So, here's just an example of how bad my taste is in women.
I went to a call the other day where a woman thought that someone was tampering with her house. She took me around showing me minor imperfections in paint, uneven legs on homemade chairs and things that were just normal wear and tear that she though were indications of people being in...

Sittin on the back porch with a Guinness Extra Stout and the hound and listening to Deadbolt. I really need to learn to relax more often.
Tomorrow I'm going to start working on the flathead. Hopefully the problem will turn out to just be a blown head gasket due to warped heads. That can be fixed with a quick trip to the machine shop.

OK, this is probably old news to everyone else, but it's new to me. I was doing a little checking and discovered that the new pope admits to being in the Hitler Youth when he was 14, being an antiaircraft gunner's helper at 16 and being in the Nazi army at 18 just before the end of the war. Now, not to blow things completely...

I made the coolest mess in the world last night.
I came through the door with an arm load of stuff and dropped a 3 liter Diet Coke bottle on the (fortunately stained concrete) floor. It landed just right that it blew the top off the thing. The bottle emptied it's contents in literally a fraction of a second, propelling the bottle into the couch....

Diet Coke seems to have greater explosive potential than regular Coke, I don't know why. My mom used to drink the diet stuff all the time, and I can remember several times when the cab of the truck was covered in the stuff...

Yet another disturbing look into my subconscious-This was this morning's dream:
I was apparently living with my parents (as I often am in my dreams) and everyone had to evacuate the whole area near where I lived due to a volcano erupting. Everyone else left, but I stayed to keep an eye on things because I'd seen a forecast, and the lava wasn't' supposed to...

nice seeing you too! good thing you wore the hat .. narrowed it down
yes, next time i'll not interrupt you while you're in line
i appreciate your comment ... i think i oversimplified my "theoretical male" a little bit too much. for example, i didn't make him capable of feelings. oops!
it's definitely true that when you have feelings for a person - the starry-eyed kind of feelings - it changes the way you look at the world anyway. i suppose in that case, other girls wouldn't measure up ...

I had a good night of drinking with a friend for the first time in far too long last night. This event inspired not just one, but two great ideas:
#1 I should get a tattoo of Tattoo (from Fantasy Island).
#2 I'm going to be rich! I'll open a through the mail DVD porn rental service like Netflix, except it will be called NetTits....

Several things:
Either of those choppers will handle like shit. Hardtails with spindly frames and unreliable engines... You're looking at a two-wheeled version of the hotrod nightmare you're in right now. Ever worked on an old Triumph engine? How about Amal carbs? You sold off a bike that would run circles around either of the examples you've shown me. The VMax had decent brakes, reliable electrics and carbs, somewhat sluggish handling and a whole lot of motor. You're young now, but in a few years you'll appreciate shocks & springs between your kidneys and the rear axle.

My dog is such a big sissy. I tossed her a piece of chicken fat trying to get her to catch it in her mounth...She jumped out of the way and dodged it like it would hurt her. Why would anyone be afraid of this dog?

I still have the original drivetrain out of my '51. I'm thinking of taking it to Obsolete Ford and selling it, as the truck has a 460 and automatic right now...

If you don't have it right now, you'll want a full set of guages on that motor, as many monitoring devices as you can stick on there: tach, oil pressure, oil temp, water temp, vacuum, cylinder head temp (measured with a thermocoupler ring around a spark plug, adapted from aircraft stuff).
Last night I assisted Austin Police Department out with a barricaded subject. No big deal, I just sit out in the dark and point a rifle at the house and wait. Then it started to rain. Then it started to hail. Sitting there getting hailed on sucked almost as much as my vacation last week. Fortunately, I wasn't stuck in the hail too long before...

Turned on the TV and there was a dead pontiff on almost every channel. Now, with my history of being militantly anti organized religion, there are probably a few of you wondering if I may have had a hand in his demise. Just for the record, as far as popes go, I don't think he was a bad guy. He was fairly progressive for someone...

That's tempting, but I'm afraid we'd just compete for the same women all the time... and you have the gun.
With the exception of one incident, this past week has been one of the most disappointing ones I can recall . After the hot rod show, all the cars were driving up and down South Congress in front of the Continental Club. Every now and then one would stop and do a burn out. One truck did a particularly big one that nearly made his...

I just can't believe this. I've been on jury duty all week. It was a sexual assault trial.
I'm so disgusted with Travis County jury's that I feel ill. This transient was found with his pants down around his ankles. He is in a girl's car. The girl has never seen this guy before.
The girl is undressed and unconscious/just barely breathing with this guy...

whoa...that is totally messed up. My job involves being the person that processes the sexual assault kit for DNA evidence.
I'm supposed to be on vacation, but I had jury duty and actually got picked, so I've been at the trial all week....Can't tell you the details till the trial is over.

In order to do this according to the scientific method (I know it's totally insane to try and apply reason to dating women in the first place) you'll need a larger sample and some kind of control group.
Hell, it's just dating, right? Does your department have any kind of official policy regarding employee fraternization? If not, ask the dispatcher to ride out with you again, then stop at Sonic and buy her lunch. Low pressure enough?
Is there a policy that covers fraternization with the eccentric lady with the defective paint?
Bottom line is that you don't want to endanger your employment, yet where else ya gonna meet women?
