I enjoy working in the yard. I like cutting down trees, clearing brush, and working in the garden. Those are some of my favorite things to do. What spoils the fun, though, are the biting insects. The ticks, black flies, and mosquitoes really put a damper on the enjoyment. Not only are the biting bugs a huge annoyance, but they carry diseases too. Yes, I use skin products that repel them, but once I start to sweat the effectiveness is lessened dramatically. That is why my wife and I are considering buying one of those new mosquito trap machines.
My wife has been “bugging” me (pun intended) to buy one of those ever since she found out about them – about three years now. I’ve been trying to put her off, but our old bug zapper light machines have finally died and I can’t seem to find any new ones to replace them so it looks like my wife is going to finally get her way and end up with one of those machines. I know once we get one, we’ll both be more likely to eat our dinners on the back deck, so it will be well worth it.
I just had the opportunity to try a new flavor of ice cream that I’ve never tried before. I usually eat plain Vanilla ice cream. Yeah, I can hear you now – “that’s boring.” Well, I like other flavors too, but vanilla is versatile! Anyway, my favorite brand is Breyers ice cream, and I give my wife a really hard time if she tries to sneak any other brand past me! I can tell the difference! Anyway, my wife brought home some Breyers Caramel Praline Crunch flavor ice cream the last time she went shopping. She told me that she had some at her friend’s house last weekend and that it was really good. Well of course I grumbled about it, but tonight I tried it for the first time, and I have to admit it is really good! My wife might be surprised how quickly that ice cream gets eaten!
My wife’s best friend just returned from a Myrtle Beach Resort vacation. She brought back lots of photographs and souvenirs for her friends and family. She was telling us how much fun she had, and about how she and her hubby spent a day at a NASCAR amusement park. Well, I’m not a big golfer so I had not thought much about going to any of the golfing Myrtle Beach Resorts that the area is famous for, but finding out about the NASCAR park as piqued my interest!
And she told us that they went to a Medieval Times dinner show and had a great time there too. I’ve always wanted to go to one of those shows; I understand that they serve you a meal that you have to eat without using any silverware! Hands only! Well, that certainly brings out the “beast” in me, wondering how it will come about, and watching the show. So now my wife wants to look into going to Myrtle Beach and staying at one of the Myrtle Beach Hotels that are on the beach and take in the sights. I’ll let you know if it happens!
A friend of mine sent me a link to allow me to watch the newly released Wolverine movie on my laptop! I don’t know how that was accomplished, I suspect it is some kind of illegal bootleg copy, but I have no clue about things like that.
What can I say. I watched the movie. It was action packed, full of great special effects, great fights, and great chases. It kept me wondering what was going to happen next. I didn’t want the movie to end. I can’t wait for the sequel to come out! The characters in the movie proved to be too much for this movie, so they have to continue on with more movies. I’m a big fan of X-men, so I’m delighted!
