This Day 04-27-08
This was a great day. It started out with going to breakfast with my parents at the 49er in Castle Rock. They always make a good breakfast. I had a 49er omelet with lots of hash browns and coffee to wash it down. After that we got the hydraulic wood splitter and split some maple wood for a few hours. Harv came over and helped us and we got a lot of wood split. I will post some pictures later as Patty and my Mother were watching and taking pictures. After I took Avery and Harv home we kinda just goofed off and had a nice day at home. About 5:00Pm we decided we should have our first Bar Be Que of the year. Those of you who live in a climate where you can Bar Be Que all year would not understand the significance of the FIRST BAR BE QUE OF THE YEAR! We got the BBQ out and cleaned it and cleaned the deck and the table and hot tub and commenced to BBQing. We had some pork steaks and some beans and some salad and some nice biscuits. I must admit I over indulged myself, but WHAT THE HELL, MAN, THIS IS THE FIRST BBQ OF THE YEAR!!! Whoaaa it was good. Anyway, I gotta go close up the shop, put away the BBQ, maybe check out the hot tub and maybe watch a movie. Yep, it was great day!

good joke
So.... now that I have challenged you to tell a good joke verbally I will give you little help. Here it comes.
A man and his wife were traveling across country when they get into a disagreement. After a few minutes of arguing and neither one wanting to give in, they settled down to an hour or so of silent driving. Suddenly they came upon a farm with a few Jackasses and Donkeys in the field. The wife said rather sarcastically, Looks like some of your relatives out there.
The husband replied very quickly, Yes, you are right, they are Inlaws.
I hope this helps. Now get out there and verbally tell a good joke dammit!

Knock Knock, Who's There?
One thing that I have noticed since the invention of the internet is that we have lost our ability to tell a joke. Also, it used to be ( before the internet) a big deal to tell a joke that hadn't been heard before. People would say, "Tell me if you heard this one". It was very good to tell a joke that hadn't been heard before. That art, or ability has been lost because we can so easily read, forward and forget a joke. Trust me young folks, it used to be very impressive to have a bank of jokes, and the people who could remember and tell jokes were very popular because they were great entertainment. I know you don't know this, but, some people are better at telling jokes than others. This whole generation of people who grew up using the internet has no idea how to tell a joke and no idea how some people were better at telling them than others. It used to be like " Here comes Uncle Bob, he always knows a good joke". It isn't like that any more, and that is something we lost with the internet. When was the last time YOU told a JOKE?
So my friends, I would like it if you told (Yes, verbally) a joke to someone. Can you do it?

Madrone Wood
This is a pencil holder I built from a Madrone tree branch. Some say you can't do nothing with Madrone, but I kinda like it. Most say you have to cut it while it is green and then do some fancy drying techniques. I say make a bowl, sand it, finish it and forget it. If it doesn't turn out nice, use it for firewood.
Facts to Remember
WALKING AND BEER:
A recent study found the average American walks about 900 miles per year.
Another study found Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of beer a year.
That means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon.
Kind of makes you proud to be an American.

Patty's First Sturgeon
Patty and her first Sturgeon. This is on the Columbia River just out of Kalama Washington. It is too small and had to be released, but it was great watching her reel it in.

BIG BART
This is a picture of my wife and our other dog Bart, sleeping on our deck last summer. He is a Great Dane and I like this picture because it shows just how large of a dog he is. for those of you who don't have any knowledge of Great Danes, they are very good dogs. The only way this dog would hurt you is if he hit you with his tail because he is soooooo happy to see you.
