Kickass River Hex goes on
Kickass, the doorstop dog, says the Wisconsin River hex that was put on the keeper when he and son Mike tried to float the river and ended up on a desert-like sandbar is apparently still in place.
Back at home, the dismantling of the outboard to replace a sand-damaged impeller, a task that is out there on the edge of the keeper’s capacities, went fairly smooth and then with the motor back together a test was about to be undertaken when an extra part was spotted on the work bench, a rather large part, a part that goes deep in the innards of the outboard and means another complete dismantling. Like baking a cake and forgetting the sugar.
And that happened too, sorta. The keeper was the first to be served a strawberry dessert at a recent family river gathering, and ate it all despite its tasting like salt pork. Turns out the baker had mistakenly used salt in place of sugar, and this was discovered before anyone else ate any of the dessert. It left the baker embarrassed and the keeper as a foil for a lot of bad jokes about his discerning palette.

Kickass and Mt. RushmoreKickass, the doorstop dog, admits that it was inevitable that he would use his unique powers of communication to overhear a conversation between the four presidential images on Mt. Rushmore: Washington: “Who the hell is that guy with the funny hair?” Lincoln: “As the one who started the country, George, you should know that he is the one who may end it.” Jefferson: “He says he is great and he wants to be up here with us.” Roosevelt: “If he gets up here, I’m leaving. I hear he wants to sell Yellowstone.” Washington: “When you’ve been stoned as long as we have you hear and see strange things, but why aren’t those people with the orange-haired one wearing coronavirus masks?” Lincoln: “You know, George, that childhood, cherry-tree story about you not being able to tell a lie, well, the orange haired one cannot tell anything but lies, and he tells people it doesn’t matter if they get sick and die so long as they vote for him.” Jefferson: “I hear he grabs women indecently, ridicules the handicapped, makes racist remarks and believes money is god.” Roosevelt: “Well, nobody, including us four, is perfect: George has bird crap on his nose again, and there is also some on Teddy’s forehead and on Abe’s ear.” Washington: “The crows are the worst. Maybe if they put the orange-haired one up here they will target him.” Lincoln: “Not worth the risk. I’d rather be crapped on by eagles!”
