Joke of the Day:
Bedtime Prayers

Two young boys were spending the night at their grandparents.

At bedtime, the two boys knelt beside their beds to say their prayers when the youngest one began praying at the top of his lungs. "I PRAY FOR A NEW BICYCLE... I PRAY FOR A NEW NINTENDO... I PRAY FOR A NEW VCR..."

His older brother leaned over and nudged the younger brother and said, "Why are you shouting your prayers? God isn't deaf."

To which the little brother replied, "No, but Gramma is”

What was the last movie you watched and how was it? Condemned (2015) Not good.

Do you like Shakespeare? But I haven't read him in a long time. Even with the goodreads celebrating his work, I haven't been motivated to pick anything up.

What is the last book you liked reading? Death Match by Lincoln Child; I have 50 pages to go but took a break that should have only lasted 5 minutes. That was more than 40 minutes ago.

Today’s Questions:
So far how has 2016 been for you? We almost lost my SIL to a stroke but other than that, okay.

What projects if any do you have planned for this year? I just finished a 200cc scooter for my grand son's birthday this month so suppose I should start thinking about getting back to my ugly Ford 8n tractor. It's just difficult considering putting a $1000 worth of tires on a $600 tractor.

What vacations if any do you have planned for this year? Nothing planned except to get over to my grand daughter's HS graduation next month at Albuquerque. She's also supposed to play lead guitar in a concert I want to see.

What is the last fun thing you did? Fun? What's that?

What is the last hard thing you did? Removed and replaced a rear tire on a motorscooter. Ever tried to air up a new 8" tubeless tire? My local tire change guy said, "Don't bring that thing to me."


Extra Credit Questions
When you rather have black or red licorice? Love 'em both.
Would you rather listen to guitar or piano? Love 'em both. Wish I could play a keyboard.
Would you rather sing or read in public? I'd better stick to reading.
Would you rather be a catcher or be in the outfield?
Would you rather remodel your bathroom of kitchen? Kitchen cabinets are fun but then so are bathtubs.
Would you rather have a pantry in your kitchen or an island? We have both at the farm house and we like them both.
Would you rather go to an opera or watch a ballet? Can I just cut my throat?

Would you rather do a jigsaw puzzle or a crossword?
Would you rather go to India or Spain?
Would you rather play tennis or volleyball?
Would you rather go grocery shopping or clothes shopping? Can I just cut my throat, again?
Would you rather pineapple or cantaloupe? Can I have both?



Bonus Questions...Today is a good day so let’s talk about it
Do you like zucchini bread? Yes.

What is the last thing you did that was risky? Trying to play ZZ Top?

When is the last time you were in a lab? I spent half my college life in laboratories (studying and teaching). After going to work for the USDA, I worked in an entomology lab early on and visited several USDA labs during my work with the agency. I think the last actual laboratory I was physically inside was USDA's Screwworm lab in south Texas or maybe the Cotton Research lab at Lubbock.

What kind of dance would you like to learn how to do? Waltz. Tough one.

Do you like dogs? Any favorite breeds? I love dogs. Any of them.

What was the last movie you watched and how was it? I really cannot remember but it was probably something on YouTube.

Do you like Shakespeare? Not especially but I do have a couple of old books of his sonnets.

What is the last book you liked reading? I usually can't sit through an entire book any more so it's been a long time.
