The pick-up artist...not

The other day, I was walking around the hospital with my work partner and our foreman. We were going from building to building, taking our locks off switchgear, so that it could be energized again. As we walked down the street, I caught sight of an attractive young woman across the road. She was walking at a brisk pace, and with a gait that made her breasts bounce under her white blouse. She was quite alluring. I elbowed my partner to share the sight, and he said "I'm way ahead of you, Carter". She quickly passed out of view as we continued to the next building.

Ten minutes, and three locks later, we were returning to the main hospital building, and I saw the same woman approaching us. As she drew closer, I could see that she was very attractive, and I thought I'd say something witty. "You must have walked around the block, because we saw you on the other street earlier." was rewared with a dismissive snort as she passed me.

The three of us walked about 10 paces, when my partner dropped the hammer, "Damn, Carter, no wonder you can't get a woman, if that's your idea of a pick-up line".

After work beer

I stopped off at my favorite watering hole after work tonight. I was (am) in a pretty good mood. Well there was a fella playing some electronic gambling game, that was for real money. He had put in a ten dollar bill, and had worked it up to over 300 bucks. He was very excited, bragging, etc. Over the course of evening, while I sipped my Bud Lights (plural), I saw him go up and down, dropping as low as 200, then back up to 300 again. Finally, I ordered some food, and I checked up on him again, and he was at 100. I suggested that he set a lower limit, and he said that it was set at 50, that he'd quit if he got there. Next time I looked, he was at 23 cents. He went to the ATM to get some more money. I saw him put in at least 40 dollars, and again, I saw he was up to $50, but did he quit and take the money? Nope. He ended up finishing with 43 cents, angry, and quiet.

So they say slot machines won't have a negative impact in Ohio....

Family Dinner

My sister, her husband, and their baby girl, Molly came up from Florida to visit. We had a nice meal at Red Robin, met the other side of the family, and laughed and joked the entire time.

Whining about a speeding ticket

Last Sunday morning, around 11:00 am, I got pulled over for speeding. The officer told me I was doing 75 in a 65 zone, but he wrote the ticket for 75 in a 60. The worst thing is that he's with NOPD! My own hometown! Don't I pay enough taxes to the city? I can see generating revenue by tickets from outside the city, but not someone who lives here. Oh well. Next time the F.O.P. comes calling asking for donations, I'll say I donated to the city instead.

Second Post

Now I'll upload a picture from my computer, to see how it looks. This is my 2006 Harley-Davidson 1200 Sportster.

I thought I'd start off easy, play with the settings, templates, etc, and get a feel for blogger.com
