I got into town late last night, my plan was to ride the bike to Raleigh today for some more work....and then return this afternoon. But after looking at the weather I decided............not today. Next week!
The rain set in today, looks like a wet dreary weekend, notify the Johnnie Walker distillery ASAP, a second shift is needed.
Good week in KY, OH, and WV; I even got to visit with some old co-workers in Marietta for a bit Thursday morning, and then of course tried to sell them some fans. You know, it never turns off.
Pictures! This one is for our grand-dog Daisy:
Be the ball Danny, be the ball............................
While going through the mail today I found a flyer from the local Hospice; I was remembering how well they took care of Dink in her final days. What a great service to our community. Let's see,,,where is the humor here? Actually if you were around there from early November through early February there was a lot of laughter and reminiscing, all the while being mindful that not everyone in that building was in a cheerful mood. As you know we have a dark warped sense of humor....anyway, I remembered going there one Sunday afternoon: when I got out of my car I saw a man staring skyward at a balloon going off to higher altitudes. Being a big dumbarse I looked and him and said "oops,................. looks like it got away from you" Yeah, not exactly. But then once I got inside I had a good laugh at myself.
While surfing the other night I found this picture:
It is still hard to believe that group of guys, and some very good coaches won the 4-A championship in football, basketball and baseball in one year, and darn near did it the next year also. Wonder if anyone else has ever done that..............and how many 4-A schools were in North Carolina 50 years ago? Pretty rare occurrence anyway you look at it
Seen over the University of Richmond/VMI football game last week:
I'm not going to get political in this blog today, and I might have a little more at stake than some of the readers of this drivel, but if you are planning on pulling a stunt like this, and I don't recommend it, at least use spell-check.
My new rep in the northwest:
BTW, he is on his way to a fishing hole, this isn't just whitewater rafting. I think I'm going to have to spend a lot of time in this territory.
SWMBO and I ran away last Sunday and tried to hide for a day. It didn't work out, but we had some fun in the Alligator River/Albemarle Peninsula area. Let her know if you want to go there, she can't wait to go back.
That was in Swan Quarter, we overheard a couple of mosquitoes talking; they were trying to figure out if they should eat us at the picnic shelter or take us home, but then worried if they took us home the big ones would eat us.............no, that didn't really happen. That might be called a high-per-bowl, or something like that, my pronunciation might be off a bit.
Rainy, cooler, I hope we can fish and catch some soon, and it is about time to start thinking on the subject of reducing the oyster population around here:
Excuse me, the YouTube video calls it the Three Stooges clam video.....I have a hat like that, I know, hard to hide class:
Alphabet soup: On AMTRAK to DC for HVI Sunday morning. I mis-booked that trip by:
- the DC/Alexandria station I should have used and was able to change to
- by the departure date
- and by the return date
I plan to be home all day Wednesday, got to get a flu shot, need tires, car service, inspections, motorcycle repair........................want to buy some fans?
