funny how this cheating thing about the patriots is so crazy. think about this is done by every team every game. a player calls for a flag and gets it, even though no flag was warranted, that penalty results in a touchdown, winning the game for that team. now I ask myself, is this cheating? this happens every game, the player knows the flag from the refs was wrong, so is it the refs fault or the player trying to get a completive edge? or just plain cheating? get over the delategate, my opinion its all the same.

if you are successful at something there will be jealousy, this reminds my a few years ago I had tagged out on turkeys and a few people asked me to take them out for their bird, so after 9 separate people harvested their birds that I assisted in calling them in (all legal) , when word got out on how many birds met their demise, all the local hunters were calling me a poacher!!!!!, when you are successful there will be jealousy. I feel so deflated..lol.

the ice hut saved us from the cold at todays tournament. 6" of slushy mess on top made it tuff walking, with the pending snow storm approaching the fishing was awesome , with about 30 fish caught between us, shawn ended winning 1st place perch, and first place pickerel , of course I placed 4th in the largemouth division, but no money for me,lol. shawn netted over $200+ and won a bass pro gift card in a raffle at the end of the tourney, a great ending to a fun day with my son.

"Windows frozen, won't open."
Husband texts back:
"Gently pour some lukewarm water over it
and gently tap edges with hammer."

An airplane was about to crash; there were 5 passengers on board, but only 4 parachutes. The first passenger, Holly Madison said, "I have my own reality show and I am the smartest and prettiest woman at Playboy, so Americans don't want me to die." She took the first pack and jumped out of the plane.
The second passenger, John McCain, said, "I'm a Senator, and a decorated war hero from an elite Navy unit from the United States of America." So he grabbed the second pack and jumped.
The third passenger, Barack Obama said, "I am the President of the United States and I am the smartest ever in the history of our country, some even call me the 'Anointed One.'" So he grabbed the pack next to him and jumped out.
The fourth passenger, Billy Graham said to the fifth passenger, a 10-year-old schoolgirl, "I have lived a full life and served my God the best I could. I will sacrifice my life and let you have the last parachute."
The little girl said, "That's okay, Mr. Graham. There's a parachute left for you. America's smartest president took my schoolbag."

whew, that was tuff, now back to the car. 99% done, was a delay in the assembly process, a loose o2 sensor wire got gobbled up by the a/c compressor, grounded out, killed the eci fuse, I thought it jumped time so I took the drive pulley and timing covers off to see if the belt jumped, good news it was still dead on. so she just needs a couple of things done to complete. 4 wheel alignment is the last thing left,,,, she sounds nice......ps, was testing the stereo this afternoon, it seems to be to loud for the neighbor, it was on for less than 2 minutes and a raving lunatic came running up the driveway, had to call police, was not a good scene, I think he was drunk, he was yelling at shawn, and I had enough of him. cops were at his house a while, hope he is ok...

rear compression test, all 3 cylinders low, around the same, blown head gasket is my guess, test did not change with oil added to the cylinders. no big deal changing heads anyways. oil pressure mint. so time to start a little body work before winter.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN.
A cabbie picks up a Nun. She gets into the cab, and notices that the VERY handsome cab driver won’t stop staring at her.
She asks him why he is staring. He replies: “I have a question to ask, but I don’t want to offend you.”
She answers, “My son, you cannot offend me. When you’re as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have,
you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I’m sure that there’s nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive.”
“Well, I’ve always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me.” She responds, “Well, let’s see what we can do about that…
1) You have to be single and
2) You must be Catholic.”
The cab driver is very excited and says, “Yes, I’m single and Catholic!”
“OK” the nun says. “Pull into the next alley.”
The nun fulfills his fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush. But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.
“My dear child,” said the nun, “why are you crying?”
“Forgive me, but I’ve sinned. I lied and I must confess, I’m married and I’m Jewish.”
The nun says, “That’s OK. My name is Kevin and I’m going to a Halloween party!”
