Shorts, best offer all day! Too many years of fixing jets, waterskiing, fishing, yada yada....

1/2 Norski, so my summer colors are red, peeling, or fish belly white. Now for the past 3 years or so, Melanoma has been cropping up. This is the third time. Funny side of it, I used to ear mark my calves when I was younger with a notch in the top of the right ear. I got the exact same thing for the first surgery. City slicker of a doctor didn't see the humor in it when I said "wow, karma's a b....."

Evening all (Hey Claude),
Chrisreyn
The second pic looks like you are behind security glass.
A few years back my Dad, Mom and her Sister were in Jamaica. They took a tour that included a trip to Marley's house.
They didn't know who Bob Marley was but enjoyed the tour. They had tipped the tour guide and he gave my Moms Sister a few joints.
For old folks fun, they showed other people at their hotel the joints up until a policeman informed them that Marijuana is not legal in Jamaica.

Short: 1300lbs. That's a lot. Can your floor hold it?

Saw this on another site:

Air Force General: "Mr. President, we've just invented an invisibility cloak for Air Force One."

Obama: "No kidding?"

General: "That's right, sir. Will you be going along on its maiden flight?"

Obama: "Wouldn't miss it for the world."

General: "Have a good trip, sir..."

Not bashing Obama its just that he is president at the moment. Really, could have been anyone.

Morning all, coffee, ph00 and hot tea are ready for your consumption. No sprinkles though, didn't have time - - could put some fertilizer or mulch on the counter instead - - - uuuhhhh, no, don't think so.

Bark - - I like the president thingy - - hopefully that plane would then make him invisible and unable to speak. Yeh, that would help a lot.

OK, breaky and out in the yard to plant some more, prune, fertilize, pull weeds, put down mulch, get sore, scrape my arms all up - - it's so much fun. Looks nice when done, though.

Ph00......................................

Have a gudurn,
Bob

It means that picture made her reflect back on her life and it made her realize how hopeless you are, and really, what more could anyone do but laugh at the situation. Crying might be more appropriate, but it wouldn't make her feel any better. And it's quite possible that she's starting to go slightly insane, and laughter in the face of hopelessness is the hallmark of insanity. Hide the guns and get rid of all sharp objects!

I was SO excited until I expanded the thumbnails and actually saw what this 'rack' is. I was thinking rack of ribs, not torture rack!
As for the muscle-y guy, I guess I could come sit on the bench so you could take a picture. I'll be down there the 1st week of May, so it won't inconvenience me in the least!

Morning.

Bark, we're setting it up in the garage. If the poured floor in there don't hold it, we are in trouble We layed down some rubber tiles tiles. Should make it feel nice and cushy when pumping iron.


Come on Pup Pup, let's go to the park.

Aw, my tomato plants are doing pretty poor. But the zucchinis are doing great, if I can figure out what inset is laying eggs and making all these holes in the leaves The upside is I'll be pollinating them soon. Males flowers are all over the place. Waiting for the ladies to show up.
