We wouldn't act like this now would we??

I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump. I ran over and said: "Stop. Don't do it.""Why shouldn't I?" he asked."Well, there's so much to live for!""Like what?""Are you religious?"He said, "Yes."I said, "Me too. Are you Christian or Buddhist?""Christian.""Me too. Are you Catholic or Protestant?""Protestant.""Me too. Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?""Baptist.""Wow. Me too. Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the Lord?""Baptist Church of God.""Me too. Are you original Baptist Church of God, or are you Reformed Baptist Church of God?""Reformed Baptist Church of God.""Me too. Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1915?"He said: "Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1915."I said: "Die, heretic scum," and pushed him off.
This is a little over the top I know, But...... how many times do our attitudes push our brother off the bridge??? Food for thought :-)

To Dad

I miss you...... I wouldn't wish you back from where you are today, but there is some thing in me that wishes you could see my children and do Grandpa things with them. I used to tell you that I wanted to be a carpenter and build you a house when I grew up. Well Dad, I'm a carpenter now and I fix lots of peoples houses including yours. I know the house you're in now will never need fixing.....wow!!!
I wish I had spent more time with you while you were here. The thing I remember most about you from the last few years of your life was the way you never complained about your disability and accepted God's plan for your life. Thank-you ......... I miss you Dad but I am looking forward to spending lots of time with you later........... Enjoy your rest Dad. I love you!!

Weekend at the Museum

Our Museum had its 18th annual Antique farm machinery and threshing show this weekend. We were there yesterday and today, The kids had a ball with their friends and we had fun watching and visiting. Oh and the Prime Rib, Burgers, Homemade Pie,& Ice cream were a hit as well!!! Heere are some pics of some old machines. For some reason I didn't get pics of the threshing-- maybe next year.

Our neighbors Clydesdales

The kids on "their" tractors. My favorite is the IH Super A, it's one of the first tractors I drove and one that my Grandpa farmed with. The two tractors above are also ones that Grandpa farmed with.

This is an attention getter--A home-made "three wheeler"

The kids thought this School Bus was pretty cool.

Hmmm

It was a rainy day today. This is what I found to amuse myself. The first one cracked me up and the second, well..... I have not had to give up my firstborn yet, but the last time I filled the work truck it was $100.00 I asked the cashier if they offered financing. I don't think she thought it was that funny :-) Earlier we had filled at the Cenex C-store and we ( my bro. and I) decided we wanted coffee. Coffee is free when you buy gas. We go up to pay and the guy says... you only get one cup free with a gas purchase (they sell these cups for under a buck) I kind of snorted and said ... Oh, I thought for $90 maybe I got a free case of pop. Once again I don't think it was that funny to him. He was a good natured chap though.

I must ramble on, Good Night!!

Flying by the seat of my pants

The first pic on my blog.....my rear end.........let me explain. We are putting steel on a house roof which was wet this morning,making traction a problem. I was attempting to walk down it when my foot saw the need to travel forward at a high rate of speed. The result is what you see plus the sore spot you can't, thank goodness. This is what happens when you fly by the seat of your pants and get caught on a screw!

I'm a smart guy......here's proof!

I was talking to a lady on the phone, ( one of the few surveys I have ever done) I think it was a pro life or pro choice survey. Anyway, one of the last questions was .... and what is your level of education?? After telling her there was a short pause... then ,Oh ,you sounded more educated than that. My response??? Uhhh......... Well ......I'm not dumb.
If I had only told her I had a masters in something.................

One more point that proves my inteligence............... I came up with my own joke today.... I know, I saw your jaws drop but close your mouths it doesn't look very inteligent.
