    1. My goal for 2020 was to lose 10 pounds. Only have 14 to go.


    2. Ate salad for dinner. Mostly croutons and tomatoes. Really just one big round crouton covered with tomato sauce, and cheese. FINE, it was a pizza.... OK, I ate a pizza! Are you happy now?


    3. How to prepare Tofu:

    a. Throw it in the trash

    b. Grill some meat, chicken or fish


    4. I just did a week's worth of cardio after walking into a spider web.


    5. I don't mean to brag, but I finished my 14-day diet food supply in 3 hours and 20 minutes.


    6. A recent study has found women who carry a little extra weight live longer than men who mention it.


    7. Kids today don't know how easy they have it. When I was young, I had to walk 9 feet through shag carpet to change the TV channel.


    8. Senility has been a smooth transition for me.


    9. Remember back when we were kids and every time it was below zero outside they closed school? Yeah, Me neither.


    10. I may not be that funny or athletic or good looking or smart or talented. I forgot where I was going with this.


    11. I love approaching 90, I learn something new every day and forget 5 other things.


    12. A thief broke into my house last night. He started searching for money so I woke up and searched with him.


    13. I think I'll just put an "Out of Order" sticker on my forehead and call it a day.


    14. Just remember, once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed.

    Right where I want to be.
    I got all the way through, but I'll need to reread it several times before remembering even one of 'em.
    Now, which one should I pick?
    Just woke up from a nap.....totally unintended. Both of those.

    This is absolutely true, I came in about an hour ago after walking all around the out buildings with a flashlight looking for my keys. Came back in, looked around the house some more, then went back out with the flashlight. Guess where I found my keys, right next to the chair where I was sitting, before I went walking around with a flashlight. It's happening way too often to be anything other than.....what was I talking about? Oh yeah, I found my keys.

    I'll call it a ''phase'' i went through last summer. I'd get ready to go for a ride on my bike. I would always start it up, put on my leathers, helmet, glasses, gloves, etc, by then the bike's up to operating temp and its time to ride. Well, i always put my wallet in a inside zipper pocket of my leather coat. I'd come back home, park the bike, take off my jacket, chaps, gloves, helmet, etc, etc, and come in the house from the shop where the bike is. Next day, couldn't find my wallet, i'd start in the house, eventually working my way to the shop, i'd find it right where i left it, normally on the seat of the bike, in plain view. I bet i did that 6-7 plus times easy, before i finally trained myself to put it in my jeans pocket, before i hung up my coat, i broke the ''habit'' and didn't misplace it after that.

    Just yesterday I went for a ride on our golf cart. Quite often when I go away from the house I'll take the 2-way radio. I remember telling my wife that I had it and I even turned her radio on for her. I got about a mile from the house and looked down where I laid the radio and dang, it was gone. Figured it must have fell off maybe when I hit a bump. Turned around and followed my tracks all the way to the house but never found it. Went inside to ask my wife to go with me to try finding it. Okay. On the way out of the house I found it. Seems I never even took it. But, I turned hers on in case I wanted to call or if she wanted to call me...

    We used to have signs up and had all of our cows named. It was handy for keeping records. Whenever we had company most times kids would ask why the names. We always told them it was so the cows would know which stanchion was theirs.
