They call me "Pete"

Lately we have had several conversations about what Hayes should call Libba and I.

We have gone through all of the obvious choices, you know the ones, and I have stated that I think we should let him be the one to decide. Well that might work if anyone would be patient enough for it to happen but we doubt that they will.

I started thinking about names and nickname that I have been called, some of them not flattering, and really don't think that any of them are appropriate for a young man to call his mother's father.

There is a man on my job in Heflin that calls me "Pete". I bet you wonder why. I have not a clue.

One day he called me Pete and I asked if he knew my name and he said "Yeah, Wayne, but you look like a Pete to me".

In the not too far off future Hayes will look at Libba and I and decide what we look like to him. There are many things that would be acceptable to me but I have to tell you, I hope that I don't look like a "Pete".

This has brought me back to my Blog!

I just watched the Lame Kiffin Show. Don't tell me that I misspelled his name, that is his name.

Bitch, bitch, bitch.

The way he got such a good looking wife is that he must do her hair for free. Or he decorates.

TV Guy: Coach why did you kick instead of running another play?

Lame: Well the way that the Refs have been calling the game, I could not take a chance that they would call a penalty that would put us out of range. Or we might have thrown an interception. I could not believe anything good would happen. And Cody took his helmet off. Our kicker does not suck, Cody took his helmet off.

Grow a set. You play this game and every game, like life. You play to win, you don't play to not lose.

Come to think of it, didn't Fat Phil whine? Maybe it is a Tennessee thing.

Hayes is Here!

The laundry list......

>Why is Meredith complaining about how often everybody posts, when she rarely puts up anything new? Come on Mer!

>When we look back on it, does any of the events of the last week really surprise us? She was arrested and her name is different than anything we ever heard.

>Are stupid people naturally lucky? You think about it, there are a lot of lucky, stupid people.

>I am watching "Cops" and hookers in real life are ugly, why are they knockouts on TV shows? What happened to truth in advertising?

>Is Tyler going to have a big breakfast in the morning to celebrate 1 week as a free man?

>I don't want to be around Beth if she does not have DMD. Good luck Billy.

>I can not fix a table that is in Richmond from Tuscaloosa!

>What could I do for a living if I lived in Mexico?

What a difference a day makes!

We got a call Friday night from Bill and Susan asking if we wanted to come to their riverhouse for the 4th.

We went and had a great time, great company, great food and plenty of laughs.

Here are a few fuzzy pics to give you a taste.





I hope everyone had a great day!

What an F-ing week.....

This week has not been fun.

I have known for a while that things where I work were not going well but last week everyone just threw up their hands and said "We give up".

The real problem is not that I don't have a job right this second, but that being used to having a place to go every morning, I don't know what to do with myself. How do you sit at home and look like you are busy enough. At times you just leave so the wife doesn't feel like she has to dust around you.

The good news is that there is a really good chance that I will be hired to finish the job that I was on. The owner and the firm that is in charge of the inspecting of the job want me to finish it. For that I am grateful but these things take a long time to do went you are sitting on your plump backside at home.

I have learned something this week, you really need to be someone with a title. Look at the job openings that are around, Needed Biofeedback Control Auto Industrial Engineer, I don't even know what the hell that is. I know how to do the dirty, unsexy, hot, backbreaking crap that the BCAI Engineer needs done before he gets there. Apparently there are too many of us, or anybody can do that.

So here is the plan, "Grandson, you need a title. "But what will I do Big Wayne?" "It doesn't matter son, get a title to put on the resume. You will be fine."

O.K., all kidding aside, I have always said that a person that wants to work and can work, will not be out of work for long. I still believe that. We will put it to the test and find out. I have sent out many resumes and told everyone that the territory from San Antonio to Richmond is open to me.

All of this and the fact that Obama is in charge gives me great hope. Bye, I have to go take my medication.
