When Black Friday comes.
We got in our 90 minute HIT session yesterday without a hitch, prepping for the main event meal to follow. The skies have cleared up substantially this morning calling me for a run in the park, but as I was up till 2:30 last night, did the 60 HIT class this morning at 0530 and my stomach is feeling a touch, shall we say, over extended, I am going to pass, for now. Maybe a rally this afternoon before the matinee screening of The Road. Which, from what I have read so far this one is going to be a must see for Cormac McCarthy fans, you know, violent, bloody, bleak, stark and graphic. I am half way through Suttree at present and I will say that it is a tough read. But Cormac has such a gift for descriptive prose that it is impossible to put down, despite the setting, story and general stench in which the characters (and I mean characters) struggle to survive. A common CMaC theme.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. It is Apple Cup (UW vs Washington State) week here in the GPNW (Great Pacific Northwest), and RG (Dad) and I were taking pot shots at the poor Cougars last night over spaghetti and tempranillo.
"Why did Wazzo put in Astroturf"?
"To keep the cheerleaders from grazing".
Here are a couple of interesting CT related links you might enjoy. The first from a new user, Tech-Tri documenting set up and use (including RCV Lake Placid), and a check in visit of our old buddy the DC Rainmaker. Both are excellent reading for the CT/RCV user.
Wait, today is Black Friday and I'm not asking you to buy anything? I must be getting soft.

The table is set. Just add food.

So glad it was a success, great pics. Still snickering about your joke. . . And I REALLY need a set up like that guy has. That's pretty sweet.
Bubba had been attending WSU for 6 years and still did not have enough credits to graduate. At the commencement ceremony, the entire student body began chanting, "Let Bubba graduate, Let Bubba graduate!" The Pullman president decided that if Bubba could answer a one question exam, he would graduate. The president said, "You have one chance, Bubba, what is 9x9"? Bubba beamed and blurted out 81. A stunned silence followed. Then the whole crowd yelled, "Give him another chance! Give him another chance!"
And it IS a sweet set up, no doubt.
Hhhha!! I grew up southwest of Pullman, so this is funnier than you may know!! :)
3 students from Wazzu were in the park and they saw some tracks on the ground. They were guessing what they were from. One guy said that they were bear tracks, another guy said that they were racoon tracks, and the last guy said that they were oppossum tracks. Then a train came and they were all hit.
More! More!
Bubba, the Cougar linebacker and his new wife Darlene were driving to their honeymoon in Moscow. Bubba reached over and placed his hand on Darlene's knee. Darlene said "Bubba, you can go further if you'd like!" So Bubba drove to Boise.
OMGoodness, I'm loving these!!
A pretty blonde woman from the U of W is driving down a country road near Pullman in her new sports car when something goes wrong with the car and it breaks down. Luckily, she happens to be near a farmhouse. She goes up to the farmhouse and knocks on the door. When the farmer answers, she says to him, "Oh, it's Sunday night and my car broke down! I don't know what to do! Can I stay here for the night until tomorrow when I can get some help?
"Well," drawls the farmer, "you can stay here, but I don't want you messin' with my sons Jed and Luke, they are studying for their finals over at WSU. She looks through the screen door and sees two young men standing behind the farmer. She judges them to be in the early twenties.
"Okay," she says.
After they have gone to bed for the night the woman begins to think about the two Cougs in the room next to her. They are not too bright it seems, but they are so handsome. So she quietly goes into their room and says, "Boys, how would you like for me to teach you the ways of the world?"
They say, "Huh?"
She says, "The only thing is, I don't want to get pregnant, so you have to wear these rubbers." She puts them on the boys, and the three of them go at it all night long.
Four years later Jed and Luke are sitting on the front porch, rocking back and forth. Thinking about their day off from the new McDonald's in Colfax.
Jed says, "Luke?"
Luke says, "Yeah, Jed?"
Jed says, "You remember that blond woman that came by here about four years ago and showed us the ways of the world?"
"Yeah," says Luke, "I remember."
"Well, do you care if she gets pregnant?" asks Jed.
"Nope," says Luke, "I reckon not."
"Me, neither," says Jed, "Let's take these things off."
After all jokes are delivered (in good fun) TODAY is the day that we make sure that we're not left (again) thinking that the joke is on us! Go Dawgs.
