Ready To Sleep In My Own Bed...
We woke up to a light frost on the roofs here this morning in Western Missouri.
There's a busy day ahead for everyone packing the Turbo Pup's lockers and sea chests into the Chrysler 300 in preparation of making the first leg of our journey over to Paducah, Kentucky by mid afternoon, then on back to the banks of the Mighty Tennessee River on Thursday morning.
Pat's been able to spend a week with a daughter and two soon-to-be grown granddaughters and I've made some substantial headway on the professional front and all and all I'd have to declare this to have been a successful trip...assuming that we have a safe return journey over the upcoming 725 miles of interstate highway insanity.
I still haven't had time to come up with anything creative to say regarding the stuffed shirts up in Washington DC or the other world insanities going on which hasn't already been said on FOX News or talk radio, but it's been sort of nice to act like most "regular" Americans and be so distracted I don't have a clue what's going on.
I'm sure that by Friday or Saturday I'll have developed another full "head" of steam and be spouting off about something that's making my head spin at "orbital rotational velocity."
In the mean time wish us a safe trip and continue to feel free to entertain yourselves...
if you will...
Regards Y'all

A Basement Without Internet
Is a Dungeon...
You can probably tell that I've not had much time or energy to write anything here on the blog the past few days during the daylight hours.
Thus since I only have sporatic wireless capability that makes the signal come and go with the phases of the moon and some sort of other mystical phenomena, night time blogging is virtually impossible.
I've had to just learn to live with only two or three hours of Internet...it's been a rather cathartic, soul cleansing experience.
I have a sales meeting with the local production facility for a international plastics products company later this afternoon regarding an enterprise which I still don't feel at liberty to discuss here on the blog, then we head back toward the banks of the Mighty Tennessee River tomorrow stopping overnight in the metropolis of Paducah, Kentucky overnight.
Time to go now and finish my sales outline I guess.
Will someone find me something in the news to be mad about in the mean time?

Weekend Overload
Kansas City Rockin'
If you didn't have to work or spend time mowing the lawn...Man you should have been out here in Kansas City this weekend.
This place was rocking.
Besides the American Royal BBQ event, the city also hosted the NASCAR race and the NFL home football game on Sunday.
Giant crowds everywhere but where we were because other than the Royal BBQ the members of our extended household managed to stay safely away in the KC suburb of Liberty, MO.
On the college football front I was happy to see Georgia Tech beat Mississippi State and Auburn stomped on Tennessee (thus keeping things a little quieter when we return to the Turbo Pup Compound.)
So now there's a little professional business to take care of over the next couple of days as we continue to enjoy fall in the Midwest, then back toward the east on Wednesday.
I'll try to catch up on the news this morning and see if I can find something to complain about here on the Internet.

Oh By The Way...
In Other News...Remember This promise???
Yes?
Well...take a look at the reality:

and I guess that it's OK that they just keep on keeping on?
Hittin' The "Reset Button"
Maybe He Pushed It Too Hard...
After hacking into a neighbor's unsecured wireless network (the home we're staying in has wired Internet) I've been spazing most of mid-day today watching some training DVD's and not living on the Internet as I usually do.
Regardless, I had to chuckle when I skipped over to Drudge Report and learned that Rio de Janeiro beat out Japan, Madrid, and Chicago to host the 2016 Olympics.
You see, I'm not just happy (or maybe just not unhappy) about the defeat because Obama and his fellow ChicagoPolitical Democratic Thugs Obamamaniacs had spent a zillion dollars of taxpayer money on their bid...seeing the President make a personal appearance in support of the effort.
No, I'm happy to see a City/County in South America get the Olympics on the Continent for the VERY FIRST TIME and further...
if you read the fine print it's going to SAVE all of us American TAXPAYERS tens of zillions of dollars because in reality the City of Chicago is NEARLY BROKE and was counting on Obama to toss "stimulus funds" in their direction to pay for new stadiums and parks and bridges.
I personally lived through the Atlanta Olympic bid process in the late 1980's and saw the results of the infighting, political double dealing, and outright theft that occurred in my City by the time the actual Games arrived in the summer of 1996. I was so enthused I LEFT TOWN and didn't manage to make or spend a single dime on the Olympics or Olympics paraphernalia.
And then there were all of the rumors of insider dealings already underway giving away political favors and government funding to people inside the White House to do things like renovate dilapidated housing or even build new housing for Olympic athletes which would be turned over to private citizens or companies when the games were over (see Napolitano, Janet.)
When it's all said and done, I believe in all seriousness that it's a GOOD THING Chicago's Olympics Bid ended up "going south", as I resist wanting to drop onto the ground laughing hysterically at yet another event showing our dictator/terrorist butt kissing President/Savior what "TALKING" and "ENGAGING" and "APOLOGIZING" for things we as a country haven't done to the world over the past 223 years gets him and more importantly...
gets US...
YOU and ME as American citizens and taxpayers.
That would be N O T H I N G...
N A D A
Z E R O
Z I L C H.
All of his smiling and romancing and proclaiming he's a different kind of president in charge of a country that has learned our lesson couldn't save an Olympic bid any more than it's going to stop the Koreans or Iranians from building warheads and loaning them to the next wild eyed virgin seeker with a few million of al Queda's cash in their backpack.
Got my point?
Now it's time to watch some more videos I guess

On The Road Again
Low Battery Limits Blogging...
Disagreeable weather today will delay our departure on the second leg of our cross country trip.
An then my ignoring an ongoing power adapter plug problem on the old HP laptop has me sitting here typing with one hand while I hold the power cable with the other.
Feel free to read a few stories of ratbastard Democratic insanity on Drudgereport and then raise heck in the manner you would expect me to in the mean time
