Just for the fun of it.

On Goggle Blog you can see who is looking at your blog and find out different things about what people like and dislike. But as I checked on this, I was surprise to see there are now more Russians looking at my blog then Americans. That is like what? When I lived in the Bahamas, I use to have more Bahamians look at it than USA. 

I just want everyone to know how much I love doing this and I guess it shows by who is checking it out. 

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO EVEN LOOK AT IT. 

I know I am blessed when people write to me and let me know what they think about it. 

May your day be blessed beyond anything you can imagine.

It is only by HIS GRACE. 

I have not been in a Toy R Us for many years.

Like I said Toy R Us has been out of my mind for a long time. But on Tuesday afternoon I had to waste some time. So I drove around a little bit in Coral Springs. I saw Toy R Us. Wow , I need to check this place out. Now do you remember about 4 month or maybe more months ago, we had a Neff war at work go down? Well as I was walking around and just looking at all the neat toys and stuff there is there. I saw this, 20% off Neff toys. That sound great. Now should I buy something? Not, I know we have talked about another Neff war down the road. But to spend money on it? Don't think so. But it sure was neat to see all the neat toys and thing that Toy R Us carries. 

Okay which one is correct?

I believe this is the correct one. If you have looked at my blog in the passed. I have been really trying to loose some weight and get back into shape. Well I have been using the same scale every time. The reason is I have been told that Publix scales are pretty much a little lighter. I guess if you walk in and weight yourself and say, wow I have lost 4 pounds? Now I can buy some junk food today?

When you get on. Step as close as you can to the font of the scale. I get this. WOW. I have lost 40 pounds????? 

Then back up a little.

A little more towards the middle.

\

This is pretty much all the way back, only have half  of feet on it. 

So the next time you use Publix's scales. I guess step right in the middle. I hope that is where I have been stepping? 

I used the the Walmart blood pressure machine a week ago. On there they have weight and let you know how good of shape you are in. Well that one told me I weigh 192 pounds. I liked it but it told me I need to loose more weight and pretty much told me I am in bad shape. 

Maybe I should go buy one???? 

Trying to caught a raccoon.

For the last couple of days, we have had a trap set outside. The reason is there are two or three large raccoon running around our property. Well this last Sunday I even had a young lady come up to me, as I was walking around this area. she said did you know there are big raccoons here? I told we were trying to fit that. But as you see, We got ourselves a possum. He or she is just a baby. So I took it to the other side of the property and let it go. 

Okay last night I went to the movies here at Wynmoor. The place was pretty empty. But sat there and waited to see what this is about. Larry my roommate went and saw it Sunday night, not to good he told me. So the movie starts out some sad parts.Her dog is old and she had to put her down. Not a good start so far. There are a couple of laughs but not to good. 

It boils down to, these older women don't have any kind of life. Like I said is was some what a sad movie. My prayer is, when I get old, I will still have a life. Just thinking about it, WHEN I GET OLD??? I am old? 

As I am a part of a large work force at Calvary.

It seems like almost every week we are celebrating someones birthday or something. On Thursday it was Elizabeth's birthday, she is the young lady on left hand side. These are the folks I work with at night time with. They are our Custodial Crew. Left to right. Tony our big boss, Brandon, he is part of Events as I am, Elizabeth, Christina, Nicole, James, Jerome, Omar and Jason, he is one of the over seers of custodial crew. Some really good people. Jerome is Bahamian too. he is from Freeport. 

On Friday we had Christmas in July. Our boss Tony really has a heart for our staff in Facilities. That right these folks are the ones that keep our church up and running. Over all that is grounds, maintenance and custodial. 

We had a chance to get some bagels and cookies plus pretty good coffee too. 

Hey these are three of my fellow workers, Brandon, Scott (my boss) and Jeremy in the red shirt. 

Have you ever seen the game on TV named,  A Minute To Win It? Well this is one of the games they play. You have to stack the cups up and break them down. Then do it again as many times as you can. These cups were a lot harder to work with. The ones on the show are round bottoms. 

See we even had a Corn Hole Game to play. the kids had more fun with that than the food. 

These are a couple of the wives and children that came to celebrate Christmas with us. 

Our boss Tony gave each one of us a Christmas card with a little message inside. It really was a nice time to just hang out with these guys I really don't know that well. 

Have ever just walked by and saw something that caught your eye?

I have, in the pass bought one or two bags of these chips. Not for sure but I think they are the same thing? 

If you look at the back of the bags, they are the same facts. Now I could be wrong n this. Maybe the Wave is a bigger chip? I didn't buy any to find out either. 

I know I need to get a life? 

My bank sent this to me. I really thought it was pretty neat.

Looking at all of these slides, it really paints a picture of how people at their age are living and where does their money go to. 

Well at Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale, Fl. This is where I work and worship at. Our lead pastor has asked each and everyone of of us (staff)  to take 8 week classes. This is the Financial Peace University. If you look back in January of this year. I wrote about these classes at the time I was taking them. Starting next week I will be taking it again as a refresher's class. 

Folks I know so many people that have already spent this pay check before they even get it. To me that is a sad why to live your life. Since back in the 90's I have been debt free. Before then I even filed for Bankruptcy in 1985. Back then I had two houses and many bills. So I went to see a bankruptcy guy and he said, no way are you ever going to get out of debt. So I believed him and filed. Then it took me almost 15 years to get my credit back in order.I have had to live pay check to pay check. But now I believe in this class. If you would just take these classes and use them in your life. I know of so many people that have taken these classes, but are not living by them.  I will write about them again this next week. 

We don't have to have a car payment, or any kind of debt? 

Okay look at both of these fuel filters and show me what the different is?

Well about a year ago, after I bought my Ranger. I thought it needs a oil change and let me do a fuel filter too. Okay if anyone out there has ever changed a fuel filter on a Ford. Well it can be messy. There is pressure on the line always. I know how to relieve it. But there is still gas in the line and I am laying under the truck not jacked up. 

Okay I took the old one off. Then tried to put the new one on. It leaked and I tried again and again. How can there be another style? It is  FORD RANGER. 1999. So as you look above you can see there is another style. Flex Fuel. I didn't know any thing about that at all. Until I took it to a friend mechanic and he installed a new one. Then showed me the different's. Now still don't see the different's. BUT I know NOW. Flex Fuel V6 182cl Flex Fuel.. Fuel filter part # WIX 33233

Well my Tri Rail ride was great. It was free going down to Miami.

. 

This was my last ride out last week. 

As I got to the train station, I was talking with a couple of the people trying to buy tickets. Well there are two machines on the south side. It would not give out paper tickets. If you wanted to reload your card, first you had to have one. Then reload it was $5.00. But if you don't have a card, it would cost $2.00 more to get one. So everyone around this station was saying I am not paying for that? So the officer that was there said just tell the person on the train where you got on at. Pompano Beach station. Which it worked. She said okay when she was checking our tickets. But I need to buy one any way to get back home. So it still cost me $5.00. But how can you not, just get on and ride back and forth all day long on week-ends $5.00. Greta deal. 

Now you can see what time I got to the train station to rid back home. 

This is along 79th Street. Heading east. traffic was not to bad. 

Going over the first bridge to Miami Beach. 

On Collins heading south to South Beach. 

I was just talking with a friend here about my trip to Senor Frogs in the Bahamas. I can tell you this, it is not a place you want to bring 8 graders. That is what I did back in the Bahamas. Not knowing that. it just looked like a neat place to eat at. But not. The one in Nassau, is a party house. Open bar duirng different times. Free shots. Okay this is not where I ate at. Just saw it and had to take a picture. 

That right made it down here again. As I was riding around I noticed the building are changing each time I come down here. New here and there.

Okay now somewhere around here I got lost. That right. I just kept riding north, thinking I will come up to the road going across again. To get to the Tri Rail. Not happening. Oh right after I had lunch my phone battery went dead. It was my own fault. I watched a video riding down about the Chunnel that goes from France to England. It really was enjoyable. But didn't realize how much battery went buy by. 

Okay starting to get hungry and just wanting to stop. Okay Little Cesar's. 

Well I kept on riding north. I saw a sign saying 922/95. Okay that will work too. Got on US 1 and thinking I am still below the Causeway? So I headed more north. got up to 126th street.  Now my thighs were burning inside. You know cramping? Boy I was starting to really hurt. But as I stopped for more water stops, started feeling better. I was low on fluids. That was my own fault. I knew I was and kept riding thinking I will be okay. 

Got back to the train station, just in time. the rain was happening below us.

Well I have not  rode this far since the Bahamas. When going down there and back usually go about 30 to 34 miles.
