Why you ding dong, Chong, my mind is fine .... unless I'm tired and/or irritable.

I hope the invitation includes me, though for economic reasons, I don't know if I can make it. Also, I don't know how far weird I can go on food in Thailand. I know one, for sure, that I won't sample is the "Food of Kings" that GIs, on R&R from Vietnam in the late 60s, were told that they should try.

About your name being hybridized, a Chog or a Tong sounds the same to some people, you know! At least it wasn't Tovey!

See, Tog! I told you. Now he's resorting to name calling. Well, we just need to give allowances, I guess.

Harvey, and here I thought that your were chill??? I didn't say that your mind wasn't fine, did I?

Come on, now, Chong, those are terms of endearment! Just like calling you my silly friend.

Now, just to show you what a ding dong (silly guy) I've been, I just made the most inexpensive repair of an air compressor ever. A little trick I use when adding onto my water lines, such as a maze of a 1" PVC line for "domestic" water (well water as opposed to irrigation water pumped from the river) is to purge the line of water with compressed air so that I can cut the line without a lot of water draining and make a good strong glue joint. I open up the last hose bib in the line near where I need to cut the line and then blow air into the line at a point further up the line (in this case, about 200' away) but putting my air hose into a garden hose. Since I had to clear quite a lenth of water, my air compressor ran for quite a while yesterday and it was getting fairly hot, but I thought it should be okay. Well, my splicing and all took a bit longer and when I got back the air compressor had kicked off and seemed very hot. The breaker switch wasn't tripped and the reset button on the motor had no effect. I was worried about how much this was going to cost but decide to try to diagnose the problem just a short while ago. I took off the belt guard and was pleased that both pullies turned freely. All the wire connections were okay and I didn't see any in-line fuses of any sort. Since I had put on my reading glasses to check out the wiring I was able to read the pressure gauge more clearly and noticed it had 85 PSI in the tank. The air compressor would not turn on because it is set to only run when the pressure drops below 80 PSI. I just happened to come back to my shop during a period when it wasn't running and had jumped to a conclusion a bit too quickly. A good example of when things aren't really as bad as they seem!

Cheers,

Harvey

P.S. Chong, I'm not really accustomed to the use of the term "chill" as you're using it, but I assume you mean I'm a really cool guy, right???

Harvey,

I meant for you to calm down. But . . . . . . . . so, Okay, you're a cool guy. AND DON'T LET THAT GO TO YOUR HEAD ! ! ! !

harveyc

Chong, I've been calm all along. I get excited when I have big holes in irrigation lines caused by coyotes having fun, leaving me try to fix a whole with most of 2,500 GPM coming out in the middle of the night. After that, I'm worked up and can't get back to sleep when I go back to bed. When I break something I'm trying to fix, I get excited, but I pray for patience and am getting better. I got excited briefly on Tuesday when a motorcycle passed me going about 100 mph and a cop came by moments later. When someone yells or makes a rude gesture at me, I still tend to get excited but soon remember I need to make an effort to practice the patience I pray for. I'm pretty calm most of the time, Chong, and more often just tired more than anything else.

Peace,

Harvey

Chong, I'm chilled out okay but may have to report you to a moderator. Don't you think you can start a "weird food" thread?

Harvey, I was contacted by a moderator and so I moved the pertinent post as you suggested. KJ! Ha Ha!

chong

Okay, I did it! What you said . . . . .

lorax

Ok, ¿can we get back to getting along, then?

harveyc

Cool, I'm chilled out again, Chong, and in a peaceful mood wanting to get along with everybody. My greatest anxiety at this point is the rain is falling on about 200 tons of alfalfa I have baled and sitting my my fields....where is the guy that's supposed to stack my hay??? I'd like to see him so I could smile on my brother!

Ok Chong, you and this unity, peace and love thread just reminded of one of my all time favorite commercials. Umm, yes it's real! Enjoy!
