Get a miu, si Bro G man.

Any hurricane effects, huh Bro G man?

Hurricane?  There was a hurricane?  Well, we did get a LOT of rain.  Had several inches in the street and our driveway.  Also had a couple acre swamp in the back yard.  

 

Headed down to the Keys middle of next week for 10 days and of course on the news tonight they are predicting another system to be near the southern tip of FL by late next week.  Might get exciting...

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving is not for you.

Someone stole my dictionary. Now I am at a loss for words.

If Apple made a car, would it have windows?

Ban shredded cheese. Make America Grate Again .

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Deport him and you never have to feed him again.

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

I went bald but I kept my comb.  I just couldn't part with it.

My name is not Richard Edward but my friends still call me DickEd

If your pet has a bladder infection, urine trouble.

"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow."

I fired myself from cleaning the house. I didn't like my attitude and I got caught drinking on the job.

My kid has A.D.D... and a couple of F's

Carrots improve your vision.  Alcohol doubles it.

A dung beetle walks into a bar and asks " Is this stool taken?"

Breaking news.  They're not making yardsticks any longer.

Hemorrhoids?  Shouldn't they be called Assteroids?

If life gives you melons, you might be dyslexic.

If you suck at playing the trumpet, that may be why.

Friday ES report, see man:

 

We attended all Many (2+2+2) ESs, reliable we man.

 

The first and Many'rd yielded the take, see man:

 -- seemingly full can compressed air = half a buck, steal man

 -- NIP gently expired bottled ketchup, pack notebook paper, Many-lb. ([2x2x2]-lb.) jar 

          dishwarsher powder = half a buck, steal man

Total = $1

 

Note, see man:  Given distance, traffic, and idiotically slow drivers, we could very well have skipped the final Many (2+1) ESs, but who knew man.

Many (2x2x2x2 -2-1) were duds, cipher we man.

This translates to a Many% ([2x2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2x2 +2+2+2+1]%) dud rate, all-time record man.

However, the 2 ESs that paid off did so very well, see Friday ES report man.

I'm on VACATION!!  We actually cut out a little early yesterday to start our trip down here to the Keys.  Hope the boss doesn't fire me! LOL 

Once upon a time I was the boss, but since my wife arrived and started working in the office... well, you know the rest of the story.  It's OK though because I'm sleeping with the boss.

 

Just finished a little maintenance on the boat changing gear lube, and ready to put her in the water as soon as I get some lunch.  Have some friends coming down later today and they will be staying until Saturday.  We are here for a week and a half.  No phone calls from grumpy patients.  No alarm clock.  Traffic yesterday was much lighter than usual.  Got to enjoy it now because in a couple of months the snow birds will be arriving and it will be crazy busy.

 

Time to eat and get out on the water.

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving is not for you.

Someone stole my dictionary. Now I am at a loss for words.

If Apple made a car, would it have windows?

Ban shredded cheese. Make America Grate Again .

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Deport him and you never have to feed him again.

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

I went bald but I kept my comb.  I just couldn't part with it.

My name is not Richard Edward but my friends still call me DickEd

If your pet has a bladder infection, urine trouble.

"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow."

I fired myself from cleaning the house. I didn't like my attitude and I got caught drinking on the job.

My kid has A.D.D... and a couple of F's

Carrots improve your vision.  Alcohol doubles it.

A dung beetle walks into a bar and asks " Is this stool taken?"

Breaking news.  They're not making yardsticks any longer.

Hemorrhoids?  Shouldn't they be called Assteroids?

If life gives you melons, you might be dyslexic.

If you suck at playing the trumpet, that may be why.

Dogs can't take MRI's but Cat scan.
