I have a spare tire to fit a Mack truck!!

Hi Joe:
Just for the record please read the following before you go any further.

Summer officially kicks off today, with the summer solstice marking the longest day of the year on June 20, at least in the Northern Hemisphere. Yes, its July 16th. So what, write your own story.

This year's summer solstice takes place a day earlier than it's been for the past three years, due to the fact that leap year-day-February-29-calendar-cultures-science, 2012 is a leap year.

That will explain why my spring training has gone all to hell. I am trying to rejuvenate my self to the former glory I once was. Not that it matters but I need to explain it some how. Besides my age I am also fighting a friend called gravity. Its responsible for a lot of sagging parts, which I need to firm up.

Not a pretty picture is it. Don’t think anything other than loose fitting boxer shorts or else if you try to see a person in a swimmers Speedo, you will hurl your lunch. We now pause for that thought to work thru your system and wait to see if your food stays put. (30 seconds should be enough).

I have wanted to ride my “Beemer” for some time now and I need to get in shape to enjoy it more. This bike is meant for a younger body which will take the harsh ride and narrow seat. When I ride I am sure people must wonder why I have 2 sets of saddle bags on the bike. Serious rider with a lot of clothes?.

Walking and playing with the kids is low impact and not too bad, so I need to step it up a notch. I am using my son’s mountain bike with 18 gears in any fashion you want, from real slow to hard core. The seat is harder than the Beemer and it tests all my athletic parts, it needs a fatter seat, softer and wider-wider.

I went for a short ride and I was done, all body parts went on strike and I had to push the bike home for a block. I didn’t know so many parts could hurt at the same time. Going downhill is easy, up hill,.. not!!. To say I had an after glow after the pain went away would describe it right on the button.

Maybe a stationary bike and vibrating recliner would suit my purpose until I got up to speed. Too much hockey, malted beverages and those darn pepperettes. Man, tell you what I have a spare tire to fit a Mack truck. Time to lose that puppy.

All this exercise has made me tired, so bye for now Joe, its 9:30 am, in the cave and I hear my chair calling me. A short nap will help I am sure, unless the misses catches me and its over. Life is grand, ain’t it ?? .!!

Update on the Cavemen!!.

Dear Joe;

Just a quick update to let you know the Cavemen are all well and feeling much better. As you know, “duh Leafs” had decided to go out early and start to work at greener pastures such as the garden centers and golf greens to pay back the ticket purchases we spent on their dismal performance this year.

We decided at our “playoff” meeting to let the men wear whatever jersey they wanted and cheer for what ever team as long as we agreed to watch the same game. Its like a city hall meeting; motions suggested, finger motions on disagreements and a general discord on the whole meeting.

Should a dead lock occur: a innocent bystander would break the tie, more on this later.

The cave is slowly returning to its old routines, cleanup, purchase more snacks and certain beverages and on the weekends we allow a strong mixture of “juice” since most of us have the time off.

The wife keeps asking what the noise is about and the neighbors still go to bed early and we are thinking of putting up a flashing neon to announce “game time”, so all doubt is removed about what is going on.

We thought of holding a short meeting to agree on what game to watch. In order to make up our minds, the TV is on the “Tree house Channel” so the intent is, to make up our minds in a hurry or else you watch “the Wiggles” or something.

Don’t you just love democracy in action, even at the “cave level mentality”, you just can’t escape politics in your life any where. I wonder if you can make money been a political person??. That will require a factious study to find that out.?? (is that a word) ??

So, we have a new mascot in the house now, a kitten. She looks a “Tampa Bay Panther” well black and white anyway. One of the kids had a birthday and guess what he wanted, “a pet”. Picture enclosed.

The neighbors were offering all of their pets to us,…….hum, mighty nice of them. But, in the end a kitten was chosen. I think the tank full of exotic fish was a sure winner, at least you have a different snack each day, as in the movie” A Fish called Wanda”.

So, it will be interesting to see who ends up in the final, finals and then we can wager our monies to see who gets what. The winner if he wishes can buy a “jug” and then celebrate the winner, (of the jug) as the game and purpose of it will be forgotten. We are such simple stones, as the cavemen.

How we manage to keep the world on its feet, is feat in its self, never mind trying to balance all the changes that occur. Well, lets hope our kids will be able to make sense of it, we want to keep our shit simple. Amen

p.s. we sure hope that Ottawa stays in it. !!!!!
p.s. with the Senators gone......hum,a meeting to be called ,maybe during another game??.

See you later Joe,

Duh caveman.
