JimKing201: You’ll love kayaking. We used to canoe and on a whim tried out some kayaks. Sold the canoe the next week. Completely different perspective on things when you’re so close to the water. We stick to lakes, mostly state parks in PA, but went to Kelleys Island, OH, last summer and kayaked on Lake Erie. Pretty windy and we were able to surf in on the waves around the breakwater. Very cool! Also had a couple of days with moderate winds so we were able to make some progress in the lake.

Training is good! We’ve mostly learned on our own but looking at some instruction through a local outfitter.

I puttered about New England yesterday in the Skylane.

My buddy and I departed Windham, CT, and landed several times in New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts, before returning home at sunset.

We had breakfast in VT, lunch in NH, and dinner (along with 63 gallons of cheap AvGas) in MA. It was a relaxing day that covered almost 800 miles. We were treated to airborne close ups of an Air Force C5 shooting approaches to Westover AFB, aerobatic craft, parachute jumpers, gliders, as well as airliners in Boston. On one leg, we just so happened to end up next to, as in about a mile away, a Beech Bonanza with the same departure and an destination locations, so we chatted on the standby radio for the 35 minute leg. Kind of like a Harley run at 7500 feet! <g>

Sometimes, puttering includes picking up a baggage compartment full (15-20) of growlers of Magic Hat brews that aren’t available in stores, at the Vermont brewery, and bringing them home. We’ll save that for later in the spring…

It’s almost like Spring sprung in New England this weekend.

A New Throne

A tribal chieftain commissioned the construction of a new throne. When it was finished, he was not satisfied, so he commissioned another one. Meanwhile, he put the rejected throne in the attic of his grass hut.

When the second throne arrived, he still was not satisfied.
He put it in the attic and commissioned another more elaborate one.

Well, the third one arrived, and wouldn’t you know it, he still was not happy, so up to the attic it went.

Finally he sent for the best craftsmen from the surrounding villages, gave them explicit instructions, and told them to take as long as they needed. After six long months, the craftsmen finally appeared with the masterpiece. The chief was elated, and he ordered it placed right in the center of his hut. As he got himself comfortable on the beautiful throne, a big smile came across his face. The craftsmen were so relieved they had succeeded that everyone broke out in song and dance, creating quite a commotion. Then, in the middle of the jubilation, some of the structural supports were jostled, the ceiling collapsed, and the three rejected thrones in the attic came tumbling down on the chief, killing him instantly.

So, the moral of the story is simple: people who live in grass houses shouldn’t stow thrones!

Hope it goes your way Dan. Not a good time to be without income. I had a good severance package so I’m not without. After losing 46% of my retirement, I still have a ways to go.

Had some friends playing golf the other week. they had to use the bunker as an actual bunker when the police had a shootout with some carjackers on the road nearby. The police won which isn,t bad going since once of the badies had a handgrenade and a AK, but I thought it was curious that 4 of the 6 were shot face down in a neat line on the grass verge. My friends then finished their game. True story

Nothing makes me angrier than playing golf. Missing the fairway, topping the ball, hitting a bunker, landing in the water, and that’s just the driving range. But I wait every year for the snow to go away so i can get out the clubs. It’s a love/hate relationship.

nothing new on the job … big web meeting. Commercial airline spares business is way down.

got this in a email

A LICK AND A PROMISE

‘I’ll just give this a lick and a promise,’ my mother said as she quickly mopped up a spill on the floor without moving any of the furniture.

‘What is that supposed to mean?’ I asked as in my young mind I envisioned someone licking the floor with his or her tongue.

‘It means that I’m in a hurry and I’m busy canning tomatoes so I am going to just give it a lick with the mop and promise to come back and do the job right later.

‘A lick and a promise’ was just one of the many old phrases that our mothers, grandmothers, and others used that they probably heard from the generations before them. With the passing of time, many old phrases become obsolete or even disappear. This is unfortunate because some of them are very appropriate and humorous. Here is a list of some of those memorable old phrases:

1. A Bone to Pick (someone who wants to discuss a disagreement)

2. An Axe to Grind (Someone who has a hidden motive. This phrase is said to have originated from Benjamin Franklin who told a story about a devious man who asked how a grinding wheel worked. He ended up walking away with his axe sharpened free of charge)

3. One bad apple spoils the whole barrel (one corrupt person can cause all the others to go bad if you don’t remove the bad one)

4. At sea (lost or not understanding something)

5. Bad Egg (Someone who was not a good person)

6. Barking at a knot (meaning that your efforts were as useless as a dog barking at a knot.)

7. Barking up the wrong tree (talking about something that was completely the wrong issue with the wrong person)

8. Bee in your bonnet (To have an idea that won’t let loose )

9. Been through the mill (had a rough time of it)

10. Between hay and grass (Not a child or an adult)

11. Blinky (Between sweet and sour as in milk)

12. Calaboose (a jail)

13. Catawampus (Something that sits crooked such as a piece of furniture sitting at an angle)

14. Dicker (To barter or trade)

15. Feather in Your Cap (to accomplish a goal. This came from years ago in wartime when warriors might receive a feather they would put in their cap for defeating an enemy)

16. Hold your horses (Be patient!)

17. Hoosegow ( a jail)

18. I reckon (I suppose)

19. Jawing/Jawboning (Talking or arguing)

20. Kit and caboodle (The whole thing)

21. Madder than an old wet hen (really angry)

22. Needs taken down a notch or two (like notches in a belt usually a young person who thinks too highly of himself and needs a lesson)

23. No Spring Chicken (Not young anymore)

24. Persnickety (overly particular or snobbish)

25. Pert-near (short for pretty near)

26. Pretty is as pretty does (your actions are more important than your looks)

27. Red up (clean the house)

28. Scalawag (a rascal or unprincipled person)

29. Scarce as hen’s teeth (something difficult to obtain)

30. Skedaddle (Get out of here quickly)

31. Sparking (courting)

32. Straight From the Horse’s Mouth (privileged information from the one concerned)

33. Stringing around, gallivanting around, or piddling (Not doing anything of value)

34. Sunday go to meetin’ dress (The best dress you had)

35. We wash up real fine (is another goodie)

36. Tie the Knot (to get married)

37. Too many irons in the fire (to be involved in too many things)

38. Tuckered out (tired and all worn out)

39. Under the weather (not feeling well this term came from going below deck on ships due to sea sickness thus you go below or under the weather)

40. Wearing your ‘best bib and tucker’ (Being all dressed up)

41. You ain’t the only duck in the pond (It’s not all about you)

Well, if you hold your horses, I reckon I’ll get this whole kit and caboodle done and sent off to you. Please don’t be too persnickety and get a bee in your bonnet because I’ve been pretty tuckered out and at sea lately because I’m no spring chicken. I haven’t been just stringin’ around and I know I’m not the only duck in the pond, but I do have too many irons in the fire. I might just be barking at a knot, but I have tried to give this article more than just

Stay !!!

I pulled into the crowded parking lot at the Local Shopping Centre and rolled
down the car windows to make sure my
Labrador Retriever Pup had fresh air.

She was stretched full-out on the back seat
and I wanted to impress upon her that she must
remain there.

I walked to the curb backward,
pointing my finger at the car and saying emphatically,
‘Now you stay. Do you hear me?’

‘Stay! Stay!’

The driver of a nearby car, a pretty blonde young lady,
gave me a strange look and said,

‘Why don’t you just put it in park ?

A crusty old Army Sergeant Major found himself at a gala event hosted by a local liberal arts college.
There was no shortage of extremely young idealistic ladies in attendance, one of whom approached the Sergeant Major for conversation.

‘Excuse me, Sergeant Major, but you seem to be a very serious man. Is something bothering you?’

‘Negative, ma’am. Just serious by nature.’

The young lady looked at his awards and decorations and said, ‘It looks like you have seen a lot of action.’
‘Yes, ma’am, a lot of action.’ The young lady, tiring of trying to start up a conversation, said, ‘You know, you s hould lighten up a little. Just relax and enjoy yourself.’
The Sergeant Major just stared at her in his serious manner.
Finally the young lady said, ‘You know, I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, but when is the last time you had sex?
‘1955, ma’am,’ he said. ‘Well, there you are. No wonder you’re so serious. You really need to chill out! I mean, no sex since 1955!
She took his hand and led him to a private room Where she proceeded to ‘relax’ him several times. Afterwards, panting for breath, she leaned against his bare chest and said, ‘Wow, you sure didn’t forget much since 1955.’
The Sergeant Major said in his serious voice, after glancing at his watch….. ‘I Hope Not; It’s Only 2130, Now.’

A woodworker is applying for a job and must answer three questions!
Here’s your first question,” the foreman said.
“Without using numbers, represent the number 9.”
“Without numbers?” The woodworker says. “Dat is easy,” and proceeds to draw three trees.
“What’s this?” the foreman asks.
“Ave you got no brain? Tree and tree and tree make nine,” says the woodworker.
“Fair enough,” says the foreman. “Here is your second question. Use the same rules, but this time the number is 99.”
The woodworker stares into space for a while, then picks up the picture that he has just drawn and makes a smudge on each tree. ”’Ere you go.”
The foreman scratches his head and says, “How on earth do you get that to represent 99?
” Each of da trees is dirty now ! So it’s dirty tree, and dirty tree, and dirty tree. Dat is 99.”
The foreman is getting worried he’s going to have to hire this fellow, so he says, “All right, last question. Same rules again, but represent the number 100.
” The woodworker stares into space some more, then he picks up the picture again and makes a little mark at the base of each tree, and says, Ere you go. One hundred.”
The foreman looks at the attempt. “You must be nuts if you think that represents a hundred!
” The woodworker leans forward and points to the marks at the base of each tree, and says, “A little dog come along and crap by each tree. So now you got dirty tree and a turd, dirty tree and a turd, and dirty tree and a turd, which make one hundred… So when I start?”

A man was walking down the street when he was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless man (see above) who asked him for a couple of dollars for dinner.

The man took out his wallet, extracted ten dollars and asked, ‘If I give you this money, will you buy some beer with it instead of dinner?’ No, I had to stop drinking years ago, ‘the homeless man replied.

‘Will you use it t o go fishing instead of buying food?’ the man asked.’ No, I don’t waste time fishing, ‘the homeless man said. ‘I need to spend all my time trying to stay alive.’

‘Will you spend this on greens fees at a golf course instead of food?’ the man asked. ‘Are you NUTS!’ replied the homeless man. ‘I haven’t played golf in 20 years!’

‘Will you spend the money on a woman in the red light district instead of food?’ the man asked.’ What disease would I get for ten lousy bucks?’ exclaimed the homeless man.

‘Well, ‘said the man, ‘I’m not going to give you the money. Instead, I’m going to take you home for a terrific dinner cooked by my wife.’ The homeless man was astounded.’ Won’t your wife be furious with you for doing that? I know I’m dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting.’

The man replied, ‘That’s okay. It’s important for her to see what a man looks like after he has given up beer, fishing, golf, and women.’

Mikey left the furniture shop Friday afternoon and cashed his pay check in the bar, it was a good check, he had worked a lot of overtime, enough that he was able to party until Monday afternoon. He went home to face his wife knowing that he would be in trouble.
All she said was, “How would you like it if you didn’t see me for three days?”
With his mind still in a bit of a haze he replied, ” That would suit me just fine.”
Tuesday came and he didn’t see his wife, then Wednesday the same, by Thursday he could just see her out of the corner of his left eye.

On the day they arrived in Philadelphia they found a room and that night they vowed to find jobs the next day.
On the evening of the next day they compared notes.
Pat: “So, Michael, did ya find any work?
Mike: “Nay, nodda bit, Paddy. And you?”
Pat: “Aye. Found work in a tool factory. Don’t ya know, they works to a thousandths of an inch!”
Mike: “A thousandths of an inch!!”
Mike ponders this for a moment and then asks:
“Paddy, how many thousandths are there in an inch?”
Pat: “Sure, Michael, and I don’t know. From the looks, there must be millions of them!”

Man Sentenced For Lewd Act With Vacuum Cleaner
Last Update: 8:59 am
SAGINAW, Mich. (AP)—A Michigan man is going to jail—for sex with a car wash vacuum.

Jason Leroy Savage was sentenced yesterday to 90 days in the Saginaw County slammer. He pleaded no contest to indecent exposure last month.

Savage was busted early one October morning after someone reported suspicious activity at the car wash.

Police say they caught Savage in the act with a vacuum cleaner. In addition to jail time, Savage must also submit to drug testing.

A blonde calls her boyfriend and says, ‘Please come over here and help me. I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can’t figure out how to get started.’

Her boyfriend asks, ‘What is it supposed to be when it’s finished?’

The blonde says, ‘According to the picture on the box, it’s a rooster.’

Her boyfriend decides to go over and help with the puzzle. She lets him in and shows him where she has the puzzle spread all over
the table.

He studies the pieces for a moment, then looks at the box, then turns to her and says,

‘First of all, no matter what we do, we’re not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a rooster.’

He takes her hand and says, ‘Second, I want you to relax.. Let’s have a nice cup of tea, and then ..’ he said with a deep sigh, . .. . .. . . .

‘Let’s put all the Corn Flakes back in the box.’

Eaten some strange things since i,ve lived in the Philippines but this is the strangest. Civet coffee is made when the civet cat chows down on coffee beans from the bush and when they are passed thru they are collected dried and ground into coffee. It sells for 6 to 7 USD a cup.

How to Fix the Economy

There was an article in “The St. Petersburg Times News
Paper”. The Business Section asked the readers for ideas
on “How to fix the economy?”

This guy was right on.

Dear Mr President,

Patriotic Retirement:

There are about forty million people over fifty years

of age in the work force in the U.S.

Give each one of them one million dollars severance

pay with these stipulations.

#1. They must leave their jobs.

BINGO!! Forty million new jobs.

Unemployment fixed.


#2 They buy a new American made automobile.

BINGO!! Again – Auto industry fixed.


#3 They buy a new home or pay off their mortgage.

BINGO!!! Again- Housing crisis fixed.

Bible Sales

A pastor concluded that his church was getting into very serious financial troubles. While checking the church
storeroom, he discovered several cartons of new bibles that had never been opened and distributed.

So at his Sunday sermon, he asked for three volunteers from the congregation who would be willing to sell the bibles door-to-door for $10 each to raise the desperately needed money for the church.

Jack, Paul and Louie all raised their hands to volunteer for the task.

The minister knew that Jack and Paul earned their living as salesmen and were likely capable of selling some bibles.

But he had serious doubts about Louie who was a local farmer, who had always kept to himself because he was embarrassed by his speech impediment. Poor Louis stuttered badly. But, not wanting to discourage Louis, the minister decided to let him try anyway.

He sent the three of them away with the back seat of their cars stacked with bibles. He asked them to meet with him and report the results of their door-to-door selling efforts the following Sunday.

Anxious to find out how successful they were, the minister immediately asked Jack, “Well, Jack, how did you make out selling our bibles last week?”

Proudly handing the reverend an envelope, Jack replied, “Using my sales prowess, I was able to sell 20 bibles, and here’s the $200 I collected on behalf of the church.”

“Fine job, Jack!” The minister said, vigorously shaking his hand. “You are indeed a fine salesman and the Church is indebted to you.”

Turning to Paul, “And Paul, how many bibles did you sell for the Church last week?”

Paul, smiling and sticking out his chest, confidently replied, “I am a professional salesman. I sold 28 bibles on behalf of the church, and here’s $280 I collected.”

The minister responded, “That’s absolutely splendid, Paul. You are truly a professional salesman and the church is indebted to you.”

Apprehensively, the minister turned to Louie and said, “And Louie, did you manage to sell any bibles last week?” Louie silently offered the minister a large envelope.

The minister opened it and counted the contents. “What is this?

“The minister exclaimed. “Louie, there’s $3200 in here! Are you suggesting that you sold 320 bibles for the church, door to door, in just one week?”

Louie just nodded. “That’s impossible!” both Jack and Paul said in unison. “We are professional salesmen, yet you claim to have sold 10 times as many bibles as we could.”

“Yes, this does seem unlikely,” the minister! agreed. “I think you’d better explain how you managed to accomplish this, Louie.”

Louie shrugged. “I-I-I re-re-really do-do-don’t kn-kn-know ff-f-for sh-sh-sh-sure,” he stammered.
Impatiently, Peter interrupted. “For crying out loud, Louie, just tell us what you said to them when they answered the door!”

“A-a-a-all I-I-I s-s-said wa-wa-was,” Louis replied, “W-w-w-w-would y-y-y-you l-l-l-l-l-like t-t-to b-b-b-buy th-th-th-this b-b-b-b-bible f-f-for t-t-ten b-b-b-bucks—-o-o-o-or—- wo-wo-wou ld yo-you j-j-j-just l-like m-m -me t-t-to st-st-stand h-h-here and r-r-r-r-r-read it t-to y-y-you??”

Mr. Goldberg wakes up in the hospital, bandaged from head to foot. The doctor comes in and says, ‘Ah, I see you’ve regained consciousness. Now, you probably won’t remember, but you were in a pileup on the freeway. You’re going to be okay, you’ll walk again and everything, but….. something happened. I’m trying to break this gently… but the fact is… your penis was chopped off in the wreck and we were unable to find it.’

Goldberg groans, but the doctor goes on, ‘You’ve got $9000 in insurance compensation coming to you, and we have the technology to build you a new penis that will work as well as your old one did… maybe even better! But the thing is, it doesn’t come cheap. It’s $1000.00 per inch.’

Goldberg perks up at this!! ‘So,’ the doctor says, ‘It’s for you to decide how many inches you want. But it’s something you’d better discuss with your wife. I mean, if you had a five inch one before, and you decide to go for nine inches, she might be a bit put out. But if you had a nine inch one before, and you decide only to invest in five inches this time, she might be disappointed. So it’s important that she plays a role in helping you make the decision.’

He agrees to talk with his wife. The doctor comes back the next day and says, ‘So, have you spoken with your wife?’

‘I have,’ says Mr. Goldberg.

‘And has she helped you in making the decision?’

‘Yes, she has,’ he says.

‘And what is it?’ asks the doctor.

‘We’re getting granite countertops.’

Hellmann’s Mayo

Most people don’t know that back in 1912, Hellmann’s mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery on May 5th in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York.

This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost.

The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day.

The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course, as Sinko De Mayo.

And now you know where the name originated!

Happy Sinko de Mayo Day everyone.

Good one Bob ! Here’s another ….

——- Subject: A salesman

A salesman is driving toward home in Northern Arizona when he sees a Navajo
man hitchhiking. Because the trip had been long and quiet, he stops the car
and the Navajo man climbs in.

During their small talk, the Navajo man glances surreptitiously at a brown
bag on the front seat between them.

“If you’re wondering what’s in the bag,” offers the salesman, “it’s a bottle
of wine. I got it for my wife.”

The Navajo man is silent for awhile, nods several times and says, “Good
trade.”

Buttercups and Golf balls…

Towards the end of the golf course, Tom hit his ball into the woods and found it in a patch of pretty yellow buttercups. Trying to get his ball back in play, he ended up thrashing just about every buttercup in the patch.

All of a sudden . . . POOF!!

In a flash and puff of smoke, a little old woman appeared. She said, “I’m Mother Nature!”

“Do you know how long it took me to make those buttercups?”

“Just for doing what you have done, you won’t have any butter for your popcorn for the rest of your life; better still, you won’t have any butter for your toast for the rest of your life … As a matter of fact, you’ll never have any butter for anything the rest of your life!!!”

Then POOF! . . . she was gone!

After Tom recovered from the shock, he hollered for his friend, “Fred, where are you?”

Fred yells back, “I’m over here in the pussy willows.”

Tom shouts back, ‘DON’T SWING, Fred; FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON’T SWING!

A man staggers into casualty with two black eyes and a five iron wrapped around his throat.

Naturally the doctor asks him what happened. “Well, it was like this,” said the man. “I was having a quiet round of golf with my wife when she sliced her ball into a pasture of cows.

“We went to look for it and while I was rooting around, I noticed one of the cows had something white at its rear end.

“I walked over and lifted up the tail and sure enough, there was my wife’s golf ball—stuck right in the middle of the … well that’s when I made my mistake.”

“What did you do?” asks the doctor.

“Well, I lifted the tail and yelled to my wife, ‘Hey, this looks like yours!’

The Itch
Once upon a time lived a beautiful Queen with large breasts. Nick the Dragon Slayer obsessed over the Queen for this reason. He knew that the penalty for his desire would be death should he try to touch them, but he had to try. One day Nick revealed his secret desire to his colleague, Horatio the Physician, the King’s chief doctor. Horatio thought about this and said that he could arrange for Nick to more than satisfy his desire, but it would cost him 1000 gold coins to arrange it. Without pause Nick readily agreed to the scheme.

The next day, Horatio made a batch of itching powder and poured a little bit into the Queen’s bra while she bathed. Soon after she dressed, the itching commenced and grew intense. Upon being summoned to the Royal Chambers to address this incident, Horatio informed the King and Queen that only a special saliva, if applied for four hours, would cure this type of itch, and that tests had shown that only the saliva of Nick would work as the antidote to cure the itch.

The King, eager to help his Queen, quickly summoned Nick to their chambers. Horatio then slipped Nick the antidote for the itching powder, which he put into his mouth, and for the next four hours, Nick worked passionately on the Queen’s large and magnificent breasts. The Queen’s itching was eventually relieved, and Nick left satisfied and hailed as a hero. Upon returning to his chamber, Nick found Horatio demanding his payment of 1,000 gold coins . With his obsession now satisfied, Nick couldn’t have cared less and, knowing that Horatio could never report this matter to the King, and with a laugh told him to get lost.

The next day, Horatio slipped a massive dose of the same itching powder into the King’s underwear. The King immediately summoned Nick.

The moral of the story….........

Pay your bills.

The owner of a golf course in Alabama was confused about paying an invoice, so he decided to ask his blonde secretary for some mathematical help. He called her into his office and said, “You graduated from the University of Florida. If I were to give you $20,000, minus 14%, how much would you take off?”

The secretary thought a moment, then replied, “Everything but my earrings.”
