What did the strawberry ever do to anyone? Why can't it just be left alone? Is there some Frankenstein experiment funded with bail out money to mutilate the strawberry and conjoin it with some other fruit that can't stand on it's own. Strawberry kiwi, Strawberry banana, Strawberry rhubarb, Strawberry mango, Strawberry guava the list goes on. It's like the Strawberry is the bacon of the fruit world. "Bananas aren't sellin Bob." "Put some strawberries in with them. Strawberries make everything better."
Don't like kiwi throw some strawberries in there, instant good.
Don't like hot dogs wrap some bacon around it, instant good.
Must be why bacon and strawberries get top billing. Don't go there...
The comprehensive list of ingredients that strawberries can be combined with RUM, chocolate, cream and sugar.

My kingdom for a..
spare? Once again out and about with the K-5. Went shooting with a friend. Knowing I didn't have a spare we threw his spare, from a 89 Chevy truck, in the back. On the way out we're feeling a vibration. We pull over and do a look see, nothing. Continuing on our marry way we turn off onto a dirt road and meander down some washes.
We oxidize nitrates and after a couple of hours look the K-5 over and head for home. Meandering back out the wash and dirt road. Safely back to the main road how lucky is that. The vibration is back so I betting it's the front right tire. We decide to pull over into the covenant landfill 4 lanes wide no traffic, Sunday. I start to get the k-5 jacked up while Mark loosens the lug nuts. Then Murphy shows up. I have six lugs the spare from Marks truck is for five lugs.
Plan B there are several tire places in Buckeye we'll take it slow and hit one of those for a replacement. We get to the corner of AZ 85 and MC85 and the tire pops.
Plan C, AAA to the rescue. Turns out we we're about 1/2 a mile from one of the tire shops. If you don't have AAA I highly recommend them.
I did get to see an accident while waiting for the tow truck driver. We're about 50 yards from a light. Traffic is stopped and this Red Ford Dually is slowing but not enough to stop before rear ending a stopped vehicle. After they hit I see the guys head in the truck pop up. He must have been reaching for something on the floor.

Well that was easy,,,
Have a renter for the CG house. Got the name of an agent that specializes in rental properties from my real estate guy. Signed the listing contract Saturday. Signed the rental agreement today. They move in April first (hmmm... I think a signed contract trumps April fools day).
So today at work one of the forklift drivers hit a guard rail and set the truck alarm off. They couldn't get the alarm reset. So they have the front end opened up and one of the control boxes in the lift is "gforce", go figure.
Bathroom is still green.

Classic dad "We don't paint."
The following is a letter dad wrote to his employer that had him paint a fence with his friend/co-worker. Apparently they didn't like painting. After some research and a couple days the recipient realized that he'd been had.

Dear Mr. N.,
Our law firm represents the interests of Mr. H. R. Greenlaw, who resides at 11329 North Robin Street, Mesa, AZ.
On or about the eleventh of May this year, Mr. Greenlaw had opportunity to contact some painters who identified
themselves to be employees of your company. At the time these persons were applying light cream colored paint to
a stucco fence on a property on Nora Drive, adjacent to our client's property. Mr. Greenlaw owns a 1993 Lexus
G-30. The vehicle is black and maintained in showroom condition. At the present time there are thousands of light
cream colored spots on three sides and the top of the vehicle. Mr. Greenlaw requests that you provide the labor
and materials to return his vehicle to the showroom condition that he normally maintains. In addition he requests
a modest sum of money to compensate for the inconvenience and embarrassment that he has suffered at the hands of
your obviously negligent employees. The small sum of thirty thousand dollars is considered by Mr. Greenlaw and
our firm to be adequate at this time.
We look forward to hearing from you, or your bank within the next ten days.
Thank you.
