I realized I was down to about a 1/4 tank of gas in the 911 and a road trip, even a short one is not a good time to search for gas. Since we have 100% gas no gasohol at the corner I filled up. The 48 degrees and breezy will make yer nipples harden right up.

Brent, I see parts of the far north got some snow. Did it get to you?

I am sure Pete has seen snow more than once this year.

We had the white stuff here, too. Oh, yeah, here's it's called fog. Well, sailing was out, so we practiced boathandling under power. Our marina is pretty tight, so there's not of room to maneuver in and out of our slip and our dock. Especially dicey when there's a lot of wind. Thankfully, it wasn't too windy today and we managed not to hit anything. I guess we'll have pick some of the blustery days to practice, too.

Weekend!

Looks like I may be experiencing shrinkage due to the cool temps. Hope this doesn't make anyone think lesser of me.

Stijn!!

That depends on what parts of you shrinks.

I am watching the F1 practice. They are airing all three practices. Amazing to see 220 mph.

Attitude. It's my Attitude. Setting the thermostat in winter mode makes it feel much cozier.

Was beginning to think I was going to have to get out the Nipple Lube!

They must not be playing balls out.

Ever notice the smaller the balls are in these games the harder they are on them?
First they bounce em, then kickem, then they whack em.

Basketball, Soccer, Baseball, Tennis, Golf.

Just had fun with a telemarketer.

Didn't recognize the number so answered the voice call with a text answer, "Busy, will call you back later."
They almost immediately texted back. "Who is this?"
So I answered the text the same, "Busy, will text back later."
After a few of those they texted, "I don't recognize this number."
I sent, "You called me."
Then they sent, "Who is this, I don't recognize the number."
I sent, "If you don't recognize your own number I certainly don't know whom you are."

Then I started getting phone calls again from that same number instead of texts.
So setup my text answer button to. "If you don't know who you are, I am not answering a phone call from you."

After 4 times they sent a text telling me they were calling from an ins. co., their name, and they wanted to save me money.
So texted back "No Thanks." and put their number on my Block list.

Have decided this is the best way to handle calls from numbers I don't know.
Just use the send message option on my iPhone instead of answering
The text reply seems to mess with the telemarketing system that calls and then hangs up because their sales people are all busy.
I usually block an unknown number that calls, then hangs up, but this seems like the more hassle to them.

Burp.



Not from that!



This. The Rock Cafe in Stroud, OK. Good burger, good company. Cool drive up there on R-66. We had a great turnout of 24 cars. We pretty much took over the restaurant for about 90 minutes.

Just because someone makes a soda, bottles it, and puts a label on it does not mean it is actually any good at all. Kinda the same with Beers.

Yep, I was paying absolutely no attention at all to their balls.

As a spectator, I like wimenz beach volleyball. Fit wimenz wearing bikinis jumping around trying to keep their balls from touching the ground!

Found out why I was removed from managing our firewall and it is handled by an outside consultant.

And it wasn't this picture that came up went you tried to access a barred site...



Or the message saying...

The surf monkey has determine the site you have just tried to reach is not allowed.
Contact Richard if you feel the site should be allowed.

Found that after a consultant took over the firewall/surf nanny some executives were omitted from the surf filters.

We went to breakfast and then grocery shopping this morning. Mrs Carrera likes to go the grocery store after we eat to keep the grocery bill lower.

When are they going to get the new Blade Runner streaming? Movies usually go to stream within a week of hitting the theaters.
