I wanted to wish my father as well as the other fathers out there a happy Fathers Day Today..

Sorry dad since there are 2000 miles between us I hope you have a wonderful day..

Once again fathers day is closing in upon us. So it’s time for a fathers day sale at all the area stores and shops. The only question is what in the world to get him.

Of course there are a lot of different possibilities. My father likes to read books, and lately has been into building his own remote control airplanes. He could always use some clothes I’m sure. But it’s about being a cool, awesome gift.

Now if I had some money ($$) I think a good gift would be for Leslie and I to fly up there but that is not going to happen. Not with the rising fuel costs and the surcharges the airlines are putting on these days, and I don’t have enough time to make the drive from Dallas to Seattle.

Maybe a collection of books and a new shirt.. Hmmm I guess I will have to see what is going on sale.

I was thinking what I could do for my dad from Christmas this year. Yes I know it’s only May, OK almost June but you can never start too early right? I was playing around with some ideas that I had of things he would like around his house. First I thought of some cool parts and accessories for his ‘34 Ford Truck. Then I realized that he will have it ready to go and be all painted by the end of summer, so that kind of present wouldn’t really work out for Christmas.

Then I thought about some items for his garage, although he already has a ton of things in there, but he likes to do wood working and building items, somewhat like a hobby. I really think he should make some things and sell them.

But then I thought of something he would probably use all the time, a wine rack. Oh yeah, he would like that. Now I’m not saying or calling him an alcoholic, but he likes to have wine occasionally, and this way he could keep it all nice, neat, organized and ready to go. Yep I think he will like that. Now I just need to remember this great idea later on in the year.

And yes I know fathers day is just around the corner, but I have already taken care of that!
