Goodly morning all... Smiley

Late evening last night as we got called to go to a unscheduled General Meeting at the bugsmasher field late yesterday afternoon.

I would say we had seventy percent attendance.

The meeting was called to replace two large bay windows overlooking the water which is a good half mile away.� The one window has a crack from the top right corner almost three feet to the middle.� No one seems to know what happened but it looks like it was hit from ice or something from outside the building.
Now there is nothing wrong with the second window other than to replace the one bay window with a normal window we could do both windows for the price of the bay window and it would look better than having one of each.

Well that took a good hour to debate and then it happened... Roll Eyes

Several of the nattering nannies decided they wanted the club house dusted and cleaned once a week even if it was by a maid service which we would have to pay for.... Roll Eyes

Those nattering nannies have no idea how long it took us Old Retired Rocking Chair Flying Geezers to accumulate all that dust.
I can tell you it was at least four months... Smiley
And each particle of dust was a flying object and landed right where we wanted it... Tongue

Ridiculous I tell you, once that dust is moved about it will land� on the floor and then they will want the floor swept and mopped... Shocked

It all started when the old girl and the nattering nannies wanted indoor plumbing.� No the good old two holer was not good enough for them...I even put a lantern in the two holer so the seats would be warm during the winter... Smiley

Then they wanted running water and hot water yet in the clubhouse... Roll Eyes
Another expense we did not need but we did it to keep them happy... Roll Eyes� � Tongue

The old girl and the nattering nannies wanted a gravel parking lot with patio stones laid to the clubhouse door... Undecided
There was nothing wrong with the mud and grass parking lot and we had a well worn path to the door but we put gravel on the parking lot and patio stones down... Roll Eyes

Now the coffee and tea cups, well that is another thing.
They had cupboards built to hide them behind with the plates.
Now several of us spent a hour or two with a good bottle of wobbly pop to put all those nails in the wall in a straight line to hang those cups on... Roll Eyes

Then came an oil furnace and ceiling fans with recessed lighting, the wood stove was not good enough or were the kerosene lamps, we had to have hydro installed... Sad� �Tongue

Now they want to pay someone to clean the place... Tongue� � Lips Sealed

I am telling you folks, we are slowly losing grassroots aviaton if things keep going like this.

Very soon we won't be able to put a bottle of wobbly pop on the bullshit table and tell tall tales just in case someone comes in... Shocked� �� Roll Eyes� �� Tongue� �� �Lips Sealed

It is just not right...I tell you... Grin

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Sorry Doug, far be it from me to correct you, but I'm pretty sure you cannot use wobbly pop and straight line in a sentence! I'll get back to you on that one...hickup� Undecided


"Very soon we won't be able to put a bottle of wobbly pop on the bullshit table and tell tall tales just in case someone comes in",
Oh to be a fly on the wall next to the bullshit table...sigh! Sad

One more year left of Marine Corps service and then Larry and I will neighbors.  Just realized that.  The old lady and I are moving to Alabama not this spring but next spring.  If push comes to shove, I might be joining Larry and Doug for a wobbly in Mississippi  Grin
