I had a question that I had been trying to figure out for years and it was driving me crazy. It took me a few days after I got there but I finally found the wild haired ole crazy kook. Doc! I said, how many pounds of beans to I need to eat to get me and my roller skates up to 88 mph?<br /><br />View from the past<br /><br />for<br />Sliders Sunday HSS<br /><br />PS.<br />It's two pounds by the way.

I nodded and quietly asked, You ready? He slowly bobbed his head up and down in the affirmative and that was when I reached out and grabbed his helicopter and chucked him through the air. Over the fence he flew like a grand old Eagle flipping head over tails.<br /><br />Everything was fine until the words, OH COOL, wafted over from the other side of the fence. Hopping up and down to see who uttered those words and why, I saw a little kid holding my helicopter in his dirty, grimy, little hands. I hollered to the boy to give me back my toy, He gave me the finger instead, said something about my mother and ran off. Quickly I pulled myself over the fence and landed with all the grace of the last Dodo face first in the dirt. I brushed myself off and gave pursuit! Two hours later and about 100 feet into the desert I caught up with the little monster and ... Well, that's when he beat me up and kept my toy helicopter.<br /><br /> Obviously, I'm never going to tell THIS story to anybody.<br /><br />View plotting how to get your toys back from little kids<br /><br />for<br />Our Daily Challenge: Reflections<br /><br />Sliders Sunday: HSS</p>Innocent Owner Of Mad Catshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10768102376768991842noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228262513881125906.post-13655280235000380492014-03-08T08:06:00.001-08:002014-03-08T08:06:57.941-08:00The Treasure Hunt<div style="margin: 0 0 10px 0; padding: 0; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 1.6em;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hbmike2000/13012025394/" title="The Treasure Hunt"><img src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3412/13012025394_87c6b1033d.jpg" alt="The Treasure Hunt by hbmike2000" /></a><br/><span style="margin: 0;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hbmike2000/13012025394/">The Treasure Hunt</a>, a photo by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hbmike2000/">hbmike2000</a> on Flickr.</span></div><p><i>Via Flickr:</i><br />Keys ...

This is a plastic mold for one of the new Transformers that starts off as a Chevy HHR. The body will be a 30 foot pile of crap and it ... I lost you at that last part, didn't I. Well, it IS part of a Chevy HHR. It is the rubber piece that fits inside the key/alarm remote. As you can see, my very handy Spouse tried to fix it cause it stopped working. And now I got a new play thing to photograph cause it's never going to work again. Or the other one my handy spouse broke too.<br /><br />Come on, admit it, YOU thought it was really a Transformer for just a second.<br /><br />(don't get me wrong, Chevy is a good car but they did a BIG misstep with the HHR. It literaly falls apart and has the oddest problems like not wanting to shift out of Park for an hour or two for no apparent reason.

The others were "Pikes Peak" (now preserved at the Forney Museum in Denver), Sopris Peak, and Twin Peak.<br /><br />The car was air conditioned in the 1930's with an ice system, and modernized with gasketed windows to seal the interior.<br /><br />The car was used on such trains as the "Royal Gorge", "The Exposition Flyer", and several others until the advent of the streamlined "California Zephyr" in 1941. After that the car was assigned mainly to "The Prospector" until it was retired out of service in 1969.<br /><br />The Castle Peak was donated to the Joshua Tree and Southern Museum in the early '70s and trucked to it's resting place from the Southern Pacific railhead in Indio.<br /><br />The Car is now used as an interpretive display, giving our visitors a glimpse of what exquisite railway dining was like in the golden era of travel.<br /><br />Oh, and on occasion they have and Event called Dinner On The Diner.</p>Innocent Owner Of Mad Catshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10768102376768991842noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228262513881125906.post-26348926775107771622014-02-13T16:08:00.001-08:002014-02-13T16:08:45.378-08:00Plucking Clouds From The Sky<div style="margin: 0 0 10px 0; padding: 0; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 1.6em;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hbmike2000/12509806505/" title="Plucking Clouds From The Sky"><img src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5471/12509806505_f32fc093dd.jpg" alt="Plucking Clouds From The Sky by hbmike2000" /></a><br/><span style="margin: 0;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hbmike2000/12509806505/">Plucking Clouds From The Sky</a>, a photo by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hbmike2000/">hbmike2000</a> on Flickr.</span></div><p><i>Via Flickr:</i><br />You know those 'feel good' days where you feel you can just reach up and pluck a cloud out of the sky?
