We have to read fifteen books, I am about half way there.

Most of the books I read are...

More Vacation

            I have been on vacation lately.  First, I went up to Minnesota to see my grandparents for a week; that was so much fun! My favorite thing that I did was go tubing on Lake Miltona with my best friend.

              Then we came home for one day and the next morning we left agin to go see my other grandparents in Michigan for a week.  On the way up, we stopped in Wisconsin to drop off my best friend at his house.  

 After awhile we arrived in Michigan and had lots fun I really enjoyed using my grandpas BB gun.

            Sadly, we are home now.   But as they say;  "There Is No Place Like Home".

Funny Sunday

I got some really funny computer jokes today, here they are...

"There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer.

When asked to define "great" he said, "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!"

He now writes error messages for Microsoft Corporation."

"I had been doing Tech Support for Hewlett-Packard's DeskJet division for about a month when I had a customer call with a problem I just couldn't solve. She could not print yellow. All the other colors would print fine, which truly baffled me because the only true colors are cyan, magenta, and yellow.

For instance, green is a combination of cyan and yellow, but green printed fine. Every color of the rainbow printed fine except for yellow. I had the customer change ink cartridges. I had the customer delete and reinstall the drivers. Nothing worked. I asked my coworkers for help; they offered no new ideas. 

After over two hours of troubleshooting, I was about to tell the customer to send the printer in to us for repair when she asked quietly, "Should I try printing on a piece of white paper instead of this yellow paper?"

Ha Ha! this next one is my favorite one.

"A pilot, Michael Jordon, Bill Gates, the Pope, and a pizza delivery man were all in a plane together traveling through stormy conditions.

Suddenly, the pilot ran back to the passengers and announced that lightning had hit the plane, and they were going to crash in a matter of minutes. "There are only enough parachutes for four of the five of us," he announced. "Since I'm the pilot, I get one!" After saying this, the pilot grabbed a parachute and jumped out of the plane.

"I'm the world's greatest athlete," proclaimed Michael Jordon. "This world needs great athletes, so I must live." Michael Jordon then grabbed a parachute and leaped out of the plane.

"I'm the smartest man in the world," bragged Bill Gates. "The world needs smart men, so I must also live!" Bill Gates grabbed a parachute and jumped out of the plane.

At this point, the Pope began to speak to the Pizza delivery boy. "I have lived a long life compared to you, and you may take the last parachute. I will go down with the plane."

"You don't have to do that, replied the pizza delivery guy. Bill Gates just jumped out with my backpack!"

Coming Up

For philly fun we have...

Trip Out East Part 4 (Philadelphia Fun)

We just drove into Philadelphia, and we had to find a place to eat. So we stopped at Pat's.

I had never a Pat's Cheese Steak, it surprisingly delicious! It was also cool because Geno's Cheese Steak its competitor was right across the street from it.  And also, at the very spot of the restaurant, the movie "Rocky", was shot in 1976.  And we were right there!

Tight parking.

After a very delicious lunch, we wanted to go sightseeing.

But finding a parking place in Philadelphia was not as easy to find.

After much looking we finally found a suitable parking place but it had a time limit sign and we had to park behind the sign in our fifteen passenger van. Which as you now that would make it a vary vary tight fit! And it was not cheap!

But even with all that trouble I still had so much fun.

Trip Out East Part 3 (Philadelphia Fun)

Today on Phily fun I will show you the trip on the way to Philadelphia.

First we had a nice eight and a half hour-tip to Ohio.  We stopped there for the night, and then had another eight and a half hour trip to Philadelphia.  Coming up, tight parking.
