ALMOST FORGOT...........MY NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION

Damn, February 21st already and I almost forgot about my New Year's resolution. How embarrassing. Guess I better get to work on it before this year gets the better of me and I just have to carry it over to next year. First thing is I need some kind of a plan.


Was it the garage cleaning or washing my face each day? AH! what the hell, I already washed my face today, better check out the garage cleaning.


Well, I have the plan now so......................................



2/22 0800 up and at tum. Get my coffee going and bring it out to the garage to look over the things to be done.



0830 first thing, get the cars out of the garage and onto the driveway.



0845 coffee finished, better get another cup



0900 back out to the garage and I think I will start over at the workbench. Thing to do here is separate all these little cans of nuts, bolts, nails etc into cans of their own for easy locating in the future. Throw out the bent nails and screws etc.



1000 well, that's done.....next is to move some of this old lumber outside into the trash pile



1030 OH! there's the mailman, better get the mail. "Hi, Steve, how u doin today"



1100 well, now that talking with Steve is over better get the mail inside. "Hi Kay, how are you today, how's the family" "picking up your mail, just a minute I'll get it for you"



1145 she's a nice lady, now, where's that mail, oh! here on the trunk of the car. I'll just get it inside.



1147 "got the mail, Margot, I see lunch is ready. I'll just have lunch now and continue my garage cleaning after"


1245 now that lunch is finished, let me just check the news on TV.



1315 OK, just want to close my eyes for 15 minutes



1500 that was a nice little nap. Think I will just go up to the barber and get a trim.



"Margot, why are the garage doors open and the cars in the driveway" " I started to do what" well it's to late to continue now, guess it can wait for another day.


------------another day-------------------



well now, where did I leave off in getting this garage shaped up ? OK, I remember. OH! here comes the mailman. "Hi Steve, how u doin?" what? almost lunch time already?



************************************************************************************

Sometimes, I feel myself wondering off mentally. Margot calls it day dreaming. I call it getting my thoughts together. I find that asking myself questions just induces the brain to start working. Guess the only thing left now is to get the correct answers. Just wondering if it's only me or have you found yourself asking questions on matters that really don't mean anything. I started to think one day about the weirdest of topics.

Do birds close their eyes when they sleep?


If birds find a worm that they don't like the taste of, do they spit it out?


When bears begin to hibernate in the winter, do they wake up if they have to go to the bathroom, or do they just do it while they hibernate? Who cleans up the mess in the spring?


Why does a white chicken lay a brown egg?


Why are cowboys called cowboys? I never saw them ride a cow.


Border Collies are known for herding, why then don't we just call them Herding Collies?


If a hair stylist styles hair why do we call a hair cutter a barber?


Now, I am sure that there are so many questions left in life to be answered. Why is life so complicated?
