Fun with Billy

Even though it says on the blog that I have one "follower". Thank you Debra. There are a lot more of you out there. I know this because you have indicated to me that you check daily for new content. Its been awhile since I have posted something new about Billy.

I have received some phone calls concerned about his welfare. Some of you even thought he may have "passed". I am here to put that rumor to an end right now. Billy is alive but he is not well. You see he never has been well...but he is alive.

Just today I took him out for a sleigh ride. He wanted to go to the Amana Hills which the locals will remember is the quintessential location to go sledding. Billy needs to take with him the power pack and that adds considerably to the load. I'm 60 years old ( I know I don't look it) and I'm not up for lugging the lung to the top of the hill just to give him a push and do it all over again.

I grabbed my "zippfilmitz" and a pair of Snookie Sponar's old welding goggles and we were off to Billy's house. You can see a view of his house by clicking here. The Walkie Talkies had a full charge so communication would be intact between the pilot and the passenger. I still have about 30 feet of rope from my mom's old clothes line and we removed the wheels and legs of the lung ........presto ...instant luge. We tied it to the back for my Mercedes 4 Matic ( as you know the Hummer is gone) and we were off on our ride.

Billy thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon, even when we took the corner by the Ronneburg a little too fast and he "whipped" out into the lane of an oncomming car...hey it wasn't that close!

The lung really wasnt insulated that well and after about an hour Billy lamented that he was afraid the same thing would happen to him as what happended to my brass monkey and I knew it was time to get his home.

I'm sure when Billy warms up he will be bugging me to do it again. I'll just have to remember to take my camera next time.

Popcorn fun.

Billy showed me a neat trick he saw on the internet. I'm sharing it here with all you all.

Christmas at Bruceless

We don't decorate a lot at Bruceless. No children in the household...well I guess there is one...that would be me.

We only have one tree and we displayed it in the garage this year in front of the Mr Bruce spyder. It's lights are miniature Beefeater bottles. That says it all since I am a carnivore and enjoy a good gin martini.

Other displays of Christmas include the pink Santa hat on the Jaguar and other subtle hints of the season.

My neighbor evidently dosen't like snow as he erected a sign in his yard for all to see. I really don't think we can do anything about it. If its going to snow its going to snow.

We did make it down to the Tannebaum forest and I got to sit on Santa's knee....I don't think he was amused.

Merry Christmas to all of you that follow Billy's Blog....whoever you are.

New from the nice people at Google

This is just too good not to share with Billy's Buddies. Billy spends a lot of time on U Tube and found the TV transition lady and now he wants to share this new feature from Google. Billy already has it on his cell phone and I suspect we will have pizza delvered a lot more often now.

By the way, give Billy a call over the holidays.....its hell living in a lung. His number 319 GOT LUNG.

Digital TV Conversion

A lot has been discussed about the upcoming conversion in the wonderful world of TV. Billy watches a lot of TV and he has some concerns that his set in his room will not be able to receive the new Digital Signal.I did some research and this clip is so valuable, I decided to share with all you all.
