• Today Nina and I are picking up Erin for Tori. Since her Jeep is down with tranny problems, it’s the least we could do.
• Nina and I are heading south of 40 today. Not sure where or why, but it’s an area we seem to enjoy exploring. Taking the Jeep for it’s A/C comfort. Gonna be hot today.
• More rain out here and I’m still tired of it. Monsoon season can’t end quick enough for me.
• Damn! The weatherliar just showed a map stating that we’re under a severe weather watch AGAIN. Noon until late tonight.
• August already? Really?  Oh well, my favorite season is up soon after this month is flushed down the porcelain throne. I love fall!
• I ripped the local news channel on FB the other day. They report a story and then tell us “to get more details, visit our website or KRQE News app”. My posting got a huge number of likes over a short period of time. They deleted the post.

• Nice ride to and from the dealership, but it’s raining all around us.
• Meeting was productive.
• Breakfast was more so. Bill and Rick joined me at Harry’s Roadhouse and we covered a huge range of subjects.
• I may start a breakfast ride for the H.O.G. members.

As we get closer to the 2016 election year, US citizens must remember that they cannot trust Hillary Clinton concerning American jobs.

The last time she had a meaningful job, she outsourced it to Monica Lewinsky . . . . . and Monica blew it.

• Still raining. You’d think that living in a desert, I’d appreciate all the rain we received this year, but you’d be wrong. I like getting rain over not getting rain, but enough is enough.
• I’m meeting with the realtor today. I’m hoping Keller Williams will list this place and I’m looking for some direction on pricing.
• Filled the ATM last night and since we got robbed, we’re now taking the money out of the ATM and register every night. We have the ATM loaded heavy because the welfare should hit the cards this morning.
• Damn, I love coffee in the morning!
• I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s HOG meeting. I have a lot to say tomorrow. Our director is looking for a 1 hour meeting and with what I’ve been told I doubt he’ll be happy.
• I just noticed that from the calendar to the left that I’ve posted every day this month. Sometimes I forget and miss a day or two.
• Johnson forgot to send the title to Tori’s Sportster. I called him yesterday to question him about it and I got a loud “OH SHIT, I FORGOT!” in my ear. Ed, you’re a dumb ass!
• You’d think with all the rain we’ve been having that the fire behind us would have been doused, but when I looked north after the sun was up, it’s still smoking like crazy. Andy says that it jumped the ridge that was containing it.

A closed mouth gathers no foot.

So, Erin is once again with the other people, or I suppose I should just say Will. He lives in town now and won’t let Erin stay with Belle because she’s become a raging drunk now, or so I’ve been told.

Had to get new ball joints on my Jeep and it’s taken longer than expected, so it’s still in town. Tori and I dropped it off this morning. I went for the adjustable ones.

I took several naps today. Erin spent the night recently and sleep eludes me when she’s over. Nasty kid. Catch up sleep is what I call naps now.

I finished the HOG chapter newsletter yesterday and sent it out. This one taxed me more than the rest and I’m not sure why. I enjoy doing them, but the readership is somewhat limited, 125 people.

We have elections coming up for our chapter and I’m getting ready for them. I’ve been told that no one will challenge me as editor of the newsletter, but who knows. I wouldn’t mind being the webmaster too, but I like Gilbert and if he still wants it, I’ll pass. I am the de facto photographer since no one else does it. I’m also a road captain for the chapter.

I have to make reservations for 2 nights in Ouray in September. Sometime around our anniversary I’m guessing, We’ve done it before and we like the town. Jeeping and leaving the Harley behind. Maybe a little shooting. Have Nina practicing some since it’s been a while.

Friday tomorrow. I’m hoping for a sunny Saturday so I can ride to the dealership for the monthly meeting. Breakfast with some of the other officers before the meeting and at the store @ 10:00. Should be interesting.

That’s all! Peace!

An 85 year old man had to take a sperm count for a physical exam. The doctor gave the man a jar and said, “Take this jar home and bring
back a semen sample tomorrow.” The next day the 85-year-old man
reappeared at the doctor’s office and gave him the jar, which was as clean and empty as on the previous day. The doctor asked, what happened and the man explained. “Well, doc, it’s like this–first I tried with my right hand, but nothing. Then I tried with my left hand, but still nothing. Then I asked my wife for help. She tried with her right hand, then with her left, still nothing. She tried with her mouth, first with the teeth in, then with her teeth out, still nothing. We even called up Arleen, the lady next door and she tried too, first with both hands, then an armpit, and she even tried squeezin’ it between her knees, but still nothing.” The doctor was shocked! “You asked your neighbor?” The old man replied, “Yep, none of us could get the jar open.

Erin spent the night and she kicked (literally) me out of bed at 2 a.m. I have no idea what time she crawled in with us, but I felt the foot in the middle of my back at 1:30 or so and I knew I was screwed. I gave up the fight after 30 minutes.

Old Fartz today. Not sure if I’m going or if I’m taking the bike or the Jeep. It’ll all depend on how the weather looks around 11:00. The weatherliar is promising rain with our area being placed under flood watch.

Just heard on the news that D.C. is slowly sinking into the “sea”. The news parrots word, not mine. I don’t recall that D.C. was located on a sea. Either way, I wish I could accelerate the sinking. Current estimate of it disappearing is 2100 something.

I have the H.O.G. newsletter almost finish, just waiting on some dealership stuff and Racheline has promised it today sometime. She’s become vital to the store and with David and Debby semi-MIA, she’s almost running the place.

If I don’t get the dealership stuff, I’ll put pictures of the Rough Rider Rally in the spot reserved for them. I’ll be emailing the newsletter out late this evening. I’ve already started September’s version.

Just over 2 weeks until I leave. Can’t wait, I need a break. Taking the bike if weather permits, but I may take it even if it doesn’t permit.

Just cleaned the fish tank. I think I may have lost a fish, but it was hard to tell because of decomposition of whatever was on the bottom. At first I thought it was the big fat Tiger Barb, but I was wrong. I kinda bought the tank and fish for Erin, but she lost interest quickly. I should have known better, but since I always liked having an aquarium, I was an easy sell.

• Some customer posts on FB that my ATM stole $300 from her and her friends are all piling on.
• Dealing with insurance and the petroleum equipment company via phone and email.
• I was offered a job today. I’ll be an instructor. There will be 15 days of very intensive training, all paid for by my new employer. No idea where the training will be. Last time I was told it was in Texas and the time before in Arizona, and this is the first phase of training, 10 days. The second phase is in Milwaukee and that’s for 5 days. I plan accepting when I return from MI.
• Tori’s Jeep needs a new transmission.
• Erin is spending the night. She farts.
• This can’t end soon enough.

A funeral procession pulled into a cemetery. Several carloads of family members followed a black truck towing a boat with a coffin in it.

A passer-by remarked, “That guy must have been a very avid fisherman.”

“Oh, he still is,” remarked one of the mourners. As a matter of fact, he’s headed off to the lake as soon as we bury his wife.”
