Who was the SEL member that lives in Louisiana that was building a peanut roaster last year using a beer barrel and a Maytag engine. He was the one I got my "Lever-Rite" engine from, a good friend of mine and I'll be darn if I can think of his name. Someone bail me out on this or if my friend is reading this please forgive me for forgetting your name and give me a shout.

My Forgetter Be Forgotten 

My forgetter's getting better,                
But my rememberer is broke 
To you that may seem funny                
But, to me, that is no joke 

For when I'm "here" I'm wondering 
If I really should be "there" 
And, when I try to think it through, 
I haven't got a prayer! 

Oft times I walk into a room, 
Say "what am I here for?" 
I wrack my brain, but all in vain! 
A zero, is my score. 

At times I put something away 
Where it is safe, but, Gee! 
The person it is safest from 
Is, generally, me! 

When shopping I may see someone, 
Say "Hi" and have a chat,                
Then, when the person walks away 
I ask myself, "who was that?" 

Yes, my forgetter's getting better 
While my rememberer is broke, 
And it's driving me plumb crazy 
And that isn't any joke.
