 Last few weeks have been BUSY!   Caged a few thousand miles...... done a lot of riding! Back in May I bought season tickets for the New Orleans Saints.   My nephew is a hard core fan as is much of the Gulf Coast where we have our second home.  Last year he got an email that he was finally eligible to purchase some season tickets after a ten year wait .. but he declined.  When I heard of that I busted his balls but he rightfully pointed out he wasn't in the current financial position to execute on them.  I gave him a lil shit like "too bad you don't know anyone that is?" ...  Well, this past May .. he got another email, forwarded it to me . and ... .here we are.  Probably not the smartest thing to do in my life, but ..... lets live it!  Got 4 season tickets for home games at the Superdome, lower section near the 45 yard line.  AWESOME seats with simple access to the concession stands (full bar directly behind us) and restrooms. Score!    Brandy w/ 2L8s cut Well, we ro

Insurance options

 Over the years, I've wrote about Life Insurance several times.  My biggest pet peeve is that folks don't do the f'n minimal to take care of their loved ones if they die from an accident or natural causes.  Especially ... self induced accidents (ex. Motorcycle at high speed). But... something happened last week that got me to thinking about the other .. insurances. If you have a family ... people.... that depend on your income.. livelihood....   think about the options you NEED to have in place. Medical Insurance is the most obvious.  Most of us do.  If it's inadequate... or non-existent... FIX it.  I'm not an expert here, but the bottom line is ... if shit goes south, we find ourselves in a hospital for an extended stay .. and we have folks that depend on that paycheck of ours......   you'd better have a plan in place!!!!   I'm seeing a situation now that has me cringing.. shook to the core...   with a family .. a new born in the mix.. and the dad, is in a

Birthday in Palm Springs....

 Well, that was a new adventure for me.   Wife and Daughter have done Palm Springs for girl weeks, but my first time here.  Needed a place to meet up with our daughter and her fiancée.  Needed  a place we could bring Peanut.  A place where they could bring their dogs.  Mama recommended Palm Springs, so I'm in!    One could probably argue it was the wrong time of the year... but... it worked! Twenty hour drive in Big'Un, with a stop near the NM/AZ border for the night and we're there!    Really wasn't too bad.  We drove to San Diego this past December and this was a notch shorter.   By the early afternoon of Day 2, we're rolling in an hour or so before my daughter got there.  Her fiancée would roll in later that evening.   We've prearranged for groceries to show up and hour after we do, so that evening, I've got the grill going and kicking out some juicy burgers.  Score!   Lil time around the pool, catching up .. and .... I'm beat.  'Nite! Next day wi
