as Stoopid does.

So I went to change the trolling motor batteries on the Ranger this
morning and noticed that the holders were all cracked needing
replacement.

So, I pulled the batteries, pulled the holders, went to get new ones,
returned and replaced the holders.

I then went to install the batteries and spent a 45 minutes wondering
what I did with the second jumper cable, cursing like a drunken Squid
for being so stoopid in losing the cable.

I'm looking for an additional cable to wire the batteries in parallel
instead of series.

D'Oh!!!!

When I finally figured it out, I started cursing like a drunken Squid
again for being so freakin' stoopid.

Smart people are allowed to be stupid sometimes. Don't feel bad. It could be
MUCH worse, and permanent:

"But on Sunday, Mr. Bush tried to backtrack when asked when that deadline
might be. "First of all, I don't think I called for a deadline," Mr. Bush
said, during a press appearance with Mr. Berisha in the courtyard of a
government ministry building. He was reminded that he had.

"I did?" he asked, sounding surprised. "What exactly did I say? I said
deadline? O.K., yes, then I meant what I said." The reporters laughed."


You mean like;

"You know the one thing that's wrong with this country? Everyone gets
a chance to have their fair say."


Yes, well, Clinton's verbal gaffes would fill a teacup. Bush's would
fill Lake Mead.

That reminds me...'Batteries Plus' will rebuild DeWalt rechargeables for
half of what new ones cost.

He said that?

Nope.

Bill Clinton did. :)

Clinton also said,

"The purpose of government is to rein in the rights of the people"


Nice! I think every president should be accompanied by a person whose
sole job is to be deadly accurate with a cream pie, and a very good
listener.

"Is our children learning?"


Seven second delay, with Rove controlling the button?


Especially if the button is also wired (in series or parallel - for Tom)
to Bush' scrotum.
