Weather: More Shitty.
There are no words to describe how I feel about Mother nature right now. The ground is covered with snow and we have to put up a tongue a groove ceiling today.

Remodel going good though. Especially with Becker out of town, we fight less about decisions to the kitchen LOL.
No English dictionary has been able to adequately
explain the difference between these two words. In a recent linguistic
competition held in London and attended by, supposedly, the best in the world,
Samdar Balgobin, a Guyanese man, was the clear winner with a standing ovation
which lasted over 5 minutes.
The final question was: How do you explain the
difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED in a way that is easy to understand?
Some people say there is no difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED.
Here is his astute answer:
“When you marry the right woman, you are COMPLETE. When you marry the wrong woman, you are FINISHED. And, when the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are COMPLETELY FINISHED!”
He won a trip around the world and a case of 25 year old Scotch.

Weather: Shitty.
Weather is up down up down. 60’s then down to 30’s with chances of snow. Welcome to the UP eh.
Been busy with the kitchen stuff, now it is all tore up and you can’t walk through the living room. If we stayed married through this it will be a miracle. Pics to come later.
There were several men in the locker room of a
private club after a round of golf. A cell phone that had been sitting was
on one of the benches rang. A nearby man picked it up
“Hello?” he answered.
“Honey, it’s me,” a woman’s voice said on the other
side. “Are you at the club?”
“Yes,” the man responded.
“Great! I am at the mall two blocks from where you
are and I just saw the most beautiful mink coat. It is
absolutely gorgeous!! Can I buy it?” she
asked.
“What’s the price?” the man asked.
“Only $1,500,” she said.
“Well, okay, go ahead and get it, if you like it
that much,” he said.
“Ahhh, great. Also, I stopped by the Mercedes
dealership and saw the new 2018 model at a really good price, and since we
need to exchange the BMW that we bought last year…” she pressed.
“What price did the dealer quote you?” the man
asked.
“Only $60,000,” she said.
“Fine, but for that price, I want it with all
the options,” he said.
“Great. And before we hang up, there was one other
thing,” she said.
“What’s that, sugar?”
“It might look like a lot, but I was going through
your bank account and I stopped by the real estate office this morning. I saw
the house we had looked at last year. It’s on sale!! Remember? The one with a
pool, English Garden, tennis court, acre of park area, beach front
property.”
“How much are they asking?” the man asked.
“Only $1.45 million. A magnificent price. And I see
that we have that much in the bank to cover…”
“Well then, go ahead, but just bid $1.4 million,
okay?” the man responded.
“OK, sweetie,” the woman said, over the moon with
happiness. “Thanks! I’ll see you later!! I love you!!!”
“Bye,” the man said. I love you, too.”
The man ended the call, raised his hand while
holding the phone and said to the other men in the room,“Does
anyone know whose phone this is?”

Weather: Snow.
Yea you read that right, FRIcKEN SNOW. Up yours Mother Nature. I been busy working on the kitchen, good thing we are finally getting around to doing it, when I demo’d the wall in front of the chimney I found where water has been leaking. Not a big problem yet, glad we found it now. Remember to check that tar around those chimneys.
THE LION’S CAGE
A little girl was leaning into a lion’s cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the collar of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, all under the eyes of her screaming parents.
A biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl and the biker brings the girl to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A reporter has watched the whole event.
The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, “Sir, this was the most gallant and bravest thing I’ve seen a man do in my whole life.”
The Harley rider replies, “Why, it was nothing, really. The lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right”
The reporter says, “Well, I’ll make sure this won’t go unnoticed. I’m a journalist, you know, and tomorrow’s paper will have this story on the front page. So, what do you do for a living, and what political affiliation do you have?”
The biker replies “I’m a U.S. Marine, a Republican and I voted for Trump”.
The journalist leaves.
The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:
** U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT & STEALS HIS LUNCH. **
And THAT pretty much sums up the media’s approach to the news these days.

Weather: Beautiful.
Very good weather for a few days anyway I am headed down to the garage to finish putting in the man door. After that maybe a few Bush Lights, or maybe not, what fun is drinking when you can’t light up a smoke. I had friends that only smoked when they drank, I hate people that can do things I cant. I’m in day 4 of not smoking, Becker has not left me yet so I can’t be too bad. Yesterday I found a whole cigarette in the top pocket of my coat, man that was a ruff one, I tore it in half and threw it out the car window as quick as I could. I almost turned the car around and went looking for it. But so far so good.
A retired man went into the Job Center in downtown Chicago and saw a card advertising for a
Gynecologist’s
Assistant.
Interested, he
went in and
asked the clerk
for
details.
The clerk pulled
up the file and
read; “The job
entails getting
the ladies ready
for the
gynecologist.
You have to help
the women out
of their
underwear, lay
them down and
carefully wash
their private
regions, then
apply shaving
foam and gently
shave off the
hair, then rub
in soothing oils
so they’re ready
for the
gynecologist’s
examination.
The annual
salary is
$65,000, and if
you are
interested
you’ll have to
go toBergland ,
Michigan.”
“Good
grief”, the man
asked, “Is that
where the job
is?”
“No
sir . . . that’s
where the end of
the line is
right
now.

Weather: Up, Down, Up, Down.
Nice for the next few days though. Part way into day 3 of no smoking, I been sleeping a lot. Time to go out in the world though, mom needs to go shopping for Easter dinner.
At school, Little Johnny’s classmate tells him that most adults are hiding at least one dark secret, so it’s very easy to blackmail them by saying, “I know the whole truth.” Little Johnny decides to go home and try it out. Johnny’s mother greets him at home, and he tells her, “I know the whole truth.” His mother quickly hands him $20 and says, “Just don’t tell your father.” Quite pleased, the boy waits for his father to get home from work, and greets him with, “I know the whole truth.” The father promptly hands him $40 and says, “Please don’t say a word to your mother.” Very pleased, the boy is on his way to school the next day when he sees the mailman at his front door. The boy greets him by saying, “I know the whole truth.” The mailman immediately drops the mail, opens his arms, and says, “Then come give your Daddy a great big hug!”

Weather: Mother Nature’s April Fools Joke.
A few crappy weather days for us but tomorrow it is back up into the 50’s. Not much going on around here, beautiful Bush Light Garage type weather all weekend, Uncle Dale and Antigo Julie and Dave even stopped in for a few beers. Everyone wanted to drink and all I wanted to do was work.
I been laying low, Monday was the day I decided to give up the smokes. It has been a day and a half scene I had a cigarette, I tried to stay in bed and sleep all day yesterday. But now today I have something to loose. I made it a day. If I have one cig I might as well just go out and buy a whole pack. Or 2 or 3. So far so good.

Nice day outside, even nicer tomorrow. Getting a late start today, yep too many Bush Lights yesterday.
A Fishing story
The King wanted to go fishing. He called on the royal weather
forecaster and inquired as to the weather forecast for the next few
hours.
The weatherman assured him that there was no chance of rain in the
coming days, So the King went fishing with his wife, the Queen.
On the way he met a farmer on his donkey.
Upon seeing the King the farmer said, “Your Majesty, you should return
to the palace! In just a short time I expect a huge amount of rain to
fall in this area”.
The King was polite and considerate, he replied: “I hold the palace
meteorologist in high regard. He is an extensively educated and
experienced professional. And besides, I pay him very high wages. He
gave me a very different forecast. I trust him.”
So the King continued on his way. However, a short time later a
torrential rain fell from the sky. The King and Queen were totally
soaked and their entourage chuckled upon seeing them in such a shameful
condition.
Furious, the King returned to the palace and gave the order to fire the
professional. Then he summoned the farmer and offered him the
prestigious and high paying role of royal forecaster.
The farmer said, “Your Majesty, I do not know anything about
forecasting. I obtain my information from my donkey. If I see my
donkey’s ears drooping, it means with certainty that it will rain.”
So the King hired the donkey.
And thus began the practice of hiring dumb asses to work in the
government and occupy its highest and most influential positions. The
practice is unbroken to this date and the Democrat symbol was born.
