Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for April 29, 2017

That thing had better work like a lazy susan, so he can spin it around to the next delectable treat.And, no, I’m not saying SUSAN is lazy.

I wish I could relax like Bernard. This looks very enjoyable. (Until Scooter arrives on the scene).

That’s the newest product from the XTI Labs. So new it hasn’t got a name yet. It’s a belt that goes around a tree or pole – adjustable for girths up to 2.23 meters. It consists of a inner belt that hangs on the tree and an outer ring that freely rotates on the inner belt. The outer ring can be configured to hold snacks, tools or snacks and tools for you do-it-yourselfers. An optional accessory is a motorized unit with a remote control to control the rotational speed and positioning.

XTI welcomes your submissions for our new product name.

Thanks, Rose…..

Had to leave for just a moment….

a mix-up on the Key Lime Pie line….

They were coming out Lime Pie Keys.

When the little monkeys get over-excited, they start peeling extra bananas.

Thanks for stopping them before every tub, sink, blender and refrigerator in the Tiki was full.

Sorry that I am behind my times. I was making quite merry for Ed Balls Day . It’s only one day a year after all.Hey! Who picked my pocket ???!!!!!

What?

No carrot sticks?

Woohoo! Excellent squirrel feeder

He never wants to leaf it…

But he is thinking of branching out…

Do you think XTI Lab could develop one of these for hammocks ? Seems to me that Bernard has to get up from his chair and go to the tree every time he requires a drink or a snack – waaay too much disturbance of the art of kicking back for my tastes.

When I’m comfortably ensconced in my hammock , I don’t want to have to interrupt my summer laze when I want something.

I think there’s a market for a product like this.

We are developing a belt for hammock use. It goes from tree to tree but not around them and our prototype got a half twist in it so it has become a Möbius strip. As a result it tends to dump your beverage ever other time around. We’re not sure if this is a feature or a bug. Guess it depends on where your mouth is at the time.

X …. if you hang your hammock using the XTI Möbius Strip Hammock Hanger Extender,

can you stay in sync with the belt and always catch your beverage on the correct side?

I kinda gave up on my XTI Möbius Strip Hammock Hanger Extender, because every other day some friend or coworker would say “What’s the matter with you today? Did you get up on the wrong side of bed?”

Maybe I could try it again.

Yep, I can tell that I am a full time resident on the lovely Ballard Street. I had a Eureka! moment yesterday, but that was only my wife telling me I should vaccum.
