Weather: Cool and Sunny.

Uncle Dale, you just had to bring out the Pendelton last night. Oh well at least we figured out all the world’s problems. Beautiful night last night, looks like it will be a great day today also. Think I better get on that honey do list, after all it is the last day of July.  Four more months and it will be snow time, I gotta get going on the booking calendar for winter rentals, don’t worry Les I have your email saved with your dates.

A very cranky old woman was arrested for  shoplifting at a grocery store.

 

She gave everyone a hard time,  from the store manager to the security guard to the arresting  officer who took her away, complaining and criticizing throughout the process.

 

When she appeared before the judge, the judge asked  what she had stolen from the store.

 

The lady defiantly replied,  “Just a stupid can of peaches.”

 

The judge then asked why she had  done it.

 

She replied, “I was hungry and forgot to bring any cash  to the store.”

 

The judge asked how many peaches were in the can. 

 

She replied, “Nine, but what do you care about that?”

 

The judge patiently said, “Well,  ma’am, because I’m going to give you  nine days in jail — one day for each peach.”

 

As the judge was  about to drop his gavel, the lady’s long suffering husband raised  his hand and asked if he might speak.

 

The judge  said, “Yes, what do you have to add?”

 

The husband said, “Your  Honor, she also stole a can of peas.”

Weather: Cooler finally.

First of all I didn’t forget about doing the blog yesterday, godaddy was down yesterday morning, first time in 9 years. I had friends to meet for breakfast, and then we went on a sight seeing tour in the UP. We seen 5 bars, 3 Lakes, 2 waterfalls and 1 dead deer. It was a good day.

Bond Falls is really worth the trip, and stopping at Hoppy’s, you know Jane is worth the trip too. Fred’s new gun shop next door is very nice, I think I am going to tell Becker I want a gun for Christmas.

Weather: Low 80’s and overcast.

A little break in the weather today, maybe a shower tonight to cool things off a bit. I had a late night in the bar, been I while since I stayed open till closing time on a Monday. The guys from Wisconsin are up cutting the hay fields and they were pretty thirsty when they came in.

Phil was bragging to his friend Don one day, “You know, I

know everyone der is to know. Yust name someone, anyone, and I know them.”

 

Tired of his boasting, Don  called his bluff, “OK, Phil how about Tom

Cruise?”

 

“Sure, yes, Tom and I ver old friends, and I can prove it.”

 

Phil and Don fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise’s door,

and sure enough, Tom Cruise, shouts, “Phil! Great to see you! You and

your friend come right in and join me for lunch!”

 

Although impressed, Don is still skeptical. After they leave

Cruise’s house, he tells Phil that he thinks his knowing Cruise was

just lucky.

 

“No, no, just name anyvon else,” Phil says.

 

”President Obama,” Don  quickly retorts.

 

“Ya sure,” Phil says, “I know him. We’ll fly out to Washington to see

him.” Off they go.

 

At the White House, Obama spots Phil on the tour and motions him and

Don  over, saying, “Phil, what a surprise, I was just on my way to a

meeting, but you and your friend come on in and let’s have a cup of

coffee first and catch up.”

 

Don  is shaken now, but still not totally convinced.

 

After they leave the White House grounds, Don expresses his doubts to

Phil, who again implores him to name anyone else.

 

“The Pope”, Don  replies. “Sure!” says Phil. “I’ve known the Pope a

long time.”

 

The unconvinced Don flies them off to Rome. Phil and Don are

assembled with the masses in Vatican Square when Phil says; “This will

never work. I can’t catch the Pope’s eye among all these people. Tell

you what, I know the guards so let me just go upstairs and I’ll come out

on the balcony with the Pope.” He disappears into the crowd headed

toward the Vatican.

 

Fifteen minutes later Phil emerges with the Pope on the balcony.

 

By the time Phil returns, Don has had a heart attack and is

surrounded by paramedics. Working his way to his Don ‘s side, Phil asks

him, “What happened?”

 

Don  looks up and says, “I was doing fine until you and the Pope

came out on the balcony and the Japanese tourist next to me asked,

‘Who’s that on the balcony with Phil?

Weather: YET Another scorcher.

Turn up the heat. If we can’t have snow we might just as well sit here and bake in the sun. Not a fun time for fat people let me tell you, I should know. 81 degrees already and it is just after 11am.

Becker took a ride on the lake last night, just pulled off shore, dropped anchor and jumped in the lake. Ahhhh instant cool, a good time to be fat. More surface area equals faster cooling.

The boss of a Madison Avenue advertising agency called a spontaneous staff meeting in the middle of a particularly stressful week. (This is one pretty sharp boss!)

When everyone gathered, the boss, who understood the benefits of having fun, told the burnt-out staff the purpose of the meeting was to have a quick contest. The theme: Viagra advertising slogans. The only rule was they had to use past ad slogans, originally written for other products that captured the essence of Viagra. Slight variations were acceptable.


About 7 minutes later, they turned in their suggestions and created a Top 10 List.. With all the laughter and camaraderie, the rest of the week went very well for everyone! The top 10 were:

 

 

  1. Viagra, Whaazzzz up!

 

9.Viagra, The quicker pecker picker upper.

 

8.Viagra, like a rock!

 

7.Viagra, When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight.

 

6.Viagra, Be all that you can be.

 

5.Viagra, Reach out and touch someone.

 

  1. Viagra, Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman.

 

3.Viagra, Home of the whopper!

 

  1. Viagra, We bring good things to Life!


And the unanimous number one slogan
:

  1. This is your peepee… This is your peepee on drugs.

Weather: Another scorcher.

Yesterday was hot, today is going to be hotter. I think the heat got to me, I was in bed by 9pm last night. Today we are doing some work on Mom’s driveway, so there may be beer involved. Good thing I got some rest.

A guy goes into the US Post Office to apply for a job.
The interviewer asks him, “Are you allergic to anything?”
He  replies, “Yes, caffeine. I can’t drink coffee.”
“Ok,  Have you ever been in the military service?”
“Yes,”  he says, “I was in Afghanistan for one tour.”
The  interviewer says, “That will give you five extra points toward employment.” Then he asks, “Are you disabled in any way?”
The  guy says, “Yes. A bomb exploded near me and I lost both my testicles.”
The  interviewer grimaces and then says, “Disabled in your country’s service!
Well, that qualifies for extra bonus points. Okay. Looking at the regulations you have got enough points for me to hire you right now. 
 
Our normal hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.  You can start tomorrow at 10:00 am, and plan on starting at 10:00 am every day.
” The  guy is puzzled and asks, “If the work hours are from 8:00 am to 4:00 PM, why don’t you want me here until 10:00 am?”
“This is a government job,” the interviewer says. “For the first two hours, we just stand around drinking coffee and scratching our balls.  No point in you coming in for that.”

Weather: Ouch, gonna be a scorcher.

Yesterday was beautiful up here. I got a lot done over mom’s house too, getting electric run the the garage down below, ditches dug, wire ran. Grass seed planted and then it rained later at night. Perfect.

Near 90 the next few days, that’s too hot, it may just be time for the fun Island and the Lake cooler. That is an inflatable cooler that stores ice and your favorite Bush Light cans. Sounds like a plan.

A firefighter was working on the engine outside the Station, when he noticed 

a little girl nearby in a little red wagon with little ladders hung off the sides and
a garden hose tightly coiled in the middle.
The girl was wearing a firefighter’s helmet.

The wagon was being pulled by her dog and her cat.

The firefighter walked over to take a closer look.
‘That sure is a nice fire truck,’ the firefighter said with admiration.

‘Thanks,’ the girl replied. The firefighter looked a little closer.  The girl had
tied the wagon to her dog’s collar and to the cat’s testicles.

‘Little partner,’ the firefighter said, ‘I don’t want to tell you how to run your
rig, but if you were to tie that rope around the cat’s collar, I think you could go
faster. ‘

The little girl replied thoughtfully, ‘You’re probably right, but
then I wouldn’t have a siren.’

Weather: Rain today, nice tomorrow.

WTF living in the great state of Michigan is not so fricken great when you are searching for car insurance. I’m getting quotes for Mom’s insurance and it looks like it may damn near double. So much for telling her it is cheaper living up here.

Weather: Maybe rain, maybe not. Who cares?

Not a lot going on, gotta work on the women’s toilet today (that’s how far I gotta go to get something to write about). Last night there was a meeting with the DNR to discuss the possibility of lowering the walleye size limit to 13″. Not sure what came out of the meeting yet, it will probably be a while before a decision is made.

Speaking of the DNR, someone was in the bar last week and asked me a question and I told them I would ask the DNR and post the answer on the web site. I even made a note to remind myself, dumbass me lost the note and forgot the question or who I was talking to. When you read this please email me and I will get er done.

After a long day on the golf course, I stopped

in at Hooter’s to see some friends and have

some hot Wings and ice tea.

After being there for a while, one of my friends

asked me which waitress I would like to be stuck

in an elevator with.

I told them “The one who knows how to fix elevators”.

I’m old, I’m tired, and I pee a lot.

Weather: Beautiful, just fricken beautiful.

Weather doesn’t get any better than this, chance of rain this weekend, but a good chance it will pass us by too. I’m in grass cutting mode, 2 down and 1 to go.

Two men were adrift in a lifeboat following a dramatic escape from a burning freight vessel. While rummaging through the boat’s provisions, one of the men stumbled across an old lamp. Secretly hoping that a Genie would appear, he rubbed the lamp vigorously. To the amazement of the castaways, one did come forth. This particular Genie, however, stated that she could only deliver one wish, not the standard three. Without giving much thought to the matter the man blurted out, “Make the entire ocean into beer!” Immediately the Genie clapped her hands with a deafening crash, and the entire sea turned into the finest brew ever sampled by mortals. Simultaneously, the Genie vanished to her freedom. Only the gentle lapping of beer on the hull broke the stillness as the two men considered their circumstances. The other man looked disgustedly at the one whose wish had been granted. After a long, tension-filled moment, he spoke: “Nice going asshole! Now we’re going to have to piss in the boat.”

Weather: Weather good for now, maybe rain for the weekend.

Must be nice to be a weather man, now possible rain for the weekend. Oh well I don’t have to work and I’m gonna enjoy it anyway.

A young blonde girl in her late teens, wanting to earn some extra money for the summer, decided to hire herself out as a “handy woman” 
and started canvassing a nearby well-to-do neighborhood.   
She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any odd jobs for her to do.   
“Well, I guess I could use somebody to paint the porch” he said. “How much will you charge me?”   
Delighted, the girl quickly responded, “How about $50?”
 
The man agreed and told her that the paint, brushes and everything she would need were in the garage.   
The man’s wife hearing the conversation, said to her husband, “Does she not realize that our porch goes all the way round the house?”   
“That’s a bit cynical, isn’t it?” he responded.   
The wife replied, “You’re right.? I guess I’m starting to believe all those dumb blonde jokes.”   
A few hours later the blonde came to the door to collect her money.   
“You’re finished already??” the startled husband asked.     
“Yes” the blond replied, and I even had paint left over so I gave it two coats.”
Impressed, the man reached into his pocket for the $50 and handed it to her along with a $10 tip.   
“Thank you” the blond said, “and by the way, it’s not a Porch, it’s an Audi”.
