Today is really a beautiful day. The whole family (Amy, Floyd, Joe and me) went for a quick ride. We won't be able to do this after April.

Amy ordered "The Cheesy Bacon Cheese Burger" for lunch today.

That thing on top that looks like a chicken patty is really deep fried cheese!!!!

Amy said that's what Floyd wanted....

Recession Rip-off!!!

I would first like to thank Denny's for the free breakfast deal!!! I'm personally too lazy, and I have a job, to wait in line for a free meal. However, Denny's proved to many what a good deal free is.... There was a line out the door at about every Denny's... I bet Denny's did more for the economy than the $700,000,000 bank bail out package...

I love a good deal... And with the economy going down the sh!tter you would think a guy could find some deals... For example, Circuit City is closing and the best they can come do on a liquidation sale is 10-25% off on items you can't return.. Then the company complains that their going out of business sales aren't reducing their inventories... Well, I guess it no qwinkie dink that their going out of business... They can even successfully put together a liquidation sale...

Sunday I was driving and stopped in at an Arby's. All I wanted was a roast beef.. It's was $2.79 plus tax! What happened to 5 for $5?

Where are the deals? I'm going to curb my spending until I can get something for nothing.. Ya, it might cost you your job, but that's the price I'm willing to pay...

XXL Ziploc Bags!!

I'm packing for a big weekend of snowmobile'n in Cadillac, MI. Good thing Amy has excellent insurance. I thought high vis orange would be best for safety and so the chopper can find me... Orange is also my drink'n color....

Amy bought these XXL bags for me 2 Christmas's ago. Perfect for smelly clothes... What a woman!

Grand Scam?

What's the deal? How is this free? I'm going do a drive by tomorrow and see if there are any takers.. If its slow, maybe I'll stop in...

I found this little jewel down here in Florida at Amy's folks retirement community. The first person I thought of was Rudi. He and Errin could really use an extra car and Rudi has a bit of a lead foot. Which this car could only benefit from. Not to mention it's "green" both color and e.... and living in East Minnie he will fit right in...

Got Gator?

I love it when a plan comes together...

I found a bar that serves gator. It was pretty good.. Tasted like grisselly chick... and it came with beer...

Everything goes with beer... even beer...

Yesterday we went to Shark Valley in the Everglades National Park. It's a gator hot bed.. We had to see at least 100 gators. Today I'm hoping we go to a place that serves gator...

Winter Warm Up

We (Amy, me and baby Floyd) are in Naples, FL visiting Amy's folks. It's almost 80! and it was -2 in Minnie when we left... In fact, they where limiting the number of people on the jet bridge because it was so cold.

Oh and Amy suggested the convertable... It's a Mitu Spyder, ya kind of a chic car...

Dan Kurt must be in town because the one PT Cruzer convertable was already out.....

Take 5 or Stay Alive

Yesterday I was under the weather. I think it was because I had eaten a peanut butter breakfast bar. Ya! I know your about the whole recall thing but I thought these where safe because I had one out of the box before the recall without any issues. Well I guess that's was I get for being cheap.

Now! What do I do about these! I love TAKE 5 candy bars..... buttttt, they have peanut butter in them... and I don't think my emergency exits can handle a round two..

Brown Bag'n It...

Tic-Toc, Tic-Toc... I'm going to miss these days.... Less than 90 days from now people might frown on this type of behavior...

Thanks Jon for finding this pic.. I did get my orange on that night... If you do a little checking.. There seems to be a disproportionate number of pics of me "drunk" while wearing orange.... So, if you see me in orange.... get ready for some good times....

Sadly there aren't any pics of it but when I was given the key-to-the-city of Bruce Crossing, after a long night @ the Alaskan Connection.. I was wearing... yep ORANGE!!!!

Obama Day

January 20: Obama Day
is the act of taking a day off school, work or other meetings to watch Obama related events or to see Obama related rallies, specificly the Inauguration.

Are you going to be in school on Jan 20th? No I am taking an Obama Day.

No Enstein?

Amy and I went baby stuff shopping again.. This time we where trying to register for gifts and we got in to this big discussion in the store about these jumper things.. Apparently, it will retard your babies development, something about they can't see their feet? oh' and you have to limit their time in it to like a half an hour.. I don't know, she had a book in her hand and well she's way smarter than I am..

I'm thinking if this kids jumping he's getting exercise and I have free hands for a beers... I think these jumpers are OK and what mommy doesn't know while she's at work an infant can't tell her... The thing says Enstein on it. Enstein was smart, right?

I am going to ask the Hoekzema's.. The Kurt's think Amy's nuts, and Beth is a real baby doctor..

2 degrees warmer today, but 0.2 MPG down. I don't know if I can afford this cold snap!!!

Fabulous 500!!!

Wow, this is my 500th post... To some that's not many, but to me.. As you may be able to tell... I can hardly read and write.. and for the folks that may have forgotten, I have never read a book in my entire life, and I still got a college (not an "on-line" college) to give me a BS degree..

Anyway, to the post....

My friend Nick forwarded this pic or a segway pushing a stroller.. I like that idea. I have had a similar idea where you would modify one of those remote control golf carts with a baby seat and camera on it. Then I could buzz "Floyd" around the neighborhood from the comfort of my own couch..

But Nick is more of the "outdoors" type. So I could see him suggesting that with a segway "I would be with the baby"...
