THE BUD_LOG
Monday 16 July 2001 As to the question of seeing no time clock at IPG, our Head_Bud stated that those who work >80 hours per week do not punch in/out. The Doctor of Democracy signed a contract worth $250,000,000 running to 2009. He told listeners that the IRS is to get half, without a contract. Well being a head-of-household he ought to get his $600 tax rebate anyhow. (He always was financially astute since he chose a trade requiring no costly toolbox.) Tuesday 17 At 1348 Jim with a "tally ho" was off to the Post Office despite a light drizzle even working overtime due to the large volume of mail. "Keep Buying Those Stamps" is his motto. There is to be a military-vehicles show at the 200 Sportsmen's Club this weekend. Kielbasa and beans is the OTW menu today. Wednesday 18 E-mail was forwarded to the president/CEO of the Brooks Pharmacy requesting to either stock Snapple or cease teaser-sale advertising. Brooks' headquarters appears to be in Canada. Bud signed out never having announced that he was in. Thursday 19 Eric's Limousine Service occupies advertising space on Shaw's shopping carts. 84,000 USPS managers are to be rewarded with whopping bonuses; this is your hutzpah! Friday 20 In the K-Mart OTW purchased a new corn broom assembled in Mexico. How can they manufacture and sell a decent broom for $3.50? Two hardware clerks had never heard of manila rope (and to tell you subscribers the truth did not seem interested in the fact that it is a natural fiber). Click on the Collegiate Thesaurus tab to look up the current word in the thesaurus.Doing his part to make the USPS solvent again OTW purchased 100 Peanuts stamps. (Where do we figger the coil of 100 stamps ordered on-line last Christmas went?) Budette reviewed P&D Pizza which is tentatively rated "good" and is pushing "very good" but quality seems variable. A large antipasto was excellent a couple of times so far. As is customary with antipasto they give the customer two pockets of tasteless bread which did not rise so probably to be used as bird feed..
Saturday 21 FEEDME.JPG is attached; Norm snapped it of the three KEY-robin offspring with eyes not yet opened. Sunday 22 At 0930 Bud reported a female wild turkey near the swimming pool. "The Boys" were not impressed and had to be held back. Jim was ready to grab it for dinner but Bud said too much work to pluck so better to buy in market. At 1102 Bud stated that the heat wave has begun then reported following a red S-10 with Mass reg. 9156JN (Juliet November phonetics for those voters in West Palm Beach) and a "Sparky's Gun Shop" bumper sticker. This vehicle exited the K-Mart parking lot. Bud could not stop driver for going 46 mph since his Blue-Light Permit has expired. Bud lost an R-1000 by a matter of 50 cents. Bud's and Jim's shelves are so empty that they need more receivers like your editor needs a larger waist. Jay N1GKI is at Loudon today.. NOTICE TO HAMS: At 4:30 PM the Bud_Repeater returned to the air with antenna on barn but at less than full height. Budette tested it for high- frequency response and Bud_Son Shawn tested for mid-range. Due to the expected popularity it is asked that calling stations say "This is" then drop carrier to check for doubling then check-in in alphanumeric order pse. Hi. (One of the users had been monitoring for some time on the wrong frequency.) Trustee Bud has abided by the League's advice to be patient by waiting for fourteen (14) months for instructions from the new, "busy" 440 frequency coordinator - and is still waiting. On a "60 Minutes" rerun we learned from Andy Rooney that a Hansom Cab ride in Central Park costs $68 per hour. At 9:11 PM, Bud_Houston was on an "807 run".
