Santi Ficarnos

Tomato has been cleared of the chargers of making several hundred people sick in the last month or so, and the finger has been pointed at the jalapeno pepper. I knew the tomato would be cleared he is one of the life bloods in the Italian family, with out tomato’s an Italian would starve to death. The nasty little pepper is something we can live without, although I do like Spanish food from time to time. I will have to wait till the all clear is given before I have Spanish food again, I can make it on spaghetti if I have to.

Our yard has been invaded by red wasps, Crash was bitten and had a terrible reaction we had to take him to the vet and get him a shot of benadryl to counter act the sting. So we have declared war on the red wasp in our yard. Two cans of wasp spray and a bug zapper have been put into play, I do not know if it is going to work but we are fighting to get our yard back. The city announced last week that a mosquito with the west nile virus was found very close to us so all of them little blood suckers have to go too. It is all out war i tell you.

Tonight we are throwing some thick steaks on the grill, it is a beautiful night to cook outside, if we can keep the bugs away long enough we might just eat outside too. One bad thing about cooking and eating outside are the bugs. I bough a bug zapper last year and it works pretty good but only controls a small area. The mosquitoes are pretty thick this time of year and some around here carry the West Nile Virus. Sure do not want that. Ok off to light the grill.

Every winter I go to the mountains of North Carolina and ski and ride snowmobiles, this year I have decided to add a snowboard to my winter fun gear. I looked around to find the very best snowboard available and what I found was very exciting. Burton snowboards are the very top of the class and that is the route that I want to go with my snowboards.

Christy Sports is by far the leader in snowboards and other winter equipment and the best thing is the are having a sale right now on the gear we need for our winter adventures. Check out their web site at http://store.christysports.com to get your Burton snowboard or any of the other great items in their inventory.

The weather today is simply beautiful and we are going to take advantage of it, and go to the lake and spend a little time on the boat. I really love this time of year here in Nashville, the weather is nice enough to go to the lake almost every day. I love to go fishing so that is a good thing at least it is to me not sure how the fish feel about it.
