Denise, did you go back to fill doctor? Are you feeling any better? Hi Everyone, very tired, started at 4:00 am with a 8 mile 30 min. stationary bike ride. Then after work jogged 3 miles followed by 5 mile walk at 4 mph. Not quite the intensity I had planned, I gave up too soon. I will try to do better tomorrow! Good Night All, JC

Way to Go BG!!!! great run! Ok I started my day with 8 miles in 30 minutes on the stationary bike. Then after work I jogged 3 miles and walked an additional 5miles at a 4 mile an hour pace. I am disappointed Iwill try harder tomorrow. I am such a slacker! I really had a different plan than what I ended up with. I gave up too easy. JC

JC's launch into redneck stardom. I went to bed early one Friday night in anticipation of catching a wall mount worthy large mouth bass. My boat hooked to my truck, every last little thing required to do battle on the lake was either in the boat or truck. It was a rare night of peacefull sleep, no one calling, no knocking on the door, just absolute peace. I woke up at 4:55 a.m. on que five minutes before my alarm clock as I often do, I posses an amazing internal alarm clock. The sounds I heard were magical although somewhat disappointing. Light drops of rain hitting the roof dripping off leaves, pooling on the ground with a very soothing rythmn. There was no anger, I made a quick assesment, this sounded like a long set in soak. This rain should be embraced this is sleep all day long rain, almost as good as fish all day sun! Back to sleep I went. Then a new sound was introduced to my senses a train, not any old train a steam driven honest to God locomotive and it was headed straight for me RUNNNNNN! My instincts leap into action I jumped to my feet and started to sprint to the other side of the house. My house at the time was my family home, I purchased it from my surviving siblings after the deaths of my Father then youngest sister. I Dad had this house built in the 1940's after arriving here from Kansas by way of Galveston Texas. It is a wood frame, what's referred to around here as either a cracker shack or shotgun house. There were two additions on the original house to accomodate our growing family. Hardwood floors with tongue and groove siding inside as well as out. As I sprinted towards the farthest end of the house there was a rifle shot equivalent snap, followed by an indescernable noise and finally a thunderous crash. The entire house shook echoed and vibrated violently. I made it to the kitchen with Olympic speed only to realize I should put some clothes on. I raced back to my room certain that I would be crushed and grabbed some clothes sprinting for the kitchen once again. Lightning was now introduced into the mix, just as I pulled on some clothes and opened the door a bolt exploded a branch of a Grandfather oak causing the powerline of our sentinel light to break. It was whipping and snapping in about a 30 yard radius bright electric discharge was competing with the now violent lightning. Before I could get back into what I thought was going to be a very large coffin of a house another branch broke sending the powerlines by the road down to my fence which lit up like an arc welder. Then, silence ,the long soaker rain even subsided. I started to walk back through my house to survey the damage. Then, the smell of smoke filled my lungs. Panic struck me, the house is on fire! What are the most important things to grab? Run! Just Run grab and go grab and GO! I flew out the door looking for signs of smoke and fire looking for a water hose what the Hell is going on? Then, silence, as if nothing ever happened, the house didn't appear to be on fire. There was however what looked like a giant oak tree hand grasping the roof, after a closer look I realized that this limb which was the size of a fully mature oak tree had lined up perfectly with both of the chimneys in the house. There were only small holes broken through the roof deck and the old house was still standing proud. In the distance I heard sirens and a lot of them they were getting louder and louder apparently the people living in the trailer park down the hill from my house didn't fare so good. No one was injured but there was a lot of structural damage. The news media arrived at my place about two hours after the incident. They took pictures of the Giant limb interviewed me about the incident. You know come to think of it they did not run much of the audio from my answer when the cameraman said you look a little shook up, were you scared?. After they left I looked around the yard, looked at the old house, then a thought hit me, I am going to be on TV! What am I wearing? I looked down and found nothing unusual except for one thing, and this is a public service announcement. If you are threatened by violent weather and you decide to dress yourself before escaping, IT DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE TO PUT ON A PAIR OF FREAKIN SOCKS!!! DO YOU UNDERSTAND? The time you waste putting ona PAIR OF SOCKS!!! COULD COST YOU YOUR LIFE!!!!!!! WTF??????? Aside from all that it was really no big deal and definately not the reason why I don't sleep good at night. BG, I never slack off at work! Just thought I would send a quick little note.

yes what a ride I will have to tell about in detail funny story

Right down from croomacoohee some pronounce it Groom a cooche. You had to know I was living close to some kind of COOCHEE!!! I have to get ready for work. C-ya

And I have been on wfla channel 8 describing the tornado that hit my house.

That happens across the street from where I am living right now, whenever the Withlacoochee river swells out of it's banks.

I wonder if B, is swimming. Dallas got swamped yesterday.

I am sure it was no trouble getting knocked up

I am sure you never gave your parents a bit of trouble.....ever!

I will never forget the ass whuppin I toted for my crayon masterpiece in our living room when I was about 2 or 3, we artists are so misunderstood! lol

BG is a valley sailor

That is funny! I imagined you blowing a Class 5 Ass gasket, Funny funny funny.

Kinda can't wait to see how close I am. Which reminds me of something. What in the heck did your kids get into in that myspace pic? It looks like they destroyed your living room.

I just thought of something funny. I have assigned a different voice and mannerisms to each of you.

An 11 year old Michigan boy kicked a home invader's ass. Michigan must rock.

I have floated that idea to a few people.

Two of them are the reason why I don't get to go on vacation very often.

I must have hired some of your co-worker's relatives. Is common sense dead? Sorry you have to put with id10ts. Just saw that Kevin Everett (Buffalo Bills) may never walk again.

I need to put pressure on my mechanic to finish my darn truck. been without it for a few weeks now.

BG, that is a great point! Just freaking out because I am plus 10 pounds since going to the hospital 6 weeks ago. I just finished a 30 minute 8 mile stationary bike ride! What a way to start the day.

I feel I have no restriction, but have nothing to complain about because I still have my band. I just don't think I can tough it out another 6 weeks at this level.

D, sorry to hear about your DD's problems. I wish I lived close by so I could help. I can be very intimidating when I want to be. My son was having problems at the local bowling alley. I found from a friend of his. I showed up for a bit and now they treat him like he is king shit!

D that is kick ass! How is your knee? You may reach modified Japanese mach 3 Biker Bitch Badass status before I do!!! B, how ya doing. Been quiet over there.

BG, you have a good point I should start supporting another team. I should have my ass kicked for even watching the Bucs. I swore them off when they started cutting people like John Lynch. HP, we had Tony first, give him back! LOL
