (at least I hope so, I like the ol' grouch) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swedefiddle Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 14 Hours with a two year old, means stopping for potty breaks quite regularly. Maybe good for the 'Ol' Goat' too. Instead of being a Hood Ornament, maybe there is room in the Trunk. Oops, I forgot about kids gear. Trunk is for the Kid!!! I think you want to talk to a teenager, something about Ear Buds.Not Bud Light though. LOLNeil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Steve; if he's babbling blues clues or teletubbies just sit him down wind of the coal forges and let him re-tox for a couple of hours.I would strongly suggest bringing hearing protectors for everyone on the trip!

Charles R. Stevens Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) Amazingly, the G-baby rides well. We had an hour long tickle fight that started after she pulled my arm hairs (being just this side of 6 am the women were less than pleased ;-) Edited June 4, 2015 by Charles R.
