Bobby...u come in here with that painted on Speedo and ewe expect a clean room...lol
whoops.





Then there was the time we borrowed a military bus and took it off base...I was sober...hence the reason I drove...my two buddies that had arranged some entertainment for a group of foreign visitors needed a sober driver. MyMyMy...if anyone had figured out I wasn't military and the bus was over the International Border etc etc.

evening all.. I semi-remember once party-ing with some German girls off a cruise ship that stopped in Nassau while we were on port-a-call there... woke up a few days later on a beach in Mexico, with NO idea how I got there... was AWOL, missed movement( which means the ship sailed without me)... cost me two months pay and a stripe for 6 months...good times! it was a growth experience though, I got to experience a Mexican jail...

Not much happening this evening, THE BOSS has gone to Az to visit her folks, so I am a bachelor for a few days... good time to shop for a new truck.

Ohhhh, a new truck. That should make your wife happy.

Gawd you guys crack me up.
I thought I was the only person who had an embarrasing barf incident.
Scotty, like you I find it can be pretty fun being the only sober person in a group. Wish I had figured that out earlier in life.
Guess Fiverbob is going to either pretend he has never been stupid or plead the fifth.

-Get this, My Dr. at the clinic is on vacation and they have some temp gal filling in.
I went there today to get my BP meds and stuff renewed. It was really busy.
-Normally with a new Doctor they introduce themselves and chat for a moment but she came in after the nurse was done with my vitals and stuff
and with no intro, immediatly starts telling me that Low Testosterone is normal but it usually doesnt occur in people my age.
-Than she started asking some really personal questions including how I was uh,-responding to my girlfriend or boyfriend.
-She had the wrong chart. Im glad I wasn't getting surgery done.

THE BOSS enjoys these trucks as much as I do and has been known to sneer at gassers on occasion

She wants something more comfortable than my 20 yr old 1st gen so I am looking at this one:


Laramie package with leather seats and such... not sure I want a "nice" truck tho.... how ya gonna stack 75 square bales of hay in the back of that without scratching the paint??

I wound up owning 2 first gen 1 tons. 1 to show off and pull the fiver and boat string, and the other for in the woods and hauling.......bull byproducts.

They run out about the same. Haven't gotten around to fixing the normal bent and vibrating drive shaft in the work truck.

Need another one for parts.

yea, I am on my fourth right now.3 W350's with the 'rag and this D350 auto. kinda love'em and hate 'em huh?
I may keep the 1st gen for hauling hay, and use the newer one for taking THE BOSS out and for pulling the bass boat...and NO that does NOT mean I require a one-ton to take THE BOSS somewhere...figure I better put that out there before someone makes a wise-akker comment..
tho, I dont care much for the auto and HATE that its 2wd..

WHO MADE THIS MESS?! (just like the walking dead commercial)

points to floor "clean this up". exits stage right looking...um....deadly.

great to see you guys, not so much on the reading parts though.

had some house guests, second son getting his bike ready for spring, if it ever decides to stop snowing...

ready for first outside boil of sap. have thirty gallons in two days. but snow tomorrow high winds. sheesh.
took guests to great pancake house only open two months, they loved it (all U can eat pancakes plus )and I got to ask the syrup wizard a question.

they process sap in the basement, place has run since the 50s. they tap 10,000 trees. sap pours in from a three inch supply line.
I felt the clouds parted and a bright light shone .....awesome to get tips and encouragement from the best o' de best.

kinda like here.....only not queasy feeling.

Fronty- stay with the fronty....more style/less cost.
SuperCoastie-Rodeo truck pretty dodge!!! black trucks clean up nice!

Bark, you like your cardio test? the one where she asked you about your boyfriend...
Scottydepends- follow your dreams! left-arm-connected-to-the-leggbone
Scottonthebeach- sounds like a bad drink.

finished apt/dumpbox and have no energy for my harley....early PT tomorrow, they are going to put me on a treadmill in the water....like a rich race horse.....I don't feel like being nice about it. felt better about traction on my back, not the other kind.....going off to kick rocks.

You would have to tune in on a day full of topics like puking on animals and other "impotent" subjects .

Yeah, my sister gives me a hard time when I help her pick up hay in OR.
I have to put carboard and tarps all over, still dont stack over the sides and still get scratches.
With her second gen she stacks to the sky and with her older wt/gry paint it never scratches her truck.

Thought for the day:
To be upset over what you don't have is to waste what you do have. ~Ken S. Keyes, Jr., Handbook to Higher Consciousness

I am sitting here at day 2 of a 'professional development' conference of juvenile firesetter treatment personnel, listening to a presenter, who is a cop, apologize before he even starts his presentation for the swearing he's going to do. Really? I'm no prude and I do my share of swearing, but when you can't control what comes out of your mouth for an hour, maybe it's time to look at what else you can't control in your life!

C0ffee & ph00 are ready for y00!

Hi, just a quick pit stop. Read back a couple of pages and think that this weeks breakroom is misnamed. It should read Breakroom, Dentist and Barbarian shop What puking subject matter!

Heading out this evening for a very long long trip back to China. Could not get the flights or routes I wanted, so am forced to endure long layovers at 3 airports, Mexico City, San Francisco and Beijing. Leave here on my Wednesday and arrive at my destination on their Friday around midnight. In air time (18.6 hours) plus layovers comes to 36 hours. Not fun! In a couple of hours will be putting my truck back in hibernation. Hate to do that. Will be back for more R & R in July.

Will stop by here occasionally and check on what shenanigans y'all are in to now. Yeah, I know, nobody will miss me. Sniff, sniff.
