Homemade Phone Arm Band

I went for a 9 mile run in 12 degree weather today. It was my longest run I've done in years. I've been doing 8 mile runs on the treadmill, but I just couldn't bring myself to do 9 miles on a treadmill. I don't usually bring my phone with me on a run, but today I figured it would be safer to bring it since it was so cold, and I didn't really know the neighborhood. As most of you know, I do NOT have the direction gene. Well, I couldn't put it in a pocket as it would jiggle up and down with every step I took so I MacGyvered up an arm band for it out of duct tape and velcro. My Marketing Department (Jay) decided it needed to be branded.








It's all good.

70 years ago...

While drinking beer in Marquette, we found a reprint of a tourist magazine from the 1930s. It had pictures of Model T cars and women wearing bathing suits that wouldn't qualify for even Ray to consider them "Summer Fashion". The ads were facinating. Pardon the picture quality. Taking pictures in a dark bar on macro isn't easy.







$7.00??? Outrageous.
You can buy an acre of land or spend one night here. Gee, let me think...

Sammut's dream. Uuummmm. I mean the one above, not below.

Oooo. Cheap AND fireproof.

Notice, they cater to Gentiles.

Contest: Where did I go skiing over break?







Uhhh, yeah. Any reason why they didn't use a few more inches of pipe in the wall?

By the way...

This guitar is real.
