Short Entry
February 22, 2013


No time, I gottttta gottttta got no time. Got the bike to Chesapeake for its annual and 36,000 mile updates and came home in the cold and dark last night. Figured that would be the wiser decision, sleet and snow were forecast for this morning and although I am a novice rider I think I'm better in the dark than in any type of precipitation, especially the frozen variety. The ride home was quite nice except that riding in the dark, especially when behind another vehicle worries me. Well riding in the dark doesn't worry me, seeing or worse yet not seeing something on the road surface, anything from a dead animal to debris worries me. The fog light throw extra light low on the surface and are very helpful.Bundled up well and had a good ride, didn't really get chilly until about 8:00 when I stopped at a rest area. For some reason getting off the bike cooled me off. Live and learn.

So this week's entry for your consideration........................................
.......this is Don Pardo

..............he turned 95 today. Tell him what he's won!
Ces't tout!

OK SWMBO, pictures of our grandchildren:


Followed by a picture of..............................let's call him Spock. His French name was sheeeethaid. Saw this in one of them there fancy shmancy magazines, really does look like him with the black spots. Interesting dog, I can see my MIL making her "face" when she talks about him. Somehow or another she thinks he was the ugliest dog ever. Funny how people's taste runs.....and that's all I'm going to say about that. 
Look! Disney commented on Rocky Mount! Not sure that's a very positive comment about my hometown, but funny nonetheless
This cat is rail purdy. OK I'll stop
Insert your own caption here
And now you know the rest of the story about the meteor...............
Rode over 400 miles on the bike Friday, needed a day to let the wind clear my head. The bike runs well and is scheduled for its annual and 36,000 mile service next week. Oh well, we didn't need anything to eat for the next few months. Good thing it's fast, that will help when I rob the banks to pay.. 
Said goodbye to Allie Ruth Winstead and Beth Lockhart this week. Allie was 94 and Beth was 37 with three children, the youngest is one year old. That was a very sad funeral. And again, that's all I'm going to say about that.

Florida Trip
February 9, 2013

What's rarer than seeing a MGB-GT riding down the road?
The correct answer is seeing two MGB-GTs riding down the road, and for extra credit, neither was on the back of a flatbed The story gets even stranger, they weren't together, must have been a rally somewhere. 
Last week this guy got in trouble.
For making a comment comparing this guy to a space monkey.
See the resemblance? Neither do I, and I think a United States senator should be more careful about his words. Words often hurt, and I've been told Ahmadinejad was so upset by this insult that he threw his feces outside his cage. 
Remember this guy. Kyle Larson. He's either going to knock every NASCAR fence down or be a champion in the future. He will drive in the Nationwide series next year, not for the best of the teams, but this guy has a boatload of talent. He'll be the KY that the Fishin Optishin likes. Wait a second, that sounded funny. Not that kind of funny, never mind 
In New York a federal corrections officer was arrested for having sex with an inmate. Not only having sex, but getting pregnant. Oh, and it gets worse: the convict is a two time cop killer. Since prisoners are not able to have sex, pause for joke insert, she was arrested for sexual abuse and could face up to 15 years in prison. The affair lasted four months before someone blew the whistle. 
The USPS will no longer offer Saturday delivery. It is still hard to believe they can deliver a letter nationally for $0.46. Sure the comedians all take their shots, but does anyone else want to do that for less than fifty cents? Still can't help but believe Lance Armstrong is involved in this, insert your homemade jokes here____________________________
The oldest known paratrooper was correct, this Cobra repli-car is polished aluminum. Want to hear it? Here is goes..............
Let's see, have I offended anyone in here? Ah yes relatives! Do you think incest is hereditary? Well the very fact that you're...........again, never mind. Best leave that one as a one-liner. 
And Gomer really was gay all along. Well shazaaaaaam.
In town all week

Do It Your Self
February 2, 2013

Busy week, write your own captions
Here, I'll start
Next door neighbor's car; not enough that he flies Pedro, he also has this Panoz race car and a stainless Cobra repli-car 
Recorded this in my hotel room in Dallas, you might need to put the buds in to hear it, what is funny is Steve's comment at the end. 
Yes, stainless
Two dogs in complete control of the pickup at Wal-Mart, complete control. They looked happy.
Say WHAT one more time, sorry, can't get past the murder thing. I hope the 50 minus one team beat the black birds. (Did I say Blackbirds)? Listen for it Sunday too. 
Rocking Rod in Hawaii, my hero
Good time in Dallas this week but I did not accomplish the goals I set. Dink has been twisted up, OK, I threw her out of her wheelchair and then tried to run over her. Sprained ankle and sucking up ALL of the oxygen in the room, her prognosis is she may possibly become a spoiled diva.   
In Florida all next week, let me know if you want some fruit, or wrinkled up Yankees. I'm guessing the fruit has a better chance.
