when it rains....

Like gets interesting.
a couple of weeks ago my Bronco was making all sorts of vibrations. The way it was acting i thought it was the transmission. Took it to have it checked out and I was told that maybe the tranny was going out on me. Took it in for a second opinion and the transmission shop came up with something else. Not the tranny. Maybe ujoints in the drive line. He just called and couldnt get it to mimic whats going on.
So Im borrowing Mitches little car, and the other night i started to smell something hot. The windshield would instantly fog, and the check coolant light came on. Got a quart of coolant at the gas station, 6 bucks, put it in and the light went out. But no heat. Parked in the drive way and woke up the next morning and puddles under the car. Put stop leak in it, so far so good.
yesterday the garage door spring broke. and i have a bad tooth.
OH FUN!!!!

decided to go fishing today







well, viewing anyway.
took chuck to the hatchery and did some walking around. There were steelhead from 18-32 inches. Sure gave me the itch to go fishing. But it dosnt look like its going to happen this year.

People can always waste time people watching.

Sometimes Karen and I will be sitting somewhere waiting for something, and 'people watch'. We see two people interact and then try to guess the scenario behind their being where they are now. This practice is usually more fun when the two are totally different. Like an old, well dressed man, accompanied by a buxom girl, with 4" spike heels, and a short red dress. But this is too obviously a man treating his granddaughter to coffee. The photo above is a little more complicated; we can't imagine what this beautiful girl and her brothers are doing with this Bracero! I mean, can it really be like my favorite movie, Beverly Hills Chihuahua.

You've heard of dumb criminals? How about this.

 GOP Rep. Christopher Lee, that’s the guy in the news Wednesday that sent a photo image of himself to a lady he met through Craigs list. When she found out he was married, she turned him in.

I don’t know about you, but human nature never ceases to amaze me. Sorry for the cliche, but it fits perfectly! This is why I’m intrigued by the study of humans; on one hand, they can be so stupid, on the other, they can be incredibly brilliant. Some times they can be both at the same time!   

Here’s a man who has everything, but he gambles it for some kind of fantasy going on between his ears.

But this is old news, we hear of pastors, politicians, powerful business men, who have everything you and I only dream about. But they sell their souls for a bit of pleasure.

Women aren’t exempt from all this either. How many teachers have we read about that sacrifice their entire careers, some, even their families. Only God knows what they get out of it.

Oh, and don’t think that brains are a safety net in all this; Einstein, John Kennedy, and a more recent President were all philanderers.

All this has got to be related to that scripture that describes ‘the mystery of iniquity’ (2Thess2.7) Then the Apostle Paul in another place talks about ‘the law of sin and death’ (Romans 7) that wants to find expression in him.

Lord, deliver us from ourselves!

watch how you step

went up wentworth springs road to hit icehouse. got as far as uncle toms cabin, but the snow got to deep. Decided to get out and take a walk. Jack didnt fair so well.
It was a beautiful day up there. Wish the Bronco was a little more capable. I was by myself so i didnt attempt to go any farther.
