OOOOOO....Sports Rubes..........(The guy on the left is the radio voice of the MN.Vikings)......PA and Dubay......It's not a Radio Show........It's a Love Covenant Can I share your quasadia?? Wait..........You did say this was Chicken and not Flamingo,Right?? Fish are our Friends,and Food.....Here Fishy,Fishy,Fishy Not this year.....but for many years in a former live,Cid would make the "Trip" to the Fair with my Brother and I

A bird and his Hog God they seem to get bigger as you have more.......Number 4 for the day and I think I can finish it.One more footlong Can I do another ride?? I bet if I hide and look like a pair of pants.........Next stop......the Panama Canal

Half Full or Half Empty

There was no way in Hell that I was going to take a picture when the Fat Ass was at 259.5 but now that the Fatman is at 229.5 and half way to 200 I was more then happy to take the picture.

E ViL

Wall.E won't be the only thing left on earth.......I know that God Forsaken Ride will be there too

The Kings new Chariot

Who can find the "king" in this picture??

It's a Pontiac Vibe..............it's not "New",it's an 06.Nothing fancy,that's for sure but it's about what I was looking for.......didn't want a smaller car.......I drive I Fear,I mean I4 too much and just didn't want a Deathtrap on wheels.......Didn't want anything bigger most because it's just me,the king and my clubs in the back.......and didn't want to drive something that would suck cash right from my pocket in gas mileage either so no SUV.......so for the next 5 years I'll be working about 50 hours a week to pay for it,but work did say that they would be happy if I came in early and picked up a weekend shift from time to time so I won't be looking for a "part time" at least for now

Rest in Pease my Dear

And thus.....With a Roll,she Died


Going a little fast on a dirt road about 3 miles from home Saturday night.........Spent a few hours in the ER at Celebration Hospital and other then my Pride and the Car....All is fine

Thankfully no one else was in the car and I wasn't hurt.....


So now it's time to look for a replacement......won't be a new one,I'm guessing a couple years old and I want a wagon again but will settle for anything that gets good gas mileage and it won't be an SUV............
