Hello from the Library

Hey everyone (hearing crickets here).

My computer is on the disabled list at the moment which is why I didn't post last week. I am still trying to find the parts to fix it. No that's not quite true, I am still trying to find the money to buy the parts to fix it. Computer parts just aren't in my budget at the moment.

So here I am at the public library blogging. But on the bright side this is free. If they would just open the library at 4 am I wouldn't have any reason to have internet at home. I may just get rid of it yet. That would go along with my downsizing and simplifying phase I am currently going through. But anyway.....

Some good news. I got my boat working. Yea me!!! So we got to go out in the boat last weekend and man was that nice. Lets just hope it keeps running. And now it is on to bigger and better repairs. I am on a roll though so I can do it. :)

Well not much else to say right now. As Arnold said; I'll be back!!!

Take care and have a great day,
Greg

Thank goodness for the Libraries and free internet.

You boating sounds so fun....Haven't been out in a boat for years. Growing up my dad build a really nice boat for the family and a little canoe for us kids.

Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper

Image
Were havin fried chicken so crisp and hot, With tatters and gravy make sure and take a lot. There’s green beans and fatback and biscuits with butter, And cold cold milk, straight from the udder. And fer desert, get ya some pie, There’s sweet tater, apple and of course yer favorite shoo-fly. YUMMMM YUMMMMM Hee Haw was one of my father’s favorite shows. He loved it for the ummmmmmm music. Or so he said. This morning, I was thinking about what to have for supper. A couple of things came to mind. First there was some chicken in the refrigerator but I remembered Salmonella and decided not to fix that. I bought a beef roast yesterday but now I am having second thoughts because of possible Mad Cow Disease. I could always make a salad but we might get e-coli from the lettuce. Ok the only thing left is water but with all the mercury and arsenic in water these days, maybe I will just sit quietly and breathe. I just hope there isn’t a smog alert. Then I thought why not just go out for dinner. The...

The legend of Flat Stanley (A Horror Story)

Image
There are a few things in life that upset me: Spiders, rude people, unruly children and spilling my coffee to name a few. But nothing gets my blood boiling faster than hearing the name Flat Stanley. On the surface, Stanley sounds like something innocent, but I am here to tell you that he is evil and has the power to tear your family apart. Flat Stanley was the brain child Dale Hubert, a third grade teacher from Ontario Canada. Back in 1995, he decided to start this project to inflict pain on unsuspecting parents and students as well. The concept is simple: You take a picture of Flat Stanley and decorate it. Then you cut it out and there you have it….Flat Stanley. Then you send it to other people and they take stupid photos of them with Stanley or you take him on vacation with you in order to ruin your vacation and Dale should be shot or better yet put in a pot of boiling oil and slowly fried and tortured and and and Ha Ha….Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha….Whahahahahahahahaha Sorry this happens every ti...
