    Looking at that rock, I really wish we could get all the engineers on the team together to make a trebuchet! Three questions, how far would it go, how much damage would it make, and how big would that trebuchet have to be? Anyone game to set it up?

    If there is a load you have to bear
    That you can’t carry
    I’m right up the road
    I’ll share your load
    If you just call me
    So just call on me brother, when you need a hand
    We all need somebody to lean on
    I just might have a problem that you’d understand
    We all need somebody to lean on
    Lean on me when you’re not strong
    And I’ll be your friend
    I’ll help you carry on
    For it won’t be long
    Till I’m gonna need
    Somebody to lean on

    What did I tell you about putting the big boulders in the center of the dump truck?
    Chris I really appreciate your style of leadership. It reminds me a lot of what Sam Walton talks about in Made In America. Keep up the great leadership and we will try to keep learning and following. Although we are going to have to watch those big boulders around the corners, those little suckers really jump out at you.

    The National Dump Truck Driver Convention (NDTDC) got underway today led by forerunner Hank “Hard Driving” Willie with this attempt to carry the rock of Gibraltar. When the axel grease mixed with the antifreeze and spewed into the crankshaft/gear piston the result was mayhem. When questioned about the resulting failure of the “HAUL” Hard Driving Hank,(with Phd’s from two major colleges in the area, Drunken U and Greased State Community College.) replied “Whut en Tar-Nation? I taught I had dat’ dern’ ting’ tied down. (slurp) Well… mussa had sometin’ ta do wit da loader. Ain’t my fault…I gess da driver!”

    After seeing and hearing Chris rattle off the things we worry about outside our circle of influence in Saginaw (and other things he talks incredibly fast at) I ran accross this bit of “Rattle” about the often used word “UP”
    CRAZY English language!
    There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word is ‘UP.’ It is listed in the dictionary as being used as an [adv], [prep], [adj], [n] or [v].
    It’s easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP, and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends and we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has a real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think excuses UP.
    To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special. And this up is confusing:
    A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP.
    We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP !
    To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP , look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4 of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions.
    If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don’t give UP , you may wind UP with a hundred or more.
    When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP .When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it wets the earth UP. When it doesn’t rain for awhile, things dry UP
    One could go on & on, about UP, but I’ll wrap it UP , for now …..my time is UP , so time to……
    Oh, one more thing…….
    What is the first thing you do in the morning & the last thing you do at night? U P
    ……….Now I’ll shut UP
    Thanks for your Humor!!

    This is a picture of Pastor Dickie and Mark Huber bringing the Rock of Gibraltar back from a trip to the South of Spain. They only had two problems: First, there was no way that truck was going to make it through the Chunnel; and second, there was no way they could hide it under their wet underwear to make it through customs after swimming in the Mediterranean.
