Good morning, everyone.
I'm off to my friend's for a BBQ (expecting 30ish people! eeek!). I'm making cucumber salad & my Mom baked up a storm yesterday (yes, I'm spoiled). I just hope the weather holds & we have a nice sunny afternoon.
Quincy's staying home to guard the place. Lily's spending time with my folks (apparently I don't feed her ).
Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Hi Everyone!
Got back around 1 am this morning. Wow, I really lucked out weatherwise (thanks for your prayers Andi!) There was no rain whatsoever, even though the weatherman scared the heck out of me with all the talk of thunder boomers on Thursday etc!! Our camp site was really nice with privacy and a 5 minute walk to the beach. The water looked sooo nice yesterday I really hated to leave!!! wish I could go back for a week (or two!!!), but now the ex is on and school starts back shortly, damn summer goes sooo fast!!!! Stayed on the beach until 9 p.m. on Thurs and bar be 'd dinner. Yesterday spent the day at the beach in Grand Bend and had pizza on the beach before having to leave I really am a suck when it comes to leaving nice places!
Good luck with the weather for your friend's bar-be today Andi. They are saying rain later on but hopefully it will just be a scare like it was for me!
Good luck Mizzsazzyazz on your ski doo race!
Gotta go have a sauna and stuff - talk to you all later!

Remember it takes a college degree to fly a plane, but only a high school diploma to fix one; a reassurance to those of us who fly routinely in our jobs. After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a ‘gripe sheet,’ which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.
Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by UPS ‘ pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers.
By the way, UPS is the only major airline that has never, ever, had an accident.
P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
*
P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.

P: Something loose in cockpit
S: Something tightened in cockpit
*

S: Live bugs on back-order.
*
P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute Descent
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.
*

S: Evidence removed.
*

S: DME volume set to more believable level.
*

S: That’s what friction locks are for.
*
P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.
*
P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you’re right.
*
P: Number 3 engine missing.

There are some days when my PC really pisses me off and this joke always comes to mind
Bill Gates dies and goes to hell.
Satan greets him: “Welcome Mr. Gates, we’ve been waiting for you. This will be your home for all eternity. You’ve been selfish, greedy and a big liar all your life. Now, since you’ve got me in a good mood, I’ll be generous and give you a choice of three places in which you’ll be locked up forever.”
Satan takes Bill to a huge lake of fire in which millions of poor souls are tormented and tortured.
He then takes him to a massive coliseum where thousands of people are chased about and devoured by starving lions.
Finally, he takes Bill to a tiny room in which there is a Beautiful young blonde with an alluring look on her face, sitting at a table on which there is a bottle of the finest wine. To Bill’s delight, he sees a PC in the corner. Without hesitation, Bill says, “I’ll take this option.”
“Fine,” says Satan, allowing Bill to enter the room. Satan locks the room after Bill. As he turns around, he bumps into Lucifer.
“That was Bill Gates!” cried Lucifer. “Why did you give him the best place of all!”
“That’s what everyone thinks,” snickered Satan. “The bottle has a hole in it and the girl hasn’t…”
“What about the PC?”
“It’s got Windows 95!” laughed Satan. “And it’s missing three keys.”
“Which three?”
“Control, Alt and Delete.”
