TROPICAL STORM WARNINGS ISSUED FOR OBX, NEW CHAT FEATURE ADDED



The National Weather Service has issued a Tropical Storm Warning for the OBX as Tropical Depression #3 continues to strengthen ans will likely become Tropical Storm Cristobal later today. I have posted the projected path of this storm, it appears it will be a minimal TS but could bring some much needed rain the area. I have added a new chat feature to the blog where you can chat with someone or leave a little note, it is located at the top right of the page just above the scroller. All you have to do is hit where it says chat here and it will open up a sidebar on Mickey's Place. It appears the AC here at the house has gone on in the blink, when I woke up this morning it was 77 degrees in the house and I am quite sure it going to rise quite a bit during the day. I guess I will have to stay in the new room and keep the door closed to keep the AC in there. The Sprint Cup Series is off this weekend while the Nationwide Series races at Gateway tonight. I did make it down to Wal-Mart this morning and yes the they did have the donuts ready and they were very good. They took the Wii to the beach so I will probably be having Wii withdrawals very soon, the also got a new pinball game for the Wii as well. I have updated the country jukebox to the right, it now has over 1200 songs in the jukebox. MICKEY

I guess Kyle Busch can take a week off from winning. That is unless he's racing Nationwide.

And now for the rest of the story of the blog picture from Friday taken at Lee's graduation cook-out .The grill -master Mark srartled by CAleb hitting the wiffle ball off Mike's head, allowed a hot dog to fall from the grill to the ground while gathering up the cooked hotdogs.Being the perfect guest, I tried to assist the grill master by picking up the HOT dog which quickly fell back to the ground as it was very HOT.I then picked up a knife and stabbed the HOT dog . Being slightly soiled ,I hosed the soiled items off the hot dog and put it back on the grill. The amazed looked on Mark's face is how this hot dog transformed into a lucky dog.This lucky dog was later unknowingly consumed by a family member whose name begins with "M".That narrows the consuming party to be 1 of 9 in attendance .Since Melanie did not eat a hot dog this narrows the lucky dog recipient down to 8.

i love a good mystery

Further clue-The blog master did not eat a hot dog.Then there were 7.A clue will be given after each entry on this blog.WHO GOT THE LUCKY DOG?

Keith said...

I guess we're safe to rule out Mark, because he knew which dog was the lucky one.

That leaves

Maureen
Maryln
Mike
Mavis
Mema Evelyn

From that list I'm guessing Mike got the dog.

SORRY KEITH---but Mark and I were too smart to allow a marine to eat the lucky dog.We do not like to suffer pain.And you are right about Mark , He knew and did not eat it, Also ,we were to nice to allow auntie or me ma evelyn to eat it since they are the elder statemen of the family /. We would be very upset if they ate a lucky dog only to find out later it was not lucky. That leaves 3. Sorry Keith. Keep in mind as they use to say on hee haw-If it were not for bad luck, some people would have no luck at all
