Even the Glenlivet 40 is a nice color, you wouldn't think so with 40 year old whiskey, but I guess it doesn't turn, you think they could have at least given me something fresh, but I guess the older it is the cheaper it is. I used the last bottle for cleaning parts when I ran out of No2 heating oil.

Jim, I think you need to get out of the House and go nail up "Wanted Dead or Alive" posters for the Old Tom Cat :!: :chuckles:

Oh I know were he is, he has the Old Man protecting him, the Old Man caught me coming out of the storage box with the cat carry cage and knew right away what I had in mind. So much for that plan.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Tell the Old Man it time for his colonoscopy, and grab the cat while the old man is going to check his calendar.
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

That's pretty mean, isn't it?

Glad to hear it, for his sake, but it would still divert his attention from the cat, I am thinking. :)
