		Computer Problems I was having trouble with my computer. So I called Richard, the 11 year old next door whose bedroom looks like Mission Control, and asked him to come over. Richard clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem. As he was walking away, I called after him, "So, what was wrong?" He replied, "It was an ID ten 'T' error." I didn't want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquired, "An, ID ten'T' error? What's that in case I need to fix it again." Richard grinned "Haven't you ever heard of an ID ten 'T' error before?'' No,' I replied. "Write it down," he said, "and I think you'll figure it out.' So I wrote it down: I D 1 0 T The sad thing is I used to like that kid.

CONGRATULATIONS JUST A THOUGHT. . . WHEN YOU READ THIS I WILL ALREADY BE BACK FROM MY VACATION. MY MOM, MY SISTER, PAM, MY GRANDSON, MATT AND I ARE GOING ON THE TRAIN TO OREGON TO VISIT PAM'S SON MONTE AND HIS SON, KODY. WE WENT LAST YEAR AND GOT TO SEE THE OCEAN. THAT WAS GREAT. DON'T KNOW WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO THIS YEAR BUT I DON'T THINK WE WILL BE TRAVELING AS MUCH. LAST YEAR WHEN WE WERE THERE MONTE AND KODY WERE LIVING IN A DOUBLE WIDE TRAILOR HOUSE WITH THE FOUNDATION OF A NEW HOUSE NEAR BY. WELL THE HOUSE IS PRETTY MUCH DONE AND THEY ARE LIVING IN IT. SO IT WILL BE FUN TO SEE IT FINISHED. WE HAVE SEEN LOTS OF PLANS. I AM GOING TO MISS TIM AND I MY KIDS BUT I AM REALLY GOING TO MISS PEANUT. I WENT ON LINE AND READ THE RULES FOR TRAVELING ON A TRAIN. YOU CAN ONLY TAKE ANIMALS IF THEY ARE SERVICE ANIMALS. SO I THOUGHT MAYBE PEANUT COULD CARRY MOM'S INHALER. SHE'S NOT BIG ENOUGH TO CARRY ANYTHING ELSE. NOBODY THOUGHT THAT WOULD WORK. I WOULD HATE FOR US TO BE PUT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF MONTANA SOMEWHERE. SO I GES I WILL LEAVE HER HOME WITH TIM. THE GUYS AT WORK ARE GOING TO MISS HER TOO. WHEN I WORK ON SATURDAYS I DON'T BRING HER CAUSE HER AND TIM ARE STILL CUDDLING IN BED WHEN I LEAVE. EVERYONE WHO COMES IN SAY WHERE'S PEANUT. I TAKE HER TO WORK WITH ME EVERYDAY. SHE SPENDS MOST OF THE DAY LAYING IN THE WINDOW SLEEPING AND GARDING HER TERRITORY. MY BOSS, CASEY SAID ONE DAY WHEN I GOT BACK FROM DINNER, HE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ME BRINGING THIS DOG TO WORK ANYMORE. I WAS JUST DEVASTATED. I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO TELL ME I COULDN'T BRING HER ANYMORE. HE SAID WHEN I LEFT, HE PICKED HER UP, SHE LAYED HER HEAD ON HIS SHOULDER AND HE HAD TO HOLD HER THE WHOLE TIME I WAS GONE. SHE'S NOT SPOILED. SHE'S JUST TOO CUTE. I HAD ONE DRIVER OFFER ME $200 FOR HER AND I SAID I WOULD'NT TAKE $2000 ANYMORE. ONE LITTLE GIRL ASKED IF SHE COULD JUST TAKE PEANUT HOME FOR A LITTLE WHILE. SHE SAID, "I WILL BRING HER BACK, REALLY I WILL!" I DON'T THINK SO. I'TS FUNNY HOW ATTATCHED YOU GET TO YOUR PETS. I AM GETTING HER FIXED IN APRIL AND IT PROBLY WILL BE HARDER ON ME THAN HER. I AM REALLY DREADING IT. WELL, WE MADE IT BACK, ALL WAS WELL IN OREGON. I SURE MISSED TIM AND THE REST OF THE FAMILY AND PEANUT. WHEN I GOT HOME PEANUT GOT SO EXCITED SHE PEED ALL OVER ME. I TOLD HER SHE COULD PEE ON ME ANY TIME IF I GET THAT MANY KISSES. JUST FOR REFERENCES SAKE THAT DOESN'T GO FOR ANY ONE ELSE, EXCEPT MAYBE GAVIN. ENUF SAID, JO**

The Game Warden A game warden was driving down the road when he came upon a young boy carrying a wild turkey under his arm. He stopped and asked the boy, 'Where did you get that turkey?' The boy replied, 'What turkey?' The game warden said, 'That turkey you're carrying under your arm.' The boy looks down and said, 'Well, lookee here, a turkey done roosted under my arm!' The game warden said, 'Now look, you know turkey season is closed, so whatever you do to that turkey, I'm going to do to you. If you break his leg, I'm gonna break your leg. If you break his wing, I'll break your arm. Whatever you do to him, I'll do to you. So, what are you gonna do with him?'
