Good morning crew,

I had a relaxing and uneventful weekend. And despite my best effort I even managed to get some work done.

I went downtown on Saturday to do a little barbecuing with old Mason and his wife. It rained most of the day, but by a small stroke of good luck we had a one hour window of relatively good weather during which we were able to throw 30 or so chicken wings and a pound of shrimp-ka-bobs on the grill. Fortunately you don't need good weather to drink beer, so the rest of the night wasn't a waste either.

Sunday I spent goofing around with my brothers, and on Monday I had almost accomplished wasting the entire weekend when the girlfriend came over and guilt-tripped me into doing some work.

I have had the condo on the market for a couple weeks now, and there are (were) still a couple little projects that needed to be addressed; like gluing down a loose tile in the laundry room and touching up some paint work. Projects so small and simple they're easy to forget about.

But it's the little details that will turn off a potential buyer. And if anyone ever decides to look at the place at least now I'll be ready!

Laugh it up,

Joe

A man goes to the doctor with a swollen foot. After a careful examination, the doctor gives the man a pill big enough to choke a horse.

"I'll be right back with some water," the doctor tells him.

The doctor has been gone a while and the man loses patience. He hobbles out to the drinking fountain, forces the pill down his throat and gobbles down water until the pill clears his throat. He hobbles back into the examining room.

Just then the doctor comes back with a bucket of warm water. "Ok, after the tablet dissolves, soak that foot for about 20 minutes."

Longtime friends were celebrating their 50th anniversary. One of their sons gave a loving toast, finishing with, "and thank you for having such a beautiful marriage."

"Thank you for making it necessary," the father joked.

In the silence that followed, his wife whispered, "Not him. He's the second son."
