New Beginnings

First of all congratulations to Bubba for winning the Masters again; he seems to be a nice down to earth guy who has his head on straight. I'm not sure the Masters management enjoyed his exit from those hallowed grounds, but he owns one of the Dukes of Hazzard cars and he is who he is. 
And enjoyed his dinner that night at the Waffle House. No sirrrrreeeeeeeeeeeee Bob, not unlike Popeye he am what he am.
The FishinOptishin celebrates his birthday Sunday, and it is one of those that ends with a zero, that's all I'm going to say other than I'm itching to go fishin..................Maybe April 26-27?
The boat-owner and her captain went out Sunday afternoon for the first time this year; we made a concious decision to pursue a more active lifestyle Sunday afternoon, rather than lie about on the sofa napping we went out whereby SWMBO promptly positioned herself on the front cushion and slept for two to three hours. We are active seniors. Couldn't find any fish to bring home but did see a huge pod of dolphins having fun.
Since it's Easter do you want to hear the funniest religion joke of all time? I'll bet some readers just uneasily shifted in their chairs, this is funny. From Emo Phillips: Hang on a second. As you start this, yes, I know it's a little fuzzy, and yes, I know you can't stand his voice or his appearance. Try to hold all that in long enough to listen to the joke, it's a good one. It's hard enough for all of the people and all of the religions of the world to get along with each other, ever know of a church to have issues, major issues within itself? I guess it seemed critically important at the time, but I think we are all missing the point of the Great Commission far too often. 
Jay, Holly and the grandchildren are on their way to Morehead for the weekend. Jackson and Elizabeth and her new dog Daisy are coming this afternoon. Am I to feel responsible for introducing Jay and Daisy? Pretty obscure wasn't it? Great (f) Scott!
New beginnings, ah yes. After sixteen years I resigned from Skuttle and am heading towards  a privately owned Texas company called ButlerVentAMatic. http://www.bvc.com/ Coincidentally I interviewed in the mid 80's with that very same company; I guess they ran out of candidates. I'm very excited about this new opportunity. I'll start with them May 12th, heavy travel schedule for Skuttle until then culminating with the spring AHRI meeting. 
And best of all, the tomb is empty. Happy Easter. 

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 !!...
