Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for May 14, 2012

I feel your pain, Gene. Summer makes me think of lakes in WI, and small boats with out board motors…

Those old 2 strokes will dump a lot of oil in the lake. Good thing he took it out.

It helps takes his mind of those years in Terdmunkistan. Living in two story Yurts with the full bars and indoor pool. Those two inch Yak steaks served by nubile … It’s all too much to bear.

When the boss comes in and finds Gene standing on his water skis in his Speedo, with a tow rope attached to his desk…..he knows he has to make him take his vacation days, instead of allowing him to wait till December 31st and take the cash instead.

My family’s first outboard bought in the late 1940s was a 16 foot lapstrake Lyman with a 9.7 HP Evinrude. Talk about “slow boat” I could swim faster and I’m a lousy swimmer. It wasn’t flushed properly after a two seasons in salt water and it rusted out. Replaced with a 25 HP Evinrude which was decent but couldn’t keep up with the 40 HP Mercurys. Now bass boats have more powerful trolling engines.

….I hang my head in shame, I believe I just confessed my life of crime over on AS…. I may have to flee to Terdmunkistan, where I believe they don’t have extradition laws…

Monkey, don’t go! I don’t believe you really did it!

And here’s the conclusion of the murder mystery!

After 3+ years, Lord knows how many tests, and 65 pounds later, I’m finally going to be on the transplant list after one more clearance and education class for my family caretakers. June 21 is the target date, then we wait.
