lEt ThEm bE lItTlE













Well it's Friday nite and I ain't got no - body,actually I do but she got pissed and passed out. She's not as good as she once but as good once as she ever was,lmao. We stopped at my uncle's place on our way home from work, my mom and my sister were there, T.R.O.U.B.L.E ,they were drinking beer and tequilia rose, hence Ivy passing out,lol. I finally went next door and had a visit with the monkey's. They said school was fine but were engrossed in trying to pick each other up,tough to explain but the following pictures will be self explanitory.It was hillarious, Emily could get Jordan off the ground and balance him,but he couldn't hold her. I think her big butt and being shorter, Jordan's legs were to compressed and he was unable to stretch them out,but I think it was her butt,lmao. Mandy gets pissed cause I wind them up and then go home,lmao. Joys of being a grand parent. It's funny, as I was going over the second time as I needed my camera, a song was playing on the radio, the song is titled "Let Them Be Little" by Billy Dean. If you haven't heard it, try to get a listen. I think the grand parents will appreciate it a little more as I know I do. Seems when mine were small I didn't appreciate how quickly the time passed and I now get a second chance to enjoy the unabashed enjoyment of the innocence portrayed by these two. They are my "Pot of Gold " at the end of the rainbow of life. I only spent a little time watching and yes, lifting them up on my feet, thank god for talwin's,( pain killers,lol) but I did get some super shots. Guess I'll have to post my de-balding pic's tomorrow as my photographer is upstairs sawing logs. Enjoy.p.s hey Man, you could always use my camera for halloween.

Arctic Blond, Nice Ring To It,lmao





Here we are again,one day away from the week-end,and only six more days till we are on our way to New York City. Ivy and I worked today and will again tomorrow. But then we have the week-end off. I trust the monkey's are doing fine at school as I have not seen hide nor hair of them since they started back, I hear them tho,lol.Hey Mike, the actual name of that rocket guitar is, Harmony Rocket, and the Fender is made in Mexico and from what I read on the net it is the least desired, says they use too much mass production, same with the Fenders made in Japan. I read Fender sold out in the late sixties I think. But they do still make Fender in the states. I read that the old ones are the ones sought out by collectors. As you see my de-balding is becoming a thing of the past,although I seem to have a lot more "Arctic Blond " than I did before I shaved it off. Just have to let it get to a decent length too see just how much " Arctic Blond " I really do have. It seems strange to see everyone...that doesn't color their hair,dudes included,lmao, at this stage of our lives,just how much "Arctic Blond " we all have. Its like living the story of Dorian Grey for real, we all look the same just a little more mature "physically" anyway, mentally we all think we are still teen-agers,ya right,as I hobble out of bed every morning,lmao.Here are a couple more of my toys. I had this written but something happened when I went back to allow comments ,sooooo,seeing as I can't remember what I wrote I will bid you all a Bon Nuit and try to write it again tomorrow.

Day Off











Ivy and I had the day off today,due to a lack of work. Although it rained,the day turned out not too bad. Ivy went to visit her daughter and I went to visit my cousin Herb. He called me the other day to tell me about a cruise from New York to the Barbado's in Sept. for about the same cost we are paying for our excursion to New York. I believe it is a five day cruise all inclusive for around $400. Pretty good deal. He also gave me a couple of guitars that were at his son's house. A Fender Stratocaster that has a broken neck and a semi acoustic that is split,I guess the son let his kids play with the guitars and they about ruined them. Going to see if the Fender is salvagable,but I doubt it,the neck has a nasty split in it.Probably end up being wall decorations. The de-balding saga continues,I sure hope the sparkly ends are red or blond but more likely grey,just might have stay bald,lmao. Here are the pic's of the guitars and a couple more C.N.E pic's.

Summers Over








Yes summer is over,"unofficially" anyway. That's how I used to feel back in my school days. I'm sure we have all felt those pangs of summertime blues when our parents took us to the C.N.E and you just knew that dreaded day was not too far off. Funny how some feelings never go away. Ivy and I did make it to the C.N.E and I now remember why it has been soooo many years since I've been. Besides that old feeling of anxst, the crowds were crazy. I guess with the last two days having rained everyone waited till to-day. We did a ton of walking and did take in some of the air show, but next time I am going to borrow my moms handicap sticker and my fathers electric scooter,woo hoo, with Ivy on the back we'll tackle the C.N.E next year prepared,lmao. Seriously,other than the fudge Ivy bought and the air show,the exibition just isn't what it used to be OR,more likely I'm not who I used to be. Getting too old for all the walking,too impatiant for the line ups for parking,eating, etc. While we were in Toronto we went to visit Lacey and Kevin and the kids. I had spoke to Lacey earlier and she invited us over after we finished at the Ex. Turns out they factored us in for dinner, very, very, nice of them. Going to pay them back next week-end. The " de- balding " is coming along, even tho I missed last nites pic's. Not quite to the ghia pet stage,but close. Here are some of the pictures I took at the Ex.Have a great nite.:)

Day 3



What a crappy day,but I guess we needed the rain by the color of the grass. Should have the rain Monday to Friday and then sunny and warm for the week-end. Going to go to the C.N.E Monday if the rain keeps up tomorrow. Going to Las Vegas for a week in October,can't wait. This is one of the things I promised myself when I retired. Going to try for Hawaii next year. My on-going de-balding is coming along slowly. The velcro thing is still happening and will for a day or two more. Posting a couple of pic's but there is little the camera can see,its more of a feel than a see right now. My mom hates the bald look, says there is something wrong when someone who has hair shaves it off. She just noticed that "There Is Something Wrong",lmfao. Well thats all the drivel I can come up with for tonight.Tata
