Yep, it was one of those days. Have you ever put yourself in a situation that you knew dang good and well that you shouldn’t be in to begin with. That’s how Tina and I’s Fourth of July went. We had agreed to go with two other couples and spend the day boating on Lake Ft. Gibson which would include an afternoon stop for a picnic sponsored by the “Elks” club, an organization that really does some great work for our veterans that Tina and I are members of, and then watch the fireworks from the lake. Now this normally would have been a really pleasant day, but not this weekend. I should have had sense enough to politely make an exit when Ira, a good friend of mine for the last several years, showed up at eight o’clock in the morning already drinking rum. But oh no, common sense just sometimes seems to evade me. Well needless to say by the time we pulled around to the picnic, things were getting interesting. Now you have to picture this in your mind. We are on our other friends (not Ira’s) 34 ft. cabin cruiser which is a pretty good size boat. We nose up to shore and the bow plank is extending about four foot over the bank and about six foot high off the ground. Everyone is exiting off the back of the boat in about four foot of water and wading up on shore. Now Ira, already pretty much in his own little world by now, puts on his life preserver goes full steam off the bow plank and does a swan dive as if he is in the middle of the lake, head first into the rocky bank, lands with a thud, then rolls back down the bank and begins floating away. Great way to introduce your friend to fellow “Elks” members. Well as much as I wanted to let him float away, I mumbled and grumbled my way out in the lake and drug him back up to shore. After checking him over for broken bones, and I must say the good Lord takes care of fools and drunks, we grabbed a quick burger and loaded back up on the boat for the second half of the days drama. Everyone by then had pretty much agreed that watching the fireworks from the lake with Ira on the boat wasn’t going to happen. We cruised back around the lake to dock the boat and being the good responsible friend, as much as it killed me, I volunteered to take Ira and his date back to my house rather that let him try to drive home. Determined not to let the day be completely spoiled I decided to build a bon fire in the back yard and watch the fireworks display put on by our neighbors. I was sure that by dark Ira would be passed out on the couch and we would be safe. NO SUCH LUCK. After we started the bon fire, he fell into it twice, and finally passed out on the ground with his arms wrapped around my chocolate lab whispering sweet nothings into her ear. I guess you could say he really went to the dogs.
The moral of this story. If your friend shows up at your house at 8 o’clock in the morning with a glass of brown liquid in his hand instead of coffee, don’t answer the door; Boats and drunks don’t mix; and enough liquor will even make a real dog seem like a beauty queen.
Anyway, I hope your fourth of July went better than ours. I also wanted to take a minute to tell you about a brand new service that I found out about last week that will allow you to keep in touch with your social network or potential customers if you have a website, from anywhere. It also has a multi tier affiliate program that I think will really be profitable. Be sure to take a minute and check out both of these links

I’ve added this service to the home page of our website and it works really well.

There have been several people, myself included, that have had trouble with the Storm Video Player that comes with both the Mini Spy Pen and the Gum Stick Recorders. Here is a link where you can download a FREE Codec that will enable you to play the videos with Windows Media Player. I installed it myself about a month ago and have had no problems. I hope it is helpful.

Be sure to uninstall the Storm Player software. There will be a conflict between it and Media Player.

I just wanted to take a minute today to wish you all a happy and safe Memorial Day. It has been a very relaxing three days for Tina and I. My sister Wendy drove up from Houston to spend the weekend which was really a treat. We don’t get to see each other often so these times are really special. We fired up the grill yesterday for burgers and dogs then spent the evening telling stories around a small camp fire in the back yard. One of the advantages of living in small town America. She’ll be on the road in a couple of hours, back to the hustle and bustle of the big city. Better her than me.
Anyway, I hope you all take a minute today to remember the men and women of our armed forces, the sacrifices that they have made and continue to make daily to ensure our way of life. Here is a link to a video that really moved me. It pretty much sums up my feelings today in a nutshell. Please pass it on to anyone you know who has or is now serving our great nation. It is only about 60 seconds long and well worth watching.
