This is a trip...

Man this is a trip...I am trying to post a new onto my blog and had a heck of a time...currently I am on the other half of the world and the IP address makes everything from google to my blog log in page comes up in Chinese...so I have to guess which button to click on to get here...but here I am...yay..Then on the other odd days...the print is all in Arabic...what's next...At least they have CocaCola here...at least I think that is what it is...lol...here is to enjoying "the Real thing"

Variation on a theme...

It's not by Paganini...just a variation for my hat of the nonce...finally looks like I will get to wear this one for a while...perhaps the tops of my ears will appreciate it. Meanwhile dust is also an issue...hmmm..don't think a hat will take care of that though...Have a nice day...

George

It ain't really this bad

Well, I am sitting in south OK, and yes the airport was small. I have yet to get out and about but I have actually seen some members of the Cherokee community. I really hadn't given it much thought, but now that I am out here I might just go by and see one of the big casino's too.

My hat for the nonce...

My hats will be limited for now to only a select few...Uncle Sugar has seen to that...So here is the one for now...maybe later a variation on the theme but probably still the same color...

One of my classics...

I have one of these and it is one of the few I don't wear, so I don't get it dirty. They don't make these any more. The Generals were a team to behold, and Herschel Walker kept em going...

A break from hats...for "Hatterfox"

Wow, just came across a video from some guys I went to school with , back in the day... Looking at the audience, I even think I see a girl I dated once...Wow...those were the day. It was rockin...enjoy.

Among my fave's ..hats...

Here is the hat o day for today... My Auburn University hat, one of many ... but I like the way this one fits. I like my hats to have a little character and I can't stand a straight brim...so I usually get mine broke in pretty well. This was on a beautiful day at Kitty Hawk...I know the hat doesn't really look like an Auburn hat but that is what it says.

My newest hat

Here is a hat my dad just gave me a short while back. I haven't gotten any since. The significance for this hat... http://www.berlin-brigade.de/ http://www.berlinbrigade.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Brigade

I used to have one of those hats...

I remember the steel pot...I used to have one. A lot handier than the Kevlar one used today, although I think the kevlar is a bit better at actually protecting your melon.... enjoy the clip...

Another hat...

And here is my Shimano hat...seems I might have been wearing it when I was fishing for peacock bass...that was a fun day...

here are a few links that might be useful in this area...

Failure to communicate...

Sorry, it has been a really busy time for me...haven't had much time to blog lately. Most of my little comments have been on my facebook page...see link somewhere else on my page.

Hat o Day 3

Martin Equipment http://www.bobst.com/Global/Corporate/en/Tradenames/MARTIN/ A fine company for producing precision packaging... http://www.motionnet.com/cgi-bin/websearch.exe?string=rapidex ... also for more info on this industry see http://www.tappi.org/s_tappi/sec_events.asp?CID=96&DID=116 That hat was my favortite for a while...

Hat o Day 2

Today...I dig out an old hat from American Roller http://www.americanroller.com/ one of our rubber roll vendors from my days in the corrugated and paper packaging industry. I miss some of the aspects of my job then but not the work hours...LOL ...this hat has seen a little bit of use. I collect hats, but it is very rare that I don't actually wear them. Very very few of my hats are mint. I like to wear them...so until tomorrow...have a happy hat day...

hat of the day...

I have a lot of hats...a lot... so I have decided to look through them and see if I can remember when or where I got them... some are more special to me than others...

Here is one I got from a vendor actually we used them for quite a bit of our LTL...less than a trailer load... pretty good folks... I wonder if they are doing well during these trying economic times... I guess I will attach a link to their sites when applicable... http://www.con-way.com/en/ http://www.hankstruckpictures.com/df_cwx.htm http://www.ccx.com/

I would have gotten this hat around the late 90's...as you can see it has gotten a good bit of use..

Almost done...

Still need latches...but it is coming along pretty good. Might put lattice up by the top so wifey can grow Confederate Jasmine..she love its scent...

The pen ...beginnings...

Well, the holes are dug and the posts have been set... actually more is done but not all photo'd yet...so here is step 2... the dogs are anxious...

Thought for the day...Sugar cookies...mmmmmm

My daughter is going off to the store for ingredients...she is going to make me , rather us... some suger cookies...my favorite. yum...

Keeping busy...

This particular tool has been keeping me pretty busy lately...pretty good exercise too...I know an auger would be a whole lot quicker, but I like the personal touch you get by using old fashioned post hole diggers. Also an advantage of using this is that should you encounter something such as a pipe or such... you have a chance to avoid damaging it versus drilling through with an auger...oops...It could be disaster. Always find out if you have anything under your yard or garden before digging. Many communities now have much of their infrastructure such as cables and gas lines, water lines, sewer, etc...under ground and many times they don't run in what you might think is a common sense manner. I have yet to figure out their madness but I am sure there is a method to it. Anyhoo...my dogs will soon have a big playpen to call theirs...and it should keep them from visiting my neighbors inadvertently. :)

Is it Trashday again???

I don't know how I did it...but it IS trash day again...LOL guess I should go and roll it out to the curb...

It's Trashday again...

Yup...it's trashday...gotta go put it on the curb...

I forgot Flag Day

I forgot to post it but my flag was flying. I fly it everyday unless it is storming out. It is a reminder to me of our freedoms and of the people that have given us those freedoms. http://www.usflag.org/colors.html Never forget...

The GREED is back...

Apparently the GREED is back...America has problems we all agree, but when the price of gas went down to a reasonable level we could go on with our lives with a sense that perhaps there might just be an end to this tunnel. We have all gotten used to the idea that a "Stacation" might ot be all that bed, after all spending time getting to know what kind of vacation activities your local area has might prove to not be so bad after all. I figured that we would be back over $2.50 for a gallon of regular soon, but I figured it might not be until the Fourth of July weekend... but NOOOOOO it is back...early. I realize that for much of the nation there still might be some cheap gas available but for some reason we are in that little yellow spot in the SouthEast that has decided that fuel prices need to come up. I don't know that I will ever understand it. Man if we bought the rest of our daily supplies the same way we buy gas...who knows what the price of a gallon of milk might be or a loaf of bread. ( I mean...they could always say that they predict the price of wheat fertilizer is expected to triple in the next six months so they need to get their money now... I am not paying $6.00 for a loaf of bread. ) When will it all end.... http://gasbuddy.com/gb_gastemperaturemap.aspx

June 9 Gran Torino DVD released

Hey ...today it comes out on DVD at your local stores...I thought it was a real good movie...Though provoking as well, I liked the acting... I especially liked the car, but I wished we would have seen more of that...oh well.. Enjoy... http://www.thegrantorino.com/

I am reeling in the years...Happy Day to me...

Well, I have reached the half century mark.. Happy Birthday to me...

Y today...

Why today...no "Y" today...yes today 50 years ago the "Y" was invented. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YMCA and they are no longer restricted to young men, but to men, women, boys and girls of all faiths and nationalities.

50 years ago...

Here is a point of view from 50 years ago. It has pretty interesting points and some amazing insight. This is from Harding College ( I visited there in the 70's for a Citizenship Seminar...very good too.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WB6p5QPVhPI

Wow...today is famous!

Here is a fancy fact for you. On this day in 1937...shopping buggies were born...Here in the South we call em buggies not carts. I remember in New York they looked at me real funny when I said I needed a buggy in the store...LOL Well that is all past... Check this out http://www.wired.com/thisdayintech/2009/06/dayintech_0604/

Welcome to the new hurricane season..

Well it is officially here although I don't see anything blowing right now...we did have a depression last week...I am not sure but I figure it will probably be pretty active...what with "Global Warming " and all... so here is the link to the list of the new names for 2009 including some greats such as Bill and Mindy. I am not sure those should be hurricane names... http://www.ohsep.louisiana.gov/hurricanerelated/2009hurrNme.htm

Have a nice day. :)

cut, cut,cut,snip.snip

Well, today...rather yesterday was the first real good day we have had in a while and my grass decided to grow two feet. sooo, I guess I had to do something about it...get the mower out and mow, mow , mow. Looks a lot better now, although I can see I still need to seed some bare patches. My little grove out front needs a bit more of the underbush mulched out but I will get to that when I get more gas. ( ran out yesterday) Today, though, I take a break. Listen, I think I hear the Huddle House calling my name.... Tom .....Tom ... :)

ps: AI know this is an old photo...LOL

ooohh, Sleestacks

Wow, I guess since the new Will Farrell version of the "Land of the Lost" is coming out, there is going to be mania...The SCI FI channel just had their all day marathon of old episodes of the show. My daughter filled up my DVR with em. Still it was fun. I remember watching them on Saturday mornings. Now you look at the old episodes and go ...how hokey is that. Still all in all it was a money maker for the network and it was low budget. The only thing missing was cameo appearances by Kukla Fran and Ollie. Have fun with this one. Here is a link to watch some other old Scifi stuff... http://www.scifi.com/drivein/

5-8-1938 --- 12-12-2000 MCMHF

Today she would have been 71 years young... I miss her. I was just thinking how, if she were alive today she would have a ton of friends emailing from Germany and she would probably have learned to use Facebook too. The world has gotten a whole lot smaller and time has passed so quickly. Doesn't seem like nine years have passed. Love ya mom.

5 - 7 ...mix

Today is 5 - 7 another way we might say it is Heinz 57 such as I don't know how many different kinds of dog is in there... I guess that comes from the sauce but I know it is used more often when referring to breeds of dog..."What kind is it?" " I don't know , probably a heinz 57" One of my best dogs was a "57" She was named Nipper after the RCA dog who heard his master's voice. I chose it for her brown ear. Well she has passed over the rainbow bridge to a happier place but I was thinking of her today. This is one of my favorite pic's of her. Hope you like it.

Scrubs is Scrubbed

Well today the 6th of May 2009 is the finale episode for the sitcom Scrubs. I have watched a few shows but my daughters and wife think it is hilarious. I would rather watch ER for my medical show or St. Elsewhere for the comic relief in medical shows but I think House has its moments too. So farewell to Scrubs ... I don't believe any of the lead actors has signed on for any continued episodes...so if by any quirk the networks decide to try and renew...well I guess they will have to negotiate or we will see so,e new folks in scrubs trying to make you laugh. On another line...I do like to wear scrubs...they are quite comfortable. Well until the next great event... oh but if you want to watch old episodes of Scrubs, you can always check em out on fancast http://www.fancast.com/tv/Scrubs/91744/full-episodes

2 May -- Happy 76 to Nessie

On a positve note...76 years ago today, the first sightings of the Loch Ness monster were made. Pictures and theories abound and I am not about to try and debunk this big mystery. I think if they want to have a monster living in their lake over in Scotland, then by all means. After all it is a great tourist draw. Personally I have never been to Scotland, perhaps oneday I might have the chance. I think I should like to see the Scottish highlands and Lochs and even "old" Nessie...she ought to be getting pretty gray by now, so I don't know if she'll make it to the time I eventually make it over there. Anyway, I thought that would make today a special day. For a short video on the subject, see this sight... http://www.thehistorychannel.co.uk/site/this_day_in_history/this_day_May_2.php

by the way the picture is found at the celtic attic shop http://www.celticattic.com/

Enjoy your day. :)

It is MAYDAY

MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY...that is what a pilot says when he is in distress, what does a country or world say? Seems we have a lot of distressing news, such as the newest flu whether you call it swine flu or H1N1 or R2D2. It seems to be distressing a lot of folks. Seems though they have yet to actually find a pig that has it. The economy as well, especially if you work for Chrysler. I have had several Dodges and liked them, I would hate to see the company go away, but I am not sure how a DodgeFiat will look. I hope this whole month isn't going to be full of distressing stuff...

Perez Who????? Apples and Oranges...

Since when is Perez Hilton a celebrity? I thought all he was good for was trying to get the "dirt" on the hollywood crowd. Ooooh, he was upset by Miss California telling her honest opinion, just because it was in front of all of America, he thought he would step all over it and have a hissy. My belief system gives me the same value that "marriage" is a blessed union between a man and a woman. I know that anyone can call something else whatever they wanf but if I have an apple and you want to call your orange an apple too I really don't think they are the same thing. Gay people have been able to get married for years. I mean if a gay man wants to marry a woman...hey what's holding him back...now if you want to call two guys living together a marriage , well that is where you are trying to call an orange an "Apple" ... two plusses don't make it. I believe if they want some form of state sanctioned arrangement then that is fine, just don't call it "marriage" ... That is just the way I see it. It isn't taking any "Rights" away, that is not what I am about, just let them find their own arrangement, but it isn't marriage.

Some things are better with baby slobber...:)

I was thinking the other day, somethings are best with "baby slobber" I mean, think about all the good times with your children, ( when they were real small ) and it didn't take any time at all then poof they are grown or growing up and wanting to be their own person. So, appreciate the times when they are little and give you their version of love..."baby slobber" I know, I know...it sounds gross, but you will learn to miss it. This is my first baby ...growing up too fast... I know I miss her little days but I have learned to appreciate her grown days too. I hope and pray I have raised her properly, I am proud of her and the choices she makes. This is for you ...my little "Homer" ( another story for another day) I am proud of you ...keep making the right choices and know I will always love you,

Love Da

Relay For Life

Most likely you know someone who has been affected by someone who has or has had cancer of one form or another. For me it has been my grandfather, my mother , her mother and several other friends. My father-in-law too has been touched by a mild form of cancer; but has no signs any longer, thank God. So in remembrance of my mother please support Relay for Life. My brother has a team site and your gift is tax deductable. Thank you.

Powder? What Powder...

Just looking at old photo's...this one is one of my favorites. I can't find the one with peanut butter, but you know the drill. How did you know what I was up to...after all . I love these memories. everyone should have em so good. Thanks "Em" for the good days and the not, but hey I hope I am raising you right. I am so proud of you. Love, Da

Now that I have paid...

Hey, now that I have paid my taxes to my government of my no longer "Christian" nation...do I get to wear a scarf in my new driver's license picture???? Just checking to see if we are still a free country? Not that I would ever have a "mug shot" but what about that? Hey is this rediculous or what...have you seen that one where a girl (of a nationality or religion that says cover up) accused of murder was arrested and in her mug shot she wasn't covered from head to toe so her husband was "offended"... http://www.southtownstar.com/news/opinion/speakout/1530741,041709mugshotreact.article http://www.wbbm780.com/Islam--insulted--by-alleged-child-killer-s-mug-sho/4179883 http://republicaninthearts.blogspot.com/2009/04/alleged-child-killer-nour-hadids.html not to worry, he wasn't offended at all that she killed their child ( allegedly ) . apparently the value of life is only good if it hiding under a sheet. I don't think I will ever understand. I don't know if I ever want to understand either.

How did your TeaParty go?

I thought this was a pretty cool poster for the Tea Parties to protest excessive spending. Just in case you thought it was over taxes...this time it was more over the excessive spending of this current administration. Differences of opinions over how the economy should be revitalized. etc... This is where I got the pic... http://patriotroom.com/article/grab-your-indian-gear--the-american-tea-party-happens-on-friday- ... here are some notes on other tea parties that went on yesterday. http://www.wtoctv.com/global/story.asp?s=10190245 http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090415/ap_on_re_us/tax_day_protests http://taxdayteaparty.com/ http://www.teapartyday.com/ http://redstateeclectic.typepad.com/redstate_commentary/2009/03/april-15-tea-parties.html even in California http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/object/article?f=/n/a/2009/04/15/national/a080019D17.DTL&o=0

Teaparty Mania

Gotta love the spirit...I support em too... Today is the official Tax Day for this year and it is also the day that many across America are expressing their frustration with the current administrations tax policies. Spending all my hard earned money for me. Well I think if you really want to induce me to spend more and help the economy you should allow mw to keep more of my money in the first place. By the way, why do we need all those extra people in the Government for anyway. How does spending my tax dollars on someones else to have an abortion ( killing a very small person ) help the economy? : or giving some of my money to some artist for some display ( which he/she might have done anyway for the appreciation of the public ) that will only be shown for a short while benefit my community? I can see spending money for the safety and wellbeing ( fire services, security, some infrastructure ( most of which should be funded locally ) schools, and that sort of thing but don't make me pay for the extra things that perhaps someone in California might want like nationalized healthcare. I believe in States rights' and as such I believe that the Federal government shouldn't interfere in such matters that are not specifically outlined in the Constitution.

Remembering Good Friday

Today we also need to recognize Good Friday and its significance in our history. This is the day we take time to remember Jesus death on the cross.

John 3:16 (New International Version)
16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[a] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

We also have other means to help us to remember...http://www.thepassionofthechrist.com/splash.htm

Ten Trill, not Tendril

Although they want to get their tendrils into your money this is about Ten Trillion... can you say? $ 1 0 , 0 0 0 , 0 0 0 , 0 0 0 , 0 0 0 . 0 0 . a whole lotta zero's. Hey we have almost reached the deficit count. see http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/ . I think when I began this counting thing, the deficit was only 9.3 Trillion or something like that... well it is now over eleven and counting. What can I do next? I suppose I might go back and see if I can see how many things we can buy with that kind of money hmmmmm... by the way, other people are concerned about this money thing too... http://yedies.blogspot.com/2009/03/trillion-dollars.html

A Trilli---an, A Lot

A TRILLION is a whole lot.

Lets see that... $ 1 , 0 0 0 , 0 0 0 , 0 0 0 , 0 0 0 . 0 0 ...hoo hoo. (http://100777.com/node/455) (http://www.jimloy.com/math/trillion.htm) What could it buy two years ago...well see http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/17/business/17leonhardt.html ... any way if you want to see the current debt clock here it is... http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/ . I do like this one though...check it out http://chris.jurnl.com/files/2009/03/trilliondollarsvacation.jpg I know I sure could use one. :)

Billions and Billions, and I don't mean stars

Just like Carl Sagan used to say, "Billions and billions..." If you are just joining, I have been doing a progressive series on how many days will it take to get to the grand amount our Prez and congress are going to be billing our kids in the future. Today is the day I picked to give you another zero, added to yesterdays... so now our figure is $ 1 0 0 , 0 0 0 , 0 0 0 , 0 0 0 . 0 0 , I guess that would one hundred Billion . It is nowhere near our deficit yet but it is over what tht Prez recently requested. ( see http://87billion.com/ ) Just to get an inkling of what that would be like to see well it would be huge... here is another guy concerned about this amount... http://www.correntewire.com/remember_when_100_billion_dollars_seemed_like_a_lot_of_money although in the war torn country of Zimbabwe 100 Billion of their dollars is only equal to one of ours...that is literally $1.00. http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/africa/07/19/zimbabwe.banknotes/index.html Man, I could be a rich man over there. What is the world coming to.? Think about it. By the way, this picture is nowhere near how large a stack this will be. Check out the http://87billion.com/ site for a more accurate depiction. It is quite impressive. WOW.

11BigBills

Eleven Billion Dollars today...well I tried to find a good pic to represent $11,000,000,000.00 but this will have to do. It is just a big stack of money, not enough I am sure, but tomorrow I will show a bigger stack. But if you are interested in what will be coming next, well I found a site that has the names for all the amounts listed, I mean the really big ones that I never knew the names for... http://www.jimloy.com/math/billion.htm enjoy! I just know that it is gonna take a real long time to pay off that kind of money. :(

A Milliard?

A milliard you saay, what is that, well in America it is a Billion so in dollars that would be $ 1,000,000,000.00 . Hmmm that is a lot of zeros. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1000000000_(number) also known as 1000 million (1 milliard) Hey I learned something new today.

photo from http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://i.zdnet.com/blogs/update-3-billion-census-bureau-it-failure.jpg&imgrefurl=http://blogs.zdnet.com/projectfailures/%3Fp%3D674&usg=__FBF9YihRhjrSaoPaQFBiqTg1g98=&h=401&w=450&sz=124&hl=en&start=1&um=1&tbnid=RQd47XncBKZBkM:&tbnh=113&tbnw=127&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dbillion%26hl%3Den%26rls%3Dcom.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox%26rlz%3D1I7GWYE_en%26sa%3DN%26um%3D1

Another 100,000,000.00 that is history

I am sure, in my mind at least, that one hundred million used to be a really big number. After all if it were to take me more than 48 years just to make my first million then heavens! It will take 480 years to make this amount...no I am sorry , lets make that 4800 years. So Methusalem wouldn't have even made a dent either. Nowadays I guess it is just another drop in the bucket, and since everyone is doing away with their money and getting some other form of exchange that would make this bill either worthless or nearly so. ( Except for some collector) Once, though I guess this could have really done some good for a bunch of people. It is worth thinking about.

If only it were this easy

Ten Million, that is a lot of stuff...so you would think, but here is an example of not a lot of worth. Ten Million Dollars in Zimbwabe sounds like a lot but if you converted it to U.S. Dollars well se here:

Saturday, April 4, 2009
10,000,000 Zimbabwe Dollar = 0.26731 US Dollar roughly almost 27 cents.

but if you had 10,000,000 US Dollar (USD) that equals 374,100,300,000,000.00 Zimbabwe Dollar (ZWD) I don't even know if there is a name for this number .

I don't think outside of winning a lottery, I will never see even the other big numbers I have posted this week, but I wanted to see how big it was. Just for your info, I got the conversion through this site: http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/africa/zimbabwe/currency.htm

Is There A Roman Numeral for this?

1 Million Dollars...Is there a short numeral for this? We tend to say 1 Mil or some other little phrase that makes this seem small but it is actually pretty huge. $1 , 0 0 0 , 0 0 0 . 0 0 If I were making minimum wage ( Covered nonexempt workers are entitled to a minimum wage of not less than $6.55 per hour effective July 24, 2008 ) How long would it take me to make my first Million dollars...not to actually have a million but to have earned it ( remember you have to live on something at the same time...) well calculated on an average of 2080 hours per year ( 40 hours times 52 weeks ) making $13,624 annually ...it would take that person 73.4 years just to say they made a million in their lifetime. That is also why it peaves me when these young talented athletes with bad attitudes make millions and also get bonuses then blow their money without anythought for their fellow man or community. They don't think about the people that have to WORK for a living. This is an extreme I know, but there are many Americans that are on the low end of the wage scale. If you were to move the wage up to around ten dollars hourly, it would still take a bit over 48 years to earn. More do-able yet still how much of that are they able to invest or save? I am sure for about 98% it ain't no million. So the next time congress throws these numbers around so easily, remember it is still a lot of money. Tomorrow...we get the next zero...........ooohh

By the way...this bill is not real legal tender, here is where you can get some though if you like...
