Last day of the YEAR

2006 was full of strange but true stories. Why should this last day be any different? I saw this on MSNBC. (Hi there picture surfers for old ladys) :-)

MADRID, Spain - A 67-year-old woman has given birth to twin sons in the northern city of Barcelona, a hospital official said.
The woman, whose identity has not been revealed, gave birth Friday by Caesarian section, according to an official at Sant Pau hospital who spoke on condition of anonymity because of hospital policy.
The mother and twins all were doing well though the newborns were both in incubators, the official said.

When these "Twins" are 33, Mom will be 100. I hope they don't want to go out dancing for their birthdays.

2006, 2007?

The year of 2006 was an interesting ride. I would compare it to a Ferarri with a bad braking system. I watched the company that I have worked for over a decade crumble into 2nd rate junk pit, go through a buy-out, and then be torn to shreds. Seeing this coming, I took on every opportunity that came my way. This year, I believe that 1/4 of my income came from my own deals, side jobs, and temporary cash work.

After a transformation period I ended up with a new company that has shown some promise as a reliable and growing entity. Of course, hating change and a reluctance to accept authority, being the new guy is a really hard task to deal with on a daily basis. A wise man once told me that it usually takes half of one calendar year to become at ease with a career change. This is definitely true. I have now overcome the initial shock, yet I am still feeling somewhat like a fish out of water.
With all this going on, my golf season was curbed to a slow moving turtle, (*&#$@!) I started out in April by logging 22 rounds. The month of May, I played at least 20 times. After that, It was very hard to get out once a week. I had very high goals for the year, and seemed on my way to accomplishing them, until lives unpredictabilities changed my course, so to speak. I did not break 70 for the second year in a row, but I was awfully close many times. Shooting "70" is fun, but I have done it before. The threshold of dropping into the 60's has been much harder than anything I have ever tried to do in my life............Is this a great game, or what? 2007 I WILL cross my finish line this year, and a grand day this will be. After that, a new goal will be in the wings. The new year? I can hardly wait!!!

Here's One!

Sammi Jr. Leftover King

I have had 2 of the best sammi's in my life history as of late.

1. Meatloaf sammi
2. Ham sammi

These were made possible by Holiday Left-overs. CHEAP!

Here is the most exspensive SAMMI

With a winning bid of $28,000, the online casino GoldenPalace.com won the auction for one of eBay's most coveted oddities: a 10-year-old grilled cheese sandwich, one side of which bears the Virgin Mary's image. The seller, Diana Duyser of Hollywood, Fla., claims that the sandwich never sprouted a single spore of mold, despite having been stored in a less-than-airtight plastic box. Is it possible for a decade-old sandwich to remain mold-free without divine intervention?
The odds are against a pristine sandwich, but it's hardly impossible. The fact that Duyser's sandwich was a grilled cheese was likely its saving grace, assuming she followed the traditional American recipe. The homespun favorite is usually prepared either by slathering the bread with margarine or by cooking it in a pan or press that's been well-lubed with the fatty butter substitute. Margarine consists primarily of hydrogenated vegetable oil, which is rich in trans fats. The fungi that love bread are typically averse to trans fats—they don't digest them well.

Moral of the story: Eat meatloaf and ham (avoid trans fat)

Car Load o Goody

Thank goodness for stretch pants. I ate enough the last two days to last me calorie - wise until January. With both "days" of Christmas under my belt, it's time to saddle up for the new work week. You can't be havin' fun all of the time.

Thanks to everyone for the great stuff. Favorite item this year? My Evel Knievil Stunt Bike Motorcycle. This one is a re-make of the first edition built in the 70's. The original molds were used to replicate this throwback toy........just like old times. I stripped the gears out of my first bike, so I'll be more carefull this time around. Am I too old for this stuff, absolutely not!

Hey DK, nice computer.

Only 87 days left to golf season 2007. * Get me a tee time. *

Hi Mr. Dave! What's shaking? Long time, no see. Stop by sometime for a cup of joe.

Mookadelanovis, is it you? (2)

How does the new HAL HANDLE? I bet you are faster than a speedcat. Don't forget to put me on your LINKS. Did I get meatenloaften`?? I bet it was rocken` brother. Did you hear the one about Santa landing on the Schmitt House? I do believe that it was the new reindeer C. Danny's fault. Ahh - he heeeeeeeeeeeee! D.L. style. I am flatuous today so don't be coming to near. I,ll be in better shape by the 24th. Road food is BAD FOOD. Stay away from the Bratturnner Spitt. Good luck, & Happy New Year .

P.S. >>>>>>>>>> you are cute.

I knew it was coming sooner or later

Today was the first winter storm of the year. Oh joy. Funny thing is, I was not here for it. Our crew had an Arpin pack and load in Albert Lea, where the weather was fine. Driving back home was a little depressing. With everyone wishing for a white Chrismas, I was in the "too bad for you" minority.

Here is a message for old man winter: You stink.

The family will all be together shortly, and I can't wait. I think I saw Old Santee flying over I 35, and he was headed North too.

Stay off the bad list, you will get more stuff.

Bogey

My good friend, companion, and best dog ever, I will miss
you. You were one of a kind. You will forever remain
in my heart, never to be replaced.

add blufr to your page too!

This is almost unbelievable, but yes, I played golf one more time today. All water hazards were frozen solid, as well as the greens, tee boxes, and fairways. After a tepid start, I warmed my game up enough to singe some of the grass on the back side. My score dropped from a 38 on the front, to a blistering 32 on the back 9. The 16th hole was my apogee, where after a 340 yard - uphill drive, I was left with an Eagle putt. I "willed" this one to the hole, and drained it. I must have ran around the green 3 times, jumping up and down. I was yelling loud enough for the entire course to hear me.

The whole day was fun, but this magic hole I am still replaying in my head. This was indeed, one of those grand days that will stick with me forever.

Me: 70
Pop: 90

Sunday's?? They are the best!

Thank you Hollydale, for staying open long after others have closed. SC

Dec. 9, Hot in Hollyville

Almost 50 degrees today is the forcast. The sun is shinning, what a nice day. We have the baby again today, she's taking a nap right now. I learned that I do NOT have the patience or wear-with-all to put a portable crib together. What this says about my demeanor, I'm not quite sure, but I don't believe that it could be positive. Moral of the story: If I ever buy a crib, tent, or otherwise, it will be a fold out variety. Let's play some GOLF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sc

I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I'm not going to sue somebody for singing a Ho-Ho-Ho song in December. I don't agree with Darwin, but I didn't go out and hire a lawyer when my high school teacher taught his theory of evolution. And life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not be endangered because someone says a 30-second prayer before a football game.So what's the big deal? It's not like somebody is up there reading the entire book of Acts. They're just talking to a God they believe in and asking him to grant safety to the players on the field and the fans going home from the game."But it's a Christian prayer," some will argue. Yes, and this is the United States of America, a country founded on Christian principles.

If I went to a football game in Jerusalem, I would expect to hear a Jewish prayer. If I went to a soccer game in Baghdad, I would expect to hear a Muslim prayer. If I went to a ping-pong match in China, I would expect to hear someone pray to Buddha. And I wouldn't be offended. It wouldn't bother me one bit. You know... When in Rome..."But what about the atheists?" is another argument. What about them? Nobody is asking them to be baptized. We're not going to pass the collection plate. Just humor us for 30 seconds. If that's asking too much, bring a Walkman or a pair of ear plugs. Go to the bathroom. Visit the concession stand. Call your lawyer. Unfortunately, one or two will make that call. One or two will tell thousands what they can and cannot do. I don't think a short prayer at a football game is going to shake the world's foundations.Christians are sick and tired of turning the other cheek while our courts strip us of all our rights. Our parents and grandparents taught us to pray before eating, and to pray before we go to sleep. Our Bible tells us just to pray without ceasing. Now a handful of people and their lawyers are telling us to cease praying. God, help us. And if that last sentence offends you, well..........just sue me. The silent majority has been silent too long.. It's time we let that one or two who scream loud enough to be heard, know that the vast majority don't care what they want.. It is time the majority rules! It's time we tell them, you don't have to pray.. You don't have to say the pledge of allegiance, you don't have to believe in God or attend services that honor Him. That is your right, and we will honor your right.. But by golly you are no longer going to take our rights away .. We are fighting back.. And we WILL WIN! After all, the God you have the right to denounce is on our side! God bless us one and all, especially those who denounce Him... God bless America, despite all her faults.. Still the greatest nation of all.....God bless our service men who are fighting to protect our right to pray and worship God.

A Rotton Shame!

Just got back from Alexandria delivering a shipment that took 4 days to accomplish. Not a nickle for a tip. What's funny about this, is that everything went well. There were absolutely no damages or claims, and the couple thanked us for such a great job on their move. "Thank You" is for holding a door open. People this cheap should move themselves! (Cambridge to Alexandria)

121 Days until Golf Season #4 with a baby in the house

One more day off. The upcoming week is going to be extremely busy. I'm not going to think about it. Today we have the baby, she goes back "home" this afternoon. She smiles a lot, loves to eat, and only cries for short durations. I think she may be the cutest baby that I have ever seen! This opinion is backed with my experience of many, many other comparisons over the years. I have seen a million babies in my time, and this one is the best. As far as the most handsome baby goes, that honor belongs to my brothers baby..........Who has now grown to be a very nice young man. The funny thing about babies is, you can't help but gaze upon them with an amazement, and spiritual connection. The beginnings of life lead you to think of the finite endings of your own, how you got to where you are today, and where you will journey through the rest of your life. A child is a fresh start, with endless possibilities. Who will she be? What problems will she face? I can't help but have the strong belief that the adults in her life will be the catalyst and guide posts to who this young life, and where it leads.........From the happiest, most fulfilling life, to the opposite end of the spectrum, in a lost despair. Parents be strong and kind, as you hold the utmost power and responsibility. Isn't life incredible? The best part is that you do not need to accomplish this amazing task alone!
When in doubt, call upon the good Lord. He will be happy to lend a helping hand.

Lets GO!
