A salute to my favorite veteran

If he had the day he deserved, it would have started out like this


Followed by some time in this


And you can’t forget one of these, in case he got thirsty. A big boy needs a big soda, right?

Of course, no time in the LazyB*y would be complete without some of this. Nay, a lot of this…

And, to keep it interesting during the commercials, some of this….

Of course, after all that, one would need some sustenance…

Definitely possibly followed by this…

Sounds like the perfect day. Alas, my man did not have such a day. Nor do I suspect he will anytime in the next 18 years in the near future.
Chris’ day started out with some of this…

Followed by some of that

A quick lunch of leftovers and then back to this…

And an evening spent doing this…

See why he’s my hero?

    I finally did my post that you tagged me on! I forgot to put on there that I, like you, used to cuss like a sailor though. Thanks to God for washing my mouth out with His word!
