Eureka II! Another Use!

My apt. complex announced mandatory and new Parking Permit Window Decals. They required proof of current vehicle registration and return of the previous Decal. That part worried me. How to remove an adhesive decal that had been baked on by the Sun for two years?

But again, inspired by the recent events at the Reflecting Pool In D.C., I used this and a Q-Tip. Worked! Clean windshield too! Glue be gone! Tow Truck be gone!

Eureka! It works!

Unable to remove gummed adhesive stickers from used Books & DVDs with a fingernail, I was inspired by the recent events at the Reflecting Pool In D.C.. I use this and baking soda to brush & gargle with – works well and cheap.

Not the 4x stronger 12% that the National Park Service dumped gallons of into the Reflecting Pool to kill algae, but what I had. Thought, if it could dissolve the bond between industrial coating and concrete, it might work! Sprinkled on the gummed labels and voila -they come right off – with a Q-Tip, no scrubbing or pulling or tearing! Good for dental hygiene, good for mild wounds, good for dissolving glue bonds! And it’s cheap!

Old Man Fun – Part Quatre!

Dragging today from ugly upset tummy inhibiting sleep. Mostly better now, nursing a Pabst and some Evan Williams. Begged off my daily visit with neighbor dog (below) but left treats outside my door.

But, while Phone scammer calls, have gone to near zero, got one today from a spoofed / unassigned local DID number. Pick up on speaker and blow quasi-duck call noise maker (origin was previously described)! A boiler room soul answers and they get another blast! No voice recording! Then they hang up! Mission accomplished! Double treats tomorrow! Improved my mood!

Old Man Fun – Part Trois!

After a few weeks of no Phone scammer calls, got a new one today from, you guessed it, a spoofed / unassigned DID number – this time in Georgia. So pick up call, put on speaker and blow quasi-duck call noise maker whose origin was previously described! Some poor boiler room soul answers and they get another blast! Then they hang up! Mission accomplished! Soon as this snuggle bunny / neighbors dog is off a trial diet, she’s getting serious goodies from Moi! Maybe even, another stuffed LampChop toy!

And Now For Something Completely Different!

There are two Baseball Movies that I think are worthy of your time – “Bull Durham” and “Major League”. Ok, yeah I was born in Cleveland. But today was Bob Uecker Day in Milwaukee – pretty sure he was in the “Front Row”.
