My kind of guy!

Just ONE of the advantages of not having a SWMBO Plus that table is my workbench. I prep bread on it, make sausage, pin razors AND it also doubles as a place to serve food and eat on!

Many, many years ago the company I worked produce for used an electric 'Lettuce Trimmer' to cut the butts of of head lettuce and other things. All it was was a 1/3rd HP electric motor mounted on a frame that had a coupling fixture that held an injector razor blade--Safety First????

At the time they used a company known as Harold's Electric for 99.9% of any repair work. Anyway the thing needed new bearings as you could hear it rattling from one end of the back room to the other when it was running but the store manager wouldn't pay Harold's to have it fixed so I took it upon myself to write down the motor's serial number and buy new bearings and brushes. Then one day when I got off at 2 pm I took it home and rebuilt it on my kitchen table and brought it back that night.

The very next day, the store manager came by when I was using it while it hummed away and he exploded! God Damn It Roy! I told you I wasn't going to pay Harold's to have that fixed!

I told him that Harold's hadn't fixed it that I'd done it at home.

He stood there like a deer in the headlights for a moment then said; God Damn It! That's working Off The Clock! I told him that I didn't consider sitting at my table drinking beers 'Work'.

He said that he'd put me in for two hours OT to cover my time and thanked me for caring enough about the companies property to take care of it.

Man I miss him. Cancer took him far too young. His two daughters were still in school. One in Jr High the Other a Sophomore in High School.

That breakfast sausage looks great. I wish you would adopt me, because your kids get the best food.

Hmmm 'Spaz Davis'--------------------------Sounds like you'd fit right in with the Davis Clan.

I'll send it to you via email, here in just a moment.

I would check for more detail on the Davis clan before I accepted.

For example do they have any ongoing feuds?

Now all you have to do is stop by regularly for family meals and pick up smoked meat and sausage.
