I’m going to try to change something about myself (i.e.
figurative and literally). It will be
hard as I maybe have been this way for a long time (i.e. I have been had). It will be as hard to change as my golf swing! But I’m going to try. I am going to re-brand as they say in business! I have been working on it but am really going
to put a lot of effort into it. It will
be a challenge. I wonder if I can do
it. It will be interesting. I already have been humbly presented with an opportunity for me to be tested. Really! Oh man!
We
took a little day trip to get some flowers from the Mennonites. It was
suggested by a pickleball friend,Master Gardener Sara. We stopped and had lunch at McDonald’s. We haven’t eaten at the Mc for a long time;
it really tasted good (i.e. if a person hasn’t had something for a while, it
seems to taste better). As I was helping
Arlene to the door, there were three construction workers also entering at the
same time. I told them to go ahead (i.e.
Arlene doesn’t walk very well and is very slow). They said—no no, you go ahead. One held the
outside door, and another held open the inside door. They were soooo nice to Arlene. It really touched my heart. There are really nice folks around with good hearts.
There are. Really! Oh man!
AverageJoe (i.e. who is delightfully blunt and unflinchingly
honest) says--Like a stalker creeping in the shadows, watching your every move,
LifestyleCreepJoe slowly creeps up on you. As you go about your daily life, you
don’t even notice LifestyleCreepJoe lurking in the shadows… Until bam! The
creep jumps out from behind the bushes and you suddenly realize that you have
been had (i.e. like you make good money but have not a lot to show for it)!
Argentinian, Adolfo Cambiaso, probably the
greatest polo player in the world, cloned his favorite polo pony and has 14 ponies
just like her (i.e. probably the best polo ponies in the world). He said all the clones have the same
temperament, skills and the great desire to play. That is really amazing to me. And you don’t need a male; no breeding. The article said it could easily be done with
humans as well. That is amazing and
scary to me. Maybe the NFL will look
into this. Each franchise would have a
Tom Brady! Saturday question--Do you think the general public would want to clone you or I? Really! Oh man!
I was checking a book out at the library the other day.
There was a super senior gal (i.e. super senior in age for sure) also checking
out. She had maybe 3 or 4 books. I said to her—it looks like you read a
lot—yes I do but I also like to watch sports—soooo what sports do you like to
watch—basketball and football but I will watch golf and other sports toooo. Really! Oh man!
I
called a friend (i.e. a farmer) and he was at the grain elevator playing
pepper. He had to call me back. Soooo I asked him if he was playing for
money. He said—No, we don’t do that;
when you play for money everything changes.
It’s amazing how money changes things.
GeorgeTheCrook said—Anytime there is pride, money or power involved,
folks change. When folks are extremely competitive, (i.e. change their game plan to win) they become a
different animal. Like my friend
says—Everything changes when folks play pickleball very competitively; they hit
it to the poorer player and the better player will poach—why, they want to
win—it’s no longer social). SusieQ
says—I will do anything to win; I’m very competitive. Sooooo you are SusieQ, sooooo you are!
Really! Oh man! "The
affluent tend to answer 'yes' to three questions we include in our surveys: 1.
Were your parents very frugal?; 2. Are you frugal?; 3. Is your spouse more
frugal than you are?" - The Millionaire Next Door
If you are a millennial, you will laugh! If you are a old fart, you will laugh. Sooo I purchased a bag of Scott’s Grub Killer
for our lawn at Blain’s. It was $21.88 with a $5 rebate. I took it to the check
out and the gal said—the bag has a hole in it; you want to get a different one—how
about a discount and I’ll just take it.
Sooooo they sold it to me for $12.33.
Soooo I fill out the rebate on line.
I had to have a pic of 5 mb or less.
That meant I had to crop a pic as a normal pic is toooo large. Bingo, that bag of Grub Killer cost me $7.33 plus 86 cents of tax. Here is the deal—Most
millennials won’t go through all that work for $5 rebate when they are making a
zillion dollars and many old farts aren’t going to mess with resizing a pic to make
it work for $5. Sooooo Scott’s knows what
they are doing. We have been had. They do that for a million folks and they
just made $5,000,000 and had free advertising. Realy! Oh man!
RickyRick
says—"We’ve all notice that the reception quality on a cell phone varies
widely. The same is true with you. You must be positioned correctly to hear God
speak (i.e. God’s noise). Sometimes we don’t give God a chance to talk to us.
We’ve made up our minds. We want to do what we want to do, not what God wants
us to do. Our hearts are hardened, and we’re unwilling to listen. When you
have a closed mind, of course he’s not going to talk to you!” Really! Oh
man! I have this saying on my bathroom
mirror about choices. Does it make any
sense to you? That is what I thought.
Really! Oh man! A friend (i.e. who seems to have a very
realistic opinion of himself and of the world) had carpal tunnel surgery (i.e.
the surgery took 9 minutes he said). I
asked him why he had it done. It was
because he couldn’t sleep at night anymore.
We talked that we quite often don’t do something until it becomes an
absolute necessity. Crazy! I changed the oil and air filter in my golf
cart. I purchased the filter from
mechanic Denny. I asked him how often most
folks change the oil in their golf carts—some do it annually, but many don’t do
it until their cart won’t run and bring it in for me to fix and say, why don’t
you change the oil tooooo; it’s been forever!
Crazy! I had to change the
in-cabin-air filter in our car. I was
going to just blow it out but it had a hole in it and it looked like a mice
nest on top. Chad, my auto parts
supplier, said it probably was mice. He
said it happens a lot; sometimes the mice even get in the car through the
filter. Rally! Oh man!
Got this response from a pickleball buddy
from WY--Hi Erv. Hope you are doing well. I'm still in AZ going north in
another week or two. Winter went fast, had fun here but also ready to go north
away from this hot dry air. Read your blog today about the shed hunting.
Thought you might be interested to know the Boy Scouts of Jackson Hole, Wyoming
sold 9672 pounds of elk sheds in 2017 for 192,759 dollars. It is kind of a big
thing out in the West. Lots of people hunt sheds here. Usually sale for 12 to
15 dollars a pound. Hard to believe!
I read in the paper soooo it must be right that 93% of journalists voted the Democrat ticket in the last election. Sooooo what does that mean? Surely that wouldn't influence their reporting, would it? It appears to me (i.e. my opinion) that nutten is reported without bias; most all journalism is not telling the facts but persuading the public opinion. We are being had folks one way or the other! Now we got women bashing women; now isn't that interesting. What are the limits? It appears that nutten is off limits (i.e.like laughing about killing babies). Dr. J (i.e. who is as American as over weight and high cholesterol) says--"In an age of tolerance and compromise, the idea that there is only one way to do something is roundly rejected. 'One way' is considered narrow-minded, intolerant, inconsiderate, and even disrespectful. So, it’s not surprising that the New Testament’s message of forgiveness through Jesus alone is not received by many." What do you think of that? That is what I thought!

TheOtherWarrenFromOmaha says--During
WWII, U.S. Airplanes were armed with belts of bullets which they would
shoot during dogfights and on strafing runs. These belts were folded
into the wing compartments that fed their machine guns. These belts measure 27
feet and contained hundreds of rounds of bullets. Often times, the pilots would
return from their missions having expended all of their bullets on various
targets. They would say, I gave them the whole nine yards, meaning they used up
all of their ammunition.
Have a FUN day my friends unless you
have other plans. (-:
