Default 2 Problems

Oh, we remember your electric wench, Al! G

dam, your good. ;-) Ask me about my electric wench some time. You
don't get a.b.p.o do you?

However, it's definitely a loop I was speaking of. I made it myself with
some clear cellophane stretched over one end of an old bubble blowing wand
left over from one of my recent childhoods. I couldn't find the loupe
that I was required to buy for my pest management class so I had to
improvise.

This reminds me of my favorite exchange from one of Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe
novels. In it Wolfe had maneuvered one of his suspects into the red chair
and was making him nuts with his erudite pedantic style of interrogatory
interlocution until the man simply could not take it any more. He said,
"I came here to find out what you've done with my wife, not to have my
grammar corrected!" To which Wolfe dryly replied, "I'm not correcting
your grammar. I'm correcting your diction."

....I guess you had to be there.

Anyway, you may correct either of mine any time you like and I'll try to
be more careful. It's just reassuring to know somebody actually reads
this cwap 'o mine that closely, sense most of it is so obliviously devoid
of common cents.

Most probably lost in one of his many childhoods ...or is he trying to
avoid a mountain of repotting chores?

That should be a "loupe." 10X would be best.

Obligatory songs: "Here We go Loop-de-Loop." "Little Latin Lupe Lu."
