    Congrats to him. I was in the honors society in high school . I am so glad that is one thing that hasn't been stripped from students.

    Congrats to him and you and your wife Cantexian!! Active in sports and still doing great at school is no easy accomplishment these days with all the social distractions.

    This got me thinking , do they still give out two diploma upon graduating. One from the school and a other from national honors society?

    Got a big package from mailman, who wants to buy the Marquis. It was the complete floor mat set for the new car. Our daughter bought it for me.

    Lol... I hear Chris,Chris. I wake, what what?! Hubby softly saying I hear chicks are there chicks.? I check, sure enough 3 are here and 2 more almost out. I turn on brooder and pull shells so they have room. Then check time 1 a.m. !!! I thought it was like 5 and he was up getting ready for work. Well brooder will be nice and warm for morning transfer. Hopefully back to sleep.

    1000000623.jpg Unfortunately I had two ,fully developed ,pipped just one tiny hole and then died. Not humidity because others with no problem. Save one I helped. Crazy big and strangly long neck. The eggs shells are super thick and that's been a issue this year. 9 in brooder and one trying to hatch. That will be 10 live out 22 should have been 12. I see no progress in whats left and a few are very lite. After this last one finishes hatching I'll give the eggs one full day before water testing them. I at least, have one or two for grandsons and replacements for older hens

    Wife is so looking forward to Florida, she needs a break. She was very happy to get the email about selecting her inflight meal Thursday night. She will probably fall asleep on the way. She is understanding that I need to take care of some business Friday morning as long I am back with a bucket of bait shrimp and we are in the kayak by low tide.

    We land Tuesday night, surprise for my wife. I was getting sick of her vehicle it is gone, she drives home her new one. No did not just go and choose a vehicle for my wife , I checked history when she was on my laptop saw the one she wanted. Called a buddy of mine, he golfs with the GM of the dealership got me a good price. Dealership is close to the airport she asked why we exited the freeway on the way to the airport, the vehicle she wanted was sitting there at the front door at the dealer. Happy wife.

    Congrats to her, what did she pick out on her lap top feed?
    I'd test drove several and the telluride and palisades were my to best, " tires to steering wheel", feel. The telluride had the leather color I liked. So far so good. I'm enjoying the features as I figure them out. Tomorrow at our Easter celebration our daughter will finish setting me up with the Kia app. I finally got my auto lift gate figured out and the auto unlock feature.

    My wife likes the Lincoln crossovers, typical woman's car.

    I am enjoying doing nothing, not even fishing (too damn windy) Just being a lazy bum no calls from the office leave me alone. No place to be nothing to do just shut off. I am even sleeping in didn't get out of bed till after 7:00. No TV either and don't miss it. Going to sit out by the pool and read a book, probably take a nap.

    Tomorrow going out on Anna Maria Island my wife likes to go to the Sand Bar for Sangria on Sunday morning and walk the beach. Why is it perfectly acceptable to have a sangria, screw driver, Bloody Mary on a Sunday morning but when I order a double Jameson ginger ale in a short glass I get the look?

    Two days in a row I have indulged my wife, eating outside. I hate eating outside at a perfectly good restaurant with indoor seating. I walked the flea market and went to an outdoor street festival. I even promised to keep my thoughts about people to myself. She laughed when we were people watching she would see a person then look at me and watch me hold it in.

    I think between the vehicle and the trip I should be good for most of the summer I can be my usual self.

    If you find a dead cockroach in the garage, throw it in the toilet and put the lid down, kinda funny to hear a scream followed by curse words when your wife goes in there.

    I went to the island endured the traffic had cocktails and calamari outside no umbrella I am sitting there sweating like a fat kid, did the long walk on the beach. Then the dive place for burgers. Pretty much hit the wife's highlights. Not sure when I became a kiss ass husband but it will stop soon.

    In all honesty she really needed this break it has been a long couple months for her. I do have a soft side.
