The Coffee Shop / 2 Boys

« on: October 15, 2013, 02:06:35 am »

Two Boys.....


If this does not make your day, nothing will.




Two little boys, ages 7 and 10, are excessively mischievous. They are always getting into trouble and their parents know if any mischief occurs in their town, the two boys are probably involved.

The boys' mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in
disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys.

The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually.

The mother sent the 7 year old in the morning, with the older boy to see
the preacher in the afternoon.

The preacher, a huge man with a deep booming voice, sat the younger
boy down and asked him sternly, "Do you know where God is, son?"

The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there
wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open.

So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God?!

Again, the boy made no attempt to answer.


The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the
boy's face and bellowed, "WHERE IS GOD?!"

The boy screamed and bolted from the room, ran directly home and
dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him.

When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, "What happened?"

The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, "We are in BIG trouble this time!"  "GOD is missing, and they think WE did it!"


PLEASE DON'T LAUGH ALONE.


PASS IT ON!

The Coffee Shop / Saw maintenance

« on: September 30, 2013, 11:58:46 pm »

Just curious how often do you lube the moving parts of your saws
I was noticing a funny squeek in my saw and decided to check the connecting rod pins and found them dry and decided to check the rocker bearings as well. They all needed and received good bearing grease applied by hand.
I noticed there is a little grease hole on top of each Rocker bearing but don't know how you would go about pumping grease in there, a regular grease gun isn't going to fit!
Asks Gabby of all those smart people in the forum. Lets hear how you are taking care of your machine and all the other reasons and shortcuts ETC,ETC.
At least one inquiring mind wants to know. And is there a better location for questions like this??

The Coffee Shop / North Dakota Cowboys, gotta love 'em!

« on: September 09, 2013, 09:47:08 pm »

An 80-year-old rancher from North Dakota goes to the Mayo clinic in Rochester for a check-up.

The doctor is amazed at what good shape the guy is in and asks, 'How do you stay in such great physical condition?'

'I'm from North Dakota and in my spare time I like to hunt and fish' says the old guy, 'and that's why I'm in such good shape.
I'm up well before daylight riding herd and mending fences and when I'm not doing that, I'm out hunting or fishing.
In the evening, I have a beer, a shot of whiskey and all is well.'

'Well' says the doctor, 'I'm sure that helps, but there's got to be more to it. How old was your father when he died?'

'Who said my Father's dead?'

The doctor is amazed. 'You mean you're 80 years old and your father's still alive? How old is he?'

'He's 100 years old,' says the old cowboy. 'In fact he worked and hunted with me this morning, and then we went to the
topless bar for a while and had a little beer and that's why he's still alive. He's a North Dakota rancher and he hunts and fishes too!'

'Well,' the doctor says, 'that's great, but I'm sure there's more to it than that. How about your father's father? How old was he when he died?'

'Who said my Grandpa's dead?'

Stunned, the doctor asks, 'you mean you're 80 years old and your grandfather's still alive?'

'He's 118 years old,' says the man.

The doctor is getting frustrated at this point, 'So, I guess he went hunting with you this morning too?'

'No, Grandpa couldn't go this morning because he's getting married today.'

At this point the doctor is close to losing it. 'Getting Married??? Why would a 118 year-old guy want to get married?'

'Who said he wanted to?'


This may have been around before but it's still funny!

The Coffee Shop / Words to "try" to live by

« on: August 23, 2013, 05:03:11 am »

"There comes a time in life when you have to let go of all the pointless drama &
the people who create it & surround yourself with people who make you laugh
so hard that you forget the bad and focus solely on the good.
After all life is too short to be anything but happy."

I saw this and had to share it, if only we can make it so.

I do try friends.

The Coffee Shop / Briliant idea!

« on: August 22, 2013, 10:18:31 pm »

People  in the USA , Canada , the UK and Australia need to take a lesson  from the Spaniards.
In Seville, Spain, local people found a way  to stop the construction of yet another mosque in their town.
They  buried a pig on the site, and made sure this would be known by the  local press.
Islamic rules forbid the erecting of a Mosque on  ?pig-soiled ground?, so the project had to be cancelled.
No protests were needed by the local people...and it worked!
Say no more.

The Coffee Shop / Rubber band gun Heads up!

« on: August 21, 2013, 01:57:27 am »

Steve just posted this and I tried to download the plans to the Colt revolver made by the same guy, and My anti virus blocked it as a harmful site So I backed out I don't need any worms or such.
Maybe someone else has cleared it if so I would like to know.
Sign me Cautious CHICKEN,
Gabby

 From Steve:

Very cool find on Youtube.
Posted: 19 Aug 2013 10:19 PM PDT
 
This is another Youtube find that I think many of you will enjoy. This is a two part video on the construction of a lever action rubber band gun. The guy includes a link to the pattern  in the description of the video on youtube. Visit his channel to find the pattern. I don't want to post it here because I don't have permission from him personally.
 
 His youtube channel is definitely worth checking out at this LINK.

The Coffee Shop / How little things change in 4000 years

« on: August 18, 2013, 05:22:25 pm »

Think on this.

Genesis 47:13-27
 
ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT THIS IS WOW!!!

RECENT VIRGINIA CHURCH SERVICE - STIMULUS SERMON
 
I would love to give the Pastor of this predominantly black church in Virginia three cheers. This guy is obviously a leader. Perhaps we should each decide who our real leader is. It is amazing to see that very little has changed in 4,000 years.

Good morning, brothers and sisters; it's always a delight to see the pews crowded on Sunday morning, and so eager to get into God's Word. Turn with me in your Bibles, if you will, to the 47th chapter of Genesis. We'll begin our reading at verse 13, and go through verse 27.

Brother Ray, would you stand and read that great passage for us? ... (reading) ... Thank you for that fine reading, Brother Ray. So we see that economic hard times fell upon Egypt , and the people turned to the government of Pharaoh to deal with this for them. And Pharaoh nationalized the grain harvest, and placed the grain in great store-houses that he had built. So the people brought their money to Pharaoh, like a great tax increase, and gave it all to him willingly in return for grain. And this went on until their money ran out, and they were hungry again.

So when they went to Pharaoh after that, they brought their livestock- their cattle, their horses, their sheep, and their donkey - to barter for grain, and verse 17 says that only took them through the end of that year. But the famine wasn't over, was it? So the next year, the people came before Pharaoh and admitted they had nothing left, except their land and their own lives. "There is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and our land. Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for food, and we with our land will be servants to Pharaoh." So they surrendered their homes, their land, and their real estate to Pharaoh's government, and then sold themselves into slavery to him, in return for grain.

What can we learn from this, brothers and sisters?

That turning to the government instead of to God to be our provider in hard times only leads to slavery? Yes... That the only reason government wants to be our provider is to also become our master?

Yes. But look how that passage ends, brothers and sisters! Thus, Israel settled in the land of Egypt , in the land of Goshen .  And they gained possessions in it, and were fruitful and multiplied greatly." God provided for His people, just as He always has! They didn't end up giving all their possessions to government, no, it says they gained possessions! But I also tell you a great truth today, and an ominous one.

We see the same thing happening today - the government today wants to "share the wealth" once again, to take it from us and re-distribute it back to us. It wants to take control of healthcare, just as
it has taken control of education, and ration it back to us, and when government rations it, then government decides who gets it, and how much, and what kind. And if we go along with it, and do it willingly, then we will wind up no differently than the people of Egypt did four thousand years ago - as slaves to the government, and as slaves to our leaders.

What Mr. Obama's government is doing now is no different from what Pharaoh's government did then, and it will end the same. And a lot of people like to call Mr. Obama a "Messiah," don't they? Is he a Messiah? A savior? Didn't the Egyptians say, after Pharaoh made them his slaves, "You have saved our lives; may it please my lord, we will be servants to Pharaoh"? Well, I tell you this - I know the Messiah; the Messiah is a friend of mine; and Mr. OBAMA IS NO MESSIAH!  No, brothers and sisters, if Mr. Obama is a character from the Bible, then he is Pharaoh. Bow with me in prayer, if you will...

"Lord, You alone are worthy to be served, and we rely on You, and You alone. We confess that the government is not our deliverer, and never rightly will be. We read in the eighth chapter of 1 Samuel, when Samuel warned the people of what a ruler would do, where it says "And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the LORD will not answer you in that day..."

'And Lord, we acknowledge that day has come. We cry out to you because of the ruler that we have chosen for ourselves as a nation. Lord, we pray for this nation. We pray for revival, and we pray for deliverance from those who would be our masters. Give us hearts to seek You and hands to serve You, and protect Your people from the atrocities of Pharaoh's government. In God We Trust..."
 
You may consider sharing this with others.

Pattern Requests. / MGA Coupe

« on: August 15, 2013, 07:29:57 am »

I had a fancy post all ready and then everything hung up and I lost it, so I'll give the abbreviated version instead. I used to have an MG after I got out of the Navy and it was my most memorable car! The most fun to drive and the girls thought it was cute too LOL
So I wanted a plaque to hang up here by my PC desk along with the rest of my "trophies".
And I decided to contact Ray aka EIEIO and he came through almost immediately. So I'm going to try and up his pattern and a photo of what my car looked like including paint color, we'll see if it will load this time.
As you can see Ray used another car to make the pattern from but that doesn't matter at all they were basically identical. I hope to have it cut in short order.
Man it was a fun car!
Great Job Ray and Thanks again,
Gabby
PS I always thought they looked like a Mini Jag!

The Coffee Shop / Gabby's MGA

« on: August 15, 2013, 06:24:44 am »

Right after getting out of the Navy I bought a 57 or 58 MGA Coupe` it was what is known as Ash Green as seen in the photo, not the greatest chick magnet color but they still seemed to dig it. Sure was tough to make out in though with the transmission hump in the middle, but the fenders were just the right height if you get my meaning  
Anyway it was the most memorable car I ever owned and the most fun, driving it was a blast and it got almost 30 mpg to boot. So to get to the reason for this windy post, I contacted Ray aka EIEIO
and furnished him with a couple of good photos and here is the resulting pattern. No I haven't cut it yet I just got it yesterday and I converted it to red and white.
So hopefully by this weekend I will have something to brag about and hang on the wall in my Man Corner. LOLOL
Thanks a bunch Ray all the credit goes to you,

The Coffee Shop / Jesus loves me for seniors

« on: August 11, 2013, 03:06:09 am »

 
 
Jesus Loves ME
(For Seniors & Adults) 

While watching a little TV on Sunday instead of going to church, I watched a Church in
Atlanta honoring one of its senior pastors who had been retired many years. He was 92
at that time and I wondered why the Church even bothered to ask the old gentleman to
preach at that age. After a warm welcome, introduction of this speaker, and as the
applause quieted down he rose from his high back chair and walked slowly, with great
effort and a sliding gate to the podium. Without a note or written paper of any kind he
placed both hands on the pulpit to steady himself and then quietly and slowly he began
to speak....

"When I was asked to come here today and talk to you, your pastor asked me to tell
you what was the greatest lesson ever learned in my 50 odd years of preaching. I
thought about it for a few days and boiled it down to just one thing that made the most
difference in my life and sustained me through all my trials. The one thing that I could
always rely on when tears and heart break and pain and fear and sorrow paralyzed me..
The only thing that would comfort was this verse.........

"Jesus loves me this I know.
For the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to Him belong,
We are weak but He is strong.....
Yes, Jesus loves me...
The Bible tells me so."

When he finished, the church was quiet. You actually could hear his footsteps as he
shuffled back to his chair. I don't believe I will ever forget it. A pastor once stated,

"I always noticed that it was the adults who chose the children's hymn 'Jesus Loves
Me' (for the children of course) during a hymn sing, and it was the adults who sang
the loudest because I could see they knew it the best."


"Senior version of Jesus Loves Me"

Here is a new version just for us who have white hair or no hair at all. For us over
middle age (or even those almost there) and all you others, check out this newest
version of Jesus Loves Me.

JESUS LOVES ME

Jesus loves me, this I know,
Though my hair is white as snow
Though my sight is growing dim,
Still He bids me trust in Him.
(CHORUS)


YES, JESUS LOVES ME.. YES, JESUS LOVES ME..
YES, JESUS LOVES ME FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.

Though my steps are oh, so slow,
With my hand in His I'll go
On through life, let come what may,
He'll be there to lead the way.

(CHORUS)

When the nights are dark and long,
In my heart He puts a song.
Telling me in words so clear,
"Have no fear, for I am near."
(CHORUS)

When my work on earth is done,
And life's victories have been won.
He will take me home above,
Then I'll understand His love

(CHORUS)

I love Jesus, does He know?
Have I ever told Him so?
Jesus loves to hear me say,
That I love Him every day.
(CHORUS)
 
YES, JESUS LOVES ME.. YES, JESUS LOVES ME..
YES, JESUS LOVES ME FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.

God Bless Us All !
