Good Morning CGs!

The kids had a ball at the zoo yesterday, didn't want to leave as usual. We still spent about 4 1/2 hours there and you could easily spend 8 or more if you wanted to visit every attraction. So we mix it up a bit for each visit. After the zoo we stopped at a little local restaurant we like and had some grub and an ice cream treat. Got home and went to meet Rick to kill some paper bad guys. Had a nice time there and got to try out Rick's new sig sauer .45 polymer gun. I shot a nice tight group at about 15 feet. Gun had a long trigger pull but was a nice feel overall.

Folks area leaving today which is a bummer, always seems too short of a trip. I'm back to work which is also a bummer...lol.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Matthew

Good morning.

So Matt and crew went to the zoo. Did you see this guy?

Critter of the day.

I didn't get around to making my list yesterday. Perhaps I'll get to it today. I have to go make a deposit uptown at my credit union. I have that account for only one reason, to pay my monthly dental insurance premium. I've had my dental insurance through them for 25 years or more. Looks like I'll take the 90 for a ride. See if I can block everything out and just

Enjoy the ride ___________ ________

Happy Friday! Morons must have the day off - my commute was perhaps the most hassle-free I can ever remember. Nice day here, gonna be sunny and 79, perfect.

Enjoy your day, Gurus!

Morning guys....Rosie got off work at 5 yesterday and when she came home she told me "let's go out to eat tonight for our anniversary", since one daughter and kids will be here today. So we drove over to the "city" and had a nice supper, picked up some groceries and came home. 38 years is nothing to sneeze at guys.

Not much going on today for me. Daughter and kids from KC coming in for a few days. She has some work out here at the "city" and figured it would be a good time to bring the kids to see Gpa and Gma.

I still have a couple projects i need to get done before school starts, but if I don't...oh well.

Congrats on your anniversary, Tom!

Got back a little while ago from my ride. The forecast was calling for dry weather so of course the skies are gray with intermittent showers. The Vette did not melt in the rain, thankfully. It ran well and I treated my ears to a Molly Hachet cd on the way home. Glad one of the Vettes is running good. Nice little cruise.

"Tenjooberrymuds". It will make sense after you read the following.

I was recently in Miami and decided to learn the Spanish language, so I could understand the check-outs at McDonalds.
My next move is to learn Indian, so I can understand my doctors and the person that answers the phone when I have a warranty problem.
Yep, by the time I read this, I was able to understand the 1st line. Read on and you will too - or don't bother going South of Jacksonville, Florida.

"TENJOOBERRYMUDS"...
In order to continue getting-by in America (our home land), we all need to learn the NEW English language! Practice by reading the following conversation until you are able to understand the term "TENJOOBERRYMUDS". With a little patience, you'll be able to fit right in. Now, here goes...

The following is a telephone exchange between maybe you as a hotel guest and room-service somewhere in the good old U S A today.......

Room Service : "Morrin. Roon sirbees."

Guest : "Sorry, I thought I dialed room-service."

Room Service: " Rye . Roon sirbees...morrin! Joowish to oddor sunteen???"

Guest: "Uh..... Yes, I'd like to order bacon and eggs.."

Room Service: "Ow July den?"

Hilarious!!!!

Happy anniversary, Tom 38 years is impressive...

speaking of hoarding bacon like bullets - a friend of mine has a box of 22 shells (500 to a box) paid $9.99 some time ago for the entire box. Thanks to the gubmnt those things are high as hell now... the local pawn shop that buys them offered him $400 for the box. JEEZ! I'd been all over that. He did sell the guy some rounds, more than doubling his money and the pawn shop dude will in turn, make a tidy profit as well. Too bad he didn't have any I could use for the .40 or the 30.06

And - to whomever sent me the sunshine I requested - thank you - many thanks! got kinda cloudy this morning, but then the sun popped out while I was running a couple of errands and I got home in time to jump in my swimsuit and jump in the lawnchair like a lizard on a rock and soak up my due share of it. 60% chance of rain tomorrow and again through Tuesday. Was through Thursday but they've taken two of the rainy days out of the forecast.
Actually got to uncover and drive the Vette for the first time in what, two weeks?? Forgot what color it was, surprised it started....

Holy crap! I have a few bricks that I had before the Sandy Hook shooting. Wish I had more. I don't know anyone that would pay that kind of money though. WalMart around here never has any on the shelf, I go up there a lot on Saturday mornings and I never see any. I think they get like ten boxes in a week and the employees buy it all up.

Congrats TB, glad you got to go out to dinner with the wife.

Didn't see that, Tommy.

This is my daughter's new favorite animal at the zoo....because it looks like a zebra and a horse at the same time. It's called the Okapi, it's African.

The little one looks like it has some hyena.
