    I never play either. I have purchased some pretty cool fishing tackle with all the "dollars" I've saved over the years.

    I was once standing in line at a party store. The guy in front of me was purchasing lottery tickets (maybe 20 bucks worth). I asked him if he ever won anything. He tells me "No, but you can't win if you don't play".
    Yup, I've heard that excuse used before I said. Here is one for you that you probably have not heard. Take that 20 bucks and ask for two 10's, give me one and slide the other in your pocket. I'll kick you in the nether region as hard as I can. When you pick yourself up off the floor you will have the same feeling in your stomach as you would tomorrow after the drawing BUT, you have 10 more bucks in your pocket!!!!! He pondered that one for awhile!

    Feel free to use that analogy. I made it up on the spot but have used it dozens of times since then. The funny thing I see with the lottery is this: A vast majority of the people that purchase tickets (sometimes daily) cannot afford to purchase them. Their money would be better used or spent if they saved it! Imagine what they could or would have if they would not have squandered it away. What a shame.

    I took seven 2x4 fluorescent lights, the kind that go it drop ceilings, out of my work shop and replaced them with led's. If anybody wants them they can have them and the bulbs. I have a bunch more bulbs that go with them, too. Might even have a few extra fixtures hiding around here somewhere that you can have as well.

    Today I was going from the barn to the house and my chocolate lab, Knucklehead, walks by with a full grown cucumber in his mouth trailing about three feet of vine behind. He laid down in the yard and ate the whole thing. He likes asparagus and green beans, too, but hasn't learned how to pick those.

    Yeah I'm here......funny thing about forums, either its super chatty or no one has much to say.

    Sometimes you log on and nothing has been added to a topic you are following and sometimes you're 2-3 pages behind.

    Steve,
    My Friday trip didn't pan out. I still have to check my schedule however as I may have missed something I was "supposed" to do at work!

    Busy day.
    Loaded up all the tools in my enclosed work trailer and hauled it to the next job site. Came home loaded all scaffolding, planks, picks, ladders, sawhorses and cut board on flatbed trailer ready for Monday.
    Cleaned up the weedy areas around the homestead, cleaned out fire pit then filled it with scrap wood and lit it.

    Ready for fishing tomorrow, my new order of case plastics arrived today, so those and slab sauce will be on the fish’s menu.

    Stupid political add: one of our candidates for governor talking about the conditions of the states roads and their affect on our cars-"I've replaced this windshield twice already this year". What do potholes have to do with broken windshields?

    Rant over.
