What Pleased You Today!

I tried to smoke a trout once, but I couldn't keep the damm thing lit. Must take a real man to smoke a ham.

Well, been a great week for me. My Brother came for a visit and we had a lot of time together. Went to the movies seen Furious 7 and watched the Blackhawks playoff game 1 at Buffalo Wild Wings. We hung out most of the week. Now he went back to north west Indiana. Miss those days when we was growing up in Chicago...

Replaced a power window mechanism in the left rear door of my 2000 LeSabre. Watched a video first on YouTube on how to do it. That helped a lot. The total job maybe took a little more than than 30 minutes start to finish. Cleaning up the residue from the duct tape I used to hold the window closed over the last few months took longer than that to clean off. It was a perfect day to do the job. Not to hot. Not to cool. Got it done, so I can go back to driving with all of the windows down. I love to do that at this time of the year, before the weather gets too hot.

I cut my hair off. Buzzed it. First time ever.

Took one look in the mirror... Heck, I look like Col. Kurtz.

Messaged my sister a picture of myself, she said the exact same thing. Telepathy?

Careful or you'll develop a tendency to stand straight, take 30 inch steps and yell ouhhh rahh at every opportunity.

Col. Kurtz? Who's he? I remember Col Klink from Hogan's Heroes.

You got it G - Semper Fi.

[knarf]

I guess you did that so Sesame Street wouldn't sue you? They stole the names anyway.... anyone know where?

the cop and taxi driver from "it's a wonderful life"

Been in sort of a "funk" lately. My wife took pity on me and just told me she hooked us up with a trip next weekend to Sedona. Got a deal on a rental car and a room. Do some hiking and take a Jeep tour. Shop a little and eat a little. There goes my diet ! : ) Woo Hoo !

Have fun...I was up there yesterday...went to Sedona, Jerome, Flagstaff and Winslow. Was nice and cool compared to Phoenix.

Anything I should make sure we do ? She had said she was making plans for a trip but those plans fell through so this was a nice surprise. Always nice to get away.

[Rob Hall]

Sedona and Jerome always seem to busy w/ lots of tourists on the weekends...I went to a few of the winery storefronts in Jerome, did a bit of wine tasting..had some good barbeque at Bobby D's BBQ. I mostly just enjoyed the scenery, especially the drive up 89A through Cottonwood, Jerome, Sedona, Oak Creek Canyon up to Flag...I try and get up north a couple times a year.

I hadn't been to Winslow before, was kind of a sad, dead little town with a couple touristy Rt 66 souvenir shops and the 'Standin on the Corner' statue named in reference to the Eagles song. The La Posada hotel there is nice, good restaurant.

Thanks for the reply Robert.

After a few weeks of medical scaryness that could have resulted in us losing her, Mom is back in the hospital and getting better!

[cobraman]

Now that is some good news !

[Joe Handley]

Trust me, it's been a couple weeks of hell. The last two nights, I didn't get home until 5am, luckily I have today off, didn't start until 3pm yesterday, and we just got things set up at work for 1 week of paid vacation, which I can use immediately if I need to!

[chunkypeanutbutter]

I just realized something.

I'm on vacation, and most of my time has been watching South Park online and building models.

My Playstation 2 has been on for four straight days. Whoops. Not even overheating yet; I guess that new fan I put in it really works.

[chunkypeanutbutter]

Dug out my Gensis today.

Segaaaaaaaaa.

What pleased me today was landing at O'Hare Airport after a weeks stay in a beach condo in Florida. I enjoyed the warmth and the long walks on the beach, and I was hopin' to leave my cough in Florida but it came back home with me. Oh well, I'll have to give the doc a call next week. It was great to get away for the week even though there's no Portillo's down that way.

Six months ago, I was honestly near death. Today, I was able to do some household chores, get to the grocery store and had enough energy to do my laundry. To most of you, seems like easy stuff, but trust me, it's a struggle. So I'm extremely pleased to have made such progress! Now if I could just get my model building back on track.

I found this little guy on a heavily traffic foot path at work the other day. He got stuck on the pavement since the grass was to high for him to climb back on either side. We took this photo and returned him to the lake. No doubt born this year, literally coin size.
