A man after my own heart. How else would you do it?

Go out and buy a bucket truck just to change one light bulb

Issat really Noble up there?? As cool as that looks, its probably pretty dangerous.(Polish Ladder)

Here in B.C. if he got caught,the Workers Compensation Board(W.C.B.) would make this guys rates so high, he'd go broke. Hmmmmmm

Kevin · « **Reply #7 on:** October 11, 2003, 07:41:11 pm »

That's a Do It Yor Self 'r.
Noble is a self proclaimed jack of alls, that's why I was picking on him.

biziedizie · « **Reply #8 on:** October 11, 2003, 07:48:20 pm »

Percy haven't you leaned yet the W.C.B is a farce??? I wonder how many thousands I've given to them blood suckers over the years and when ya need it they just let you down

Speaking of the goverment they sent me a G.S.T check for a whooping $54.00

Think I might go out and buy a fancy cheeseburger with that and maybe some fries

Why do they bother??? Are they trying to make themselves look good???

Wow I've seen it all now, that's the tallest milking stool ever.

Noble, I didn't know your middle name was Jack.

Kevin · « **Reply #15 on:** October 12, 2003, 07:08:03 am »

Noble, you could have used that for pruning your trees instead of standing in that shaky old bucket.

Bro. Noble · « **Reply #16 on:** October 12, 2003, 07:42:21 am »

That does bring back some memories. I don't like these mercury-vapor lights, cause I figger if someone is gonna steal something at night, he otter bring his own light.

I had the old kind of incandescent 'flood' light on a little skinny pole in the yard. The DanG bulb burned out.

As I mentioned in earlier posts, I (like Chet and Kevin) consider myself a 'high up-in-the-sky' worker. Where we differ is that I consider 10 feet high-up -in-the- sky. Anyway this pole was at least 12 ft tall and maybe even 14. I got this aluminum extension ladder that's almost as tall. I could get within a couple of feet of the blamed thing feeling pretty comfortable but then the ladder got rickity and the pole got to weaving.

REA put me in a new Mercury-vapor light. I got it on a switch though so I can turn it off at night. I'm no dummy

Percy,

Our youngest son was delivered (in an emergency situation) by this Polish Dr. I did notice he had holes in his socks though

I like Polish sausage

But, I don't buy it in a filling station like Jeff.

Jeff · « **Reply #17 on:** October 12, 2003, 07:44:30 am »

Lotsa good info in that post Noble.

Chet · « **Reply #18 on:** October 12, 2003, 08:00:06 am »

A yooper would have mounted da light fixture really low on da pole (say 5 feet up). Dat way he could reach it easily if da DanG bulb burned out.

Bro. Noble · « **Reply #19 on:** October 12, 2003, 08:08:31 am »

There you go again Chet------pullin my leg.

You figgered I'd run right down to the hardware to buy a 5 foot extension ladder

I think I can build my own

Minnesota_boy · « **Reply #20 on:** October 12, 2003, 08:26:55 am »

If a Yooper mounted that light only 5 feet up a pole, it would be under the snow all winter.

Chet · « **Reply #21 on:** October 12, 2003, 08:46:12 am »

Don't need da light in the winter. Da bright moon reflectin' of the snow brighten's things up jist great.

Gus · « **Reply #22 on:** October 12, 2003, 08:54:23 am »

That looks like something my dad would do. I love the old fart but I learned alot of things from him I couldn't forget fast enough.

Yeh Noble,
Why's everyone picking on you?
Is it because you ate that pickled bologna?

Kevin_H. · « **Reply #25 on:** October 12, 2003, 06:45:38 pm »

isn't bologna bad enough as is...Why would you pickle it?

My folks usta pickle eggs...Just never seen the purpose

If Y'all wanna pickle sumpin, try green tomatoes

DanG · « **Reply #29 on:** October 13, 2003, 05:46:36 am »

I stopped at a restaurant, recently, that had fried pickles on the menu. I didn't eat none of'em, though.

Kevin · « **Reply #30 on:** October 13, 2003, 05:49:52 am »

You should have sent it back and demanded a clean menu.

Didn't you know this is Monday morning?

You ain't supposed to be that sharp on Monday morning.

Jim_Rogers · « **Reply #32 on:** October 13, 2003, 08:22:08 am »

We went to the fair yesterday. They had deep fried Twinkies, deep fried snickers candy bars, and deep fried Oreo cookies (all dipped in batter first).

OneWithWood · « **Reply #33 on:** October 13, 2003, 08:27:13 am »

Jim,
I am surprised you could sit still long enough to type that post

DanG · « **Reply #34 on:** October 13, 2003, 09:20:02 am »

I've heard of fried ice cream, too. I've always wondered how you can tell when it is done.

Jim_Rogers · « **Reply #35 on:** October 13, 2003, 09:21:34 am »

Why would you say that?

Did you think I'd waste 3 bucks on a deep fried Twinkie?

Not me!

OneWithWood · « **Reply #36 on:** October 13, 2003, 09:32:57 am »

. . . and how much of the other stuff did you consume?

Jim_Rogers · « **Reply #37 on:** October 13, 2003, 11:28:39 am »

My wife wasted 3 bucks for one order of deep fried Oreo Cookies, for my nine year old daughter. You get four per order, sprinkled with powdered sugar.
She, my daughter, took one bite of one, and said: "thanks, I don't want any more of that!"

Aren't kids great

Kevin_H. · « **Reply #38 on:** October 13, 2003, 03:06:22 pm »

Ya see now we are talking, you can take almost anything and make it doubly good by putt'n batter on it and throwin it in hot grease!

We do the deep fried oreo's when we go camping...haven't tried the twinke's yet, but there is a rams game tonite.

By the way if youre going to deep fry the oreos, you might as well get the double stuffed, I mean your already eating deep fried cookies, what the heck man.

We do the deep fried pickes to, you can either batter the dill chips or spears bolth will fry up right nice.

Just as a side note, I cant do tomatoes...I mean when you cut them open...they look like they are still in the larve stage, way too nasty.

Tom · « **Reply #39 on:** October 13, 2003, 03:23:06 pm »

Fried Tomatoes are great, Kevin. I have them for breakfast and supper too. The trick is slice green tomatoes. I fry them in a skillet with just a little grease or oil rather than deep frying. The batter has to have cornmeal in it for the texture.

Kevin_H. · « **Reply #40 on:** October 13, 2003, 04:15:59 pm »

Well that sounds....well it sounds like something I still wont eat. Now have you ever had fried corn? Thats some good eat'n

Sawyerfortyish · « **Reply #41 on:** October 13, 2003, 04:39:50 pm »

Mmm fried green tomatos put me down for an order

. Haven't fried corn but have barbecued it also had corn cakes for breakfast

DanG · « **Reply #42 on:** October 13, 2003, 07:35:28 pm »

I don't actually batter the green 'maters, but dip them in corn meal, or a mixture of corn meal and flour, after some salt and pepper. They should be sawn across the grain to about .6 quarters, and the bark should be left on. Lay the boards in a thin layer of peanut or canola oil, heated to about 350*, turn them after about a minute, then, after about another 45 seconds, transfer them to a paper towel to absorb the grease.
To be good, they must be consumed almost immediately. This means that the cook doesn't get to eat until everybody else is done, OR that the cook is the only one who eats, depending on the size of the cook.

whitepe · « **Reply #43 on:** October 22, 2003, 01:04:04 pm »

Noble,

Skip the ladder and use these to change that light bulb.
Besides, they'll haul lumber too.
