Ginko is making me

Posted on 7:06 AM by Unknown
Trivia Question.

Who caught Brett Favre's last TD catch in Lambeau Field- answer at the end.
 -----------------------------
Josh and Jenny went to a symposium about Ginko and how it has shown to help kids with Down Syndrome. Something about how it get's rid of plaque which causes Alzheimer's.  Seems one of the odd things about kids with Down Syndrome is that they all get Alzheimer's at a very early age (like teens or something and I'm sure Jenny will correct me) but THEN by some sort of miracle they cure themselves.

Well - I figured what the heck - I'll buy some Ginko and pop one every day and I won't forget stuff as I grow old and decrepit.

Ever since I start taking the Ginko I forget what I'm going to write blog about!  At least I still know what a blog is!
--------------------------------------

We went to Millers to kill our Christmas tree and this year we went with a Concolor Fir.  What?  Concolor Fir? Yea - I had never heard of it either, it's also called a White Fir.  It's not a long needle and not a short needed - sort of an inbetweener.
 
While we were at the farm they were having sleigh rides which would transport you to different parts of the farm (it's pretty big).  They have like 4 or 5 different areas with different trees and to get there you take the horse drawn sleigh. 

We had our tree already but what the heck - let's take a ride. So we did a circuit and then I felt I had to get my camera so we went again.  This time I took some photos along the bouncy trail. I can't remember what the names of these Belgian Work Horse's were, (Matt and Mike?) but each weigh 2000 pounds and one pooped like a MoFo once.  Talk about a close up education as I sat in front of the sleigh! (no photos).

Belgian Work Horse's are the strongest of the heavy breeds of horses and a team of two can pull 17,000 pounds for up to 7 feet if  . . . . you needed to have something moved 7 feet and had two of these horses standing around doing nothing.

Here is Mike and Matt(?) taking us down the trail towards the Douglas Firs 


--------------------------------------------

Man the Bears are so lucky - everywhere I read they got a game changing break from the refs on a bad call by Ed "Hochules" Hochuli, who seems to be making a lot of bad calls this year.

Ever wonder what these refs do when not blowing calls that go against the Packers?

Ed is a lawyer for a HUGE firm in Phoenix and he specializes in . . . . civil litigation in  Bad Faith and Extra-Contractual Liability, Complex Litigation, Insurance Coverage and Fraud, Legal Malpractice and Professional Liability, Product Liability Defense, Trucking and Transportation Industry Defense, and Wrongful Death and Personal Injury Defense.

Yea- very very specialized, I wonder how much he would charge for Traffic Ticket Defense.

Actually "Hochules" is a very good ref for the most part, just bad timing as far as the Packers are concerned.
-----------------------


I was watching Inside Lambeau Field Saturday night as I was feeling very ill (thought I was getting the flu) and the guest was Desmond Bishop.  They ask what he was the most proud of and he said he was proud to be the guy that caught Brett Favres last TD pass in Lambeau.  

THAT was funny!

Did Favre AGAIN end a season with an interception? In fact I think this will be the third time he has ended his career with an INT?  
---------------------------------------------------

Who could have predicted THIS.


I want to see what happened next!  

Sort of reminds me of when Elwood and I were landscaping and with a wheelbarrow full of dirt we decided to share the load.  He took one side and I took the other side.

LIFT!

Lasted for less then 1/2 second!   Lesson Learned. No one was injured! 

And THAT reminds me of when I was on a bike and wanted to see if I could put my right hand on the left handle bar and left hand on the right handle bar. What could possibly go wrong.   I believe that was another 1/2 second event.  I was amazed how fast that experiment failed.

Maybe I need MORE Ginko

Keep warm.
