Day 343~ Libby as Turtle

I found this on my old phone. Yes, that is Libby in a turtle costume.

See you tomorrow.

Day 342 ~ Protesters

Back when I was "taking a break" from my daily phone pic, I came across these protesters who wanted to impeach the President. I had seen these guys before with signs about the President's involvement in Bengahzi. Now, I certainly understand why some people want to impeach the President but I don't think these protesters are going to convince many people when they put a Hitler Mustache on President Obama. People don't take you seriously when you call them Hitler.

See you tomorrow.

Day 341 ~ Matthew's old job

 Matthew got a new job, closer to home so Karen and I don't have to drive so far in order for Matthew to go to work! I took a picture of Matthew's old job place, on the day we went to pick up his last pay check. He was there for four years so I know there is a bit of a transition to his new job but it is worth it because instead of driving 30 minutes we now only have to drive 5 minutes!

See you tomorrow.

Day 340 ~ Christmas Too Early!

I went to Michael's Craft Store to buy some feathers for a Jr NYI game (JR NYI is a kid's club at church) and I was annoyed to see all the Christmas stuff out now. I bet it has been out since October. It's enough to make a man say Bah, Humbug!

See you tomorrow.

Day 339 ~ Me with a Football

Knute Rockne?

One of the good things about losing my phone is, by using my old phone, I get to see a bunch of pics that I forgot about which I left on my phone. This is a picture we took at my wife's aunt's house. If you know me at all, you know that I can NOT play sports but it's fun to pretend, I guess. This picture is fitting because my wife and I just started watching the show Friday Night Lights which is about Texas High School Football. We love the show!

See you tomorrow.

Day 338 ~ Bummed- I lost my phone!

my old phone is back in use

I don't know where I lost it, but my phone is gone. I think I might have placed it on a counter at the airport while I was buying coffee or I dropped it somewhere. So I am using my old phone again. It doesn't take as nice pictures but it'll do. I also can't find my watch....go figure!

See you tomorrow.

Day 337 ~ Honor Society for my Son!!

Because of Daniel's excellent grades, he was accepted into the PHI THETA KAPPA Honor Society.
He just received his package in the mail today.  Congratulations to Daniel!

See you tomorrow.

Day 336 ~ Car Trouble

In mid-October, I had to get my car inspected and it turned out, in order to get the Check Engine light to go off, I needed a new catalytic converter. Well, after I drove for 20 miles the Check Engine light came back on. Mike, my mechanic, ran the codes through his computer and it turns out the catalytic converter he put in was faulty. So, here is a picture of my car sitting in his lot, waiting to get fixed.

Turns out the 2nd new catalytic converter is good but now a light went out for another reason.(coolant code and O2 sensor code)...go figure. Mike says to wait the two years before the inspection is due again so he can take care of the Check engine light. Oh, the joys of owning a car.

See you tomorrow.

Day 335 ~War Memorial

One of my friends sent this picture to my phone, thinking I could use it on my blog. I sure can!

It is the War Memorial in Manchester, NJ.

See you tomorrow.

Day 334 ~ Free Meals for Vets!

Applebee's always has a FREE MEAL for any Veteran's so Karen, Matthew, Daniel and I went out for an early dinner. Good thing we got there at 4pm because just one hour later, the place was packed! I had a steak with a baked potato.The waiter must have realized that Karen was keeping the Home fires burning 
while I was deployed to the Gulf in 1990 because she got a FREE MEAL, too!

Thank you, Applebee's

See you tomorrow.

Day 333 ~ Marine Flag

My father-in-law is an ex-Marine so, in honor of Veteran's Day coming up tomorrow, he put out the Marine Flag. I guess once a Marine, always a Marine. 

He kept it attached to his fence with clamps and clothes pins.

Semper Fi.

See you tomorrow.

Day 332 ~ Discount for Marathon runners

I saw this sign at the Airport where I work. It was in front of a coffee shop that serves pretty good coffee. This was up right after the New York City Marathon took place and the store, called Vito's wanted to reward all the runners who finished the race. Pretty cool, eh?

See you tomorrow.

Day 331 ~ Rebel Car

Driving around with my son Daniel, we saw a truck ahead of us with an American Flag and a Confederate Flag with  Jersey plates. For the life of me, I  can't understand why he'd drive around like that up here in the North....maybe because he's in SOUTH Jersey.

See you tomorrow.

Day 330 ~ Shoe Train

 Last Sunday, after Children's Bible Quizzing, I was hanging around talking to some teachers and parents and, as can be expected, kids played around the church while we talked.  I went into the nursery where I saw all these shoes lined up and and I asked one of them What is this? The girl told me it was a shoe train.

Of course it was. What else could it be?

Kids are great because they always look for ways to entertain themselves. We can learn a lot from them.

See you tomorrow.

Day 329 ~ Light at the end of the tunnel?

My friend, Bobby G, sent this to my phone....chuckle, chuckle, chuckle....

See you tomorrow.

Day 328 ~ Monmouth Battlefield has gone to the Dogs

Our dogs haven't been out in a while because of Karen and I's schedule so when we both were off on the same day, we decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and take the dogs to Monmouth Battlefield State Park. They put up a new building there which, quite frankly, is an ugly eyesore. In that building they got theater seats facing the battlefield (for the re-enactments, I suppose.) Dumb idea, I think.

So we are responsible dog owners and clean up after out dog. I guess We are supposed to carry the waste with us all day.

 We let Margaret off leash for a little bit and she loved it. As you can see, she likes chasing after balls we through. Karen complains that she throws like a girl, which is alright for her. Sadly, the same can be said for me.

 Libby loved to sniff and was having a great time!

We kept her leash on while she ran so we could grab her quickly if we had to. She is a big chicken and didn't venture to far away from us anyway.

We had a great time and hope to do something like this again soon, even if we do hate the new building they put up.

See you tomorrow.

Day 327 ~ YES, I'M BACK ~

On Sept 17th, I said I was taking a break from My Daily Phone Pic because I was just about to start my new job at the TSA and I still had a month left on my Medical Billing and Coding Course. I said that after I finished my course, I'd be back so HERE I AM! I thought the best way to celebrate my return is with a goofy selfie. I help teach a class at church for Bible Quizzing for kids and, for some reason, this cut out was in the fellowship hall so I had one of the kids take my picture.  Looks nice, eh?

I did well on my course overall. The grades aren't back yet but I know I at least got a "B" even though I've been carrying an "A" for the entire course. The last week's three hour test was a tough one but we'll see how I did.

So it's good to be back....only 38 more posts to complete my year long project!

See you tomorrow.
