Well I know I was cryin in my beer about my Wallet going AWOL...
Dang crazy thang just walked off all by it's self... Yepp...
Can't say I blame my wallet for runnin away from home...
First time It had any green stuff in it in Months...
Probably took that eleven dollars and went to Mexico...
I hear tale ya can get a lot of stuffins for eleven dollars south
the border...
Dang if it's frugal it can make a whole week....
WOW....
Well I got a bright Idea... I'll make a new wallet... Yeppers
I'll cut up some old blue jeans and make a denim wallet... just like my check book cover... Only better...
I got this fancy sewing cabinet at yard sale for five dollars... and I have a brand spankin new sewing machine I got thru them fingerhuttin peoples...
Paid a whoppin 100 dollars for this new sewin machine... Real doooozy
Started sewin the denim together, and wanted to do some dat fancy stitchin round the edge...
Well after a couple messups. I got it to workin... this is like the third time i used this machine....
Iwann to change the thread and bobbin....
Why they call that a bobbin?
Don't much look like it bobbin to me...
Oughta call it the mystry thingamogiggie...
cause it a mystery to me why I never get it to work...
Yeppers everytime I chang thread, funky chit happens...
then the needle breaks.. Oh I flipped some little lever,while tryin to see if the thread was gonna sew...
HOW the hell do that thread get out of the needle with out brreakin??
To bad my old singer had a stroke...
I don't understand this new machine...
It's paid for so I might have to use the old three pound hammer on it..
Yepp I'm gonna do open cover surgery on the dang thing... see the bobbin thingy wont release so you can fill the bobbin, and it quit sewin all together...when I changed thread, Yeah i tried the tention thingys, and
Where the heck is that owners manual any way...
Oh horse feathers it's in french.... no chit

All the dances cause blindness, turns the enemy to stone.. while the other two girls kick em to the curb...
well it is a silly game...
Oh they never get dirty... always so spify clean no matter how bad they get their butts kicked...
Gee at least when you doing road rage ya car gets banged up...

Oh I let go real quick...she was not a happy camper... running from the elephant, straight towards a bunch of toddlers..so I grabbed her tail.... i knew this tiger, she was mostly gentle, I said mostly lol.. not ratnow...
As gentle as I was she turned and gave me that, ifins you don'tlet go my tail... I'm takin you out to lunch.... Look... okay here's ya tail back... nice tail... nice kitty.....
Then she saw a open truck topper and jumped inside,
I closed the door...
and the owner was all mad at me cause she left him some suprises inside...
But that wasn't in texas lol Trenton New Jersey at the time...
I was thinking bout Texas other day...
The way the sun hits sometimes during the summer you see cities of Gold..
Yepp.. I lived in Central Texas just north of Austin, Round Rock to be more eggzackly... Way out to the eastern side of Williams county... Coupland Texas, Driving 4o miles to work every moaning, the sun would turn all them little towns into cities of Gold... Always made me thing bout those Texas history lesson and how the Spanish were always looking for that Gold..
All my ex's live in Texas.... well she do... one's enuff right... I mean gee... more than one ex... that sound scary....
Well I'm glad I can still wander around in my memories... I be smilin too about the funny ones. Be in awe about the ones that have faded away... Sad about the ones that show how badly we bee treatin Mother Nature... See them Horny toad dang near gone. like those little black bird that use to blot out the sun because the numbers were so great.

Russ,
One thing I learned the hard way with sewing machines is you cant use cheap thread on them like the kind you get at walmart.The thread gets fraid and knots up in the bobbin.
Get you a good spool of thread like coats & clark makes good strong thread.Costs maybe 2 dollars and change its much better to sew with and less problems.

I hear ya there, I really miss that old 1869 White pedal sewing machine... now there was a machine, You\'d never guess how many quilt tops that thing sewed... Yepp grandma taught me to make quilt tops.. I still have two of the ones we made... the Quilt that is... hand sewn too... big old ugly stitches hehehe.. but it\'s mighty warm on cold wisconsin winter nites...
made throw ruggs on that old white too.. well I did some tinkerin, and it\'s in the sorry craftman ship of the machine there is a looose part. on the sewing arm it adjust the downward stroke of the needle... Now i just have to figure out what that is... and adjust it geesh... why can\'t it be like a lawn mower lol
Hmmm thats interesting you making quilt tops.Thats an art I cant even do LOL.My mom had one of those pedal type sewing machines too.She made a lot of me and my sisters clothes on it.I used to love to play on that old machine as a kid.
My sister pat has it now she doesnt use it but keeps it because it was my moms.Those were reliable machines nothing to break down no electric plug ins just oil it up and go.Maybe replace a belt once in a while.I wonder why everything has to be so complicated these days since we have proven that simplicity is better over all.
It\'s alive... well it sews lol... adjusted that thingamogigga I was talkin about, and WA LA... it sews.... got the bobbin thingy to workin too... It needed grease and oil... this one sorry made machine... inside the case it\'s rough and has real jagged edges had to take my dremel to some and grind em down so any way... some oil and put the grease on the gears where it belongs and it\'s a keeper...
