Boy I hadn't realized how long it's been since I've written in here. I guess that shows you boring my life is...LOL
There really isn't much going.Just the same old stuff.

The last couple of days have been a bit warm but we have managed to get through them.I saw that by Friday we are going to back up to 100 degrees. Now isn't that going to be fun. At least my tomatoes are enjoying the heat. LOL

Here's a pic of Quincy enjoying a nice day.

Fall is coming

The smoke has finally cleared and we got some rain.It's been a little nippy but that's okay.I like the coolness of the air.

There really isn't much going on here.It's been to wet to do any kind of yard work.I think sis is going to try and mow the yard one last time before winter sets in.And this being Montana it could be any day now...LOL Another sign of Fall is all the blackbirds.They have been here in droves raiding our feeders.And man are they noisy as hell.


Here's a joke for the day.

A Duck Walks Into A Bar...

A Duck walks into a bar and orders a beer. The barman says, "Hey, you're a duck!"

"Nothing wrong with your eyesight," observes the duck.

"Yeah, but I mean - you can TALK," says the barman.

"Guess your ears are fine too," answers the duck. "Now, can have a beer please?"

The barman serves the duck a pint and asks him, "So, what brings a duck like you to these parts?"

"Oh," says the duck, "I work on the building site across the road. We'll be here for a couple of weeks, and I'll most likely be in every lunch hour for a pint." The duck slurped down his beer, wiggling his tail happily.

The next day, just as he said, the duck waddles over from his job at the building site and has his lunch time lager.

The next week, the circus comes to town on its annual round. The Circus owner wanders in for a pint and the barman tells him about the talking duck.

"You should get this duck to join your circus," he says. "For a little consideration, I could hook you up with this duck and you could make lots of bucks. Everyone would love to see a talking duck don't you think?"

The circus man nods excitedly while sipping his beer, the barman agrees to talk to the duck about the circus.

The following day, the duck comes in at lunch time as he had been for those many days. The barman says to the duck (with dollar signs in his eyes), "You know, the circus is in town, and yesterday I was chatting to the owner about you. He's very interested in you."

"Really?" says the duck.

"Yeah. You could make a lot of money there. I can fix it up for you easily."

"Hang on," said the duck. "You did say a CIRCUS, didn't you?"

"That's right."

"That's one of those big tent things, isn't it? With a big pole in the middle?"

"Yeah!"

"That's canvas, isn't it?" said the duck.

"Of course," replied the barman, "I can get you a job there starting tomorrow. The circus owner's dead keen on the idea."

The duck, scratching his head and looking very puzzled replied:

"But why would he want to hire a plasterer?"

Smoke filled skies

The smoke is alot thicker this morning.I can taste it and my mouth is dry.I sure hope we get some rain soon.

It has gotten so smoky here the past few days.Tonight seems to be somewhat worse then last night.I'm having a bit of trouble breathing and my nose is so stuffed up and my thoat dry.You can taste the smoke.If it's like this here I would hate to be up around Big Timber.

Really not much else is going on around here.I can't believe it's already September. Before you know it there's going to be snow on the ground and Xmas will be here.This year has gone by so far.

Cooling down

Finally we are getting some cool weather but still no rain.Okay we had a "bit" last night but I don't think the ground even got wet.Not much else is really going on around here.My cherry tomato plant is doing good.The tomatoes are staring to come in but it's going to be awhile until I can pick them.And I have one cucumber coming in on the plant. It will probably be my only cuke but that's okay.

Back in January I applied for SSI and on this last Monday they called and said I was accepted.It won't be as much as I thought but still it's better then nothing.And at least I can now apply for medicade.

This is our Chokecherry tree loaded with fruit.

Did You Get Your Case of M&M's

I was on my way to the post office to pick up my case of free M&M's, (sent to me because I forwarded their e-mail to five other people, celebrating the fact that the year 2000 is "MM" in Roman Numerals), when I ran into a friend whose neighbor, a young man, was home recovering from having been served a rat in his bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken - which is predictable, since as everyone knows, there's no actual chicken in Kentucky Fried Chicken, which is why the government made them change their name to KFC.

Anyway, one day this guy went to sleep and when he awoke he was in his bathtub and it was full of ice and he was sore all over and when he got out of the tub he realized that HIS KIDNEYS HAD BEEN STOLEN. He saw a note on his mirror that said "Call 911!" but he was afraid to use his phone because it was connected to his computer, and there was a virus on his computer that would destroy his hard drive if he opened e-mail entitled "Join the crew!" He knew it wasn't a hoax because he himself was a computer programmer who was working on software to prevent a global disaster in which all the computers get together and distribute the $250.00 Neiman-Marcus cookie recipe under the leadership of Bill Gates. (It's true- I read it all last week in a mass e-mail from BILL GATES HIMSELF, who was also promising me a free Disney World vacation and $5,000 if I would forward the e-mail to everyone I know.)

The poor man then tried to call 911 from a pay phone to report his missing kidneys, but a voice on the line first asked him to press #90, which unwittingly gave the bandit full access to the phone line at the guy's expense. Then reaching into the coin-return slot he got jabbed with an HIV-infected needle around which was wrapped around a note that said, "Welcome to the world of AIDS." Luckily he was only a few blocks from the hospital - the one where that little boy who is dying of cancer is, the one whose last wish is for everyone in the world to send him an e-mail and the American Cancer Society has agreed to pay him a nickel for every e-mail he receives. I sent him two e-mails and one of them was a bunch of x's and o's in the shape of an angel (if you get it and forward it to more than 10 people, you will have good luck but for 10 people you will only have OK luck, and if you send it to fewer than 0 people you will have BAD LUCK FOR SEVEN YEARS).

So anyway the poor guy tried to drive himself to the hospital, but on the way he noticed another car driving without its lights on. To be helpful, he flashed his lights at him and was promptly shot as part of a gang initiation.



Send THIS to all the friends who send you their junk mail and you will receive 4 green m&ms, but if you don't the owner of Proctor and Gamble will report you to his Satanist friends and you will have more bad luck: You will get cancer from the Sodium Laureth Sulfate in your shampoo, your wife will develop breast cancer from using the antiperspirant which clogs the pores under your arms, and the government will put a tax on your e-mails forever.

I know this is all true 'cause I read it on the Internet.

It's been awhile

It has been sometime since I was last in here.There really isn't anything going in my life right now.

I can't believe that Memorial Day is here.This year is going so fast.The weather is a little cool today. Low 60's with some rain and thunder boomers.I like the thunder boomers...LOL

This year I'm growing my tomatoes and cukes in pots.I had 2 tomatoes but I lost the Beefsteak but my Jubilee is doing pretty good.I also have 4 cuke plants going.They are a compact variety so I can put a couple in one pot.They are doing pretty good too.Sis has the lawn looking really good.

I hope everyone has a fun and safe weekend.
