Two whales are swimming along in the ocean...
When one whale spots a fishing boat. So he says to the other whale "Hey, that is the boat that harpooned Frank, we should get back at them"
The other whale says "Oh yeah? What should we do?"
"I say we both go under their boat, and blow our blowholes as hard as we can, that will knock over their boat!" And so both whales went under the boat, and with a powerful blast they were able to capsize the boat and send all the sailors into the water.
The first whale then says "Now that they are all in the water, I say we eat them!"
And the second whale replies "Woah, woah, woah. I was all for the blow job but I won't swallow any seamen".

Good morning, folks.
A giant breakfast would be good, but the fat bastard in me is turning that down this morning.
How is BFC?

Good Morning Humans
Happy Thursday
Slept a little late today. Sometimes the iPhone just vibrates for the alarm and it takes a while for it to seep into my brain that it is time for GTF up.
That was today’s state of the union. Now it’s time to rock me like a wagon wheel and hit the trail.
Yall kick arse today and make stuff happen to clear the deck for a quick glide into the weekend tomorrow.
Best of Luck.

Morning everyone.
Feeling pretty good today the inguinal hernia that bothered me all day yesterday has pretty much cleared up. Got the call scheduling the surgical consult for it so will find out Monday afternoon when they will fix it.
Neighbors across the street are scheduling to help get me to the Shreveport GI Clinic early next month. Really nice of them to offer to drive. I almost always end up sickly when scheduled in Shreveport and Mom can’t concentrate to drive when I am like that.
