Folks, my brain cells are depleted so I found this story from 2015 back when we had giant lizards in the house and I used to have to go buy crickets to feed them.

I know you are tired of hearing these stories, so you may not want to read any further. 

The things I am still learning in my sixties, just amaze me. For instance, crickets don’t chirp until they reach a certain age. Now that the lizards are bigger I order the bigger (older) crickets, and so they all chirp. The other thing is they can throw their chirp so when they get out in the house they are extremely hard to locate. 

When you have several crickets around the house it makes it very challenging to keep the wife content. I have suggested she have a glass of wine so as not to be annoyed by the sound. She suggested...oh that is right, this is a PG blog. I can’t print what she suggested.

Well it seems Cooper is much more talented than I thought. I mean, the dog is smart. He obeys commands and minds real well. I have seen him do amazing things. When we play fetch, I have seen him use his front paw to push the ball sideways just to prolong the game. Well now I found out he has done the impossible. According to my son, he is the one who has been opening the pineapple cans and eating the fruit and then hiding the cans around the yard and house. The other day I opened up the freezer to find a tub of ice cream open with the spoon still in it. According to my son it was Cooper and not him. All those cans behind the air conditioner outside, it turns out it was Cooper all along. I guess I am thankful to find out my son wasn’t the culprit, so now I will make the can opener cabinet dog proof and order a whole case of pineapple.

I just had my 20,000 mile maintenance check on my Electric Mustang. Electric cars don’t have radiators, nor do they have distributors or spark plugs. They don’t have transmissions, nor do they have oil to change. They don’t have exhaust systems or catalytic converters. They really don’t have anything to maintain. Yet, when I bought my car the salesperson wore me down to get the extended maintenance program. After 3 hours in the room I was so exhausted I gave in and said, I will take it.

So today, do you know what they did for maintenance? The poor mechanic had to check the air in all 4 tires, and the poor guy had to check the windshield wiper fluid.  Should I have tipped him?
