Smartie's Bar & Grill #70

Did you get a shot of the Lunar eclipse the other night?

 

We just had a storm blow through Monday so the temps are pretty low yet. Highs about 65 this week.

 

I didn’t, I run on chicken time.

 

Closer to pancho Barnes and chuck yeager.

 

Bummer. I didn't know about it until the next day.

 

A mule goes with 80 acres, what then goes with 40?

I put in an offer in 40 wooded acres, 2b/1b house, 60x40 shop, with a hobby type sawmill. Offer was accepted verbally, once I get it in writing, my bride and I are hopping a plane to Idaho to check it out.

 

Highland Cattle.

 

It's being reported that a Meteor struck the Moon at the time of
the lunar eclipse and was captured on camera..It was just a white speck.
But it was some kind of first.
Hell I got that beat.I actually saw a Martian toss his { it was a he Martian }
cookies when it was filming the Historic Moon Landing in July of '69.
Martians are filming ALL us right now.
Even when in our bathrooms and robes.They've figger'd out a way
to erase them bathrobes and make Mankind look silly.Especially when
we brush our teeth and wipe our arse.
Kinda like the old - Candid Camera - TV series.

 

Um ... fir the record.Where does a mule go with 80 acres.?
Back to it's frat dorm.
Or out bar-hopping.Since it was pay day.

 

Reparations, 80 acres and a mule.

 

Sometimes Me satire can grate on even my own nerves.
Just saw a really marvy Video on YouTube titled :
- Sawing a Ponderosa Pine - from 2013 lasting a nice 20 minutes.
It features a Very old fashioned yet stupendous Saw Mill with
all the fixin's.Big old steam powered boiler and huge belts driving
very rugged machinery that needs oiling from nice oil cans.
Takes time to warm up the works and adjust the huge tree with the
right proper weight distribution and cutting angle.
The Saw Mill was named Philipps Brothers Mill and Box Factory.
The wood would be used for custom built homes and expensive
furniture.I remember watching a video of a guy { older man } who
did this all by his lonesome with a chainsaw and careful placement
and years of experience.he had it down to a virtual science.
With weight leverage and measurements being the key.

 

I have driven through that Valley quite a bit. What is the nearest community to you.

 

I was the agent for a former Air Force officer that told me how he flew Chuck Yeager from the West Coast to Washington DC. He sought a career as an airline pilot. For a short time he had one. But when I sold him his first home, he was then a contract administrator for a Defense industry firm.

I sold him the home around 1983. At that time, due to his AF flying time being in the 4 engine prop aircraft, he had problems hooking up with airlines lacking jet time.

 

I live in Tehachapi, work on Edwards AFB.

 

I dunno.This Satirist bidness shorn done gots it's Up's and
Down's.Not some piece of cake like Makin Bishop or some
Cardinal.Where their offices are of the finest wood paneled
mahogany or cherry.All they gotta do is ring their little church
bell { preferably not with their Ring hand on account the weight
of that ring }.
Be that as it may ... There does exist a problem with bein' one
them Satirist.It called a Superego or one's superego.
Unless someone has dual superegos.Like many a Hollywood
movie star,nowadays.Like Robert De Niro before he shaves for
a movie role.Or maybe Ratzo Rizzo { Enrico Salvadore Rizzo }
when attending a fancy soire at some upper manhattan Loft
and he kinda looks like sh!t.Welll not kinda.
So the other day I hear me Superego say to me :
" There's your strength,son.You've got the way of
puttin' things earthy so anybody can understand them.
I warn ya,I'm gonna use ya.
I'm gonna run you ragged! " -- Midnight Cowboy

So's I tell me Superego.Say Bub,first off it ain't Midnight.
And 2nd off ... I ain't a Cowboy.
So the Superego snaps back as fast as a Sachel Paige knuckle ball.
First off,Just Who do you think you are.?
I said ... Who's on first Bub.
And superego say's ... What.?
No ... what is playing 2nd today,I said.
Second what ? asks the superego.
2nd fiddle you knucklehead.

 

Good morning from your friendly neighborhood shut-in. Ive learned something during the last month... daytime TV sux.

No need to be confused.....they got the kind that they can tie around your ankles.

 

I get that you like spike heels. I just think they're dumb.

Sorry.

 

Cmon now.....you got to hand it to the guy who came up with the idea.

You hangin' in OK?

 

Yeah, thx for asking. Getting a little bored, but otherwise doin OK. Got an email yesterday thanking me for my patience and perseverance. Relieved it didnt say 'don't come back.'

 

Likely the same twit who thought wired bras were a good idea.

 

Beats a softball in a tube sock.

 

Nah, that was a woman who came up with that idea. New Yorker on top of it.

New Yorker Marie Tucek

The precursor to the underwire bra can be traced back to at least 1893, when New Yorker Marie Tucek was granted a patent for a "breast supporter". The breast supporter was described as a modification of the corset, and was very similar to a modern push-up bra designed to support the breasts. It consisted of a plate made of metal, cardboard, or other stiff material, shaped to fit against the torso under the breasts, following the contour of the breasts. It was covered with silk, canvas, or other cloth, which extended above the plate to form a pocket for each breast. The plate curved around the torso and ended near the armpits, held in place and adjusted to a snug fit by shoulder straps that crossed the back, forming an X-shape. It was secured with hook-and-eye closures.[3][4]

The underwire bra design emerged and took hold in the United States starting in the 1930s. Helene Pons received a patent in 1931 for a brassiere design that incorporated an "open-ended wire loop" that lay flat against the chest, encircling the bottom and sides of each breast.[5] A 1932 patent describes a U-shaped piece of wire used between the cups to keep the breasts separated.[6] A patent issued in 1938 to Pauline Boris describes a "breast support" which used pieces of wire to entirely encircle each breast.[7] In 1940, Walter Emmett Williams was issued a patent which described a wire framework, shaped like a spiderweb, that encircles and covers each breast to provide support.[8] Although development of the underwire bra started in the 1930s,[9] it did not gain widespread popularity until the 1950s, when the end of World War II freed metal for domestic use.[10][11]

In the 1940s, Howard Hughes had an underwire push-up bra designed for Jane Russell to emphasize her breasts in The Outlaw. According to Russell, the "ridiculous" contraption was painful and she secretly wore her own bra during the movie. The brassiere is now in a Hollywood museum.[11]

With the popularity and widespread use of the underwire bra that started during the 1950s, the underwire was incorporated into many bra designs, and underwire bras were built into other articles of clothing. By 1990, Norma Kamali had incorporated underwire bras into both one- and two-piece (bikini) swimsuits.[12] Scott Lucretia was granted a patent for a camisole with an integrated underwire bra in 1989.[13]

Underwire bras accounted for 60% of the United Kingdom bra market in 2000[14] and 70% in 2005.[15] In 2001, 500 million bras were sold in the United States, of which approximately 70% (350 million) were underwire bras.[3][16] As of 2005, underwire bras were the fastest growing segment of the market.[17]…..snip~
