It's Your Face

I meant to ask this weeks ago.

What 3 things in this world puts a smile on your face?

Mine are in no specific order:

1) Seeing an open for business Kool-aid stand (especially when I'm thristy)

2) Hearing the 429 in my truck purr right along ,while driving through the snow sheds on our trans-canada highway in the Rogers Pass, while pulling the trailer without effortl

3) Thinking of all the great things I did while I was a kid.

That smell in the early morning, before the sun pops up, right after a rain.
It may sound strange, but other people laughing, it is...the elixir of life!

Mine in no particular order are:

- My cats (they are hilarious)
- My wife (I can't believe the things she does sometimes)
- Reading things on here (you guys make me laugh out loud ALL the time!)

Well,right now YOU are!Let me explain while going over your three things.
1)I can relate to this one and ohhh the big dreams of all the things we were going to do with all the money we made selling lemonade!

2)In Michigan some of our snowmobile trail groomers are kept in garages that are called,,,snow sheds.So here I am envisioning your little avatar guy behind the wheel of your truck,pulling a trailer,and blasting through snow sheds!

3)See 1.Also,the look of a little kid at the Dairy Queen eating a banana split that to them is HUGE!

Three?
1. The laughter of my children when they think I'm not listening.
2. Listening to the stories of the elderly when they get that twinkle in their eyes and start off with "Way back when-" And they smile as they talk with that dreamy look like they were seeing it all play out as though it were happenning right that moment.
3. Feeling the sun on my face. I used to call it nature's kiss on my cheek.
I know. Kind of wishy washy. Oh well.

1) Being pet. (Not in a perverted way, more like how a cat likes to be pet)
2) Making my girlfriend happy in whatever ways I can.
3) Putting self proclaimed "bad-***" punks and their ricers in their place.

1. Any healthy sounding engine, ANY.
2. My 60 mile commute in the morning (NO, I'm not joking either.)
3. Listening to a good LIVE band somewhere.

Hey Triton, thanks for letting me know I'm not the only person who does that in the Windsor tunnel.
