    Once upon a time, in a magical land known as Texas, there was a little armadillo named Kevin, who was kind and good, and worked in an office.
    Each day, Kevin would walk into his office, whistling a happy song. “Good morning, Kevin!” said the giant chicken with the desk beside the bathrooms. “Good morning, Kevin!” said the polar bear who took the photos of the items. “Good morning, Kevin!” said the seagull who ran the machine that created the bags of air. And, with a big smile on his snout, Kevin said good morning in reply, each and every time.
    But there was one person to whom Kevin did not say Good Morning. One person to whom he never said Good Morning. And that was the evil Pharaoh Aktentakhan, the self-styled embodiment of Ra. If anyone were to ask, Kevin would admit that he was a little bit frightened of the evil Pharaoh Aktentakhan, as well as the legion of trained assassins that were about his person at all times. But since Kevin was a kind and good armadillo, he very much wanted to find a way to be friends with Aktentakhan.
    One day, Kevin opened a box and found the Sunsei 18W Solar Charger with Controller inside. “Why,” he said to himself, “This Sunsei 18W Solar Charger with Controller allows energy to be transfered from the sun to a battery safely and easily, even on cloudy days! And, according to the box, you can daisy chain up to eight solar panels, which is enough to power a small cabin! I bet Aktentakhan would really enjoy this!” And so Kevin packed up the Sunsei 18W Solar Charger with Controller and began the long walk toward the department where the self-styled embodiment of Ra spent his days.
    “Don’t do it, Kevin!” said the terrified seagull. “He’ll kill you, Kevin!” said the horrified polar bear. “Good morning, Kevin!” said the chicken, who wasn’t really paying attention. But Kevin passed them all without a word, continuing toward the giant glowing tower of Ra that for some reason had been overlooked by the building inspector during the annual visit.
    Who dares approach us? came the booming voice from the top of the tower. Kevin swallowed hard and held out his Sunsei 18W Solar Charger with Controller. “Hi, um, Aktentakhan. We, um, we kinda got this solar thing in today and, um, you can kinda use it, you know, instead of gas, and it has this cool LED on the front, and there’s these protections built in so, you know, so it doesn’t blow out, and the controller part sort of keeps your batteries safe because they might overload without it, and, well, I thought you, you know, might like it, since you’re into all that sunshine stuff. I’ll just, I guess, leave it with your assassins here and, I don’t know, let you get back to work, I guess.”
    Kevin shyly left the Sunsei 18W Solar Charger with Controller on the small marble pillar at the foot of the giant glowing tower of Ra and turned to go. But then he felt a warm hand on his shoulder, like the first rays of dawn. Kevin turned, and found the Pharaoh Aktentakhan smiling at him. Good morning, Kevin. Aktentakhan said. And Kevin, the kind and good armadillo, smiled back.
    From that point on, everyone would say Good Morning to Kevin when he walked in. The seagull, the polar bear, the chicken, the raccoons that made t-shirts and the snail that wrote the copy. But most especially his new best friend, the Pharaoh Aktentakhan, guardian of the Sunsei 18W Solar Charger with Controller.

    Hi ho boys and girls. A lazy Saturday off, but I'm in pain. Overdid it at the gym last night and now my hip hurts. Then I slept wrong on my back and that hurts too. Sucks to hit 40. I need some moldy bread for pain relief. So I'm hobbling around the house never far from the heat pad. Finally got around to watching last weeks AFC championship game. I think the Cards can take them!

    True enough I can't remember which Floid flavor I sent to Shawn, but I don't think it was the Blue. The Blue is pretty decent. Cooling and mentholated like AV or Proraso. I thought most of those other Floids smelled like animal urine when first splashed. Some of them settled down to a decent scent and some didn't. Obviously one of those I sent to Shawn. Maybe Floid will be tomorrows weekly chat.

    S.D. is indeed some of the best hunting around. You can hunt pheasant, goose, dove, quail, duck, turkey, Hills deer and Plains deer. No Elk, Moose or Bear. I'm sure I'm missing something else, but those are the biggies. I hunted every year growing up, but have not hunted since leaving which is around 20 years now. Have been living the busy city life since then. If I get this transfer to Denver I want to buy a Remington and start bird hunting again. Probly. better shoot some clay first to get back in the groove.

    Ok, that was a long catch up post. Not in the mood to play much more today so this could be my last post....or not. We'll see how I feel. If it is, see you all manana.

    Afternoon everyone.

    Had to make the trip to the big city for groceries. $300 later I am home. How else can you spend $300 an hour.

    Ray, glad your better. So what food was the culprit?

    Shep, get better and quite overdoing it at the gym.

    Shawn, got the jerky today. Damn good stuff. The wife has been hogging it and claiming she only had one piece.

    surely ya'll know what Woot! is?

    every day a different item, sometimes there's a Woot!Off of many items...most of the items have a humorous, funny, or comical story to go with it - my favorite was 2-3 years ago about an RCA mp3 player that told the story of everyone asking about his blue ipod ("it's not a f***ing ipod!" :happy102)
    anyway....
