"It's sure cold outside"! "Well, whatcha think dummy? It's wintertime!"

Had to go look at some furnace parts, ductwork, a/c coil boxes etc and most friz my big old ugly nose in the process. Decided I'ds seen enough in that unheated storage building-loaded some stuff up and came home. Sure is good to be inside where the split chick'n breasts are slowly boilin awaitin me to throw in the vegs or noodles or just to et'm like they are.

An older man [70ish] navy vet, almost blind, needin a furnace for his mobile home and havin a little steam engine----! He gave me the littel "steamer" because he couldn't see to run it anymore. I was wantin a new bigger furnace for our modular---solution? Yessir! I'm givin him our five year old furnace [yeah, I said GIVE] and I'm fix'n to put in a new 90plus when warm weather hits---unless his old furnace gives up the ghost before then!

Noticed on the way home--I got behind a school bus that was stopped on the highway. Nobody in sight, bus runnin and all the lights workin, the "stop" sign out. Traffic was startin to back up a mite when finally somebody got off the bus [a lady in her 30's?] walked across the highway towards a house. A little dude came runnin, coat flappin, book carrin back pack almost fallin off, trippin and almost fallin down in the yard. She retrieved'm and they both headed towards the school bus. I was really tickeled to see all that confusion and the little tyke so "shook up". I didn't even get "road rage" over this but some of the other cars waitin were gettin ancey.

Anyhow, they got onboard and fired up the big diesel bus and headed towards town. I was just a think'n about how ineffecient some folks are. A 50,000 dollar bus [?] to haul one little dude that didn't weigh much over 40 pounds, hold'n up probably 40 tons of iron, called cars and pickups, when a small bus could've been used. Even a van would've worked. Well anyhow, I thought it was kinda funny to notice all the things goin on there but I doubt if anybody else even noticed. Me smart? No, not really. I do take the time to look beyond the hood of Lil Dumplins pickup and see what nobody else is interested in. I'm always wantin to get my mind off drivin enought that my old mind don't have to contend with other folks and their drivin habits.

Jesus is comin soon folks. Are you ready?
