      Hey Brent, good idea...."Indeed baby steps on this on Coltman51!!!" Don't believe me, Just ask actor Bill Murray in "What About Bob?" Watch this YouTube link:

      Just stay off the elevator man...HA! HA!

      At this moment life is good - smoker going, ribs are in, fish is marinating and waiting to be smoked and Coors Light in hand. Under control!

      The storms and thunder you heard was really from part of Greenwood south. Strange moving storms....we got mostly rain and wind...just south had ,25 hail and uprooted trees.

  6. Doctors' Law - If you don't feel well, make an appointment to go to the doctor, by the time you get there you'll feel better.. But don't make an appointment, and you'll stay sick

      Same thing with Blood Pressure. It is guaranteend to be high after you have had weeks of 124/78!! Thanks for the Laws Coltman51....amazing how spot on they were...get in the pool for me today!!!

    3. southwest1

      southwest1

      The same philosophy works for a strange engine sound in your car. Cancel your appointment & your car will sound like it's on it's last leg, but drive it in & have the mechanic look at it & your car will roar & purr like you are about to race her at the Indianapolis 500.

    4. alawai

      Yes you'll feel better after arriving, look at all the patients sitting in the waiting room! Yes it's crowded and they look sicker than you! Yesterday I witnessed the "Rule of the Locker room", yup only two guys there and we both had a locker next to each other.

  7. Oliver's Law of Public Speaking-A closed mouth gathers no feet.

    1. Gramz
    2. MAC

      MAC

      Which suggests that if you only "put your foot in it" occasionally, it would be wise to check for "moss" first.

  9. Murphy's Law of Lockers- If there are only 2 people in a locker room, they will have adjacent lockers.

    1. BrentMc11

      BrentMc11

      Did you play me in raquetball last week? HA HA!

    2. Coltman51

      Coltman51

      I wish. Haven't played racketball since I was at Purdue a long long time ago/

    3. BrentMc11

      BrentMc11

      I loved playing.....

  10. Storms here so far only created big winds and almost no water. Winds cleared trees of dead leaves,twigs, pine cones, etc. Have a natural magnet for all these things, called a swimming pool.

    1. BrentMc11

      BrentMc11

      Same as here ColtMan....I was lucky I watered again yesterday. It rained hard for 2 short periods last night....so lucky!!! I would be in trouble here if I had a pool. Acorns by the millions... May get a pool when I move back north...Jan or Feb....(Not great swimming months however) Did you catch the race last evening?

    2. Coltman51

      Coltman51

      No, haven't watched race for a couple weeks. Wife and I were catching up on Tivo tapes from the past couple weeks we hadn't watched.

    3. BrentMc11

      BrentMc11

      Sounds great. It was a good race this week other than the last few laps. Fuel mileage races are unnerving sometimes.

  11. The Coffee Law- As soon as you sit down to a cup of hot coffee, your boss will ask you to do something which will last until the coffee is cold.

    1. BrentMc11

      BrentMc11

      The Boss can also mean wife or girlfriend. Not sure I had a hot cup all week. HA HA!

    2. southwest1

      southwest1

      Here I though your coffee law was gonna go something like this: Hot coffee will always spill on your most important documents, of which you have no duplicates, or your most sensitive body parts. OUCH!!!

    3. alawai

      alawai

      Hot one! Haven't had one in a while, oops you mean coffee, sorry wrong blog!

      LOL just thinking of my cast on my lower leg many years ago! I used a ruler, sissors and whatever I could find to get that itch!

    3. southwest1

      southwest1

      Yeah, I've had my share of casts growing up over the years & there's nothing worse than an incessant itch under a lower body cast. The worst sensation in the world IMO 100GFB.

    4. alawai

      alawai

      SW1 - growing up? I never did grow and probably never will! lol! Tore my achilles several years ago and yes I was way past 30. lol! I never did grow up! Think I stuck whatever I could down that cast even a wire coat hanger which I hid from my wife. If she found out I was using a coat hanger she'd be calling me every name in the book and some!

  13. Law of Close Encounters- The probability of meeting someone you know increases dramatically when you are with someone you don't want to be seen with.

      It works the other way too. I do not like seeing people I know out...invariably they see me....UUUUGH! (Then again I don't get out much.)

      What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!

    4. southwest1

      So, what you're sayin' is if I came to visit you CM51, you don't wanna be seen with me either? Did my family talk to you first? Man, I hate it when that happens...Just Kidding CM51!!!

  14. Variation Law - If you change lines (or traffic lanes), the one you were in will always move faster than the one you are in now (works every time).

      That's a good question Maureen. Who knew a hula hoop qualified as a separation of a church & state tax break. I sure didn't. Too much fun a diabolical distraction? Hmmm...Just Kidding!!!

    3. southwest1

      southwest1

      "That one is SPOT ON! HA HA! " Thanks Brent! People who do that must have gotten their license out of a Cracker Jack Box IMO. George Carlin did a comedy routine once where anyone that drives slower than you is "a mo ron" & anyway who drives faster than you is "a maniac." It's a classic!!! And of so hilarious!!!

    4. BrentMc11

      BrentMc11

      Thanks for the laugh Southwest....I was envisioning the 'Great One' saying mo-ron and cracked up!!!

      "it does not fool Michigan flies for some reason" Who knew MI flies were so smart? I wonder if it makes a difference if they come from the Upper or Lower Peninsula? Hmmmm...HA! HA!

      BrentMc11

      The Ohio State flies.......S...ok I stop....

  17. Law of Probability - The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act.

      I better avoid this one ColtMan51....is there a law for avoidance of stupidity? :)

      I didn't know I was going to be videotaped on national TV today. How fun. I better get dressed up & wear some nice threads. HA! HA! Just Kidding!!!

      MIColtsFan

      where do they go? put together a grill a few weeks ago, dropped an important bolt and NEVER found it, went to some other dimesion I guess.. took me 45 minutes to find one similar in the misc. bolts, nuts, and nails bucket!!! arrrrgghhhhh

      Even worse than another dimension MCF, more like the Twilight Zone:

      The pee rule happens whenever you run facet water too. Murphy's Law #25.

  20. 11.. Law of the Theater & Stadium- At any event, the people whose seats are furthest from the aisle, always arrive last. They are the ones who will leave their seats several times to go for food, beer, or the toilet and who leave early before the end of the performance or the game is over. The folks in the aisle seats come early, never move once, have long gangly legs or big bellies and stay to the bitter end of the performance. The aisle people also are very surly folk.

      Gramz

      haha this is all SO TRUE. I like to get Aisle seats, because I don't want to bother people if I need to get up.... but I am usually glued to my seat from start to finish..
    3. Gramz

      Gramz

      ....and then I spend most of the time being aggravated by those that come and go 14 times during the course of the event.. sigh.

    4. BrentMc11

      BrentMc11

      All of the above....so true. When we had Pacer tickets, there typically would be a Reggie Miller 3 or a Jermaine O'Neal slam put-back for a big 3 point play. URGGH! I was going to say a Ron Artest flagrant foul: but I support Meta World Peace :)

      talking about that the other day, how are so many season tickets still available? one loosing season and that many fans jump ship! fair weather, hmpf!

    3. Coltman51

      Coltman51

      I feel it has more to do with the economy and decisions of people where to cut expenses, may have held on some if Peyton still here. Also think alot was scalpers who didn't think they would make money or profit off the tickets now for awhile, Not a known fact but my feelings

    4. MIColtsFan

      MIColtsFan

      good point CM51, I hope so ..I'm sure they'll get sold as the season nears! So did Dwight have so choice seats for these season tkts? LOL!

  23. Happy holiday weekend to all my friends here and all forum members. Be safe and careful, enjoy time with friends, family, or quietly alone if that is your desire. Remember the fallen heroes who kept our liberties alive, those who served and lived, and to those serving us now, may they be kept from Harms Way. Been a busy week or two past, have checked in briefly but not long enough to post. SW1- send my holiday wishes to our friend Brent for me as well.

    1. southwest1

      southwest1

      My dad served in Korea & I have relatives that served in Vietnam so your reminder about honoring all those who serve in wartime or peacetime is a noble & profound one. Thank you CM51 & to all the men & women who protect our civil liberties God bless you. I will be sure to send Brent pleasant Memorial Memorial Day weekend wishes as well my friend.

      My father served in Vietnam and my brother in Iraq! God Bless all those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for the liberties we enjoy each day and those who continue to stand watch.

  24. Danica running 2nd Sprint race tonight at tough Darlington, hope she at least finishes this one.

    1. BrentMc11

      BrentMc11

      She finished a respectable 12th in the Nationwide race at Darlington: The track that's too tough to tame. The Sprint cars handle much differently. She starts 38th and shoul just be happy to finish.

    2. Coltman51

      Coltman51

      yeah don't expect or hope for more than to finish. That is all Stewart is wanting for her, finish and get the experience. At least I got it right this week that she is racing.
