Default Thanksgiving turns into a Merry Christmas for Discount tire...Oreo, the cat, nervous.


Well, Turkey day was great!
I did extremely well at the Poker game on Friday.
Zack was leaving for work and as he backed out of the garage The sun illuminated the new Khumo's -600 miles- Outside quarter of both rears ... BALD ... . This is on Zack's White 81'.
Replaced them because of the bent rim after Zack's wreak -spun then hopped curb in reverse. (Mark -sandblasted, heated, primed, heated, painted & cleared.
Looks factory, very lucky, as little skill available or involved.)The left rear was bent , way out of round, so, it was replaced.
I did a thorough visual, nothing had shifted/was bent.
Anyone surveyed the rear end of chassis according to the WSM.
I need to do this before I throw another set of tires on and do a rear alignment.
In other news ...
My daughter and her friends tossed Oreo the kat inside Pattycakes when my twin 6 year old nieces -scared to death of cats- showed up for a visit.
Do I need to describe what happens to dash, A pillar, console leather once a cat hooks a claw in it while chasing an errant moth out of boredom?
I suppose the cat is not to blame . But since there are laws concerning the strangling of one's own daughter ... this cat is going to bear the brunt of my anger.

Headlines - Dallas Morning Star : Struthers Seeking *****

"Known Porscheophile, JS, was reportedly seen early Sat AM .... "

Hummm, not quite the right slant - back to the thesaurus

If the cat is big enough you could always recover the damaged parts in Oreo fur.
Just kidding

This is the point when "gutting the cat" takes on a whole new meaning. Isn't it about time for a new pair of fur lined gloves or maybe a new fur collar for the parka? As a minimum I would take the cat to have it declawed.

Concerning the alignment, make sure you take the 928 to someone who knows it cannot be raised prior to setting. I have heard most Ford dealers have the new Hunter alignment machines that are capable of this type of adjustment.

Garth,
Semantics, semantics ...In reference to your use of animal slang.
I absolutely believe you innocently used "The Word" But, I feel you should be aware that the coarser elements amongst us might envision a dual meaning.
Though Oreo is a male I am equally sure he would assume "put out" would refer to some evening ritual of another meaning, altogether innocent..
Ed,
He's white and black with options on black and blue.
Not a match for the Weissach ... unfortunately.
Dennis,
May have some use for him yet.
He won't stay still long enough to trim his nails with splitting ax...hmmm.
Do you still have that book on Cat Skinning and Feline Recipes made easy?

John-
Here is an outlet that won't result in immediate loss of esteem by the daughter unit:

I personally have more latitude in my own actions...

John,

An excerpt from "More than One Way to Skin the Cat" by Don O. Glen. "Line the toilet seat with 100 grit sandpaper. Add one cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl. While gently petting the cat, quickly insert it into the toilet bowl and close the lid. At this point a little weight may be needed to stabilize the seat. You will probably hear the cat thrashing around in its playful romp in the bath. Allow at least 5 minutes for the cat to enjoy their bath and manicure. Flush toilet twice to get a good rinse then quickly raise the lid and move out of the way as the cat will be so happy it may try to get on your chest and "hug" you. Allow the cat to dry. Now you have a well groomed and manicured cat."

John that sucks, plain and simple!

Scared cat tosed inside of a 928 sounds like the start of a real sick joke!
