Best and Wurst

No I don't like bratwurst, should have called it Best and Worst.

Best football player name: Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, University of Alabama; and let the jokes begin.........
Worst Air Conditioning (commercial/industrial application) : AHRI Congressional Reception in August, Congress was not in session, but all of the aides were present for free food and drinks, air conditioning was not working since it was after 5:00. I sweated through my suit. Maybe at this point I should mention the reason I was there was because I work closely with AHRI and AHRI is the acronym for Air-Conditioning Heating and Refrigeration Industry.
Worst air conditioning (residential application): The house we rented in Montreat. Actually there was no air conditioning and the house was just............kinda......wet, all week long. And hot. And steamy. And I had a great time as chaperon with some fine young men from our church. Read 4 books that week. Only lost a couple of the boys, maybe 3 or 4; you know, I really should have kept a nose count. 
Best sports surprise: Tie: Auburn scoring on the last play against Alabama; Duke Blue Devils football program, this year no longer an oxymoron!
Worst sale: I sold the Mercury 25 HP boat engine using Craig's List, went into the unlocked garage a few days later and discovered the trolling motor and deep cell battery were missing. Do the math.
Best BBQ: Skylight Inn, Ayden NC. Just right nearly every time.
Worst BBQ: Smithfield's Morehead City. The last time SWMBO picked some up the only flavor was black pepper. Great fried chicken though...............
Best HVAC/R Expo: Dallas, got so much more accomplished by not having a booth
Worst Philly Cheese Steak: Some place in Philadelphia
Best Philly Cheese Steak: Another place in Philadelphia
Worst pain: Knee, after unsuccessful return to competitive tennis
Best party, wedding and reception: all to Andrew and Leanne High, April 20
Worst hangover: April 21
Worst motorcycle moment: Watching my beautiful 1978 BMW r100/7 leave the driveway heading north on a small handmade trailer pulled by a Toyota Corolla. Sold it for $5.00 more than I paid. No, I am not going to calculate the hours or parts thank you.................
Best motorcycle moment: January purchase of a used 2004 BMW r1150rt; it's as though it was built in another century, a touring motorcycle that goes 0-60 in 4.0 seconds. Do some research and discover how many cars have that type of performance. OK, now look up how many street cars can..............now look up how many street cars that are less than $50,000, new or used. It's fun to ride.
Worst impression of Willis, from the show Diff'rent Strokes:
Uncanny, huh? I can't help but wonder to what subject he was previously referring. (What chew talkin bout willis?)
Best Christmas gift for TAR:

Uncanny, huh?
Worst Batman pun, let me know if you have trouble figuring this one out:
Get it? I can wait..........................
Best Christmas: 2013. Nearly all of our plans were jumbled and it worked out just fine.......
Best boat purchase: probably my last one, 21 foot Parker; I am looking forward to making a lot of fish insomniac nervous wrecks during the next decade or so.
Let's finish with a bunch of bests:
Best fishing trip: Tie between the Little Alligator River trip in the old yellow boat and my 15 pound Cobia that the Fishin Optishin claimed he caught. Of course that would have been easier to prove if my wife hadn't taken his picture with it.


Best summer internship: Jackson in DC for the second time, working for that evil right wing group NATE. Just kidding, calm down. We were able to see him a couple of times, and took Holly, Jay and Cooper one weekend. Good times................Cooper looking for 4 leaf clovers at Mount Vernon

Best OR worst haircut, I welcome your vote...............or not

We'll end on a best or worst entry, your pick:

Personally I liked it, but then again sometimes all of my oars aren't in the water
And I realize I didn't include the super secret combat picture of NK, but it's on my desktop and will be in here next week, same Bat time, same Bat channel. Figured out that Batman puzzle yet?

Dueling Banjos No, the odd looking young man did not play the banjo in the movie, here is how the movie-magic people did it: Fake sleeves !!...
