Good morning everyone,
It is saturday again. The coffee is good. Jackie has already left to run her saturday morning errands. I am still trying to decide what I will accomplish today. I believe that I am almost halway thru my weekend wine drinking...so, that will be an easy one to complete...probably should save that for this evening to go with dinner. There is the weekly wetting down of some fishing line. I believe that the schedule calls for water from Lake Vesuvius to complete this task...not sure if it is due this week or next (perhaps both). I also haven't made the required number of lunch visits to my favorite chinese place yet...might have to consider that. Of course,that will all have to wait while I consume the required amount of Folgers (soaked in hot water and strained). About 2 more cups and I will be done...at least I will have accomplished something.
Here's a chuckle to start your day...
The mother and father had just given their teenage daughter family-car privileges. On Saturday night she returned home very late from a party.
The next morning her father went out to the driveway to get the newspaper and came back into the house frowning. At 11:30 AM the girl sleepily walked into the kitchen, and her father asked her, "Sweetheart, what time did you get in last night?"
"Not too late, Dad." she replied nervously.
Dead-panned, her father said, "Then, my precious one, I'll have to talk with the paperboy about putting my paper under the front tire of the car."
Well, until the next time...please remember that I have to pay the bills

Saturday Morning Reflection #109
Good morning everyone,
Another saturday has arrived...No work, but one day closer to winter. I suppose you have to take the good with the bad. Jackie is out finishing the yard sale season....there are some bargains out there...I never realized that so many people had so much stuff for such a cheap price that I didn't realize that I needed.
Its a nice three day weekend and we have no plans. I like that kind of schedule...I am sure I can follow it.
There is an email going around about the Congressional reform act of 2011. I realize that Congress will have a difficult time "reforming"...so why not take the time to forward this one to your Congressman...I did. Not sure if he will get it or not, but it was worth a try. Forwarding that to me won't make things happen, but if a Congressman reads it then it may just give them an idea...Maybe when I retire I will run for Congress strictly on a platform of Congressional reform and nothing else....
Here's a chuckle to start your day...
As a new school principal, Mr. Mitchell was checking over his school on the first day.
Passing the stockroom, he was startled to see the door wide open and teachers bustling in and out, carrying off books and supplies in preparation for the arrival of students the next day. The school where he had been a Principal the previous year had used a check-out system only slightly less elaborate than that at Fort Knox.
Cautiously, he asked the school's long time Custodian, "Do you think it's wise to keep the stock room unlocked and to let the teachers take things without requisitions?"
The Custodian looked at him gravely... "We trust them with the children, don't we?"

Saturday Morning Reflection #108
Good morning everyone,
The first question for today is...Who ordered this cold weather?
I am not sure that I am ready for the onset of the cold. I am hoping we will get a few more weeks of warm weather. I don't quite have all of my fishing done and I am not sure if I am ready to start trout fishing yet.
This morning, Jackie decided to go and check the BIG rummage sales going on in the local area. I hope she finds some good stuff.
Josie Cat was sitting in the window and as soon as the heat kicked on she jumped down and went to the heat vent. She lives a very hard life.
Here's a chuckle to start your day....
A friend of mine was visiting a college, which had those security call boxes every few hundred feet. If you were wandering around the campus at night and felt uneasy about somebody following you, for instance, you could hit the button and have a security officer come investigate immediately.
On one of these phones hung a sign that said, "Out of Order."
Underneath it someone had scrawled. . . "Keep Running!"
Well, until the next time...please remember that I have to pay the bills

Saturday Morning Reflection #107
Good morning everyone,
Saturday morning again.The weather outside appears to be grey and dreary..still, it is saturday. This morning, Josie Cat is running a marathon. She has ran back and forth so much that it is making me tired. Alex Cat has even given up chasing her. I am sure they will be asleep shortly, after all they are cats.
Several of you will recall that Jackie and I canned some banana peppers. Well, we tried them. Let me say the flavor was intense. Next year we intend to grow MILD banana peppers in the garden...Kenny, you can open the jar we gave you. They are ready.
The reason that I brought this up is that we did something a little different with one jar. This jar is a mix of the (plain old regular) banana peppers and the last of the Jalapeno Peppers. Anybody got enough nerve to give that a whirl? Since trying the plain banana peppers the mixed jar kinda scares me.
Here's a chuckle to start your day....
An elephant was drinking out of a river one day, when he spotted a turtle asleep on a log. So, he ambled on over and kicked it clear across the river.
"What did you do that for?" Asked a passing giraffe.
"Because I recognized it as the same turtle that took a nip out of my trunk 53 years ago."
"Wow, what a memory" commented the giraffe.
"Yes," said the elephant, "turtle recall".

Saturday Morning Reflection #106
Good morning everyone,
Yippeee!!! Saturday again. Way better than working. The cats are wild this morning. Running back and forth and then the cat fights begin.
The work week was very long...since it was the first week back from vacation. Paperwork was piled everywhere and I still can't see over the top of the piles. It will still be there when I get back.
This weather change is awful. I am not ready for Fall/Winter. Can we please have summer back?
Here's a chuckle to start your day....
A truck driver was heading down the highway when he saw a priest at the side of the road. Feeling it was his duty, he stopped to give the priest a ride. A short time later, he saw a lawyer with a briefcase on the side of the road and aimed his truck at him.
At the last second, he thought of the priest with him and realized he couldn't run over the lawyer, so he swerved, but he heard a thump anyway. Looking back as he drove on, he didn't see anything.
He began to apologize for his behavior to the priest. "I'm sorry, Father. I barely missed that lawyer at the side of the road."
But the priest said, "Don't worry, son. I got him with my door."

Saturday Morning Reflection #105
Good morning everyone,
I guess everyone now knows that last weekend we were at Garden City, SC. The weather was great, the fishing was great, and the company was great (apparently we had a great time). I will split the credit for scheduling our trip (between hurricanes) with Jackie.
Jackie says she is going to post the pics on her facebook page...and before anyone even asks me...they call the place "Drunken Jacks" for a reason. I think there is already a picture of that.
Here's a chuckle to start your day....
A Grandmother was surprised by her 7 year old grandson one morning when he had made her coffee.
She drank what was the worst cup of coffee in her life. When she got to the bottom there were three of those little green army men in the cup. She said, "Honey, what are the army men doing in my coffee?"
Her grandson said, "Grandma, it says on TV-'The best part of waking up is soldiers in your cup!'"

Saturday Morning Reflection #104
Good morning everyone,
It's saturday once again and I am so excited. Many of you know why I am excited and the rest will find out in next weeks blog. I am looking forward to the MU game. This young inexperienced team is going to start with a nationally ranked foe. GO HERD.
A friend of mine has a newsletter that you should look at. Here is the link Dawns Newsletter
The man told his doctor he wasn't able to do all the things around the house that he used to do. When the examination was complete, he said, "Now, Doc, I can take it. Tell me in plain English what's wrong with me."
"Well, in plain English," the doctor replied, "You're just a plain old lazy bum."
"Thank You." said the man. "Now give me the medical term, so I can tell my wife!"
Well, until the next time...please remember that I have to pay the bills
