Twenty Minutes To Post

Or at least that's how long until we start boarding, but it is 9:45 PM and there is a thunderstorm here in Charlotte and there is a ground stoppage on all gates..................this ain't looking good. Dang.

SWMBO has been grandma-ing all week, we imagine this is how the common toilet at the Billie Bee is used, not naming any names.......................

Great Father's Day weekend, got a star named after me (hint: it's in the constellation Dumasstoria) and a neat pair of gloves. Someone heard me admiring them while watching NASCAR and voila:

And the Constitution made it through another week. Wow. What a week.

In town next week, forecasting into 2016 and beyond. Now where did I put that magic 8 ball and Ouija board? 

Not Feeling Very Funny This Week

What is happening?

Hard to believe what happened in Charleston but apparently the church and the community have come together and decided not to burn their neighborhoods. It is very sad, beyond comprehension what causes human beings to do these things.

The Big Rock ended last Saturday, the most exciting part was Monday when our First Presbyterian pew-mate and his crew won the Fabulous Fisherman portion. No one has won it over the past few years and it rolled up to $365,000. Fabulous Fisherman pays the first 500 pound blue marlin to the scale, Shenandoah got there with a 503.6 pound fish a few minutes before Carly A. Attention to detail helped win a lot of money. Here's the moment they made the announcement, Alan Willis is getting a congratulatory hug from his wife Carole:

$365,000 !!!

And despite the events of the week that can make you smile. I was sitting in a restaurant in West Virginia when she sent that picture and I grinned all night. 

There is a movement afoot to place a woman's face on the twenty dollar bill. I'm not sure why they're deciding this is an important cause, but may I suggest:

And maybe that made you smile, it worked for me. 

Grandchildren are here, BEACH WEEK starts tomorrow. I hope it is a pretty weekend, because I'm wheels up at 515 AM Monday and wheels down at 1134 PM Friday. Texas seems like a nice cool place to be in late June doesn't it? It's OK, I got a note from my doctor that asked permission from SWMBO. I'm doing my best to keep her happy, we're planning a NYC trip in July.

I'll try harder next week, and I've got some funny stuff.

Live Well and Prosper

6:15 PM Friday and I just poured some (Johnnie Walker Red) cough syrup, first one in a while.....

I told you I would post more Go Pro videos in the future so here we go, US 70, also known as the NC Autobahn westbound last Sunday, you might notice the white lines are moving by rather quickly as I signal to the camera the speed:

Used suction mount on the gas tank. When I got home I mounted a receiver for my helmet, prepare to be bored to tears by endless video from this point on, I probably won't even bother to write anything anymore, as you probably ascertained I've been out of material for years now. 

We're getting ready to remodel our master bathroom, they brought in a new custom-built toilet for SWMBO this week:

Hilarious, they even thought to bring a special plunger. I think I should stick with video only from now on. (Sometime I exaggerate, this is one of those times, that part was all a joke, we aren't remodeling....it was only a joke, please don't call and ask if we are remodeling, we aren't. You see, the toilet is on the side of the highway and is huge, so, well never mind. I digress) Had a great week in OH and WV last week and will plan to spend a week in or around NC next week. We're getting caught up with yard and house work tomorrow and then plan to use the swimming pool (Boston Whaler) for some sun, sand and sea Sunday afternoon.

This is funny, especially if you're a Nats fan

You know who I'm pulling for, bring her down to the bottom Dale, don't let him get under you (see, that was another really obscure NASCAR reference, the presidents race so I was thinking about the time Dale Jarrett won the Daytona 500 while his father called the race on CBS, where was I?) And speaking of sports teams is there anyone you recognize in this picture? Here's a hint: it was taken from Dink's 1942 HI-NOC-AR, and if you're scratching your head wondering what a HI-NOC-AR is, well you're not from Rocky Mount, and good for you! You might have to enlarge it a bit. 

This is just whacked:

I have no idea.......................

And now a religious joke:

Q: How many Baptists should you take fishing with you?

A: More than one. If you only bring one he'll drink all of your beer.

I got the message, from now on, only video!

Good word to hear. 

We begin our recap this week with a news clip: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/cat-parasite-toxoplasma-gondii-linked-to-mental-illness-schizophrenia/

Seems as though she was right thirty-some years ago.

And speaking of being right years ago, as preposterous as this seemed in 2009 Family Guy got it right maybe before even Caitlyn/Bruce knew:

That was from 2009, wonder what tipped them off? I thought this transformation came about in the last couple of years, but then again I don't read the National Enquirer weekly. 

Worked in the Carolinas this week and although I caught a sore throat we got some things accomplished. Off to Ohio and West Virginia next week. 

And I'm trying to get this danged old Go Pro to work the way I want it. How's this? Hang on to your private parts! And observe closely because this is as close as you'll probably ever come to watching the FO and/or me dance. 

I'm not sure how long you want to sit there and watch this, but Sunday I left the camera on and was able to watch some old broken down decrepit man back our boat into our driveway, wash it, and then put it in the garage (I left the camera on) Wonder who that old fart was? I have got to remember to take that thing off when I get out of the boat. 

I'll do better with the camera, let me know if you want to watch me wash the boat. I'm thinking not.
