Hygiene Protest Month 3

Well I still haven't shaved and it feels great!!!

I did however almost have a relapse and went into the bathroom and trimmed things up a bit, but thank goodness I came to my senses before I did the gosh awful tragedy of taking the life of my facial hair
(that would have been murder and that's against the law).
Now I kind of wish I hadn't even trimmed up because I was beginning to look like a grizzly, mountain man. But it is for my grandma's 85th Birthday party tomorrow so I suppose I can trim up once every 85 years.
Please don't be disheartened I have kept other important "areas" trimmed and breezy.

Time to shave...again

Ok it's time for me to shave once again and if you have read my past posts or you know me, you know how I feel about the daunting task of shaving.
Well a very good friend of mine sent me something that I really want.

It's this new razor they have out and with this baby I'll only be shaving like once a year..if that.



Thanks a bunch for the sweet hook up Mark.

Cat Carrier


Just a little post and this is more for my brother dave then anyone else.


We were thinking about getting a pet for the kids because that would teach them responsibility and how to care for another living thing, so I thought maybe a cat...then I thought ...we would need a "cat carrier" so that our beloved "new" family member could go to all the places we go safe and sound.
I found this and I think it would work just fine. Let me know what you think, I would just hate to waste $20.00 on something that's not going to work for what we need.

Trash Monster

Ever since we moved into our new place there has not been one week, not one single week that the neighbors trash has not cluttered my side of the back yard...let me explain.

We live in a duplex/condominium and every week at one point or another their trashcan gets dumped over by something in the middle of the night. This might not be such a big problem if the next day when my neighbors see the litter that they would then pick it up.

We had a wild cat that had a litter and I thought that she was who was getting into their trash, but in the past 2 weeks I have changed my mind, and why you ask ... well 1st and foremost, I haven't seen the cats in awhile and 2nd, one time I saw the mother cat outside(this was in the middle of the night) run from some dark shadowy figure, then the trashcan got tore apart.

This past week we had our windows open because of the cool air and fairly low humidity. At about 2:30 in the morning I awoke to the sounds of vandalism in the backyard so I stumbled out of bed grabbed my camera, and ran outside to take a pic in the darkness so I would finally have an answer to what this thing was.

You know it wouldn't have bothered me so much but the neighbors always wait 2 or 3 days to pick up all the trash that gets dumped and I think the reason they do it is because in that amount of time the wind will blow at least 30 to 40% of the crap in my yard then they have less to pick up and even then they only pick up some of it, leaving the rest for me to pick up or to blow into our fence line which has now become a land fill. If it was me I'd get tried of having my trash blow all over the place and do something to make sure that nothing could dump my trash can over and rip into my stinking bags of filth.


Can you see anything in this pic?


This is the next day and I was so relieved to see that there was hardly any amount of trash...but then again this was only 1 day after we put our trash out for pick up. So what I'm wondering is why the trash monster was so late this week?...maybe nothing good to eat...maybe not enough litter to throw in my yard so it could look like a nuclear waste station...maybe the stench of rotting flesh from all their half eaten take out wasn't strong enough, or the fact that maggots hadn't began to form in their trashcan....well heck I don't know but I was so happy that for once I wouldn't be picking up 5 tons of crap out of my yard just to keep the kids from getting mono/AIDs or some kind of staff disease.

6:00am



Even thought I have never seen the "Trash Monster" it must look something close to this because of all the damage I've seen and all the horendish noises.


I wish he'd pick up after himself.

Old time ads

Since I don't have to much to write about I thought I might post some "old time ads"

"click on the image to see a larger version"

I can't wait until this comes to my gas station.
Man how much easier would that be than the stupid pull tabs that we have.

Well that does it then I'm going to start smoking again.
But this time I won't make the same mistake of smoking Basics(cause they cause cancer).


I hear you loud and clear good buddy.
But not on the "Fag" thing.


Everything's better with FAT...here's the proof.
Just look how happy Paula Deen is(I would have dinner with her every night. Butter Butter Butter and more Butter).


Slim Fast eat your heart out.
I remember my mom picking worms out of my butt when I was a kid.

Special Agent Training 2

Well the real reason for this post today is to see how everyone likes the new look of my blog.

With help from my Megbabe I have added some of my favorite links to the right so you can enjoy them too and I hope the new colors will be easier on your eyes.

As far as my S.A.T. (special agent training) goes...well not so good.
I never did the timed running because when I did the push-ups and the sit-ups I was sore for 3 days afterwards and I only scored 2 points according to the FBI site, so I'm going to do a week of stretching before I try anymore.
In my minds eye I'm still in my 20's so I have to face the fact that I'm not.


Just a pic of my coolness.

Special Agent Training

Special Agent Training

Remember back in grade school when you had to complete the president's physical fitness test?

My brother Larry always came out in front and in fact set almost all the school records.

We were like 3 or 4 grades apart but when I got to his grade level the recored still had yet to be broken...I wounder if some 20 years later he has any left to be toped.

A guy I consider a friend of mine(O.B. He's the one that started me thinking about doing this.) began looking on-line at various physical fitness requirements for the Army, Navy Seals, and FBI, and found the FBI's Special Agent fitness requirements.

Here are the parameters:

Tomorrow with the help of Meg I will see were I stack up and what I have to work on...remember that I just stopped smoking a little over 2 weeks ago so this is going to be interesting.
