Message-ID: We got such a pooch too - a black Labrador Retriever named Max. I call him MudMax because he loves to sit in the mud. Max is a very gentle dog, but at the same time he's a real dirtbag, eating every shit that he can find, or any other rotten stuff. He's not only chewing up toys and shoes but swallows female underwear to throw it up again in the garage or the garden. This happens when my wife is selecting the laundry for washing and leaves a pile of laundry in the bathroom while the washing machine still washes another load. Max then sneaks into the bathroom if the door isn't closed to search for underwear or socks. He also steals the bread from the table as soon as my wife turns her back but he only does that when I'm not around. He *knows* who his boss is and behaves like the nicest dog on earth when I am home. But beware when I have gone... I really had to get used to his behaviour. I love this gentle dog but at the same time I wish we wouldn't have one. Dogs have to much of a human - that's why they are considered to be the humans best friend - bah!

Then if anyone crticices you, you whine about oppinions. I'll put it down to language problems but I for one have had enough of your dumb-assed comments. Just for the record the three cats we had were 13, 16 and 12 years old, they all died of old age at varying times. Read my comment it stated we had always had 2 or 3 cats up until my son was born. The unsaid part that that comment implies is that we made a choice after that time to not have so many cats. Your comments were in my oppinion very offensive and if you wanted to ask them you should have gone offlist,then no offense would have been taken!

I didn't see any in the One True Scale As for the trade Stands, I got a Pegasus Be2 & DH4 from Ace's High for a show special of £10 each, was lured by a RVHP Swallow, and got a Classic Plane DH9A for £2 !!

Hooray ! Something I can agree with completely. Much of what passes (in the general public) for a knowledge of WW1 history is flavoured by the anti-war/anti-Vietnam perception of warfare. Definitely time to go back to sources rather than taking 1970's "histories" as fact without using a bit of intelligent discretion.

Except that it explains why I din't get much done on the Salmson this afternoon. I turned on our lawn sprinkler system this afternoon for the first time this season and was making sure each zone worked okay. Marilyn was inside watching TV or reading the Sunday paper or something. The first time a sprinkler zone came on, there was a loud bang in the house which concerned Marilyn and she came to the door to inform me. I said it was probably the sudden surge of water in pipes that had been empty all winter. This was confirmed as I tested each zone and always got the loud bang. I think it's called water hammering. When I had finished testing the sprinklers and setting the timer, I went inside. I was immediately confronted by a strong odor of Natural Gas. Marilyn hadn't noticed it before, but after I said something and came over to where I was she could smell it too. We made quick checks of the gas stove, the gas barbeque out on the deck, the gas fireplace, the gas clothes dryer, the water heaters and the furnaces. Nothing. And yet each time we returned to a certain area of the house we could smell gas. I got to wondering if the water hammering had somehow knocked a joint loose in a gas pipe. We opened the patio door and the front door and then decided we should do as the TV advertisement says: don't turn anything electrical on or off, don't even pick up the phone, because a tiny spark could cause an explosion, leave the house and phone the gas company from a neighbor's house. Marilyn grabbed a monthly statement from the power company so we'd have the number (clever of her). She also suggested we just take the cordless phone out with us instead of having to disturb a neighbor (clever again). After the usual frustration of getting an automated answering machine with "press one for English or two for Spanish" and a bunch of other choices, finally including "to report a gas leak" Marilyn got to talk to a real person. She said someone would be out within two hours. When Marilyn told me that I said "What!" I asked Marilyn if they said to get out of the house. No. Obviously Marilyn had gotten a trainee or something so I decided to call back. Same story. I asked her why two hours was the best they could do in an emergency. She said at my disgression, if I was really concerned, I could call 911. I did. Even calling 911 was a tiny bit weird, because after I reported the situation and gave our address and phone number, she transferred me to the fire department and I had to start from scratch with them, with "What is your emergency?" Eventually the pumper truck arrived. I didn't time it, but then we hadn't reported a fire either. We heard the siren from far off but they killed it when they got a few blocks away. The truck stopped at the intersection a half block away and seemed to not know which way to turn, so we waved at them, but they were no doubt getting directions over their radio. They pulled up in front of our house like they had just driven to a restaurant for supper, no sense of urgency. We repeated our story and they took their electronic sniffer inside. One guy went to the gas meter to see if the dials were spinning. I'd already done that myself and had seen a slow movement. Meanwhile Marilyn's on the phone with our daughter giving her a blow-by-blow account. The firemen came back outside and reported they found nothing. What? We couldn't believe it. We had definitely smelled gas for a considerable length of time. They suggested that perhaps a burner on the stove didn't get turned clear off -- sometimes it looks like it's on the "OFF" mark but it isn't quite completely off. Marilyn had checked the stove knobs when we were looking for the source, and maybe in so doing she had unknowingly turned it the rest of the way off. Marilyn had boiled some eggs earlier, so it seemed feasible. They said it was safe to go back inside. We did. Nothing. No more gas smell. A little while later the gas company guy arrives. I told him the story about calling 911 and everything. He took his electronic sniffer inside and checked everything imaginable very thoroughly. We discussed all the possibilities. His ultra-sensitive sniffer found a tiny tiny tiny leak in the connections to the gas clothes dryer, not enough to be a factor, and it didn't even make bubbles in his soap solution, but he tightened the connections anyway. I commented that we still had an unsolved mystery because we had definately smelled gas. He assured us there was no leak. Later Marilyn went to eat one of the hard boiled eggs. It wasn't. It was still runny. She had cooked them for 20 minutes per the recipe. Suddenly it dawned on her: the flame must have gone out on that burner under the eggs -- she had turned it to "Low". This had never happened before, but maybe there was an air pocket in the gas supply or something. Not sure why the smell wasn't stronger over by the stove when we were hunting for the source, must have been the air movement in the house. What an "interesting" afternoon.

I wasn't riding it, and my then two cats would sit about six feet from the
garage (in the shade, of course) and watch me work, once, I looked over at
them, and the neighbor's cats had joined them, six or seven all together,
craning their necks to watch. I have never figured out why they were watching.

Could it be that rather than the flame going out, maybe the electronic switch never caught the gas burner to the supply? I know there are times when it seems to take a bit more clicking of the electronic switch on my range top. We have pipes in our bathroom that are noisy and our house is only 4 years old. I also have a dishwasher that has an oak panel front. ALWAYS use cheap builders wood for these panels, cuz if you use oak (which builders never use) it is WAY too heavy. It eventually bends your dishwasher door down to the floor! Believe me, that's where ours is!! I need a plumber! Margy ------------------------------ End of WWI Digest 3324 **********************
