AMAZINGLY SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES

1.. AVOID CUTTING YOURSELF WHEN SLICING VEGETABLES BY GETTING SOMEONE ELSE TO HOLD THE VEGETABLES WHILE YOU CHOP.


2. AVOID ARGUMENTS WITH THE FEMALES ABOUT LIFTING THE TOILET SEAT BY USING THE SINK.


3. FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE SUFFERERS ~ SIMPLY CUT YOURSELF AND BLEED FOR A FEW MINUTES, THUS REDUCING THE PRESSURE ON YOUR VEINS. REMEMBER TO USE A TIMER.


4. A MOUSE TRAP PLACED ON TOP OF YOUR ALARM CLOCK WILL PREVENT YOU FROM ROLLING OVER AND GOING BACK TO SLEEP AFTER YOU HIT THE SNOOZE BUTTON.


5. IF YOU HAVE A BAD COUGH, TAKE A LARGE DOSE OF LAXATIVES. THEN YOU’LL BE AFRAID TO COUGH.


6. YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN’T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN’T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.


7. IF YOU CAN’T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU’VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.


DAILY THOUGHT:

SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES - NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS.

Thanks Shannon


I would like to thank my daughter Shannon.


She is updating and adding some things to my blog today.


So, take a closer look at the right side and see what is new.


And as always, I hope you enjoy reading my blog and keeping up with my adventures "Around The World In a Daze"...

New Home for SNOOPY

I got a call from the airport manager at St Charles County Airport last Saturday.

He wanted to know if I still wanted a hanger.

YES!!!!!!

So, when I get home this Saturday I will get SNOOPY moved into a nice cool dry (if it doesn't flood again) place to call home.

So, next Monday and Tuesday, I will be moving all my airport "stuff" from the house to the hanger which will now be called the "DOG HOUSE".

Still sitting in recurrent.

Recurrent Training

Flew "SNOOPY" to Ypsilanti, MI yesterday to attend Recurrent Ground School this week.

5 hours and 1 fuel stop was all it took. Filed IFR (Instrument Fligh Rules) on a fairly clear day.

"SNOOPY" got his new wheel pants installed Sunday morning. Will take pictures and post later.

But my son-in-law did a fantastic job of repairing and painting the wheel pants. When I post the pictures, you need to guess which one had a 2 inch diameter hole in the very front.

Used about 5 gallons per hour, at a cruise ground speed of 105 mph.

Later....

Back home..

Got back home Wednesday night. But was sick Thursday morning. So, I didn't get much done Thursday.

But this morning, mowed the lawn, got the Cessna 150 it's IFR certification for the next 2 years. Planned for my flight in the Cessna to Detroit and Sunday.

Went to the pool supply shop and got some lights for the pool. Took Susan for a standard doctors appt. Got keys made for the Cessna. Went to South County Mall and got some new Croc sandels, and Susan got make-up. Got propane for the grill. Stopped at Costco for dog food, milk, etc. Went to Borders for a couple of books.

Finally got home and ate dinner and went swimming (night swim). New lights were neat. Will try and take some pictures tomorrow night, and post later.

Back in the USA....

We got back into JFK this afternoon.

Nothing much else happening for now.

Hopefully scheduling will let me go home a day or two early.

I have ground school next week. So it would be great to have an extra day or two at home instead of just sitting in New York on reserve for the next three days.
