Things I Learned This Weekend

1. High winds suck the gas tank dry twice as fast as no wind.

2. The big inflated chicken on top of Church’s Chicken is NOT for sale.

3. 26 degrees outside - doesn’t even begin to describe 26 degrees outside on back of a motorcycle at night. (and snot turns to ice over 80 mph - just dying to know that little tidbit weren’t ya?)

4. Bikers don’t cry at weddings - it’s sinuses. (sorry guys)

5. It takes longer to un-bundle and re-bundle than it does to drink one White Russian.

6. Repetitive practice/attempts does not decrease bundle time. (grrrrrr)

7. Cell phones only ring after you’ve re-bundled.

8. Every time I go out of town, I leave my current most favorite piece of clothing where I visited. (damnitt)

9. Last and most importantly, occasional interaction with the outside world is good for the spirit. I need to remember this one and act on it more often.

Hope your weekend was a good one too. :)

Out til Sunday

Out of town til Sunday.

Observed at local truck stop.

3 teens enter ahead of me and greet friend working the cash register.

Teen behind register looks surprised, blurts out, “That was fast! You just called your order in like 5 mins ago!”

Translation: *oh shit - I forgot to turn your order in!*

Terrible Tuesday

April 10, 1979  We took cover in our cellar. I’ll never forget the sound - like a hundred trains running over the top of us.

We were part of the lucky group who’s home wasn’t blown away. At least not the home we lived in. My grandparents had sold a mobile home the day before - it was totally destroyed. Rick wasn’t so lucky. These photos are of what was left of his house. The spray painted writing, typical Rick - even in the face of his home having been completely destroyed, he kept his sense of humor…

Not dead yet

Simple Justice posted about dying blogs. I’m not ready to call it quits yet. I’m promising myself, beginning today, to post one entry or photo per day.

Time for aggressive action in finding my muse. Bear with me while I get my wheels turning again.

To Your Right

I added a few RSS feeds to the sidebar. They link to the 3 most recent posts at The Agitator, Grits for Breakfast, and Bad Cop News.

Cane

Bar none- the best.

Firefox

Is it just me or have the last few updates/releases made Firefox an unstable bitch?

Hard Hats Required

now if I just had some sexy hot construction workers to wear ‘em - life would be sweet. jk

If  things act or look wonky around here for the next couple days, please bear with me. I’m remodeling.  :)

Coyote Cool

This is so cool - and sweet.
