I have no idea where I am
Why is it that in the winter I can't find any Defeet Wool-e-ator socks but the shops are well stocked with summer socks ? Of course, come springtime, there will be ample supply of wool socks and no air-e-ators.

My neighbor lured a fox into the back of her truck with Dog food. She thought it was a stray dog. The thing **** and pissed all over everything when she closed the gate on it. WTF?

Why do dogs get mad when you blow in their face, but the first thing they do when they get in a car is stick their head out the window?

It used to be that I got home from work and the only thing I'd want to put in my mouth was the cold barrel of my grandfather's shotgun. Then I discovered Sonia Allison's Chicken Tetrazzini, and now there are two things.
Happy Birthday MMike!

You're licensed?? Congrats!

That plane is awesome.
I need more flight hours. Things aren't automatic for me yet. I want to try a Cessna 120 next. Depending on the weather I will be flying from Canadaigua NY to Columbus Ohio next week in a Cessna 140. The Columbus facility has a simulator I can practice on @ $189.50/hr. I need 6 hours, A TSA background check, and another Radio class.

I got really nervous when I learned that the Tower guy was in in Nashua NH and he was telling me what to do in New York State. I almost lost my **** flying into a lake squall, but I pulled it out....

So I drove 60 miles to look at a house in the old first ward in Buffalo. I had a 11:am appointment. I left after a hour and a half wait. I was pissed and called her boss. He shows up an hour later. He pretended to know things for about a hour.

and you thought you had a bad day

On a trail run with the Berkeley Labs Running Club (BLRC) during lunch, this conversation ensued:
BLRC guy1: "ok were at the turn around, let's take a quick break for water."
IN2P guy: "guys, I Need 2 Poo, be right back."
BLRC1: "Thanks for sharing, be quick. "
(30 seconds or so later)
IN2P:"fast enough?"
BLRC guy2: "what did you wipe with, the mud?"
IN2P: "no man, I used one of those bushes over there" (points to bush)
Todd: (pointing) "dude you mean THAT bush, with the rounded leaves that look kinda oily and shiny, and sorta flecked with red and yellow?"
IN2P: "well duh, ya they're everywhere."
Todd: "dude that's Poison Oak..."
BLRC (all together): "oh man you're F-ed..."
