Why don't they make adult underwear like this? I would sport these all the time.

Finding this will make you pucker....

Two nights ago I went to refill the salt in our water softener. When I was finished filling it I tried to manually start the cycle, but it wouldn't start. Over to the breaker box I go. At first glance I notice that none of the breakers are tripped, so I start flipping them. Still nothing. Well I'm kind of at a loss at this point so I decide to take the cover off of the box for a closer look. I quickly learn a couple very important electrical lessons.

1. If you can "hear" electricity, that's bad.

2. If you are planning on working on an electrical box, take your phone out of your pocket and take it off of "vibrate" mode. A badly timed phone call from Mindy took a year off of my life. I'm not an easily scared guy, but if my bladder had been full before the call, I would now be telling you about yet another rule: Don't stand in a puddle and work on anything electrical.

3. If you have experienced both lesson 1 and 2 you flip the main breaker and don't take any chances.

That's when I found this breaker. Somehow it had failed, melted a couple wires and the breaker above it. In fact there is residue from the "spark" up the side of breakers filling the six spaces above it. So today I will be putting on my electricians hat and digging in to replace all of the affected, or just plain old breakers.

Young Buck.... Old Bitch

Hahaha! Sorry, I just couldn't resist!

Announcing the Arrival of Touche'!!

We have a new member of the family! Touche' is a miniature goldendoodle, which means he is half golden retriever and half miniature poodle. He is 6 months old and weighs in at 32 pounds. He should stay right around this weight and size give or take a couple of pounds. So far so good on the potty training! I'll keep my fingers crossed if Touche' can keep his legs crossed!

In my opinion My kids are better than yours

It's the first one.....

Hello Blog world. I just wanted to express my thanks to all who might find this (as if there are a lot of people out there who look for the rantings of a regular joe) for taking the time to read about my insignificant thoughts and opinions as well as the rest of what ever may end up on here.
