Tuesday before the messy storm.

Seems many people are not at work and THUS, not reading the blog. FINE!!!!

Have you ever gone to a party or a dinner outing or whatever and told your "other' that "we need a sign" for when we want to leave? So you have a code word or a hand signal right? Pulling the ear, rubbing the tummy of the woman next to you, whatever . . . but everybody knows signs and we can't use sign language SO, I have a new BRILLIANT idea.

Morse code!!! Whenever one of us feels the time is right we will break off our conversation and DOT DOT DOT DASH DASH DASH DOT DOT DOT!! No one will suspect a thing. If someone DOES ask we can say it's a new rock group or something. OH MAN I can not wait to be invited to a party so we can leave early!!!!!

BRILLIANT

Talking to my buddy Elweed who does not own a car, it seems the completion of East Washington is a godsend for walkers. The bridge over hwy 30 was a nightmare for a year. It was called the bridge of death for walkers. When expanding the road they made a very small one lane sidewalk with a very very low railing. If you met another person on the bridge one person would have to sacrifice himself to pass. Step out into traffic on east wash or fall 20 feet to the hwy below and then be run over. It was never shoveled in a timely fashion either so it was always slippery.

It's all about cars and know one thought about the walkers.

We went shopping yesterday, perhaps 7 different stores. I'm worn out from getting into and out of the car. What I COULD NOT FIND were those little colored flat plastic paper clips. All I could find were round ones that would hurt a photo. Office Max NO, Office Depot NO. Office Depot is your place to go for paper clips but no flat plastic ones. grrrrrr.

CONGRATS to Josh. A new Columbus firefighter. Maybe now I can be invited to all the good fires. He should get a job as a police officer and an EMT next. He could put out the fire, fix the oven that caused the fire, investigate how the fire started and lastly save the person dieing FROM the fire. An all in one human (I think I have something for a new TV show)

-------------------------------

WE GOT WEATHER COMMIN. going to get messy Thursday and Friday. A warm wet heavy snowstorm is heading our way. Mix on Thursday and rain/snow Friday. Those LOWS in Texas are going to intensfy and head right at Wisconsin. Most will miss us to the east but. Right now it's looking like a lot of rain and wind changing to snow Friday night! Not a lot of accumulation but we're on the edge in the low 30's temp-wise.

-----------------------------------------------

Packers are 14 point favs Sunday. I think there will be some anger coming out and feel sorry for Seattle (not really). Minnesota 7 point fav's over the Bears.

------------------------------------------------

Sharpies - did you know it is illegal to sell a sharpie to someone under 18? A guy was turned away at Walmart. Something about some chemical in the Sharpie. I had to show I was over 18 when I purchased a grill lighter a while back.

Have a wonderful Tuesday the 7 guys that are reading this.

Actually this week it is down to about 350ish a day.

OH - I bottled an Indian Brown last night- tasted pretty good. Can't wait for a month to go buy to see how it turns out!

Cheers
