THE BUD_LOG
Monday 7 May 2001 At 1000 otw was at Dr. Guarnieriani appointment where B.P. = 128/70. A 2nd "lifetime" pneumonia vaccine shot was administered. Kathie Lee was hauling boxes of files and telephones were jangling. The Oxford Town Meeting was called off after the second failure to count a quorum of voters in attendance despite the enticement of Mrs. Bourbeau's home-baked cookies. (Needed here to attract attention is another "brilliant" concept such as the Cat Licensing Law.) Tuesday 8 May Head_Bud neither confirmed nor denied that he is working on W's Star Wars components. Wednesday 9 May Raking was FINISHED today, wheelbarrow parked in the cellar and birdbath cleaned with brass brush/whitewall zoomp so is ready for customers, ill-mannered as they are. Florida butter & sugar sweet corn from the Park n' Shop was very tasty! Thursday 10 May 0804, Bud_Light = home from the dog hairdresser. Chicken croquettes (with help from Howard Johnson) being an OTW favorite was dinner. Head_Bud informed the Log that Bud_Daughter Sue is taking delivery of a new Toyota today. Friday 11 May The Allis-Chalmers mower deck was re-assembled today. The KEY HF vertical antenna was forwarded from storage in Bud_Light's garage to Jim's budding ham. Saturday 12 May Bud_contratulations go to Tracy and Bud_Oscar to be married today in Kennebunkport! Bud_Oscar is the loudest snorer on Field Day whose tent was once dragged off some distance from other sleepers. Bud_Light and the Mrs. Elizabeth's first vacation of 2001 begins today with a flight to Myrtle Beach. The USPS can be proud: anticipating that three packages would not be delivered before the vacation began they were shipped to Fremont Street however all arrived by Friday via (word means "by way of" for those voters in West Palm Beach) Priority Mail. Jim KD1BX and his new ham KB1EUU Joe were heard heading to HRO in New Hampshire (the candy store) where Jim purchased an iambic keyer. Tom Snyder is 65 years old today. On his Web site it was learned that his Social Security benefit will be $1,507 monthly after lifetime contributions of $185,000 by him and his employers. (It must be nice to be in such financial position to belittle this amount as a pittance!) The A-C mower deck was mounted on the tractor and test run made as a thunderstorm approached. Altho the two outer blades are now turning at 3/4 of the center blade's RPM the cut surface looked decent. The gusty winds pulled the TV cable hook from the OTW Estate. The hook appears to have been screwed into only a clapboard. For the record, the adjacent original telephone hook has not failed since 1920 as far as is known.. The storm downed a few trees requiring mobilization of Oxford's tree surgeon Bud_Bark. Head_Bud is in tough shape for a while due to rebuilding of the Dunkin' Donuts like the legendary phoenix. http://www.petoftheday.com This site may be interest to pet lovers. Sunday 13 May A small crisis was averted when Budette's modem "took a Leroy" - and on Mother's Day too. With computer guru Bud_Light on vacation Bud went to Wal*Mart for a replacement product which saved the day. When asked if he intends to subscribe to Charter Cable's broadband service the response might be represented as @#$%^&*+. Jim took "the bride" to a 5-star chicken barbecue at the Legion Hall and then was heading to the Home Depot for flowers. The Bud_Net starred WB3CUU/1, WA3KEY, WA3RXP and KD1BX with your editor monitoring as much as possible in an S-9 noise level. Dick W3SON was said to be traveling in Colorado when heard on yesterday's All_Deans Net. BTW, your Head_Bud is an honorary Dean. Norm sent up the attached photo of his neighbor's new livestock out for a stroll in the squad formation down a nice quiet country road. If you were listening to the Bud_net, you heard that my neighbor ..........................
