Change Your Life?

An avid sportsman and hunter, Tim decided to tie the knot with his longtime girlfriend.

One evening, not long after the honeymoon, he was getting his equipment ready for an upcoming hunting trip. His wife was standing there at the bench watching him.

After a long period of silence, she finally said, “Honey, I’ve been thinking, now that we’re married I think it’s time you quit hunting, shooting, hand-loading, and fishing. Maybe you should sell your guns and boat.”

Tim had a horrified look on his face.

She asked him, “Darling, what’s wrong?”

Tim replied cautiously, “You were beginning to sound like my ex-wife.”

“Ex wife!” she screamed, “I didn’t know you were married before!”

“I wasn’t,” Tim replied.

RV Video-Walkthrough Drinking Game

If you happen to find yourself watching video walkthroughs of assorted RVs, perhaps this will kick up the entertainment factor a bit. Select a suitable beverage, start up a walkthrough video, and immediately prepare yourself to take a swig every time somebody:

  • pounds their fist on any part of the RV
  • makes any sexist remarks — for example, “mom will love this kitchen.”
  • refers to a water heater as a “hot water heater”
  • makes any reference to watching “the game”

Oh, there are more, but we’ll just start with those.

Can’t Leave Well-Enough Alone…

I’m one of those people who give nicknames to vehicles.

I had an old 1983 sedan that we named Christine because of all manner of strangeness with the engine.

My motorcycle is named “The Wee Star“.

My last Chevy truck — a 4×4 with no muffler and a big 350ci V8 — Beast.

The Pathfinder, because it actually pulled all of the things that I’ve asked it to: “The Little Pathfinder That Could”. Though it’s short name is Twuck.

Daisy asked yesterday if we should name the new truck.

“I suppose.”

“What should we name it?”

I thought for a moment, “UPGRAYEDD!”

“Spelled thusly. With two D’s, for a double-dose of his pimping.”

For those that don’t quite grok the reference, please see the movie, Idiocracy.

Interwebbing is Hard!

You wouldn’t know that I’ve been involved in technology in one way or another for the last 30+ years: I’ve just recently discovered the little Google Followers Stalkers gadget/widget for Blogger.

And what’s really depressing is that now that I’ve turned it on, it appears that I have gained, uh… let’s see here… one follower.

That’s funny right there.

So, for Eastern Iowa Firearms Training, thanks for the hat-tip. If I ever find myself out that way, there’s probably going to be a range day involved.

For everyone else, welcome to the random and mostly sanitized thoughts that rattle around in my head. Feel free to hit the Join This Site button in the righthand sidebar.

Also, as an aside, if I were to actually click that link myself, it would:

  • technically double my registered readership
  • be a bit like high-fiving myself in public; much the same way as Liking one’s own post on Facebook.

Yeah, I’m kinda strange that way.
