The Wife....aka "Boss" made me take her shopping yesterday since Georgia is having the pre-back to school no tax weekend....i knew there would be some bag toting involved, so I hatched a clever plan to get old Scooter to do most of the work for me...take notes here now.....I got on Farcebook and posted that I was going to have to go shopping and Violet took the bait....(Trying to talk a woman into going shopping is about as easy as trying to get a man to go to a tool or gun store).....well, that meant Scooter was now on the "hook".....He fought the idea at first when he realized what he'd "signed" up for......
He said he was adjusting his glasses...BUT, me thinks he was trying to show me some "Smokin Joe" type love???....

Well, since he knew he was fighting a losing battle, he finally got with the "Program".....
Let me tell you folks....going shopping with a couple of motivated women is NO easy task....they dragged us all over two huge Outlet Malls which were spread out over 50 miles apart.....

.....they made us go into "girly" stores like kitchen supply outlets, women's frilly thang stores, and all those stinky bath and body lotion and potion stores....

It was all that Scooter and I could do to keep up with Abby and Violet....thank God Scooter finally convinced them to give us a break and let us go eat supper.....that was the true bright spot in the day for me and Scooter twisted my arm to go to the Texas Roadhouse grill....he made me eat their delicious chili....a juicy sirloin steak...big plump grilled shrimp...and an Onion blossom.....it was HORRIBLE....

I was daydreaming about riding my Valk up in the hills the whole time, but realized that I would have to suffer through this weekend to buy me some "credits" for sometime down the road....

Hey Brian.....Scooter wanted me to ask you if you'd Certify him as a new member of the "Brian Nicely" Bag Toter's Club??......
