My Rusty Chevrolet....
DASHING THROUGH THE SNOW
IN MY RUSTY CHEVROLET
DOWN THE ROAD I GO
SLIDING ALL THE WAY
I NEED NEW PISTON RINGS
I NEED SOME NEW SNOW TIRES
MY CAR IS HELD TOGETHER
BY A PIECE OF CHICKEN WIRE
CHORUS:
RUST AND SMOKE THE HEATER'S BROKE
THE DOOR JUST BLEW AWAY
I LIGHT A MATCH TO SEE THE DASH
AND THEN I START TO PRAY
THE FRAME IS BENT THE MUFFLER WENT
THE RADIO IT'S OK
OH WHAT FUN IT IS TO DRIVE
THIS RUSTY CHEVROLET
I WENT TO THE IGA
TO GET SOME CHRISTMAS CHEER
I JUST PASSED UP MY LEFT FRONT TIRE
AND ITS GETTING HARD TO STEER
SKIDDING DOWN THE HIGHWAY
RIGHT PAST THE NEGAUNEE COPS
I HAD TO DRAG MY SWAMPERS
TO GET THE CAR TO STOP
(REPEAT CHORUS)
BOUNCING THROUGH THE SNOWDRIFTS
IN A BIG BLUE CLOUD OF SMOKE
PEOPLE LAUGH AS I DRIVE BY
I WONDER WHAT'S THE JOKE
I GOT TO GET TO SHOPKO
TO PICK UP THE LAYAWAY
CAUSE SANTA CLAUS IS COMING SOON
IN HIS BIG OLD RUSTY SLEIGH.

Some simple ideas a friend of mine sent me... to work on the weight dealy....
1. WALK! Park your car a few blocks apart from the place you are going to and take to brisk walk to your office, grocery store, or a shopping mall. Intend to walk at least 30 minutes every day. At work, use some time during your lunch break to take a refreshing walk in a nearby park. If the weather is cold, you still can walk in your favorite mall.
2. In the office, get out of your comfortable chair and go visit your colleagues from a different department instead of messaging or phoning them. If you need to go to a washroom, choose the one located on the top floor and WALK there.
3. Try to always take the stairs instead of an elevator.
4. While watching TV, do not use remote control. Instead, every time you need to switch channels, get up and do that manually.
5. At dinner, choose steak instead of pasta. The more you chew, the more calories you burn!
6. Several times during the day, drink natural coffee or green tea without sugar to boost metabolism.
7. Eating frequent small meals, especially if they are not loaded with sugar or white flour, is more stimulating for your metabolism than stuffing yourself with big meals two or three times a day.
8. Choosing spicy dishes is another way to burn more calories during the day.
9. Adopt a habit of moving your feet, stretching your legs, or squeezing a rubber ball while sitting. Can you believe that such simple movements can burn up to 500 calories a day?
10. In the winter, turn down the heat in your room, especially at night, and sleep under a lighter blanket. In the summer, turn on an air conditioning. A colder environment makes your body produce more heat and, therefore, facilitates the utilization of calories.

Red Tail Hawk hunting in the creek where I walk...
please excuse the video...
it is what happens when you need glasses to see cause you are half blind.... haha..
Hawk is in the middle.. it is fast and short.. unusual for me right, haha... have a great day!
heard the expression.. knott on a log?
This tree looks like it has a few knots on it.. wonder if Ann put them on it like she does my head every so often?? hehe....
the weeds in the fence row...
I noticed the weeds in the fence row on the west side of my path across the creek were still standing tall above the fence and post.. the post are out of the ground about 4.5 feet and these weeds at at least twice as tall as the post.. after the ice storm...
closer look revels....
some stems have water and ice on them and some do not. I wonder what the difference is? Do you think one believed it would storm and the other that it would not? Or do you think one was thinking of dressing up for a special occasion and the others said... who cares? I wonder??? why????
Looks like someone stood ...
Nearby and ran water just on these weeds and none of the other around it..
Can you guess where this large chunk of ice came from.
I can assure you that there are three paths across our land under these large highlines. I guess one needs to remember if they say ice on the highlines.. they mean ICE on the HIGHLINES.. and the bigger the line the larger the ice that falls off them. I have NEVER seen this before in my life ... so I was very surprised by the size of the pieces. I promise one thing. If you are driving under one of these going 70.. it will come through your windshield!!! wow...
