I hope all you fathers out there are having a great Father's Day! One of my
daughters is in West Virginia, the other is at Nags Head, NC, and the wife is in
Boca Raton, Florida, at her nephew's wedding. That means I'm all alone and get
to do exactly what I want to. I got to prune bushes and trees and not once hear
the wife tell me not to cut too much! Oh happy day!

Happy Father's Day back atcha!

I had breakfast in bed, made deviled eggs with my daughter, went to the
beach with the dogs (and kids), had a lobster, shrimp, and crab dinner, and
just to keep it on topic, we finished by showing my son the boat we intend
to buy. And to top it off, when my wife asked when I was going to paint the
house I told her I wasn't because I was going to be on the water with my son
every week to make sure we get our money's worth out of the boat.

Have or hope ya'll had a good Father's Day.

Can't believe your wife would even *mention* house painting on Father's Day! You
should a' shipped her to Florida.

Sounds like you had a great day otherwise. Glad to hear it!

Got a call from Number 1 daughter while just waking up. They got a new dog
yesterday, so were up early. Only bad part of the day. Other daughter
caller at a more reasonable time. Their gift did not arrive yet, so
Father's day is continued until UPS arrives. Thought of taking the boat
out, but cool and breezy, so went up to Mt. Diable State Park and did some
hiking. Wife gave me a gift certificate for 45 laps in a rent a race car at
the local 1/2 mile oval. Life is good. Did have to buy a new battery and
tach for the boat yesterday. Figured the batter was crap and did not last
long. Was a 2001 battery and ran low on water. So that was acceptable.

LOL, one of my two adopted granddaughters was on the computer last
night and kept telling me not to peek. Today she showed me her work.
Four pieces of paper, about the size of newspaper coupons.
One read:
"This Coupon is worth - One Free Car Wash - Expires June 27, 2005"
Two read:
"This Coupon is worth - - One free home-cooked meal"
the fourth read:
"This Coupon is worth 10 minutes of Piano Practice"

Best presents I've ever received.
Eddie

Very cool! I still have a 'coupon' for an 'auto detailing' (that means wash and
vacuum) from when my daughter was 16. She's 28 now, and I've yet to be able to
redeem it!

Sounds pretty normal for the battery. The 45 laps sounds great! A brother of
mine got a free 'flying lesson' up in the Seattle area. That sounded like
something I'd enjoy also.

Years ago, I got an hour in a 707 simulator. Very cool. The old Western
Airlines sim.

This was a few years ago - pre 9/11 - but my oldest boy showed up at
the door with four of his buddies in tow, kidnapped me and the next
thing I knew, I'm in a jump suit, parachute on my back and sitting in
the rear seat of a F/A 18 Hornet trainer doing loops, spins, barrel
rolls and play "dog fighting" out past Martha's Vineyard.

I've ridden around Talladega in a Plymouth Super Bird at 190 mph, but
this was - well, it's hard to describe. Super, outstanding, superior
- just can't describe the feeling. It was almost as much fun as
landing on a carrier in a COD.

I had the pleasure of an OV-10 Bronco ride for a few hours in Vietnam. That
wouldn't compare to an F-18 though!

You'll get your carrier landing when you get elected. Just hang in there.
