A couple of Fridays ago the handle handle of one of the rollers on the printing printing press came off in my hand leaving leaving the core rod in the machine. I knew a loop at the end of a piece of wire should catch hold of the core and fit tight enough to pull it out. After a number of tries I gave up and of course made my way to Mercer's garage for some words of wisdom from Ross on just what should be done. Using stiffer wire Ross fashioned the loop and armed with this the core was gently and quickly removed. removed.

Of course if the debris is goo enough for the front lawn its good enough for the inside of |jhe cab of the truck. The flushing must be a major jc if you consider all the half tons i volved. Maybe that is where tl chuckle should stop. Most recent was a trip to Toroni late Sunday afternoon to attend tl wedding reception of Lisa Samu and Colin Crawley.
