Good morning crew,

The weather is getting nutty again. Last night it was in the 40s and drizzling. As the night wore on and the temperature dropped the drizzle slowly turned to sleet which eventually froze everything solid.

When I went out to my truck this morning it was 18 degrees and I couldn't budge any of the doors. I called the office to tell them I would be late and the boss suggested that alcohol might melt the ice. I wasn't about to start chipping away at my paint job with an ice scraper, so I tried it.

I doubt dribbling alcohol all over the door frame loosened the ice much. It was more likely me tugging repeatedly on the handle that eventually got the door open. I only wish I hadn't blown a half a bottle of good scotch on the experiment.

Laugh it up,

Joe

The summer after college graduation, I was living at home, fishing in the daytime, spending nights with my friends--generally just hanging out. One afternoon my grandfather, who never went to college, stopped by.

Concerned with how I was spending my time, he asked about my future plans. I told him I was in no hurry to tie myself down to a career.

"Well," he replied, "you better start thinking about it. You'll be thirty before you know it."

"But I'm closer to twenty than to thirty," I protested. "I won't be thirty for eight more years."

"I see," he said, smiling. "And when will you be 20 again?"

My wife and I were going through a rough patch financially, but we kept ourselves same by repeating, "As long as we have each other, we don't need anything else."

But when the television in our bedroom broke and we couldn't afford to repair or replace it, my wife lost it.

"That's just great!" she shouted. "Now there's no entertainment in our bedroom at all!"
