Sounds like Cabin Fever is setting in on the board.  We need to focus more on the positive aspects and downplay the negativity.  The wind will blow snow from your property onto your neighbors and really, how much do you like them anyway?  Dick shouldn't worry about doing his bookkeeping for tax season due to the Federal Shutdown the staff at the IRS isn't working.  What is the worst that can happen if you Fudge on the numbers a little bit or forget to file.  You have an established defense of Diminished Capacity to understand the Tax Codes since everybody knows it makes no sense to be a farmer currently, thus you must be  crazy already.  Another positive aspect  of Federal incarceration is three meals a day, a bed of your own and Free medical and dental care and a chance to further your education.  In regards to the Polar Bear Plunge,  how many of the participants look like anything one would dream about have you seen on TV recently.  There may be a special segment  of our class that fantasizes of seeing Danny in a Speedo but Dave C. wanted  a more family rated posts so it's best to drop this segment at this time.  I'm sure that Mrs. C. limits Mr. C's exposure over the last four decades or so.

Dick K. who told you that I wear speedos now everyone knows ?

Dick Garrelts

Thanks a lot, Dick!  Getting me to visualize Danny in a Speedo means I'll have to get my eyes fixed again.

As for the IRS,  government shutdown or not,  they're always working. That Super Computer they call "The Beast" (mark of the beast) never sleeps. We're all being audited as we speak.  I figure being honest means they'll get a piece of my pie, but if I cheat, they'll take the whole pie.

Farming is my way of not having to sell blood. Many thanks to the Donald for the 1/2 cent corn subsidy that put me in the black. That's what they call "farming the mailbox".  Only trouble is, it's taxable.   Incarceration is beginning to sound better ...

We're all crazy, either for farming, getting married, having kids, living in this climate, or following the Forum.  They still allow Snowflakes to wander around amongst us, so incarceration probably isn't an option for just being ordinarily crazy.

That three squares a day, snack bar, movie theater, dental, vision, and education seems enticing until you consider you'll get more sex than you ever wanted ... So don't cheat on your taxes!

On a positive note, I found a sucker who will trade Chocolate Covered Cherries for Ribeyes.

I attended my first high school wrestling match yesterday. Our son's fiance's son is on the wrestling team for Lincoln Christian. Being this was my first meet, I didn't realize how close arms and shoulders come to snapping!  I found myself wanting to run onto the mat and pull the kid off of the kid on the bottom who's shoulder was distorted to the point where I was aching for him!  My sons didn't wrestle and after watching the guys wrestle I realize now how good of shape they have to be in.  Hat's off to Ron Smith for being on the wrestling team at KHS!

Christmas has come and gone and now the new year is a few days away.  Who would have ever dreamed we would be coming up on 2019 when we graduated???  Graduation seems like a long time ago!

Happy New Year to everyone!  I hope 2019 brings good health and prosperity to you all!

Ron Smith

Joann...

You made me laugh.Actually,wrestling is a relatively safe sport.There are very few injuries with just bumps and bruises and soreness.Having refereed 47 years and working around 75,000 total matches I have only had what I would call one serious injury.Officials don't care who wins the match.Our top priority is that no one gets hurt except maybe their ego.There are rules in place to protect the competitors.A good official is in position to stop  or block a potentially dangerous hold from becoming illegal and getting someone hurt. Wrestlers are trained to start and STOP on the whistle. These kids are more flexible than you think.Also,there are on site appropriate health-care professionals to attend to situations that may occur.

The ones I feel for are the fans who have to sit on those hard bleacher seats for these 8-10 hour tournaments after traveling an hour or two just to get to the site.

Joe Mettenbrink

Thanks for sharing Ron about your son-following you as a wrestler-years later-like father also! A little warmer here-about 40F-not much snow-Kearney had several inches I think-sun today-almost New Years-old one went fast! Happy New Year 2018 to all my KHS friends here & everywhere!

Joann Stengel (Tumbleson)

Ron Smith

Happy birthday to you Anna & a happy new year.

Dave Carpenter

Joann---I enjoyed reading about your experience with Lincoln Christian wrestling.  Sounds like Tyler is a great wrestler.  I know the wrestling coach at LCS and Tyler is lucky to be coached and mentored by that man. Best of luck to Tyler the rest of the season!

Ron---Nebraska High School wrestling is fortunate to have you officiating all those years!  That is very impressive that you have been at it that long.  You have certainly given back to the sport that you love.  Congrats!

Dick K.---Thanks for backing me up on encouraging Danny to keep the G-rating on the Forum.  If Danny starts posting pics in a Speedo doing the Polar Plunge you never know how it will all end.   

Dick G.---Do you know if there is still an opportunity to buy a KHS Rowdy t-shirt for our upcoming Mini on Jan 26th?  BTW, I think we are having rib-eyes tonight.  Thanks for the idea!

Danny---Please tell me you did NOT get a new Speedo for Christmas!

Dave Carpenter

Here's to wishing everyone a happy and prosperous New Year!

Happy New Year!

Baby it's cold outside.

Ron Smith

I was just thinking about this past year.I lost one of my twin brothers July 11th.How I wish I could see him one more time to tell him how much I loved him. Thinking of our classmates Cal and Brenda and how much their family and friends must miss them.Thinking of Pam & Pam and the emptiness they must be feeling with the loss of their husbands.The Jerrys. A happy & healthy new year to us all !!!

Danny Cavenee

Yes Dave I have a new Speedo one side is HAPPY NEW YEAR the other side  never mind ?

Frank Schickedanz

To All  -  HAPPY  NEW YEAR  -  2018 Really was a good year for me  -  The only downside was that I lost a few Friends and Loved Ones of Friends, the BRONCOS didn't really compete - so to speak (but I have not lost faith in them) & I have semi-retired.  I'm sure 2019 will be rewarding  -  I have a few Rib Eyes in the Freezer and I'm planning to play a little more Golf (that four letter word).  I'll keep you informed as to my whereabouts. Just trying to keep up with #1 on the Ribeyes.  I changed my email address on my profile in case someone wants to converse via email.

Dick  -  As of right now I am planning to be at the Rowdy Shindig (weather permitting).  

Ron / Dave  -  It's hard for me but I will be rooting for  the  Chargers  -  Real Hard but I can do it.

Danny  -  Did you have to put HAPPY NEW YEAR in really small font on that speedo  ????  Come on tell us the truth (You Can't Handle the Truth)  -  they should put that line in a movie.  

Sherri - Gary  -  We miss you on the Forum  -  Did Dick piss you off ???  I guess I  better go work in my garage  -  I don't have to go to work  YET.  Talk to you later.  Again  -   HAPPY  NEW YEAR. Talk to you later.

Joann Stengel (Tumbleson)

Would someone please post all of the information on the mini - what time?  Where we are meeting at?  Where is the party after the game?  Or send me a message?  Thank you!

Frank Schickedanz

Joann  -  it's on the 26th  -  just go to Kearney  -  Drive around the Parking Lots of Bars and Sellers of Adult Beverages and try to see if you recognize a Car or Truck of one of your Classmates  -  You'll probably see a few of us at those establishments.  

To All  -  just a quick note  -  I have a new (Temporary) Phone Number  -  it is   817-201-0063    -   it won't be around very long  -  I am waiting for my old office phone to be ported back.  The problem is I can't get my Contacts back for another  4  Days  (just in case some of you were wondering why I haven't been calling).  If I see a  308  Area Code come on the phone I will answer it.  

Danny / Dick  -  Cat Got Your Tongue  -  I expected a rebuttal from you guys.  HAPPY  NEW YEAR  -  Talk to  you later.  (You notice I didn't say Gotta Go To Work).

Happy New Year

There MAY be another meeting so we can get some more info about the festivities.  As it is, this is what we know at this point:

Saturday, January 26 was chosen for Rowdy Nite. Varsity starts at 7:00   This game is also "Dance Night", so not a dedicated 50th Anniversary.

The current Rowdy Section leaders are planning the program.  They also said they will be selling T-Shirts at the game.  

The $300 Rowdy Section sign is now $1,800.  Expect a touch.

The Kiosk may finally get dedicated.

The Scholarship should be announced.  Expect another touch.

Here's our part;  The party after the game.    Let us know your ideas.

I can't believe Kathi said "Baby it's Cold Outside".

Dick Kincaid

Talk about controversial,  Kathi's show tune lyric has gained a new meaning  since it's debut in the 1940s.  Junior High Art instructor Emily Beck's quote of "Getting our minds out of the gutter" may have some relevance here.  The cost of the 'Banner' might indicate that selling Banners is a better investment than IRA's.  

Dick Garrelts

Dick K,  People have been preaching "get your mind out of the gutter" for as long as I remember.  Maybe it's time to try ...  or not.  There's a Rowdy Fest coming up. Maybe we'll start after.

Coffee next week to plan the after-party sounds good to me.  Somebody set a date and time.  Danny has offered CAE again for the festivities, along with "Magic Bus" shuttles to and from the game.

"Original Rowdy"  t-shirts are still available.  3 each in Large and Medium sizes.  They're FREE on a first come basis.  Contact Danny at CAE or stake your claim on the Forum.  We are holding one for you, Dave C.

Strange hours you're keeping, Frank.

Ron Smith

Schick...

Congrats on your Cowboys victory tonight. What a defense !!! We will see how my Chargers do tomorrow.

Frank Schickedanz

Thanks Tiger  -  I really was rooting for the Chargers today  (A LITTLE BIT)   -  I would rather see them win than the Ravens -  hope they beat the Patriots. Too bad for all the Bears Fans  -  they really shoud have won that game.  As we all know  -  "Any Given Sunday".  Talk to you later.

FLS  (Schick)

Frank Schickedanz

Dick  -  How do you know what kind of Hours I am keeping ??  Were you on at the same time  ??  You hit was  #99449   -   How would you like that to come up on a Poker Hand  -  I actually look for that.  Talk to you later.

FLS  (Schick)

Dick Garrelts

I really should take up playing poker. Check this out...

But I know not to play with Schick after you got the 77777.
