Images from a Thursday afternoon


There are reasons to love the Goat (and yes, he successfully eliminated the glug-glug-glug).


Lecho sandwich prior to being folded in half and eaten hot-dog style by resident Irish Hungarian.


Yes, there are a bunch of bikes including an old-fashioned tandem in the House of Goat and Irish Hungarian.


Did I mention that there are reasons to love the Goat? (And your humble hostess does indeed expect at least one voice to rise up from the general readership and comment on this device, which is about three hundred years old and virtually indestructible [to clarify, your humble hostess is referring to the device the Goat is dragging and not the Goat proper]).

Floor Jack

Bill the Wrenchbender said...

Ancient, awesome floor jack. The stories it could tell....

Leslie Morgan said...

Something very enticing about a sandwich with "lech" in it.

That is one kick-ass floor jack. I have a much lower one that I still have to work under the Miata with a prybar, but it's nowhere near the awesome jack of Goat.

I'd place that jack in the 40's.

The guy that made the dies that stamped the side panels ate lecho for lunch twice a week. The guy that ran the casting line that made the wheels knew by sight, sound and smell just when to sprinkle in some kill, a mix of aluminum and silicon. Kinda like garlic and paprika, just the right amount at the right time. Them wheels are harder than Chinese algebra.
His youngest cousin enlisted and went over to knock the snot out of the Nazis at the Siegfried Line.

Ha, that look in his eye is saying 'About your business Woman. This's mans work'. Or of course, there is the standby 'would you ever f%^& off'.
And why do you lot insist in putting sausages in perfectly good veg stew. Tisk, bloody O'Briens.

It's a Goat Jack. You know,...for goats.

Judy said...

Planning using a couple of those floor jacks to rotate my tires this weekend...Hubby get ready!!

Contrary Guy said...

had an old hand-me-down car jack just like that; less rusted looking but frozen solid, so I can't believe Goat's jack is still usable. (Read that any way you care to, lol).

I don't know much about floor jacks, other than they're very useful in a garage. I do know that Eric is a very nice guy, and by all accounts a good husband and father. That, and he successfully withstood my lamentations on how we, as Americans have lost touch with our food traditions during my tour of the West Side Market with him and our humble hostess. I cherish the memory of eating lunch with him and Erin on the balcony of said market, and look forward to our next non-partisan visit.
