Saturday Helpers Work in the Rain


Well...I don't know exactly what happened to the arrangement I'd planned for the pictures, but at least they're on the page. It's another Saturday morning with the boys. Since it's raining, we're taking advantage of the "pre-soak" and getting the van all cleaned up. Both boys, of course, wanted a turn at scrubbing the bugs off. So far we have three quarters of an inch in the rain gauge. Dennis did win the Championship last night at Donnellson. Don't know what else we might do with this rainy morning.

Back to School MUJIBAR!!!

School is back in full swing. Yesterday started off with a few small bumps, but not bad for the first day back. I can't truly say I'd been looking forward to returning to work, but I will admit that it's nice to be back to a more structured lifestyle. We have new busses coming, and I will be driving one of them, but until then I'm using old #16. Bobbie and I are on pretty much the same schedule, so we're riding together. She takes her route to Donnellson, and I go to Montrose. The picture you see was taken at our welcome back to school cook-out. The little gal in the black shirt is our boss. The three guys across the table from her are three of our co-workers.

Dennis will be racing at Donnellson again on Friday night, and if I'm not mistaken, it's the last "points" race. If he finishes, he should be the 2006 Track Champion in his class. They're also having a "powder-puff" event, and he's offered to let me drive his car. I'm considering it, but most likely will decline. There are still quite a few races to go even though the regular season is over and I'd feel really bad if I crashed it up. I know he'll be racing again at Donnellson on August 30 and Shiverfest in October, plus several other special events. Here he is, painting his new safety cage, getting ready for Friday's race.

The following story is one to which I can certainly relate! Sadly, the humor of it is that it's so true!

MUJIBAR!!!

Mujibar was trying to get a job in India .

The Personnel Manager said, "Mujibar, you have passed all the tests,
except one. Unless you pass it you cannot qualify for this job."

Mujibar said, "I am ready"

The manager said, "Make a sentence using the words
Yellow, Pink and Green."

Mujibar thought for a few minutes and said, "Mister manager, I am
ready"

The manager said, "Go ahead."

Mujibar said, "The telephone goes green, green, and I pink it up, and
say, 'Yellow, this is Mujibar.'"

Mujibar now works as a technician at a call center for computer
problems.

No doubt you have spoken to him. I have.
