As a youth I spent many enjoyable evenings at the SKYVIEW but I don’t remember watching the movies. Next take a right on route 37 then a right on Lake Rd. and you may want to stop at Berne Station for some “refreshment”

Lowell Altvater, 80 of Sandusky,Ohio thought he saw a rat in his barn and fired his shotgun at it. It turned out to be his wife's hat, which she was wearing. Everyone was ok and Lowell got a new pair of glasses.(Columbus Dispatch, Nov95)

In 1926 at The Ohio State University Maudine Ormsby was nominated and elected homecoming queen. Only problem Maudine Ormsby was a cow.

100_2801

Wrap your mind around the fact; we now have “Automated laser-guided milking machines”.

100_2802

Ok I will answer the question you have all been asking yourselves; did Maudine Ormsby (the cow) get to go to the homecoming dance? No she didn’t because of her size she was banned to the barn. Maybe that is how the term “Barn Dance” came into existence.

Well after hanging out in the “Fields” of Ohio I am getting a little hungry. Sooo:

Golf—an endless series of tragedies obscured by the occasional miracle. –unknown

GOLF ROAD TRIP NEAR LANCASTER,OHIO

ROAD TRIP

The purpose of this road trip is two fold One, to play 9 holes of golf and Two,find golf balls. Time and Place: Windy Hills near Lancaster,Ohio:::: Monday (chance to find more golf balls after a weekend)

#1

I am a little concerned: am I getting to old to play golf ? I have perfect eyesight and can see where the ball goes but then I can’t remember where it is.

SCENERY1

Looks like a storm is rolling in. This could be the game of my Life. G.O.L.F. Gentleman. Only. Ladies. Forbidden.

SCENERY2

The problem with my golf game is L.O.F.T.  LACK. OF. FRICKING. TALENT. Getting ready to head up that gulley to find golf balls.

scene3

Nine holes of golf with cart, hot dog, coke $20.00. I found about fifty usable golf balls @ .50 cents each =$25.00. Using this kind of math  I have been able to convince my wife Linda that I can afford to play golf. LOL

DSCN0803 Click on picture for a short Windy Hills Golf Video. I would like to leave you with this thought: “It takes longer to learn to be a good golfer than it does to become a brain surgeon. On the other hand, you don’t get to ride around on a cart, drink beer, eat hot dogs and fart if you are performing Brain Surgery !!!!”
