QT jumped out a window again. I didn’t fall chasing her this time. I changed tactics and called her instead. When she saw me i turned away and she fallowed me!!! 😀 We seem to be making some kind of progress.
At first, I thought you meant that you were all through using hand tools, which I thought was an odd conclusion to come to. THEN, after the 3rd or 4th reading (and also, watching the video), I realized finally that you were saying, ” done [made] with hand tools.”
Just had to share how clueless I can be at times! lol

Margarita — name: (Of possible interest to MontanaLady)
Margarita is a feminine given name in Latin and Eastern European languages, originally derived from Persian
Morvared meaning ‘pearl’, which is cognate with the Sanskrit मञ्जरी (mañjarī) meaning ‘pearl’ or ‘cluster of
blossoms’. In Latin it came from the Greek word margaritari (μαργαριτάρι), meaning pearl, which was
borrowed from the Persians. The flower daisy is called margarita in Spanish, Greek and other languages. The
name is also used in Albanian, Greek, Bulgarian and Russian. Margarita is a variant of the likewise Persian-
origin given name Margaret.
The traditional short form of this name is Rita.
It looked interesting, but the best I could find is goreng translates to “fried” in Malay. Sempoi seems to translate to “cool or awesome”. Looking up goreng sempoi, there are a lot of different dishes, identified with modifiers such as macaroni, nasi (rice), etc. Like this one, most look pretty tasty.

Oh, look! a D-I-Y doggy door! LOL
I wonder who made it….
Golden Retriever?
Dumb as a brick, and happy about it.

When you first said the words “Border collie” it was a clue… 🙂
They’re smarter than us.
Occasionally they let us win.
Eventually, if you’re lucky, they let you earn a not quite equal partnership. LOL
“Look! I made it myself! Now you don’t have to let me out!”
Hah! No girly game tokens for Cleo! She has a BATTLESHIP!!
Awww… Did you name him Brad?
….
Well, somebody had to say it!
If I didn’t, somebody else would have later.
I’m not really here yet, but I had to grab the opportunity, cos I’m so seldom early.
LOL.
….
Now if you’ll excuse me…
I’ll be back.
Wasn’t that the former caption?
Yes… the former dialogue, anyway…
Claude originally set up Cleo for that line… it comes from an oldish and somewhat obnoxious TV commercial.
…
Nighthawks changed her response because it’s getting out of date.
He wanted the strip to stay relevant, even when the commercial was long forgotten,,,
…
But Claude still sets up that line… so some of Cleo’s public just refuse to let go.
Imagine.
#rhetorical
You ask, you get an answer.
#polite
you guys are definitely paying attention
Hey! – We’re not here for fun!
Cleology is a serious matter that takes years to master; decades even.
Many try.
Well, who has the little dog?
Beautiful work.
The subtitle in the video:
The “shrimp lock” that I used on this piece is a particularly complex one, and making it was tough.
The attachment below is a magnified screen snip of that shrimp lock. It comes from: HERE.
Done using hand tools.

All I can do is ‘smile’.
Good night Everyone. See you tomorrow.

Just in case y’all are wondering….
“Not contagious…
Just bad at breathing.”
T-shirt
I’ve had a couple of clients that would wear that.
I need one!
Good morning Balladeers, (((((Plods))))) and Miss Susan!
Good morning, Cleophanatics! and…… Dry
Monopoly with land mines? I choose the little M1A1 piece.
Y’all have some macaroni, take a walk, spend some time at the dive bar and top it off with a strawberry sundae.
(((((HuGz!)))))
To go with your strawberry sundae.

Sigh…. I’ll have to stick to the sundae. Danged doctors
that be a COOL name to have…..maybe we can get the Montana Lady to
change her name to Margarita!
When I had the job I retired from, this guy from So. America had to come into my office. He always greeted me with Hello Señorita Rita.
And, my favorite is a Strawberry Margarita. Smooth……
And yes, you can call me Margarita.
Nice, Alexi.

How generous of Cleo!
Remind me to NOT play Monopoly with her.
Great ‘wake up’ music today, NH. Did y’all see that drummer from the Ventures? I wonder how many cups of coffee HE had!
Cleo is one of those that makes her own rules.
I enjoyed the New York video. Sure glad we’ve relaxed our wardrobe!
