Windy day

It is another windy day, in more than one way if you catch my drift.

Actually, you should you don't catch my drift.

This is Thursday and the wind is again blowing like an April day. We had some shingles blow off our house last night, found them in the front yard this morning. Now I will have to haul my bootie up on the roof and fix it.

That is scary. A mechanic and carpenter are two things that I am not at this time, have never been or planned to be.

I can jump a battery and pump gas. That's about the extent of my automotive abilities. In carpentry work, my projects usually wind up worse than they were before I started them.

We had to make a quick trip to Wal-Mart last night. As usual, there were the usual interesting displays of people. We walked in and right to the left was this enormous woman sitting on one of the benches, making it bow in the middle.

I immediately went to the electronics, of course. Got a chance to play the x-Box 360 game Call to Duty and wiped out several Krauts. Shot one good enough his helmet went flying off about 10 feet or so.

As we were leaving, we got in the express lane. There was a family ahead of us. Man, woman and two kids. As the mother turned around, I noticed her tee-shirt said: SPANK ME!

I guess it's a good thing the little squirts weren't old enough to read, but still it made me wonder just how good of a mother she was to wear a shirt like that out in public. I didn't see anybody take her up on it.

Starting tomorrow, the offical Craigman Diet for 2006 starts. Yes, I should have done this already, but I never got around to doing it. So far, we have no sponsors. If you want your business name in this (for example: The Craigman Diet for 2006 sponsored by Bubba's BBQ!), I will be happy to negotiate a price on this. Be sure and bring your checkbook!

In conjunction with the diet, I am going to try and raise money for my favorite charity. If you want to help keep me motivated and raise money for a deserving charity, send me your pledge per pound to thecraigman2003@yahoo.com

I will keep everybody motivated on this fine blog daily with an update and maybe even a spreadsheet. The goal is to lose down to 180 pounds. So if you pledge a dollar per pound and I lose 36 pounds, that's just $36. You aren't limited to a dollar, so give freely.

By the way, the charity I am raising money for is the Craig Fund. You can help me raise money for such deserving causes as buying new camera equipment and to feed my family!

I thank everybody in advance for helping this truly worthwhile cause. Remember a giving reader is a true friend! Plus you, yes you, can help me be more healthy!

Wow! I have goosebumps!

Looks like we might soon have puppies again. Daisy got in heat again before we could get Buddy fixed and I have verified reports this morning that they are making puppies.

We still have two from the last bout. I hate to do this to the little fellow, but Buddy is fixing to be absent two of his body parts.

Enough for now! I look forward to hearing from you concerning your pledge.
