August 26 Funny Cars and Wheel Standers Sunday evening and im home alone??? Carol and Kristy went for supper at her moms and Matt & Cass have gone over to a friends house. I spent yesterday in Saskatoon watching the Drag races. My sister went 3 rounds before she lost. (Not bad) She is still in second place in the standings with one more weekend of racing to go. I have added some pics of yesterdays events. August 22 Home Sweet Home Hello again...Im home from our trip to Toronto and the Nascar race in Detroit. We had a great time travelling and seeing tons of stuff. The race was a little bit of a downer. Watching the drivers practice and qualify for sundays race on friday was Ahsome. Saturday was more practicing and the Bush race. Then came sunday a cool and rainy day with no race. Rescheduled for monday which wasnt a problem for us. We had a extra day planned before we returned home. But it rained all day monday as well. So no Nextel Nascar race this time. We managed to get back to Toronto monday evening to catch a BlueJays ballgame. That was great!!!
I have added a few pics of the CN Tower, the BlueJay's game and some from the Michigan Race Track. I have a lot more pics and will post them later.
Everything went well at work while i was gone.( No Surprise) I added some pics of the church the boys have been working on. They should complete the painting on friday. After talking with a couple of church officials today we now have all the pews to varnish next week . There is a wedding scheduled for this weekend so we have to clear out for that. I had to let one of my new kids go this morning. My staff requested he be let go. He wasnt a team player and a bit of a shit disturber. His mom works for me as well and she agreed it was for the best that he leave my employment.
Its great to travel, see and do different things but its always nice to come HOME!!!
More stories and pics to follow... A golf lesson!!!GOLF
Never discount age and wisdom when the outcome is important. A father, son and grandson went to the country club for their weekly round
of golf. Just as they reached the first tee, a beautiful young blonde woman carrying her bag of clubs approached them. She explained that the member who brought her to the club for a round of golf had an emergency that called him
away and asked the trio whether she could join them. Naturally, the guys all agreed.
Smiling, the blonde thanked them and said, "Look, fellows, I work in a topless bar as a dancer, so nothing shocks me anymore. If any of you want to smoke cigars, have a beer, bet, swear, tell off-color stories or do anything that you normally do when playing a round together, go ahead. But I enjoy playing golf, consider myself pretty good at it, so don't try to coach me on how to play my shots." With that the guys agreed to relax and invited her to drive first. All eyes were fastened on her shapely behind as she bent to place her ball on the tee. She then took her driver and hit the ball 270 yards down the middle, right in front of the green.
The father's mouth was agape. "That was beautiful," he said. The blonde put her driver away and said, "Thanks but I really didn't quite get into it,
and I have faded it a little." After the three guys hit their drives and their second
shots, the blonde took out an eight iron and lofted the ball within five feet of the
hole (She was closest to the pin.)
The son said, "Damn, lady, you played that perfectly."
The blonde frowned and said, "It was a little weak, but even an easy seven would have been too much club. I've left a tricky little putt." She then tapped in the five-footer for a birdie. Having the honors, she drove first on the second hole, knocked the hell out of the ball, and it landed nearly 300 yards away smack in the middle of the fairway. For the rest of the round the statuesque blonde continued to amaze the
guys, quietly and methodically shooting for par or less on every hole. When they arrived at the 18th green, the blonde was three under par, and had a very nasty 12-foot putt on an undulating green for a par. She turned to the three guys and said, "I really want to thank you all for not acting like a bunch of chauvinists and telling me what club to use or how to play a shot, but I need this putt for a 69 and I'd really like to break 70 on this course.
If any one of you can help me make par on this hole and shoot that 69, I'll take him
back to my apartment, pour some 35-year-old Single Malt Strathmill Scotch in him,
fix him a steak dinner and then show him a very wonderful evening.
The yuppie son jumped at the thought! He strolled across the green, carefully eyeing the line of the putt and finally said, "Honey, aim about 6 inches to the right of the hole and hit it firm. It will get over that little hump and break right into the cup.
The father knelt down and sighted the putt using his putter as a plumb. Don't listen to the kid, sweetheart, you want to hit it softly 10 inches to the right and let it run left down that little hogback, so it falls into the cup. The old gray-haired grandfather walked over to the blonde's ball, picked it up and handed it to her and said, "Darlin, that's a gimme," The blonde smiled and said, "Your car or mine?" OLD AGE AND TREACHERY WILL OVERCOME SKILL AND YOUTHFUL VITALITY EVERY TIME!!! August 13 Off to the Races Well its Monday evening and im packing for my trip. We leave tomorrow for Toronto and on thursday we go to Detroit and the Nascar weekend.
My brother was down from Sasktoon on the weekend and shingled my house. It was quit the work party We had 2 of his friends here to help as well and my sister and her husband. Carol cooked a turkey on Saturday for Cassidy's birthday. We had a house full that evening. On Sunday after the shingling was complete i brbqed steaks and we had garlic bread, with baked potatoes and salad. Oh it was Our anniversary on Sunday as well. 32 Years and counting.
