Hi folks, A man came to visit his grandparents, and he noticed his grandfather sitting on the porch in the rocking chair wearing only a shirt, with nothing on from the waist down. 'Grandpa, what are you doing? Your weenie is out in the wind for everyone to see!' he exclaimed. The old man looked off in the distance without answering. 'Grandpa, what are you doing sitting out here with nothing on below the waist?' he asked again. The old man slowly looked at him and said, 'Well....last week I sat out here with no shirt on and I got a stiff neck. This is your grandma's idea.' Jerry Baumchen

Hi Lisa, Sheesh, kids these days; they think they know it all. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Watch, Mine does that also; but, only occasionally. Does yours do it everytime? It is annoying but is not uncommon. I also plumbed mine with two P-traps which is supposed to help with this problem. You pour some drain cleaner down both drains and see if it helps. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Scott, http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/oregon-occupation-leader-ammon-bundy-arrested-law-enforcement-sources-n504911 From the article: 'Shots were fired about 4:25 p.m. PST when the FBI and Oregon State Police began an "enforcement action" at the wildlife refuge, the FBI said.'

Hi Ken, The latest KATU news is that eight have been arrested: http://katu.com/news/local/leader-of-oregon-occupation-ammon-bundy-three-others-arrested Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, So why did the chicken cross the road? SARAH PALIN: The chicken crossed the road because, gosh-darn it, he's a maverick! JOHN McCAIN: My friends, the chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road. GEORGE W. BUSH: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not. The chicken is either with us or against us. There is no middle ground here. DICK CHENEY: Where's my gun? BILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with that chicken. AL GORE: I invented the chicken.... and the road. JOHN KERRY: Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it. AL SHARPTON: Why are all the chickens white? DR. PHIL: The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on this side of the road before it goes after the problem on the other side of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he is acting by not taking on his current problems before adding any new problems. OPRAH: Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross the road so badly. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a NEW CAR so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens. ANDERSON COOPER: We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road. NANCY GRACE: That chicken crossed the road because he's guilty! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks. PAT BUCHANAN: To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American. MARTHA STEWART: No one called me to warn me which way the chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information. DR SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told. ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die in the rain, alone. GRANDPA: In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough for us. DONALD TRUMP: We should build a wall so the chicken can't cross the road. BARBARA WALTERS: Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heartwarming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its lifelong dream of crossing the road. ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross the road. BILL GATES: I have just released eChicken2014, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents and balance your checkbook. Internet Explorer is an integral part of eChicken2014. This new platform is much more stable and will never reboot. ALBERT EINSTEIN: Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken? COLONEL SANDERS: Did I miss one? Jerry Baumchen

Hi rush, When I was a teenager back in the 1950's, that would be somewhat correct. Do you ever consider actually living in the 21st century? Jerry Baumchen

Hi SkyMoms, Trust me, when you are a 75-yr old man there definitely is. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Jeanne, A little update: http://www.statesmanjournal.com/story/news/politics/2016/01/25/commission-votes-remove-judge-vance-day/79320770/ Not even a judge is above the law. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Paul, Well, this looney-toon is threatening to kill just about everyone: http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/oregon-occupation-man-way-join-bundys-threatens-kill-officers-camera-n504216 And I question this: 'Stetson tells the trooper he's a retired colonel in the U.S. military who served in Central America in 1980 — he boasts twice that his service record was "sealed by Ronald Reagan" . . . ' Sure it was, Jerry Baumchen

Hi promise, So what was his name? Jerry Baumchen

Hi Mark, Well, it does say that the Dow will drop 80% in 2016. Anybody want to take a shot at what an 80% drop would mean to the world economy? Jerry Baumchen

Hi 1399, Possible, but not probable. So, do you support the 'occupiers' here in Oregon? And, I thought you posted that you were leaving, Jerry Baumchen

Hi Ray, This is why I am having TA supply all of those parts. When I went to install the binding attachment on my Consew it would not fit. A quick look-see and some time with the grinder got things just where I wanted them. While I really do like working with my hands, with parachute sewing I just want to sew and sew and sew . . . Jerry Baumchen

Hi joe, I agree 100+%. I would cutoff the water to the building, if possible; they'll come out within a few days. The human body cannot go very long without water. If that didn't work/could not be accomplished, then cutoff their food supply. Thanks for the great post; I can only hope that the FBI is listening. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Ray, I do have a Consew 339 with TA right-angle binding attachment. What I was posting about is a new right-angle binding attachment that I am getting for a Juki LH 1162 machine that I am buying. TA is not only building me a new right-angle binding attachment but they are supplying the sliding plate that it will attach to and a new presser foot to ensure that the new binding attachment will sit at the ( hopefully ) perfect location. The extra parts are what is bringing the price to about $450. Jerry Baumchen

Hi bb, I have one coming from: http://www.tennattachment.com/ 1-800-251-5000 My contact there is Amy Murrell, her email is: amytac(at)bellsouth(dot)net She was very good to work with. It will cost you about $450. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, Last week, I took my grandchildren to a restaurant. My seven-year-old grandson asked if he could say grace. As we bowed our heads he said, "God is good, God is great. Thank you for the food, and I would even thank you more if Grandpa gets us ice cream for dessert. And liberty and justice for all! Amen!" Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby, I heard a woman remark, "That's what's wrong with this country. Kids today don't even know how to pray. Asking God for ice cream! Why, I never!" Hearing this, my grandson burst into tears and asked me, "Did I do it wrong? Is God mad at me?" As I assured him that he had done a terrific job, and God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman approached the table. He winked at my grandson and said, "I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer." "Really?" my grandson asked. Cross my heart," the man replied. Then, in a theatrical whisper, he added (indicating the woman whose remark had started this whole thing), "Too bad she never asks God for ice cream. A little ice cream is good for the soul sometimes." Naturally, I bought my grandchildren ice cream at the end of the meal. My grandson stared at his ice cream for a moment, and then did something I will remember the rest of my life. He picked up his sundae and, without a word, walked over and placed it in front of the woman. With a big smile he told her, "Here, this is for you. Shove it up your a$$ you grouchy old b*tch!" Jerry Baumchen Touches the heart doesn't it?

Hi turtle, Actaully, I think it is what MJOSparky would say: 'They haven't seen the ball since kickoff.' At this point in time, I don't think they really know what they are protesting. IMO it's time to cutoff their food source. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Biil, Oh, I am very sure that he understands it. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Scott, Thanks for posting that. OR Gov. Kate Brown is asking the feds to take action: http://www.usnews.com/news/us/articles/2016-01-20/oregon-standoff-leader-attends-meeting-hears-chants-of-go Jerry Baumchen
