Not to bad. No expert but if it were a man he would still be dead.
Tested my new 22 this weekend. This was at about 25 yards. I did so so at 50 and lousy at 100. Had a lot of fun though.
But if you want to keep up with some of my life you can become a friend of mine on Facebook. Just look up Howard Broyles and you can send me a friend request. I mostly use Facebook for uploads of pictures from my phone. Other than that you’re stuck with my slow updates here. I know you are all dying to follow me and know what I do.
The diet has suffered during the holidays but I’m still trying. We are having friends over today and I bought all somewhat healthy choices. So it’s a new day and a new week and by golly I can do it. And people like me. LOL
On the tech side. The G1 is an awesome phone. I love all the apps you can download. It has a barcode scanner on it so you can scan items in the store and it goes on the internet to find out where to buy them for the cheapest price. That is cool! I have the white G1 now. I switched from the black when I reordered because the first one was defective. The keyboard on the white is harder to see in certain lighting situations but I like the way the white phones looks so I will deal with it. The batterry life leaves something to be desired but it does last all day and like the Iphone I’m sure further updates will help with that.
Be very quite I’m hunting wabitts! Well pheasant anyway. I was invited to go pheasant hunting with a friend sometime in the next few weeks. I borrowed a shotgun from my nephew. I went out shooting with my buddy Mark yesterday. I now have a big bruise on my shoulder. LOL We had a good time and I actually hit something. So we will see how the hunting trip goes.
Well, if this article doesn’t make you think twice about fast food, nothing will. Claims about food preservatives have been floating around for decades. Take the Twinkie shelf life rumor, for instance. Some have said a Twinkie has an indefinite shelf life. While it’s true that its shelf life is pretty long for a baked good, it’s not that long.
How about the burger you grab on the run at Micky D’s? Read on:
Above, you see two of McDonald’s Finest. On the right is a Big Mac, freshly made in 2008. On the left, a rather more vintage specimen, embalmed at the factory with the usual edible preservatives to keep it juicy and tender right up until you gobble it down. But nobody ate it, and it still looks as fresh as it did the day it was made, twelve years ago. …Continue reading “Big Mac Lasts Longer than 6 iPods”
I’m reminded of Randy Stonehill’s classic, American Fast Food. You can hear the original version in this fan video, but here’s his acoustic version (perhaps easier to understand – am I really saying that?):

Darrel Green made it into the Hall of Fame this weekend. This is a blessed man. I listened to his son introduce him and could see the love he has for his dad. Then to hear Darrell’s speech on his family and what true success means was just awesome.
Yep I’m still here!

I have just not felt much like writing. I am going to go see my Tribe play Wednesday. Me and one of my coworkers are taking the day off and heading up to Cleveland for a noon game. It ought to be a good time. Any day at the ballpark is a good day.
It’s been a beautiful Memorial Day weekend. I spent all day Saturday spreading mulch in our yard. We got six yards of mulch and I feel every yard of it. It was a good workout.
My eating has not been the greatest but I’m working on that.
A little good news is that we are refinancing our home. By combining our home equity loan and our mortgage we can shave 6 years off our mortgage and have the same payment that we now have between the two. We are going to a 15 year fixed. So we will have our house paid for by the time that we are 56. We are going to try and make a couple extra payments a year and have it paid off in 10. I have been listening to Dave Ramesy and trying to follow his advice. You can check his TV show out on the Fox Business Chanel at 8:00pm each night.
So that’s what has been going on with me. Other than that just keeping busy at work.
