Parker trip, part 3.

After Ward grilled dinner for us we took off the next morning. It was too short a trip. We all decided that we liked the area. Maybe we can go there next winter? Linda and I snapped a bunch of cactus pictures on the way home.
On I-10 is a great area of cool rocks called Texas Canyon.
Back home. The end.

Parker Trip, part 2

After deciding the 5th wheel was a POS we went sight seeing and visiting. Dave stopped to gas up and Linda says "look it's Santa!" Sure enough!
We visited Pat & Ward, fellow work campers from Diamond RV Campground this summer. The amazing thing was that Jerry Parr, who we met here in NM is staying in the same RV Park as Pat & Ward. We had dinner at their place. It was an great evening with good friends. It was fun to meet the new puppy Aggie and to see Tommy and Rowdy again.
Pat and Ward have a great site at their park. It's right on the Colorado River. Dave told Lou he would investigate a business to help him with the sale of his camper. Dave found a business that has my name. As we pulled up and Dave went in to talk to the folks 2 guys came out. I was taking pictures as they said "we are a historical business" and I said "did you say historical or hysterical." I guess they didn't like that as they turned around and left. Thus the blog name change.

Sunday joke.




Tom Brady got to heaven. God was showing him around. They came to a modest house w/ a faded Patriots flag in the window. "This house is yours for eternity, said God."This is very special; not everyone gets a house up here."

Tom felt special & walked up to his house. On his way, he noticed another house. It was a huge 3-story mansion w/ Orange & Blue sidewalks & drive ways, a 50' flagpole w/ an enormous Broncos flag waving, swimming pool in shape of a horse, a Broncos logo in every window & a Tebow jersey on front door.Tom looked @ God & said "I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I was an all-pro QB, won 3 Super Bowls, & went to Hall of Fame."


God said "what's your point Tom?"
"Well, why does Tim Tebow get a better house than me?"


God chuckled & said "Tom, that's not Tim's house, it's mine."

Sunday joke.




A GREAT WEEKEND!!!!

A balding, white haired man from Ft. Lauderdale in Florida , walked into a jewelry store this past Friday evening with a beautiful much younger gal at his side.
He told the jeweler he was looking for a special ring for his girlfriend. The jeweler looked through his stock and brought out a $5,000 ring.
The man said, 'No, I'd like to see something more special.'
At that statement, the jeweler went to his special stock and brought another ring over. 'Here's a stunning ring at only $40,000 the jeweler said. The lady's eyes sparkled and her whole body trembled with excitement. The old man seeing this said, 'We'll take it.'
The jeweler asked how payment would be made and the man stated, 'by check. I know you need to make sure my check is good, so I'll write it now and you can call the bank Monday to verify the funds and I'll pick the ring up Monday afternoon.'
On Monday morning, the jeweler angrily phoned the old man and said 'There's no money in that account.'
'I know,' said the old man,
'But let me tell you about MY GREAT WEEKEND!'
See.......Not All Seniors Are Senile

puppies



Week Three

This is a week of many firsts for the new litter. By week three, puppies are starting to really be on the move. Their adventurous side will begin to show and they will be moving around more often. The puppies should still be getting their meals from their mother but to place less stress on Mom, you can begin supplemental feedings. This is especially helpful to dams with large litters.

The teeth will start to erupt and puppies will stand and start walking. Some wet food placed on your hand will be devoured by the three-week old bundles. Replacer milk designed just for puppies will be lapped up which will also give their mother a break. Puppies will begin to play so adding some small toys or fabric-type items to their whelping box will provide stimulation. Pups will also need their first worming at three weeks

Dear God?

Dear God: Is it on purpose that Our
Names are spelled the same, only in reverse?

Dear God: Why do humans smell the flowers,
but seldom, if ever, smell one another?

Dear God: When we get to Heaven, can we sit
on your couch? Or will it be the same old story?

Dear God: Why are there cars named after
the jaguar, the cougar, the mustang,
the colt, the stingray, and the rabbit, but not ONE
named for a Dog? How often do you
see a cougar riding around? We love a nice car
ride! Would it be so hard to rename
the 'Chrysler Eagle' the 'Chrysler Beagle'?

Dear God: If a Dog barks his head off
in the forest and no human hears him,
is he still a bad Dog?

Dear God: We Dogs can understand human
verbal instructions, hand signals, whistles,
horns, clickers, beepers, scent IDs,
electromagnetic energy fields, and Frisbee
flight paths. What do humans understand?

Dear God: More meatballs,
less spaghetti, please.

Dear God: Are there mailmen in Heaven?
If there are, will I have to apologize?

Dear God: Here is a list of
just some of the things I must remember
to be a good Dog:

1. I will not eat the cat's food before he eats
it or after he throws it up.
2. I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish,
crabs, etc., just because I like the way they smell.
3. The Litter Box is not a cookie jar.
4. The sofa is not a 'face towel'.
5. The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff.
6. I will not play tug-of-war with Dad's
underwear when he's on the toilet.
7. Sticking my nose into someone's
crotch is an unacceptable way of saying 'hello'.
8. I don't need to suddenly stand
straight up when I'm under the coffee table.
9. I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before
entering the house - not after.
10. I will not come in from outside,
and immediately drag my butt across the carpet.
11. I will not sit in the middle of the living
room, and lick my crotch.
12. The cat is not a 'squeaky toy',
so when I play with him and he makes that noise,
it's usually not a good thing.

Sunday joke.



What's in the box?
A little old lady went to the grocery store one day to buy some cat food. She picked up four cans and took them to the check-out
counter.

The girl at the cash register said, "I'm sorry, but we cannot
sell you cat food without proof that you have a cat. A lot of
old people buy cat food to eat, and the management wants
proof that you are buying the cat food for your cat."

The little old lady went home, picked up her cat and brought
it back to the store for them to see. They sold her the cat food.

The next day, she went to the store to buy some cans of dog food.

Again the cashier said "I'm sorry, but we cannot sell you dog food without proof that you have a dog. A lot of old people buy dog food to eat, so the management wants proof that you are buying the dog
food for your dog."

She went home and brought in her dog. She then was then allowed
to buy the dog food.

The next day she brought in a box with a hole in the lid. The
little old lady asked the cashier to stick her finger in the hole.

The cashier said, "No, you might have a snake in there."

The little old lady assured her that there was nothing in the
box that would harm her. So the cashier put her finger into
the box and pulled it out.

She raised her finger to her nose and said to the little old lady, "That's terrible. It smells like shit."

The little old lady said, "Yes, it is. I want to buy three rolls of

toilet paper."

Now folks....... Remember, don't mess with old people.

Parker trip, part 1.

Norma and Lou wanted us to go to Big River, CA to pick up a fifth wheel for them. Newell and Linda jumped in the back seat and off we went. The short version is 1. camper was a POS 2. decision was made to leave it there 3. let's go explore! Earlier when Dennis & Sharen discovered we were making the trip they decided to come meet us. They were not very far away. They are 2 of our NM group. We meet them and Pat & Ward (fellow work campers from Diamond RV Park, in Woodland Park) for dinner. I was sick with a terible head cold and could not breathe. Pat hugged me at the restaurant and said "you are burning up." I guess I must have been contagious huh! Back to the adventure. The next morning we inspected the camper and Lou decided to cut his loses. Live & learn. We proceeded over to pick up Dennis & Sharen and off to Lake Havasu City we went. Dave & Dennis in the front of the truck with me, Sharen, Linda and Newell in the back. YUP it was cozy. OK, shift turn the other way, my butts asleep!! We wondered around the London Bridge, inspecting & shopping. Yes,it is from London. Only $4 million to get it over here and another 2 mill to put it in it's chosen spot. It is cool tho!
I bought my new hat there. Red started it. His was way too cool. It looks great on Dave.
As we were walking across the bridge for lunch there goes Ward & Pat's jeep. If you ever need to find them go to the local brewery. Ward had a doc appt. so they ate and rushed off. Here's Dennis & Sharen enjoying a sample of beers.
The reason for the blog name change next time.......
