So, it’s Friday.  Earlier today you got today’s episode, this one you won’t get until Monday and hopefully that will give me a chance to get some stuff out of my head that has been laying there for a while now.  To answer one question off the bat, no.  

And to answer another question, yes.

And one more, the answer is twenty-six.

Okay, now that that’s out of the way, let’s move on.  To more mundane things, I have not spoken to the Chaplain yet.  Either he hasn’t been around or we’ve just missed each other, but it has been a “bad” week for me.  I tried to get ahold of “my counselor” and SHE didn’t answer me when I asked to see her, so she might be busy this week as well.  It is right in the middle of prime vacation time for everyone.

Izzy has her counselor appointment today, so we usually do “Izzy Things” when that happens.  “Izzy Things” involve the Good Will, Thrift Shops, Consignment Shops, and… lunch.  Oh, and I usually run by my cigar shop for my smokie treats.  MY one and only bad habit that I have left.  So, we will be leaving to do that shortly.

I also … wait … what’s this … hang on …

Not sure if it’s true or not, JUST came across my phone and I’m not that hooked up to the trends, but I’m hearing that Biden is dropping out of the race.  Of course this will be old news by the time you guys read this.  I’ll let you know what I hear.

But, for now, let’s get to the laughs before I have to leave for Izzy’s Day.

I’ve meant to use this next one for last couple of issues, but have forgotten, so I’m going to put it in early so I don’t forget again.

I’m not sure if I used this one or not (and I’m too lazy … or … um … I mean, I’m too busy to go and look it up and see if I have.

Actually very interesting, especially as it came out in the year that I graduated High School.

I would LOVE to have this!!!  Can you imagine this in your front yard?  It would definitely tend to keep the critters out of the garden!

The third largest flying bird in wingspan is this Andean condor(Vultur gryphus) with a wing span of 3.3 meters behind the Great white pelican with a 3.7.  The Greatest of all is the Wandering Albatross with a 3.9 wingspan.

But it is said to be the biggest and the largest of them all by weight and size and they live upto 70 plus years if not affected by accidents, disease or lead poisoning.

No kidding!

Missed a spot

Lynn sent this one in…

I was today years old when I learned the “clover” in my garden is wood sorrel. 

You can tell by the yellow flowers and little “fairy pickles”. 

Highly nutritious and lemon flavored.

I think I might have some of that some “clover” in my garden, too.

These ladies will go to ANY length to sell their Tupperware and their Avon!  (Although, I’m probably really dating myself with that crack.  Are Tupperware and Avon still a thing?)

Pop Smith just sent me this one.  It’s actually pretty cute.

Yeah, see I’d have to raise my hand on that one, too.  I always make a note of what the original time the GPS says when I start out on a trip and then it is my goal to beat that time.  The more I beat it by, the better I did.  I can ALWAYS beat it, but depending on the length of the trip, how MUCH can I beat it BY?  Ah, now there’s the contest!

Okay, this one is from Joe and it’s VERY GOOD.  The question is asked, “How did she do that?” and I gotta say, “Beats the heck outta me!!”

Louisiana, New Orleans Law

Snakes are not allowed within 200 yards of the Mardi Gras parade route.

A man parked his car at the supermarket and was walking past a row of empty shopping carts when the cart-girl standing there called after him, “Excuse me, did you want a cart?”

“No,” he answered. “I’m only after one thing.”

As he walked into the store, he heard her murmur,
“Just like a man.”

Absolutely Fantastic!

I heard that the BabylonBee also reported that Jack Smith filed two new charges against Trump.  They were:

Avoidance of a Targeted Projectile
Interfering With an Assassination Attempt

These guys just won’t quit!

Don’t lose friendships today over two men who don’t even know your names.

It’s okay to have different political views and still maintain love and respect for each other.

What would happen if they added a “NONE OF THE ABOVE” option to the ballot and that is the one that got the most votes?  Would they then have to kick out those two choices and start all over again with two more until someone clearly won?  Wouldn’t that be better?  If a clear majority of the people didn’t want EITHER ONE of the candidates? 

And Bakeries and Cookie shops, we gotta work something out.

So, it’s really surprising that I got this picture the other day…

Because that very same day, in the mail I received a toy I had ordered for myself…

I haven’t started building it yet cause I’m in the middle of a tri-plane that I’m working on right now.  Just stupid little things that I like to do to keep my hands busy.  I have no real talent, so I have to build from a premade kit, but it’s fun.  And wood because it’s easier for me.  Now, my buddy Wheats has talent like you wouldn’t believe with plastic models.  He adapts them and changes things on them and paints them realistically.  Again, with wood, I can leave them “Wood Colored” and they still look good.  Then there’s Stephen B. who’s stuff we’ve shown before who also works with wood, who, like my dad, can take a BLOCK of wood and remove everything “that doesn’t look like a horse”.  Yeah, I don’t have any of that.

Now THAT is a great table!

Who still has one?

I can still remember going to the Electrical Supply Store (may have been an early Radio Shack) with my dad to test the tubes to get new ones.  They had a machine that you would plug them into to test them.

No, it’s not a rustic hanging shelf…it’s a swing.

A worried bum entered a doctor’s office.  “Doctor,” he said, “you’ve got to help me.  I swallowed a silver crown about five years ago.”

“Good heavens, man!” screamed the doctor. “Why have you waited five years?  Why didn’t you go to a doctor the day you swallowed the silver crown?”

“To tell the truth,” replied the bum, “I didn’t need the money at the time.”

Some good information, but not translated very well…

So, The end of another issue.  Where I want to say so many different things, but can’t seem to find the words.  Mostly because my life is pretty full right now.  That’s a good thing, I guess.  But, I’m asking for God to correct some things in my life that I need help with.

So, my friends, do me a favor and keep me in your prayers and until we speak again, may God Bless you and keep you.
