Schmidt Meister's Grab Bag

[Schmidt Meister]

This past weekend the better half and I went to Steinhatchee and I ate way more than my share of Oysters Rockefeller. These things are my kryptonite. I CANNOT say no. My wife gags at the thought of 'em.

Watson Lake in AZ. My wife and I dream of retiring and moving west. We love FL but we love the desert and the western open areas. My wife is a rock freak.

A man goes to a government Job Fair to apply for a job.

After covering several items on the interview list, the interviewer asks him, “Are you allergic to anything?”

He replies, “Yes, caffeine. I can’t drink coffee or caffeinated drinks.”

Interviewer then asks, “Have you ever been in the military?”

“Yes,” he says, “I was in Iraq for one tour.”

The interviewer tells him that will give him points towards employment.

Then he asks, “Are you disabled in any way?”

The man says. “Yes. A mine exploded near me and I lost both my testicles.”

The interviewer grimaces and then says, “That gives you enough points for me to hire you right now.”

“Our normal hours are from 8 A.M. to 4 P.M. You can start tomorrow morning at 10 A.M. and work until 4 P.M. That will be your schedule every day.”

The guy is happy but he asks, “If the work day starts at 8 A.M. why are you having me come in at 10?”

“Well, this is a government job”, the interviewer says. “For the first two hours we just stand around drinking coffee and scratching our balls. No reason for you to come in for that.”

You guys have probably seen these before. I used to do these things all the time to try and keep the mind sharp. Now my wife has advised me that it didn't work and I wasted my time (lol). I hope that you can enjoy working them out. Some are good and some suck. I will post the answers tomorrow ... if I can remember.

Most Excellent.  Thanks.

The Great Seal of The Unites States with a pyramid, eagle, Latin phrases, etc. has been reproduced on the reverse side of every American dollar bill, but few in America know what these symbols mean. The key to understanding the meaning behind all of these symbols is found in the translation of the Latin phrase "NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM," ("The New World Order") found underneath the pyramid on what is known as the Reverse Side of the Great Seal. Ralph Epperson has spent 27 years in researching the history of the two sides of the Great Seal, and has discovered that those who designed them committed America to what has been called "A Secret Destiny." This future "destiny," called THE NEW WORLD ORDER, is so unpleasant that those who wanted the changes it entails had to conceal that truth in symbols. This book, THE NEW WORLD ORDER, is the amply documented explanation of what those symbols mean and how they connect to this nation's future. Mr. Epperson is making his research available to the American people so that they may know just what these planners wanted for our future. And so that they can take corrective action.

When I can find some nice big ones, preferably from Apalachicola Bay, I usually end up hurting myself. I love 'em raw but as the water quality decreases, I've gotten to the point where I eat most of them steamed or fried. I will try to take up your slack and eat your share too, lol.

August 11, 1955 is Congressman William (Billy) Hollis Long's birthday. Newsmax celebrated it by airing this 2018 clip. Hilarious in my opinion. 

2018: U.S. Congressman Billy Long broke into an auction chant on Wednesday to drown out a protester who was interrupting a House energy and commerce committee hearing on social media. The protester, later identified as conservative activist Laura Loomer, stood and interrupted the hearing with complaints against Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. Long, a Republican from Missouri, pretended to auction off a phone, drowning out her arguments as she was escorted out of the room. According to Long's biography on the House of Representatives website, he has been an auctioneer for over 30 years and has been inducted into the Missouri Professional Auctioneers' Hall of Fame.

If I had a way to possess this extremely rare restored 1952 Dodge Woodie School Bus, I wouldn't even bitch about the cost of gas. I would be in a state of euphoria any time I was driving it. This is awesome. It was found in Washington, (the state) and brought back to life.

I Love My Job, I Love My Job, I Love My Job

 

Next time you have a bad day at work, think about this guy:

Rob is a commercial saturation diver for Global Divers of Louisiana. He performs underwater repairs on offshore drilling rigs.

Below is an e-mail he sent to his sister. She then sent it to `The X’, 103.2 FM in Ft Wayne, IN, who was sponsoring a “worst job experience” contest. Needless to say, she won.

 

“Hi Sue,

Just another note from your bottom-dwelling brother.

Last week I had a bad day at the office. I know you’ve been feeling down lately at work, so I thought I would share my dilemma with you to make you realize it’s not so bad after all.

Before I can tell you what happened to me, I first must bore you with a few technicalities of my job. As you know, my office lies at the bottom of the sea. I wear a suit to the office. It’s a wetsuit.

This time of year the water is quite cool. So what we do to keep warm is this: we have a diesel powered industrial water heater. This $20,000 piece of equipment sucks the water out of the sea. It heats it to a delightful temperature. It then pumps it down to the diver through a garden hose, which is taped to the air hose.

Now, this sounds like a good plan, and I’ve used it several times with no complaints. What I do, when I get to the bottom and start working, is take the hose and stuff it down the back of my wetsuit. This floods my whole suit with warm water. It’s like working in a Jacuzzi.

Everything was going well until all of a sudden, my butt started to itch. So of course, I scratched it. This only made things worse. Within a few seconds, my butt started to burn. I pulled the hose out from my back, but the damage was done. In agony, I realized what had happened. The hot water machine had sucked up a jellyfish and pumped it into my suit. Now since I don’t have hair on my back, the jellyfish couldn’t stick to it. However, the crack of my butt was not as fortunate. When I scratched what I thought was an itch, I was actually grinding the jellyfish into my butt.

I informed the dive supervisor of my dilemma over the communicator. His instructions were unclear due to the fact that he, along with 5 other divers, were all laughing hysterically. Needless to say, I aborted the dive.

I was instructed to make 3 agonizing in-water decompression stops totaling 35 minutes before I could reach the surface to begin my chamber dry decompression. When I arrived at the surface, I was wearing nothing but my brass helmet.

As I climbed out of the water, the medic, with tears of laughter running down his face, handed me a tube of cream and told me to rub it on my butt as I got in the chamber. The cream put the fire out, but I couldn’t poop for two days because my butt hole was swollen shut.

So, next time you’re having a bad day at work, think about how much worse it would be if you had a jellyfish shoved up your butt.”

 

Now repeat to yourself, “I love my job, I love my job, I love my job . . .”

Black bears crossing Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park, VA on a foggy morning. If you ever have the time and are anywhere near the BRP or Skyline Drive, it is worth the drive. My wife and I drove the entire route and although it is time consuming because of the speed limit, it is so enjoyable and relaxing.

Saw the same thing on my drive to Northern Minnesota to vacation.  We have Black and Brown every where in the Nortern part of the state.

Respect is the watchword, Distance and respect.

Hooters use to have the BEST of these!!  Haven't been to a hooters in years.  Actually, last time I was at one, they said, "We don't have those on the menu anymore, but...we will make em for ya cause we have all the ingredients."   Back when they use to do that ****... 

I LOVE Oysters on the half shell.  Took me two years to learn, ya can't do Raw oysters and Rum and coke.   

When we were back on vacation...I'd order a dozen and a Captain and coke...10 minutes...if that...I'm "Pukin in the Boys room".  Like I said it took me two years... bfor the bartender said to me...on the THIRD year at the same resturant..."Dude...I remember you.  You Need to order BEER with the Oysters"!!!   

Back in the day...when we were wade fishin and Crank bait castin for Snook in the Indian River in Ft. Pierce...we use to just reach down, Pick up some Oysters, crack em open...wash em out in the salt river water, and eat em.  72...Before all the pollution and ****.

Find a hole and hope for the best ...?
