DRAG RACES AT INFINEON

Drag racing at Infineon...
Stock cars...
and bikes...
Check out all the photos...

I'm sad...

Just heard the news of the passing of Bill Walsh, former 49'ers coach. Wow so sad...
I really enjoyed the football in the 80's, Montana, Rice, Lott, and Randy Cross...on and on...

Very sad to hear the news. :-(

Afternoon with Shortbus...


So I spent the afternoon with "Shortbus." Some might as, why is his name "Shortbus."

Maybe I should first explain his nickname. He will tell you it's because of some story about how some people have to take the "Shortbus" to school. And people at his work call people "Shortbus" when they do things that are not that smart, But it actually relates to a part of his body if you know what I mean...Sometimes it's "Shrtbu" or "ShortBs", well, you get the picture.
(Just kidding JB, it's all good, right?)
Anyway...we spent the late afternoon hacking it up at Spring Valley Golf Course.
So far it's Shortbus 1, George 5. I won dinner again, but I must say, Shortbus' short game was getting really good. He broke 100 again, shot a 95 but if he had made a few putts, it could have been easily 90 or less.
Could have, should have, would have, I guess it could have been a lot of things. But seriously, he drove the 15 hole to inside the 150 yard mark, chipped to inside of 10 feet, but missed his first putt and ended up with a par. It was like that most of the day.
Too bad "Shortbus", Maybe next time...
Check out Shortbus' swing:

Good Times...with new friends...

From Right to Left,

I'm still not sure why they call him "Stem." He wouldn't tell me the story...I first thought it was because he was a smart guy, but the call signs are usually derogatory and reflects some stupid action or event relating to the individual. So my guess is he either lost a few brain cells along the way or he did something really stupid where they thought he might be missing a brain "Stem." I don't know.

(Me) - Just happy due to the wine...

In the middle is "Doc" for obvious reasons. She's a "Doc" but I don't like the callsign. I prefer "Minnesota" until I can figure out another sign. She wants to be called "Commando," and she says it cuz some stole her "stuff" but I think she just likes to go "Commando!" (Just Kidding!)

Then there's Tattoo. His callsign is what it is but man, can he "Tattoo" a golf ball! 300+ yards from this Kamakazi! He won the driving contest in our little mini tournament with our friends at Bayonet with a drive of 320+. My guess is he must be on the "juice," but like Barry Bonds, he will deny it! Seriously though, he was very consistent in his drives! He claims his handicap is 5.1 according to the NCGA, but I call him a "Sandbagger!" Maybe THAT should be his callsign!

F18 Super Hornets!!!


Thanks to the VFA-2 Squadron, we were able to tour the F18-Super Hornets up close. Incredible the size and feel of plane...Made you just wanna jump for joy!!!


They were really kewl!!! We also had a chance to get into a simulator, and try our skills at landing on the boat...


Alan got the closest to actually touching the deck with the plane, but we all crashed and burned...Tattoo told me to go practice on the PS3 and then I could come back and try it again.

He made it look so easy when he did it, but then again I guess that's why he has the wings and I don't!

Of course there were lot of interested things that we saw and asked questions about, but we were not allowed to take pictures or disclose what we saw...of course we could tell you what we saw, but then we would have to kill you...
Good Times...GBU2
Oh yeah, One More thing...on the way home, Albert decided to sing all the songs from Top Gun...it was really painful for the rest of us to listen...Maybe we need to take up a collection and get him some singing lessons!!!

A's had their chances but lost...:-(

Sammy Sosa of the (of the late Cubs) now with the Rangers, played, but was not that great...


But then again, he is Sammy Sosa...
I saw Konimi's brother there, but they mis-spelled his name on his Jersey!

It's nice to take POPs to the game...
Eric Gange of the late Dodger great pitched, but was not very good.
My New Friends kept us entertained throughout the game!!!








SONG OF THE WEEK - Again?

For the second week in a row, the song of the week is "Your Grace is Enough" by Chris Tomlin. I try to pick a different song every week to inspire me, but I think by picking the same song twice in a row is a reflection of the title that God's Grace is Enough and He will never run out of GRACE for YOU!

Have a wonderful week!!!

3 books...and food for thought...

So my good fri-end KR and I were thinking of the 3 books that we keep in our lives that determine where our priorities in life are.
But the problem was we remember 2 of th 3 but couldn't remember the third according to the life and time of CHUCK.
But of course KR admitted that she doesn't always listen to CHUCK or pay attention to what he says.

Finally, she asked him so here they are:
1. The Date Book - in other words our day timers, or our daily schedules,

2. The Checkbook - and where we spend our money...

3. The Good Book - or how much time we spend in the Bible or with God..

Just something for you to think about...

SONG OF THE WEEK

So I get stuck on a song that seems to stay with me about a week, I heard this song at Westgate Church last week, it's called "Your Grace is Enough" by Chris Tomlin. I just listen to it over and over and over again in the car and so this is my song for the week.

If you haven't checked it out, check it out on www.limewire.com and the other songs by Chris Tomlin. You may not recognize the name, but once you see the other songs that he's written you will!

Finding an old friend is better than winning the lottery... NOT...but close.
So yesterday I ran into a friends I have not seen for 12-15 years. Wow! Tim & Mayuko were at the mall and I'm never at the mall. What a great suprise.

It's interesting How the law of attraction brings things into your life and one of the things on my list were new friends, but who would have thought to run into an old friend and have back into your life is 10X better!!!

God is GOOD~ ALL THE TIME...

JOHN DOYLE'S PARTY!!!

Today was JD's party. WOW. When I get to his age, I hope I'm as happy and have the love of my life like he does!!! He's a lucky man and I hope when I'm his age I can be lucky to have only 1/2 the happiness and friends that he has.

HOLE - IN - ONE - TIMES 2

Hole in one's are unusual, but when you make your second, it's even more incredible. So on June 17, 2007 I played Sunnyvale Municipal Golf Course, Par 70, Hole number 7. Distance was 161 Yards, with an 8 iron, slight breeze from the back. Callaway Golf Ball, Mizuno MP60 irons, and one incredible bit of luck.
Didn't even see it go in, but when I walked up and the ball was not on the green, I knew, but I still didn't believe. Then I saw the ball in the cup, I believed!!!
So then KB calls me and leaves me a message, hey I saw your name in the paper (Mercury News) for the Hole-in-One. But 161 yards, with an 5 irons is pretty weak.
The message here is, don't believe everything you read in the paper, it's not always true (especially the Mercury NEWS)!!!!!
