For what its worth, lost a old friend of 40 years last wed. His son called a ambulance but it was to late. Worked on him for a few min but no go. He had taken a buy out a few years ago from work and went to culinary school as he was a cook in the Marine Corp and just wanted to do this when he was retired. Got a job running the kitchen at a retirement home. From feeling sick to dead in 72 hours.

Fav is GTS. I drink a lot of Stagg Jr, Wild turkey rare breed,.Weller, Double oaked Woodford. Talked to a guy in Montana who said Blantons is everyplace. A week later I see a pic of cases of that and Weller in Montana.Just getting into it get the Wild Turkey Rare Breed, good starting point. Michigan sucks for getting booze.

Put 2 10# butts on the Yoder last night, 17 hours at 225 2 different rubs. Rub my butt was the best I ever had. Drinking Wild turkey Kentucky spirit small batch or something like that. The booze goes thru here so fast lately its a blur.

l Loved it when he thought he saw a mouse. THATS IT WERE MOVING. Always wondered why they didnt spin him and the wife off, she was great also. One of the best, sorry for his friends and family.

There was a show on this summer where 2 nut jobs went around getting bit, stung etc from things and those hornet's were on there. Did not look fun. Said it felt like getting shot, hot and painful. Worse than a scorpion sting.They had a python bite them so they were not fooling around. Ticks are out heavy also, as I took one off the dog and my wife had one on her. Watch out.

The S curve was just a shitty design that not only was a mess to drive but when you have a road like that with cross over exit and entrance's you are just stupid. We got ass ended on there when traffic came to a stop. My dad and his LTD. Had a blast going thru that sucker on bikes late at night back in the day.

Back in about 1973 I had my Cobra going almost 160 on 96th by Plainfield in Grand Rapids. Had more peddle but my buddy was screaming like a little girl. Never got a ticket in that car. Did get 2 tickets on 15 between Vegas and LA. Victorville at 105mph and I think it was Barstow at 98 this was in the late 70's.

My father in law was a POW there. China got him. That's why we need guns here. If we go down they go down.

 

If Tua cant stay healthy…

If Tua cant stay healthy with a pro line at Bama, he is going to live on the IR in the pro's. I don't like any of the QB's, average arms. Get the corner from Ohio or Young.

I have a pulse OX finger machine, after having been thru pneumonia so bad I almost died. GET ONE. That machine is under 20 bucks, pop it on your finger and you have a reading in a few seconds.Also can check your heart rhythm. Last year I felt bad and popped it on and 30 seconds later call my wife to take me to the hospital. Ox was at 76.

Lions passed on Sapp in the draft, he smoked weed. Did the same with Randy Moss.

 

Thanks, Just fight everyday…

Thanks, Just fight everyday. Best thing is lost my job so started Big Weenie and am able to really help alot of dogs. Plus New Years day 2004 kind of sucked being a Michigan fan. Didn't find that out until Feb that year:)

16 years ago new years day…

16 years ago new years day walked into Spectrum in GR and my pulse Ox reading was 50. Nurse accused me of messing with the little finger thing and the next one read 50. She said I didint walk in then my wife came in said I did. Pneumonia and they put me in a coma where I also got staph, sepsis, blood clot and they put on the papers as outcome  death. Month later woke me up and off to rehab. Couldn't move, talk etc. Came home a month later in a wheel chair. Ruined my lungs, 2 years ago spent time in  Blodgett hospital with pneumonia and got out day before xmas. Just came home 3 weeks ago after a month in the hospital and again breathing problems then I got a hematoma with compartment syndrome and after begging for 2 days for them just to cut my arm off I crashed in bed. Couldn't answer the Docs questions, blood pressure went over 200 Ox dropped to 70. Cut my arm all up and I cheated death again. Lung problems never seem to end, about every year I get a hospital stay. Don't mess with this covet, or pneumonia, its a tough road. I wish anyone the best that gets sick and don't ever quit. Happy Easter, Big Weenie

Nothing to it. Drove a 5 ton and deuce in a half around Okinawa with those little roads with all those drivers in little cars, you got it. Clearance, and other idiots.

We get customers that when they come here bring a empty suitcase and pack it with goods to avoid high taxes back home. If they can work 24 hours a week and pay those taxes they must know something we don't.

Always admired him after he retired. Great coach who took on the big boys. RIP Coach

 

We own Big Weenie Brand…

We own Big Weenie Brand. Make stuff for salmon fishing. All most all made in Mi. Started with weeniedogs so we named the company that just goofing around. Never thought we would get in so many places and sell around the world.

Check out Juni the junebug fire surviving dachshund  On Face Book. He is one we have that survived a terrible fire in Onkema up neat Manistee Mi. His human mom and grandma and all other pets died. He lost a eye and both ear flaps and months of help but he is full of life now. We bought $2500.00 of pet oxegen masks and donated to fire dept all over the state last year that save a lives. Thanks for asking

So sorry for your loss. We…

So sorry for your loss. We have a small company and most of the money goes to helping dogs. We raise alot of money for rescues in the state and they need it. They get dogs that just are not going to find homes easy so we take in what we can. We had Dotty for less than a year, knowing going into it. She had been abused and was sick ( back yard breeder. ) It didn't make that any easier. 6 misfits here now and any time you loose one it is hard. USMC over 40 years ago and have only shed a tear over these dogs when we loose them, nothing else. When you feel up to it get another pet. You are never replacing one, just giving another a great home. Good luck to you and they are always in your heart.

Love it. It will drive Saban crazy, always for that. Hope he beats him a few times.

 

The NCAA, don't want to nail…

The NCAA, don't want to nail the big money schools anymore. Way to much cash from top to bottom for the clowns running the show. Perks, get out. All the big wigs and family's go to the bowl game in first class everything. They need a good east coast school, Clemson for the win. ESPN would die with out the SEC. OSU, about dead center of the east, mid west, large city need good ratings. It not like it used to be, you could be on TV twice a year that was it. 1 school from each conference to a bowl game. This crap is all about the coin. Just my 2 cents. Its up to the schools to play it how they see it. Oh yea, lots of these guys don't come to play school so that limits certain places. Urban to USC for 20 million, would be money well spent because they would be winning next year.

Get money together.

Find uncle, mom, pastor who is steering the kid to a school.

Buy that persons house for 3 to 10 times the value. Depends on level of kid.

My wife and myself 5 weeniedogs and one mean Chi wa wa 17# bird and tons of Bourbon.

Stiff arm is allowed to push…

Stiff arm is allowed to push on a defenders mask, can not grab it. Grabbing a stiff arm is a lot harder that you think. The problem for linemen is when they push up on a facemask and starts to push the helmet off. Before double chin straps helmets would come off a lot. Can not let your hands enter the face area behind the mask. Yes the Dobbins call should have went both ways.

Clemson fall? Have you seen the recruiting numbers for this coming class?

If true, I would guess he will never be the same. Why play a guy with his ankle and that lead? Hips are always a crap shoot to fix. Nicky don't care he has his money.

Congrats. Learned a lot in the Marines even when people didn't want us around. Worked hard had some fun and found out shit about myself I would have never known. I would rather take a bullet for a fellow Marine than speak German, remember that.

I was in Okinawa in 1976, for the birthday. I had a jeep and trailer and picked up trailer after trailer of ice and beer. Most I have ever seen. Loaded with a fork lift. Only time they didn't care I was driving a Marine Corp jeep full of booze. To all my Bro's, Chesty Puller never quit. Happy Birthday.

Burrow. Tua would scare me with 2 bad ankles. We all know how they work out in football.

A nice bottle of liquor. This time of year you can get stuff like Jack Daniels single barrel, certain Tequilas ( good ones ) With free engraving at some liquor stores. I have some with the Big Weenie Brand logo on them. You could get names and dates if you wish. They look killer.

It also has a lot to do with missing on high ranked players. Mich has had a lot of high ranked guys that had been no where near the ranking they came with out of high school. Think back also to how many 5 stars we were #2 for and missed. What was Chase ranked out of H.S.? I think he was our best guy last couple years on D.

That's why I always use my wife's phone for these type calls. Bama still has rotary dial I think anyway.

Damn, Try Marine Corp boot camp:) We had D.I.'s that used the same kind of talk just a bit harsher. He is probably right, believing their own press.

Directv cut all that ( Fox BTN etc) and Dish is cutting CBS today I think. We didn't have NBC for about a month recently on Directv.

The 80's also was a time when record companies wanted videos more than good music. Put complete crap on MTV was way more important than the albums. Flock of seagulls anyone? The Bugles? At least Asia got their keyboardist.

Except Keith Richards. Nuff said.

Might have been the ludes but Van Halen and The police I think I seen them in the 70's.

Have you ever been on one of those lifts? They are scary indoors on a nice flat floor. They shake, wobble, sway, jerk etc. I was always dreading them. Any ass would know not to use it out in those conditions. He should have at least have been charged with manslaughter or something.

41-3 Michigan. Could be wet out so might slow them down a bit.

I always bought at least 2 tickets to any concert figuring I would find some one to go. At Wings I really bought the tickets to see Thin Lizzy. Queen just blew me away. At the Vegas show I went to work after and they brought in a crew of over 70. Each band member had their own limo as did their girls. Freddie was still doing the chick thing. I just found it so cool that Mike had that jersey on and wish I knew the connection if there is one. Thanks Brian.

 

Thanks for posting that…

Thanks for posting that. Being old I got to see them at Wings Stadium in Kazoo with Thin Lizzy then in Vegas, both times with Freddie. I also had the great honor of cooking for them. Really good stuff on AXIS TV

Just thought it was a cool piece of history and those were cool jerseys. The guy was English also so curious how he would come by it.
