My buddy Kyle and I are taking a road trip to New Orleans. I know that it is way after Mardi Gras, but a little down time in the French Quarter will be good for us anyway. We also plan on a fishing trip in the Gulf while we are down there. That, in fact, is the main reason for the trip. Deep sea fishing for the win! I plan on bringing back a lot of fish for a big fish fry. Woot!
BBQ
Went to a BBQ today at a friends house. Decided to leave early when a couple of people had a little too much to drink. I love BBQ’s but much prefer if people handle their alcohol better then they did today. Must be close to a full moon or somthing. People tend to act a little crazy when the full moon gets close. Anyway, I am out for the rest of the day. Have a good one!
Money for Melons
I read a news article today that really blew me away. It turns out that the Japanese city Yubari is famous for growing a variety of called Yabari King Melons. The melons are only grown in that city and there is a limited supply.
Typically the melons are sold in pairs that are perfectly matched. Recently, one pair was sold for about $26,000 thousand dollars. I sure hope that melon was good.
An exercise in exercise
With the summer months coming soon, it’s time to start thinking about how I will look at the beach. The winter was good to me but I managed to put on a few pounds. It’s time to start working it off, but I believe I need a little help. That’s why I turned to the internet to find the motivation I need. I was lucky to find a site that would help me do a 90 Day Review of my body to find the areas I wanted to work on most.
After thinking about what my goals would be, I decided that having the perfect Beach Body is what I wanted. I knew it would be a lot of work and that I would have to struggle through the hard times to reach the goals I set for myself. I am sure I can do it though as I have a lot of willpower and some aces up my sleeve.
One thing I was interested in was the Extreme Body Workout. I thought I could handle it and that it would be a quick way to get in shape. I guess time will tell but for now, it will have to do. I believe it’s time to get out from behind this computer and to start getting in shape. This is a guest post provided by Fitness Alliance.
St Patrick’s Day
It was one heck of a parade we saw yesterday. We went to Norfolk, Virginia to see the annual parade they have there. I had a great time watching all the bands and people going by. My favorites were the little cars that do tricks as they go by and the baton twirlers. . It was a great day.
We met some friends of mine while we were there and we all ganged up together and had quite a time. We went to the park afterwards and had a grand cookout. I love holidays like this and it was well worth all the time.
Snacks for all
The super bowl is finally here. I have invited some of my closest friends over to watch the game with me. I have several that have already said they will attend. We plan to have plenty of food ready for everyone. I know they will enjoy that.
The game is always great and the half-time show should be enjoyable as well. It is always a good time for all. My house will be full and it is great to have company. This is a great land.
Kitchens and guests
Our house does many things for us. We never seem to notice all the things we do at home. Of course it’s where we sleep, but it is also where we entertain ourselves and others. You never know who may drop in for a visit. We had an unexpected visitor the other day. John was a former employee of mine and he brought his wife Mary Beth. They were back in town and I was glad to see them as John and I were very good friends for a long time.
Anyway, it was up to us to whip up some dinner. As we didn’t know what our guests would like, we hinted around as to what they wanted. It was then that I wished I had bought a spice rack to see what kind of meal would be best to prepare. There is nothing better than a large selection of choices when it comes to cooking. I had seen some nice kitchen spice racks for sale on the internet and I wish I had them now. They are great kitchen utensils.
The moral of the story is that we now have some wonderful spice racks in our home. The next time we have guests, we will be prepared for them. I wish everything was this easy.
Tuna pays big
The Japanese has always been known for their love of a great tasting fish. This was once again made true by the actions of one Japanese restaurateur. He paid a record amount of money for one blue fin tuna that cost him about $736,000 dollars. He had the winning bid at an auction at the Tsukiji fish market.
The owner of the restaurant paid the record breaking price saying that he wanted his customers to enjoy the fish. These fish are ready to be put on the endangered species list and are on the verge of being fished to extinction. I hope his customers enjoy the meal.
Staying slim and fit
One thing we love to do around our house is to eat. It seems that every time I go into the kitchen, somebody is cooking something up. While it seems a good idea at the time, I have found that we are all eating too much. The problem is that this leads to my families overall weight problem. Everyone in our family has always been on the heavy side and it’s a constant battle to stay slim.
Luckily, there is a solution to this problem. There is a product called Herbalife that can help you shed the extra pounds that are put on. There are many other extra benefits to this product as well. It can help you increase your energy levels as well as help reduce the stress that comes with daily life. I have tried this product and have been very happy with it.
The answer to this type of problem is simple. All you have to do is to find your local Herbalife Distributor. The good news is that there are Herbalife Distributors all over the country so it’s easy to find one near you. I really believe that taking care of your body is a key to a happy healthy life. I believe that everyone should consider giving this product a try.
Clean It or Cover It Up
My brother was living large last year and bought a pool for his back yard in August. They got a couple moths use out of it before it got too cold to swim in the afternoons, and they eventually drained it for the winter, pretty much forgetting about it until now that the temperatures have started climbing.
He’s never had a pool before, so I guess he was surprised when he went to fill it up with water this weekend and realized that he had to clean it out first. I tell you what, cleaning out a pool that was not covered over the winter is a nasty, exhausting job. I’ve helped friends back in the college days do that and I had a vested interest in getting the pool clean – so we could have a wild college pool party.
When he told me how hard he had to work at cleaning the pool, I flat out told him to start pricing pool covers so he doesn’t have to go through all that again next year. It is a matter of covering it up or cleaning it – you are going to pay one way or the other, by spending two days scrubbing and cleaning or by spending a little money on a cover. Shouldn’t take a rocket scientist which way to go on that one.
