Of course, I thought that would be great, until I started to consider the facts:
  1. I have pig embedded in my body.
  2. We are currently in a swine flu pandemic.
So, I wondered, does this mean I'm already "vaccinated" against swine flu?  Or am I just more susceptible to it's effects?  Or will a part of me just go crazy like mad cow? Anyway, I guess it's not that big of a deal, though I do tend to get cravings for mushy potatoes and carrots.  (maybe that's normal)  In any case, I think it's time to go find some bacon. Mmmmmm. (tongue firmly planted in cheek, or at least bacon)]]> Boating https://ptc.jamesandcarolanne.com/2009/09/15/boating Tue, 15 Sep 09 22:30:31 +0000 https://ptc.jamesandcarolanne.com/?p=658

I've never towed anything before, let alone another boat, so it was quite an experience to say the least.  I only wish I had thought to take pictures, but I guess these will have to do. We took the boat out for it's second ever voyage this last Sunday afternoon and attempted to do a fishing trip on Cultus lake.  Unfortunately, the only "fish" we caught was the $80,000 MasterCraft that we had to rescue.  None the less, we had lots of fun in the process.]]>         Boat Color Vote https://ptc.jamesandcarolanne.com/2009/06/23/boat-color-vote Tue, 23 Jun 09 08:23:41 +0000 https://ptc.jamesandcarolanne.com/?p=618
