Try this again: BM's Cross-Country Trip Highlights

The band, the Eagles, doesn't like it when common folk use their song for entertainment. So, YouTube "muted" this video.

So, we'll try posting it to Vimeo and see if the Eagles are watching.



BMs XCountry 2016 from Ed McKendry on Vimeo.

BM's Cross Country 2016 has been Muted by an Attorney somewhere in a high rise building because we did not write the song "Take it Easy"...

If we knew who the Attorney is we would send him/her $25.00 to settle the case!

Bird Bath Update!

You may recall that I had a leaky 4 year old bird bath. Well, I did.

So I ordered a new one through Amazon...

They sent me a vertically challenged Bird Bath!

What bird is going to fly that low to the ground for a bath?

So I got inspired and patched up my old bird bath

with Gorilla Glue.

I now have 2, but I'm thinkink I will take the little 

one inside & put a candle on top?

Could be a conversation starter...

So what do you and your friends do on a Saturday night?

So I'm watching the MTV Awards tonight...(aren't they Great?)

And I see that Michael Phelps was an Award presenter or something and he said that
the song he was listening to when he was photograped with the Hoodie & the stare
was 'Future-Stick Talk' and I happen to Love that song!

Although, if I were an Olympic swimmer

I would have probably listened to

a different song...but what do I know...

We went to the Plumstedville Inn today & totally confused the GPS LADY!

Every neighborhood should have a Plumsteadville Inn.

Cousin Tom & his wife Fran had a 50th surprise

Wedding Anniversary today!

The place is in Bucks County so we counted on the GPS

Lady to get us there...

It was not just us! Other people got the wrong

directions also...we even entered the GPS code,

GPS Location: 40.387461, -75.146997

Who knew the code existed?

TJ did!

It is a really good restaurant. Great Staff, very good food and 

excellent Ambience...

I just wish that half the crowd had gotten there before Tom & Fran...

to holler 'Surprise!'

Ended up as a very good Day! 

Philadelphia Politics

Your name is Bobby...Bobby Henon,

You are 47. You spent some time @ Phila CC & decided Community College was not for you.

So you joined Johnny Doc's team & became an Electrician (lol)!

Johnny Doc made you his spokesperson...Johnny Doc

& his Union still pay you $72,000 per year.

Even though you now collect $173,000 as the Head of The Council of 

Philadelphia! You were in Office for one term & The Council

voted you as their Leader!

The Dilemma! The FBI (with blue jackets & plastic gloves)

invaded not only your two Offices, but also the

Offices & home of Johnny Doc & his Sister...

oy vei!

they took out boxes of stuff & put the boxes in a rented U-haul...ugh!

To top it off:

 "Courtney Voss, Your chief of staff, recently hired an attorney to represent her in relation to the investigation."

Your chief of staff has hired Legal Counsel Bobby!?! Duh...

The Pea's advice to you Bobby...take the

SLOW BOAT TO CHINA...

Unless of course you are a Clinton Bundler!

If that is the case, you have nothing to worry about!

"If It Hadn't Been for Love"

More good music stuff...

Baseball is what, like 150 years old?

and now we have a new...

cause célèbres

1. 1:  a legal case that excites widespread interest
2. 2:  a notorious person, thing, incident, or episode

All of a sudden the Fans need to be protected by a net... a Safe Space! Maybe the fans should be required to wear catchers masks & chest protectors?

Oh boy!

Bush only flew over Louisiana in 2005!

But when Obama decides to go sometime this

week & visit the people dealing with 

more flooding, he intends to get

down on the ground!

Old friends get together

get back to your old friend even if neither one of you ever played the Banjo...

From the same Allentown Session...

back to the bird bath theme...

Too rigid looking?

I'm thinking R2-D2 theme here in honor

of the midget that died recently that 

portrayed one of these bots in a Movie

I can't recall.

OR?

A more colorful version of a Bird-Pool?

Anyone have any creative ideas on this? 

After four years, my Bird Bath runneth dry...

It leaks! Holds no water!

The birds that try to bathe or drink from it look over at me

& express a what ??? Pea?

So just last night while visiting Alyce & Paul, Alyce

suggested I use planters to build a new bath.

So I checked out the planters on the property today.

And sure enough, I have enough to build a 

pyramid of planters for a new bird bath!

The larger one first, then the smaller one and 

then a still smaller one, followed 

by the Tray that is currently underneath the big one,

on Top of the smallest one

& I believe I will have created 

a pyramid bath that all of my birds will enjoy

and thank me for!

Stay tuned...

When me & my brothers drove across America I was asked what a Klick is...

https://www.thebalance.com/how-far-is-a-klick-in-the-military-3357005

you think these guys know what a Klick is?

did these 2 ever hear the word Klick?

this guy says he can define Klick...

how about we ask the Captain the question?

What is a Klick?

...took many, many years to get them to play this one...

annie sorta loved it...(lower right corner)

because they play it so well...

a Famous road tripper quote...

Tell me, what does it mean?

Another thing about Road Trips...

You need to have a Planner...somebody that digs into the details. The...

• where
• when
• how 
• and Why

It's sorta like Ike planning D day! But Ike did not have 

Triple AAA, Google Maps nor the Weather Channel.

Your road partners may complain, may ask...

'why are we going here?'

But, you need to sorta stick to the plan.

Unless of course you are confronted with

Pill Boxes!

In that case you need to alter your Plan!

By the way, neither Michael nor Timmy wanted to play cards.

When you do decide to take a trip you need to travel

with a card player...

I am home alone and

The home owners email that their local paper informs them there is a burglar in the neighborhood. They tell me I should lock the door!

BURGLAR...they even sent me a Police sketch!

The dogs got worried when they read the email, jumped up on the counter to gather their treats

and were out the door!

after pooping on the floor!

in case the Burglar came through the front door

they will be back within a half hour I am sure...

you know your gettin up there when...

...the expiration date on your recently purchased box of Pasta says 0425!

Tuscany...how did Kelly manage to score a place in Tuscany?
