COLD DARK ROOM

they say money is the root of all evil.. how's this for coincidence, got an annual review statement from the bank and changes occurred totals... £666 !

Ha de ha.
It's a famous misquotation.
Should be; "The love of money is the root of all evil".
Money's not evil, it's necessary, but loving it to the exclusion of all else, is bad.

Good morning.

Good, morning, Ed.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

She is nearly housebroken now. Nearly.

Wifey, too.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Shopping time! See you al later.

Good afternoon, Lyn!
Hope you got your shopping done.
Especially the cheese.

Yes, I do similar things, but unfortunately, most Moroccans hate reading of any sort, it's not in the culture. They read an average of 8 pages a year. Almost no one reads for pleasure. Very sad.

wow- just, WOW!!!! I cannot IMAGINE a life without reading!!! Even when I was a tiny tot of about 18 months, Mom told me how they'd be in bed, lights out, and she'd hear little sounds from my room. She'd go in to check on me and find me sitting up in my cot with a book, turning the pages and happily "reading" to myself in the dark! Books are a tremendous part of my life, and I'm SO grateful for them! Hurrah for Mr. Gutenberg!!!!

Absolutely, I read every single day, for pleasure and for learning.
It's one of life's greatest pleasures.
I too was reading long before I went to school.
Can't understand how this culture developed, Islam encourages reading, Sura 96 chapter 1 orders it and this was the first order given to The Prophet (PBUH) by Allah, via the Angel Jibrail (Gabriel) .

I'm back as the foreman today. We have three days off this week and three days off next week for the Holidays and most everyone took off the odd four days as vacation.
I, however didn't and am stuck in the office to be a politician and answer the phone, etc.
I've been on Ebay buying way too many motorcycle parts.............

Six days off can't be bad.
And you're helping Ebay and motorcycle parts companies have a happy Christmas.

Sometimes you can buy vintage spare parts when others aren't paying attention. I've been winning bid after bid. Likely because people are preoccupied with Christmas.
I won a good 1972 Kawasaki transmission for $75. It should have been at least $400-$500

Wow!
That is a saving.
But only if you actually need one.

I might eventually. I already have at least six extra whole tranny assemblies and another giant box of spare gears, shifter forks, etc.
The thing is, they are not made anymore and once they're gone, they're gone.

I wheel and deal with them on the Kawi Triples forum.

Not one I am personally au fait with.

It's a forum dedicated to keeping a certain "CULT" motorcycle alive.
Primarily the 1972-1975 Kawasaki H-2.
An ancient, yet fearsome machine.

Bit like my microwave.

How are you feeling this morning? Sorry to hear you're poorly!

Much better than yesterday, bit still a bit rough.
How are you today ?

I wonder what caused you to feel bad. I'm fine ready for Thursday already so I can have a couple days off

Yes, I've got just one more lesson tomorrow and then a week off !
Food poisoning I think.
