Last night and this morning, I am wondering why I am so stupid.  Yesterday I was so proud of getting my mower back up and running after a long down time.  So, then I had no excuse but to cut some grass.  Now my back and legs are hurting.  Just how stupid can I get?  I had it made when I couldn’t cut the grass, now I will be cutting all weekend and maybe into next week.
No, I don’t cut my entire place anymore.  Not since the old Farmall 200 tractor quit running a few years ago.  12 acres minus the 5 acre swamp is still a lot of cutting.  So it all went back to nature.  Well, most of it anyway.  I sure miss that five foot brush hog.
I guess I have been stupid since I was young.  I remember way back when I was small, my Dad slapped my rear for something bad I had done, only one light swat.  I was stupid enough to tell him that it didn’t hurt. . .
I have done a lot of stupid things; remember my blog “Fishing for. . . . What?”
I have done a lot of other stupid things in my life, remembering some makes me wonder why I made it this far in life.  Will not go into anymore of them, I am getting embarrassed.
Went to Wal-Mart yesterday to get stocked up, which reminded me of this.  Quite often, they have people giving out samples, passing out information, and taking surveys.  This one guy was taking a survey in the toilet paper section.  He had a package of White Cloud in one hand and Northern in the other and was asking this older gentleman which he preferred.  The older gentleman answered, “Depends”.
 
I try not to remember the many things I've done that are stupid...or make me look stupid! Too many to write about, but at least I've got a lot of good company!
ReplyDeleteI guess that's how we learn, buddy!
Dizzy it might take someone that is losing it to get it. I got it.
ReplyDeleteHJ, I have way too many times I have seemed stupid and way too many times when I really was. Glad I got some company. :)
ReplyDeleteHey Ted, I lost it a long time ago :-0
Don't matter if you remember the "DUH" moments or not. It's for sure your wife , good buddy or family member will and bring it up at an opportune moment!!
ReplyDeleteYep Ben, you are right. Except the ones they don't know about (grin).
