WELL, THAT DIDN'T LAST TOO LONG

Well, here it is May 2nd already and just when I wished time would slow down a bit it seems to be accelerating.  Are there no brakes or slowdowns on life's fast track to its final destination?  I am beginning to think maybe not.

It was a cold cloudy damp early May morning so it was once again difficult for me to stir up any enthusiasm for the day.  A short drive into Bayfield for Pheebs and I and right back home.  Despite the crappy morning, I decided my next project would be to get all the extension cords for lights in the front yard in some semblance of order.  It took me a while to get things straightened out but by thinking a little smarter for a change I was able to eliminate a couple unsightly extension cords.

Temperatures came up a few notches by early afternoon and skies slightly brightened.  Didn't feel like sitting around so I figured it was a good time to make a start on cleaning up Scooter's exterior.  So, out came the step ladder, some black streak remover, and some good old soap and water.  Well, that didn't last too long, I ran out of steam.  I'll get back at it later in the week when we have some energy-inducing warmer sunny days headed our way.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( There was an old guy wandering around the supermarket calling out, "Crisco, Crisssco!"  Finally a store clerk approached. "Sir, the Crisco is in aisle five."  "Oh," replied the old gentleman, "I'm not looking for cooking Crisco, I am calling my wife."  "Your wife is named "Crisco?"  "Nah," he answered, "I only call her that when we're out in public."  "Oh? What do you call her when you are at home?"  "Lard ass."

When my three-year-old son opened the birthday gift from his grandmother, he discovered a water pistol. He squealed with delight and headed for the nearest sink.  I was not so pleased. I turned to Mom and said, "I'm surprised at you. Don't you remember how we used to drive you crazy with water guns?"  Mom smiled and then replied, "Oh, I remember...."

"Dad, can you write in the dark?"
"I think so. What is it you want me to write?"  "Your name on this report card."
