THE BUD_LOG
Monday 13 August 2001 Bud_Light attended a VFW meeting returning at 2239 and was proud of himself when he turned on the front porch light with his 440 signal. Tuesday 14 At 1233 HJC was once again sighted by Bud_Light Fisher while driving north without ears on. Jerry explained that he was on ECARS during the previous offenses near IPG. Attached is image HJC.JPG with a mystery guest (known only to hams probably) in the center between Jerry and the fair Claire. (No, the gentleman is not Elly without the beard.) BTW, your editor intends to shortly become RAM King among the Buds with 512Mb. After the $19.95 mail-in Tiger rebate the cost will be only the $8.95 Airborne Express fee. The Olney girls now have a fourth kitty whose face resembles a Siamese yet she has a strong voice. At 4:25 PM Don N1EDF checked into the Bud_Repeater which was a considerable honor. It was not so nice however when Bud_Light said that he sounded like a woman on a pager, hi. Eats Dead Fish can "take it". Our Head_Bud appeared at the OPD for the swearing-in ceremony as Recreational Policeman. When asked, Chief NoYes stated that this position will be called to duty in time of war. (Those guys used to ride snowmobiles and were indispensable after the Biizzard of '78.) Wednesday 15 0945 "A 3-foot oil slick is in front of the back door of The Hall. Dennis wants it covered before it's tracked into the Hall", according to Bud_Bark at the Town Barn. (Bud_Bark is our tree surgeon.) A highway employee was assigned to take one bag of Speedi-Dry or possibly dump a bucket of sand near the door reserved for icy steps with the final decision to be made on the scene. Mrs. Bud_Light is now on vacation with the old gent left home to do work because he did not take his NYC singles vacation usually spent aboard the USS Intrepid. Jim and our Bud_Selectman (Ret.) were on the Post Office firing range. Greg thought that his handgun's barrel was bent but Jim hit three bullseyes with it. Later in the evening Jim shot 25 clay pigeons in a row at the Singletary trap-shooting range. This was using a Model 12. When Canada goose season opens next month Jim may be able to help with the IPG problem. Those birds are said to be tough so a 10-gauge could be used. Thursday 16 From Florida today the Keg Family submitted digital images ofBudweiser Clydesdales at the Busch Gardens and Mrs. Keg ran across a Shamu-bug at Sea World. Friday 17 Your editor is now trying out new gunmetal-frame eyeglasses as well as a small RCA remote control from Staples which can run your tube, VCR and cable box; the regular price is $2.95. The customer must supply two (2) AAA cells. The Buds put up the Eggbeater antennas at 16 Charlton Street. Saturday 18 On the last lawn-mowing lap the Allis-Chalmers tractor conked out. Who happened along but your Head_Bud himself who got her going by choking. The main-jet needle was removed and she seems OK again however her oiled-foam air filter is badly in need of service. (Fortunately Bud did not see that!) Bud and Budette had dined at the 99 Restaurant and there was an outbreak of frogs within the confines of the S-10 pickup. Poor Budette!!! Bud said that Eats Deaf Fish checked into the Bud_Repeater. The P&D Oxford House of Pizza has been raised to the four-star level on the basis of the following written testimonial. To: k1otw@arrl.net Sunday 19 This morning Bud checked out the IPG fireworks setup and has been volunteering at Founders Day/Celebration Oxford by parking cars and testing pizza, etc. He pronounced the day "one hot momma"! At ~1600 Bud went on a power nap and explained that this has always been his custom and was perfected in the Navy when naps were taken by 80% of the ship's crew at noon after eating on the mess deck. Due to the motion of the ship there was never difficulty in falling asleep at sea. Bud_Light is installing a new front door on Bird Court. WPX's dinner menu was the best meat loaf ever, beets, corn on cob and her specialty roasted segments of large-potato-cut-on-a-chord longitudinally with hide left on and spiced to a fare-thee-well. Dessert was pineapple upside-down cake. Mmmmmmm-MMM as Sheriff Andy Taylor used to put it! Daughter Lenore was guest of honor. Mr. Naramore was watching the heartbreaker Red Sox in the summer living room so was not much interested in the doll carriage parade. For the record, the $2.98 RCA remote control works their Scientific-Atlanta cable box. Jim reported eating too much at the Post Office Clambake held at Singletary Rod & Gun Club where there were lobsters, steamers, corn on the cob, watermelons and plenty of 807's. Bud commented that Jim is one of those people who are well hydrated. At 9 PM Bud's IPG fireworks were mighty pretty from a distance of two miles and displayed for 15-16 minutes. Neighbor Solomon threw on every light possible to "enhance" the viewing. Bud was right at the entrance to the firing line, you know. He expected a well-marked GI ordnance truck or something and the explosives arrived in a Ryder rental. ..........................
