I Miss My Beanbag Chair

I first saw this picture at Drowsey Monkey Blogspot. Is that a great name or what?
Sometimes we fail to see the whole picture. Often in life we see what we want to see, and miss the little things....for instance - do you see a picture of coffee beans, or a picture of a bald man? There really is a picture of a bald man here. Do you see him?

Important Things

Not a quality photo, but a quality moment.
Look who is over at Grampa Speedcat's house today!

Hi Morgan! This is my last tag for at least 3 more hours. :-)

OK...One more picture

Denny from Backwoods Drifter sent this fine recognition.
This means a great deal to me because of the person who sent it. Denny's blog is a place where you can vicariously live in the country and participate in his life adventures. I envy blogs that tell stories of excursions and new experiences, because my day to day life has the same repetitious routine. Not much to tell :) Backwoods Drifter is a blog that opens up to you, and shares feelings, thoughts, and ideas. I learn from people like this - as I tend to cover emotion with humor to an extent. If you have never "met" Denny, do so today! You will also notice one of the finest layout / templates I have ever seen! Yup, I really like the Backwoods Drifter blog. Thank you so much Denny.

I am in good company with this, and wanted to share the other people that received this award from Backwoods Drifter. They are: Kristine, Morgan, Rex, Speedcat, Michael, Marian, Film Geek
I am going to bend the rules a little with this one, as I have been giving some other awards lately. If it's OK, I plan to keep this one in my back pocket, and send it to others for special occasions and acts of "nice" around the blogosphere!!!

Bobby's Best Post SEO Memo :-) Hi Bobby!!

Revellian’s Best Posts SEO Meme is another brainstorm by my new favorite blogging expert and friend Bobby Revellian. He is one of the most helpful and knowledgeable people I have "met on the net". I see this meme taking off and becoming incredibly successful, so those that get on board early will see benefits from incoming links, and meeting new contacts. The premise is made clear by the following....

Start tag
This is a new fun seo meme ride for us all. This is based on the seo theory that links to posts inside your blog are more important than links to your home page. I have selected three posts I want to promote along with my site’s name. You will do the same thing.
Let’s keep it simple and spread our good work around to both share and build some ratings! Make sure you pick three posts that you feel are your best. You could also select 3 posts you simply want to promote. Your site name is listed with your 3 selected posts beneath.
Once you have your post up: Add the sites and post links of the folks you tagged onto your post. Try to add the site and post links to anyone involved to maximize the effectiveness. Tag a minimum of 5 people or go wild like me and tag 15!
Try your best not to double tag people so it will spread better! Please actually read the posts from everyone so you can see some really good work from our beloved blogging friends! Make your title a little different from mine to avoid repetitive titles. Please try to maintain some friendly updates to your post too!

Double Tag / Double Good!

Endoh, Bless, Karen, Eric, (that's me) LemonJude, Raquel , Maurica and Jamilla were tagged by Trinity to show where there computer is....their workplace, so to speak.

I made a picture to post and realized that I mixed a JPG and a GIF. It did not upload right! Ohh shoot. I'll post it anyway. Another oddball picture at Speedy's Place.

The original photo shows my simple set-up. I still take notes on paper, and use a dictionary. Old habits die hard :-) I use my dining room table as a desk. Why? I don't use it to eat, that's the only logical solution I can come up with. I like the location because it is by the window overlooking the pond in back, and that it is close to the refrigerator - LOL!

Tag # 2

Erina from Into the Inkpot tagged me to show the errors in my ways - "Grammatically" She pionted owt her own ushawall misteaks, and aske'd others to shar thier own common misteaks. Obviously, I am NOT a great speller. Until "spell check" was made available, I did not even realize this! I also use too much punctuation. I can't stop myself!!!!!!!!!! :-) Great idea, Erina! Food for thought. Stop by Erina's blog today, she has a wonderful site.

I tag Miiscellaneous Ramblings, Jay's World, Jesse, Jhoyskee, JohannTheDog, QMusings, and London to do either tag or both - I also tag anyone who looks at this. It was fun! You can do it!

Rocket Boy in Hawaii - DC9

Today on one my travels, I came across a man with a DC-9 jet aircraft motor. He sold it to me for 150 dollars. I came up with an idea to create the world's fastest "Rocket Golf Cart". My only problem is that it will be to noisy for use anywhere in city limits. "What can I accomplish by building this", I cried out. Then, like a bolt of lightning in my brain, (which happens often), I decided to jump a volcano with it. I set the BIG DAY for May 20th, because the "outline parameters" for fabrication in my garage are limited to a small tool kit and 15 minutes per night of diligent work.
You can sponsor this stunt by linking to this post. For the effort, I will proudly display your blog URL on the side panels of the Rocket Cart, and you might see it on TV. (visibility = hits)
The picture below is a computer simulated view of the actual event. It was created by the geniuses at www.speedyimages.com .... wish me luck!!

Current list of sponsers:

1. Blog Elf 2. Julie's Blog 3. Miscellaneous Ramblings 4. (?? you ??)

My Scrapbook

The Boy Inside All Men

When I was 13 years old, I started playing golf at Greenhaven Golf Course in Anoka MN. It was not the first course I played, but it was the first course to become my home.
It was 1979, and I rode my motorcycle through miles and miles of old backwoods farm roads, and then along a stretch of railroad, to get to this place and see it for the first time. To me, it was like finding heaven on Earth. I walked along the old entrance road (which now does not exist) and was amazed at the beauty and grandure of this course - with majestic oaks linning each fairway of perfectly manicured bent grass. It was one of those perfect "10" summer days and I swear I can still feel the breeze and smell the flowers growing by the clubhouse. As I watched groups of players make there way down the 10th hole, I wanted to be with them, to join them, and take part in this awesome game. I'll never forget this day, and it was one of those pivital moments that everyone has occur in their lives.
My dreams came true, and my Father bought a season ticket for me. I loved him so much for this special gift. I began riding with him to work on weekday mornings, and he would drop me off to play in the junior / senior time slots that were allocated from 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM. Eventually, my brother and my childhood best friend joined my golf excursions, and we became our own group of regular golfers. This lasted for two summers, and was probably the best time of my life.
Each round and practice session increased my skills, and I was extremely dedicated to becoming the best golfer at Greenhaven. My future goals became golf oriented, and the sport was now a passion to me, and not just a game.
When I played, I imagined myself in the great Masters Tournament, or playing in the US Open. A low scoring round was a major victory and the best image booster I could attain. When I played with a group of people I had not met before, they cheered and boasted accolades of that young player with so much talent ..... forward 28 years >>>

I played Greenhaven again one week ago. The course is different. The majestic trees are gone. The plush bent grass fairways are now a mix of blue grass and fescue. The grand clubhouse is replaced with a nice updated building, yet has no character. The people are different, and it is surrounded by a decaying neighborhood. It's class and prestige have all but left this place, and so had I.
I never found my dreams of the Masters or the US Open, and realize that I never will. I never will be the best.
Something magical happens still, as I walk onto the first tee box at Greenhaven. I feel the fire and ambition of that young boy, and his love of the game bubble to the top of my soul. I smile and feel alive again. Don't get me wrong, I'll take almost anyone in a golf match, and still feel the same love and ambition that that 13 year old did. I still take great pride in being able to demolish a golf ball 340 yards with the driver, and like nothing better than to play every Sunday.
Many things in my life have slipped by and away. Things did not turn out as I had planned, but there is always one more round to possibly become the best of "my" life. This is what is important to me now.
Most people that stop by my blog do not play golf, nor do they know much about it. I do not post as much golf related topics as I used to. When I do, please bare with me, knowing that a 13 year old boy with a dream is writing it :-)
One last note....my favorite person to play golf with at Greenhaven? My Father

Desktop Madness! Look at mine and others.

I was tagged by the blogging champion Rolando from R playground. While at his blog, I noticed this "shout" for Bobby of Revellion fame. I really like this guy too, and he has helped me out with my own blog - as well as many others. I want to join in too, so here goes...Bobby just wrote a cool factoid on Search Engines and Site Content. Check it out here, and please vote, especially if you are a Technorati member. If not, sign up and vote, it only take a minute.

The full story is on Bobby’s site at Revellian.com. He gives his insight on what makes good blogs and provides plenty of link love.

On to the TAG!

First off, my desktop is not very impressive. I run windows 98 because I like old things. My memory back up is on cassette tape! (??) Second...No I did not put a picture of myself golfing, I share this computer with Chi Girl.

Speedcat's Death Ride into Terror!

Today I worked in Fairbault MN. On the way back I checked the radar on my phone to see a massive storm brewing back in Hollydale. As we drove North, the black clouds grew closer and closer. Warning sirens were going off for tornado's, and the rain kept getting heavier. This is the story of my death ride in picture format. Please do not view these if you are sensitive to horrific and graphic fear....


This is after being blown outside the cab.

Brady Bunch with Speedcat

When I was a kid, I thought the brady bunch housekeeper was just an "old lady". Now that I am in my 40's, I have fallen head over heels in love with her. Call me crazy, but I think she needs a new man because Sam the butcher does not cut the mustard for a hot dish like Alice. I'm making my move, so wish me luck! ...anyway - I always wanted to be in the tick-tac-toe box with the brady bunch gang.

Bloggers are a Dedicated and Driven Bunch

Have you ever started blogging, and tried to catch up on things?

For me, time rockets by at an unbelievable rate of speed when I go on-line. I barely finished posting what I wanted to, and never made it to all the blogs I planned on. Once in a while, I try to visit all the blogs I like, and it will take literally hours.

Tonight my poor old little machine was pushed to the limits! I crashed twice, and here I am making one more post. I am a very silly man. All I have to say is, "I'll be back tomorrow!"

Ywawowsza Homer, that is COOL

Ohhh Man!! Here is an award from Adrian of First Time Dad Blogspot . Adrian is a great guy that spreads his good natured personality all over the blogoshere. He has brought links and traffic to many of us trying to get noticed. I say, "You are fabulous right back, Adrian!" The SpeedyCat loves the http://eddiejohn66.blogspot.com/ You are the best!!

I give this award to the Blog Elf heheheheheheheheeeee!!!!!!!!! :-)

I am happy and confused...BUT MOSTLY HAPPY!!

Blogging comedian Bobbarama just celebrated his first blog birthday (or blogoversary as some call it), and he launched two brand-new blog awards to celebrate, and to give back to his loyal fans and readers. These are really fun awards, with amazing graphics done by the talented Mike of Ordinary Folk. They are “passy-onny” type awards, so they are meant to travel far and wide and be shared.
Polliwogs Pond honored me by giving me the Best Kept Secret Blogger award, and now I get to pass either of the two new badges on to some of you! I’m going to choose blogs for these awards also, but you can award either one, not just the one you get, to bloggers of your choice. If you haven’t received one, but would still like to nominate a blogger for them, you can do that too! Just go to the official headquarters for the badges and follow the simple instructions. Now here are my awardees!
Award Rules & Instructions1) Display the Best Kept Secret or Break Out Blogger button in a post about the award —- using the special code below. Please do not alter the code, because the button links up to the Awards Page listing both the history and recipients of the award.
2) Give either award to as many bloggers as you choose … and then send them to the Awards Page for the instructions and codes.

“This award casts a spotlight on bloggers who are just beginning to draw lots of attention — the equivalent of a song with a bullet on Billboard’s Top 100 chart. Lotsa good posts. Lotsa good buzz. These bloggers are going places in a hurry.”

This list was given out by Polliwogs Pond

I Give This To..........

MY Pick # 1 (drum roll....) Jesse from Jesse Blogs it all! Jesse has been a great friend to everyone and always comes around with something nice to say. She will be the next "BIG TIME" blog soon, and I have seen her page readers grow rapidly. Hiooohhh!!! An award for Jesse :-)

My Pick # 2 (drum roll.....)
Sometimes, you meet someone, and you just know that they carry a personal warmth. The same goes for meeting new "bloggers". When I first read Julie's Blog, the words had a kindness and an open spirit. I could tell this was a place I would come back too. As being one of my new favorites, I also give this award to Julie

Obviously, I have some work to do on this post, and will name more choices very soon. For now, I will publish this and put some thought into who should get these awards.
Honestly, I have to figure this whole thing out too!!!

Movers & Shakers

Into the Inkpot has moved! Erina's site is the same great blog, just at a different URL. If you have not been to the Inkpot , stop on by. This young lady is a very talented writer and has a knack for photography. I am always impressed by her website.

Miscellanous Ramblings is a NEW blog that is published by Robert, .... and in his own words ... "A gritty old Canadian redneck truck driver" Remember when your site was new? It took some time to get noticed. Lets all notice this new site by saying hello. The great part of this new site? - It is really very good!!!!

I am so HAPPY Today!

Look at what I received from my good friend Auntie Dar

The picture to the left was just taken by "yours truly" to show how excited I am. Behind me is a towel I used this morning :-)

This is how this award was explained at Darlene's site....
Now I now have my own award to be able to pass out and am very excited to do so.
Today i am giving this award to
Speed Cat hollydale
Because.....HE QUACKS ME UP!!!
His posts always make me laugh are his site is always uplifting.

"How wonderful is that?", I say!

Thank you soooo much Auntie Dar!!!! You have a special place in my heart.

This next piece is a tag, and please forgive me, but I must cheat. I am really behind! The people and blogs here are so great, that I just copied the story... please do not tell Santa.

When the Fantasy World arrivesJanice was playing with her boys, when out of the blue she has a visit fromThe Genie King . You might think this is strange, but in The Karma Chronicles such things happen all of the time.Our brave and quirky hero knew exactly what to do ,watch and let the magic unfold, but our brave and quirky hero had no Nascar from the bleachers.Seeking help for this dilemma, our hero headed down the road to Rolando.The road passed three creatures — each of them was more interesting than the next. The first was Speed Cat_. The second was Jesse the cat the third was Cat on my head and quirky hero ran the rest of the way, and when he got there, he got another surprise!“What smells so good " Our hero exclaimed.“Christy's Coffee Break he answered.“I was watching the Tales of the fairy blog mother when out of the blue i was Feeling Happy our brave and quirky hero said, knees shaking. “Could you spare Sunrays and Saturdays ?”And so it passed that Sugar Queens Dream gave our brave and quirky hero La delirante AND Lifesnews_ and all was well.You might think this is strange, but in a week in the life of a redhead such things happen all the time.

Hello to all from Speedy H
