A 44 is a Big Gun

Friday afternoon when I got off work I headed to my dentist. I had an appointment to get some cleaning done as well as x-rays. I chew so there was not much surprise that I had a few cavities. I will have to get them filled this Halloween. After that appointment I stopped by the credit union and deposited my coroner and Colfax Fire money. All my Colfax fire and coroner money goes to my college fund. I need about nine hundred each semester to go to school and pay for books. That means I have to tuck away about one hundred and fifty a month. I know I don't do that from the coroner and Colfax fire alone. I will have to make some of it up with my wages.

Around five o'clock I met up with Tory. He has a S&W revolver he is selling. It is a six shot Forty-four magnum. It is a sweet little gun. I look forward to purchasing it. While at Tory's I got a call from Russell. He and April were going out to the Coeur D'Alene Brewing Company for dinner. He asked if I wanted to go.

We went over and sat outside since it was so full inside. I told him the joke...

Joe the auto mechanic decided to further his education and went down to the local community college and tried to sign up for classes. The only one left open was "Deductive Reasoning." Joe asked the Dean, "Just what is this deductive reasoning stuff?" The Dean answered that an example would be easier to understand than a definition, so this is the example that he gave: He asked, "Joe, do you own a weed eater?" "Sure. I've got a nice gas-powered weed eater." "Ok Joe, since you have a weed eater, I can deduce that you have a lawn right?" "Yup." Answered Joe. "Got a nice green lawn." "Right Joe, well since you have a lawn, you must have a house then." "That's right," answered Joe, "just painted it." "Well Joe, since you have a weed eater, a lawn, and a house, I think you're probably married then." "Yessiree! Love my little lady." "Ok. Then I'd also presume that since you have a weed eater, a lawn, a house, and a wife, that you probably have kids as well." "Sure do. Got 2 wonderful boys," answered Joe mystified. "So then if you have a weed eater, a lawn, a house, a wife, and children, I can probably deduce that you are a heterosexual." "Dang straight," proclaimed Joe. "I like this deductive logic stuff. Sign me up for the class." And so the Dean did.

Joe went back to the shop and told Ben he signed up for a deductive reasoning class. Ben asked, "What's that?" Joe replied, "I'll show you," attempting to follow the Dean's example. "Do you have a weed eater Ben?" "Nope. Sure don't," Ben replied. Then Joe said "FAG!"

So, Russell and I had a new way to talking about people without them knowing what we mean. I said now we can say whether someone owns a weed eater or not. After dinner we drove to Hastings. When we got there I saw that the Bon in the mall was still open, so we went there first. In the parking lot, at the end of a row was a awesome looking, brand new Corvette. I told Russell as a joke he should park right next to it. So we did. I was laughing.

At the Bon I bought a fifty dollar gift card and a pair of bright orange and black socks for my co-ed softball team uniform. Russell got some stuff as well. I went to this hair dresser place next door to the Bon. I got blue gel for my hair. I use it when I go to the shows. I have used Russell's in the past. Now I have my own.

We walked over to Hastings from there. I checked out the magazine collection. I saw there were no magazine's I was interested in. From there we headed back to Russell's place. We were going over to a friend's of his. His name is Ben. Ben is a Ten-Six-Seven. Very nice guy. Gracious host. Him and I chatted after everyone left. We talked about computer stuff. He had his computer hooked to his TV and they were playing MP3's through the stereo system. I asked Russell if Ben owned a weed eater. Russell said he was pretty sure he did. What a disappointment. After talking to Ben I went home.
