It was the classic David and Goliath story -- a team of amateur college kids beating the best all-pro team in the world. Although some of the USA team went on to play for the NHL, more of the former USSR team members went on to play for the NHL after defecting and fleeing the Soviet Union.

 Yes Frank, it was a wonderful story to watch unfold as it was actually taking place. Have to admit after the excitement there were some tears watching them as they hugged and the crowd chanting U.S.A., U.S.A.  Then the tears really flowed when their Captain Mike, (don't know how to spell his last name), with the American flag draped over his shoulder was skating around searching the crowd for his Dad. Don't tell anyone, (I have a cool image to portray), but I was crying like a baby  . Wonderful, just wonderful. The movie made about them, Miracle on Ice, was very good but you just couldn't relive the same strong emotions. You just had to watch the real game to feel those.  Now, to the present, WTG, NEW YORK RANGERS!!!!!!! Rangers 3  , Sabres 2 ANOTHER shoot out with the "best" prevailing again. The Rangers are on a roll and that roll is heading straight to raising the Stanley Cup. ;D

Have no fear my friend. You know I will. Besides, summer is just around the corner and I do need a decent lawnmower up at my camp.

But your Tennessee mower would just love it by the water. Besides, I have to give you, my friend, preference because I've known you longer then Frank. ;D After all ,dear friend, what are friends for?

Maybe I should just give up, give you the mower and go buy another one. That way, we could both cut our grass, and I could still pick on ya all I want to! Sounds like a plan. |

Careful Clipper. Your mower could find itself on the bottom of Lake Delta.

 With Bobbbiez on it?? Mowing seaweed might make the trolling for walleye easier. I would not get snagged as often. I can see it all now. "what are those bubbles from?" The other fisherman says, "Hell I don't know. Some of the bubbles smell like lawnmower exhaust, and some of them smell like keilbasa and cabbage farts!!" Must be that lake is "turning over". Hang in there sunshine. I will lower ya a cold one now and then. Just keep mowing.

Hey Clipper, look at it this way. With all that cabbage and kielbasa, no need to troll, those damn walleye be jumping right out of the lake and into your lap ;D and you'd still would be without a lawnmower.

Haha! You are probably right. All I will need is a catchers mitt and a bucket to put the fish in, LOL! People will think you are nuts when you head down the boat launch ramp on a lawnmower with Scuba gear on! hahaha! Be careful farting in that rubber suit though. Ya better have a relief valve built in or you will suffocate yourself with keilbasa and cabbage gas. Kids on the dock asking dad, "why does that lady have a mouthpiece hooked to air tanks on her face, AND a snorkel on her butt???" Dad says " don't worry kids, that is not a snorkel, it's an exhaust pipe!"

Is it the flu that has you falling asleep all the time, or is it that you are just getting to be a narcoleptic old fart?
