Remember when you took that home wine making course and you forgot how to drive?

There are so many things I'd like to forget. Maybe home mead brewing is the ticket, then.

 

 

4. Garmin – I tagged Waldo with a GPS device… problem solved.
 

I hope that it was a universal GPS device because if it's Garmin exclusive, given the number of people that still use Garmin, nobody will ever know where he is.

(Os)Waldo is in San Diego. No, not Carmen.

Now I have the Carmen San Diego jingle in my head.  I didn't catch it often, but that TV show was pretty good from what I recall.  I could have done without the musical numbers half of the time, but I enjoyed the geography lessons.

This will ease your pain.

 

Did you make a stop at Off The Bone BBQ, RB?

If Schafer scores, will it be Logan's Run?

Would this also work if he drove a run in?

Also if his nylon stockings get scratched.

Is that Sabermetrics?

It was a TV show? I thought it was a computer game.

That's how I remember Carmen San Diego. That and Oregon Trail were my jams!

It was both.  The game inspired a game show.

2. Memory – I have a theory and I think I’m right. I believe that we only have so much RAM and once you reach a certain age there is simply no more space. When you learn something new… something must leave to make room for it. I was in Texas this weekend and I learned that Armadillos eat beetles and worms. After I learned that… I couldn’t remember what room number I was staying in and I apologize to the couple from Louisiana that I walked in on.

 

If only your brain could send you reminders that your storage is running low and you need to buy some more.

Nothing was better than Oregon Trail.  The disappointment that ensued if we were led to the computer lab and handed floppy disks with Number Munchers on it was immeasurable.  I liked Number Munchers, but it's no Oregon Trail.

 

A few years ago, my wife and I went on a road trip out west and followed the Oregon Trail from Casper, WY through South Pass.  I kept making Oregon Trail jokes.  I'm half surprised that she didn't leave me at Independence Rock when we stopped there.

Were you updating friends and family with things that you'd see on Oregon Trail? 

Something along the lines of:
"Mrs. Snydes has typhoid" 

"There was a fire in our wagon. Lost 1 wheel axle and 4 pounds of food." 

"I have been bitten by a snake"

What? Are you my brain reminding me to buy more storage?

Because of this season, the anger in our brains has taken over... If I've learned anything from Inside Out, don't let anger take over your brain.

Haha!  I was driving, so I wasn't going to be that guy.  I was constantly asking my wife if she was still feeling okay.  I believe one of my lame jokes was that I needed to buy feed for the oxen when I needed to fill the gas tank.  Hunting jokes were prevalent given the number of pronghorn in the area.  I asked how we should ford the river at every river crossing.  Looking back, I'm not sure why she didn't kill me for her own sanity.   

 

Texting would have been pretty epic.  I wish we would have thought about that.

That was THE BEST movie ever! Well, okay, maybe not ever, but I was sitting in the theatre and in the end when the little girl was finally sad and said, tearfully, 'I miss Minnesota.' I said to myself, 'Oh, honey, so do I!'

If only your brain had an external hard drive so I could get rid of some of the stuff I wish i never knew.

Angry is ok, it's alright to be angry sometimes. It's sadness you have to watch out for, that sucker is hard to get rid of for some.

 

Fortunately the Twins make me more angry than sad, which is a good thing................well, maybe not for my furniture.

Our rotation for this series is Santiago, Albers, and Dean. Yes. Yes that is our rotation for this series.

 

I now know what it's like to fathom a bottomless pit, the darkness, the horror...

 

 

I cam here from the Nicks post about the Twins Plan, to regain my sanity. That is so sad!

Years ago, at the State Fair, I left my wife and two girls and took my 4 yr old son to machinery hill, about 4 blocks away. I crawled up on something for 30 seconds, turned around and he was gone! Finally called the cops, and they assured me they never lost one yet. Just wait here. Half an hour later he shows up with his mother and sisters in tow, asked where I had went. Lol. He got tired of looking for me, so he walked down to them, and brought them back. How he knew where and how to find them or me remains a puzzle to this day. I can tell you, it's one crappy feeling to lose a kid. Of course once they grow up, you can't lose them, they keep finding you no matter how often you move.

I agree. Probably not for the same reasons, though.

I keep finding myself back over there for some reason.  Perhaps I'm looking for my sanity figuring that is where I last saw it.

You must be one of those who finds it difficult to look away from an accident causing gawker slowdown
