one hour obn no where bike and just finished.

[Guest guest]

I listen to my Bose radio while riding my no where bike. have to keep

flipping through the different stations so I can stay in the groove. wish to

tell you about a song I heard while riding up the trail and spent the rest of my

ride thinking on the meaning of it. was a bull frog, was a good friend

of mine, couldn't understand a word he said, but helped him drink his wine and

you know he had some mighty good wine! So this made me think about a guy sitting

on a log having a friendly talk with a bull frog and drinking a bottle of wine

that they shared. how did this happen? I figure there was a fellow who was a T 2

diabetic and he was in very bad shape. he was weighing in at 4 bills and his A1C

was close to 20. his Triglycerides and cholesterol was out of the roof! his wife

had left him and took the kids. he lost his job because he felt so sorry for him

self that he couldn't make his self go to work, so they fired him. the wife got

the house when she slide for divorce and he was living in a old falling down

cabin his folks owned out in the country that was in bad shape and needed tore

down. but he didn't care any more about him self and wanted to die. So he is out

walking around in the woods looking for the right tree to hang him self from

that will hold his 400 pounds up. he has only walked maybe 100 yards away from

his cabin before he falls on the ground be side an old log. he is so tired and

can't seem to catch his breath. he is hotter then a hot cast iron skillet on the

open camp fire and he wasn't thinking about water when his mind was set on a

tree to hang him self from. now here he lies on his back with his tongue hanging

out and his eyes bugged out panting like a dog! now over here sitting on a log

by the creek is the bull frog. has been watching the fat guy

since he left the cabin. was watching him walking with a rope over his

shoulder and wondering what the man was up to out in the heat this day?

could tell the fellow was way over weight and feeling bad enough to stop living.

knew this look because a few years back he felt the same way.

him self was a very fat bull frog and he had his eyes on a cute little lady

frog. he ask her out on a date to sit with him on a log and enjoy the nice warm

evening with some sweet red wine? well the she frog turned him flat down because

she said he was way to big and she was scared he wouldn't be much fun being so

large. she said he ate to much and couldn't do bull frog fun things because he

always ran out of energy to fast. she told him if he was to lose some weight and

get in shape that she would go out on a date with him and help him drink his

wine. Well got motivated by this promise from the she lady frog and

done the very thing she ask him to do. he got in shape and it changed his life.

and the she frog were married now and had a pile of baby she frogs and

bull frogs in the area. Now was recalling all this as he was watching

this fat man on the ground to tired to move and very much in need of a drink.

Now the bull frog knew this guy had to be motivated in to losing some

weight and getting control of his life so he could join the living again and

feel good about him self. so goes over and finds a hole with some water

in it not far from where the fat man is laying. the bull frog puts

something in the water that turns it to wine. I'm thinking he may have just pee

peed in the water and that was what changed it to wine, but we all have to

decide on our own what it was he added. well knew he couldn't speak

human language, nor could the man understand bull frog language. though

was a thinking bull frog and was to figure out how to get the man's attention,

so the bull frog found a shell by the creek and filled it up with his

home made wine. then he took it over to the man on the ground and poured it in

his mouth. Well this got the man all excited and his tongue really liked the wet

taste of the mighty fine wine. he focused his eyes on the Bull Frog and couldn't

understand how or why this bull frog knew he was in a grate need of water or

wine? the bull frog went back to his hole of home made red wine and got

another shell full for the man and once again poured it in his open mouth.

done his ten times and soon the man sat up and looked all around.

stayed by the man and thought on how he could get him to understand

that was his friend and understood why he felt like giving up on life.

the bull frog kept looking over at the hole and back at the man. then

the bull frog ran over to the hold and looked back at the man.

got one more shell full of wine and took it back to the man. the man took it

from and drank it. this was enough to convince the man to get up and

walk over to the hold that was full of mighty fine wine. the man got down on his

belly and started to suck up the wine like a dog. he and the bull frog

layed side by side and sucked up the hole of mighty fine wine until it was dry.

by this time they were both quiet drunk from all the wine and rolling around to

and fro in the grass laughing there silly heads off. the man forgot all about

why he was out in the woods with his rope after partaking of 's mighty

fine wine. he and both passed out right there be side the creek and

slept the sleep of kings. the next morning the man went back to the hole to

drink some mighty fine wine for breakfast. you know? the hair of the dog will

make you feel better after a night of to much wine. well the hole was empty and

the man wanted it to be full of wine, but he had no way of telling the bull frog

this so he would understand. on the other hand knew what the

man was looking for and why he wanted more. the bull frog knew he had

some mighty fine wine and he also knew he could use his mighty fine wine to

convince the fat man to do what he needed to do in order to have more. now

the bull frog must explain in language that the man can understand how

he too use to be big and fat and felt sorry for him self because of it. so

jumped up and ran around gathering up lots of grass and leaves to tie

around him until he looked 4 times his normal size. then he slowly walked about

in a kind of drunk way in front of the man. the bull frog was trying to

show the fat man how he use to be fat and how it took all his energy to just go

from here to there. then the bull frog went and got a lot of frog food

and ate so much that he fell on the ground. then wrapped more leaves

and grass around his belly and made it bigger. then he ate more frog food and

repeated the same thing 4 or 5 times until finally the fat man understood that

the bull frog was telling him that he use to be a big fat bull frog!

the man patted his own belly and then pointed at 's big belly and back

at his own belly. Now man and bull frog are understanding one another. now the

man looked at like, well why aren't you still fat like that?

the bull frog jumped up with all the grass wrapped around his belly and started

doing bull frog exercising. jumping up and down, doing cart wheels, swimming up

and down the creek and he even showed the man how to eat smaller portions and

not all that was there to eat. now the fat man is starting to learn bull frog

talk. he pointed at the bull frog who has removed all the grass tied

around him and then at the hole where the mighty fine wine was and back at

. so the bull frog points at the fat man, then at him self who

is back to normal size and back to the fat man again. once again the

bull from starts doing all the exercises again that he had done earlier. then

when he is finished he points at the fat man's belly and back at his thin self.

now the man has figured out what the bull frog is telling him. then

the bull frog points back at the fat man's belly, then to his own small

belly and then at the hole where he puts just a small amount of water in and

turns to some mighty fine wine. the man can't get over there fast enough to lay

down and suck the hole dry! the man jumps up and demands more mighty fine wine

to be in the hole once again! the bull frog shakes his head real slow

no! then the bull frog jumps up and down a few times and then swims up

the creek and back one time. he runs over to the man and points for him to do

the same, so the man trys. he can only jump up and down twice. he swims up the

creek one time, but is to tired to swim back, but he waits just a bit until he

can catch his breath and then swims back down the creek to where he started.

the bull frog is so impressed and happy, that he runs over to the hold

and mixes up a bit more mighty fine wine. the fat man runs over again and throws

his fat belly on the ground and once more sucks up the mighty fine wine. the fat

man has got the idea now and 3 times that day he done some exercise for

the bull frog and all 3 times made him some mighty fine wine to drink.

so now you can see how the fat man got I by 's mighty fine wine?

was a very smart bull frog and he knew the fat man could get in shape

and it would change his life. the bull frog was I by a sweet lady frog

and he took the weight off in order to have a date with her. that I might add

led to marriage and lots of little frogs jumping all around. the fat man that

had been 400 pounds was I by 's mighty fine wine and he took the weight

off with exercise and his reward was some mighty fine wine. he got well, he got

his wife back and his kids. his dog and his truck along with his home all came

back to him because of the bull frog. we all are I by something or some

one. doesn't really matter what or who, what matters is we get started and we

may reward our self every time we reach a small goal. It's like me for example.

I got this grate big tall mountain of bad choices that I made for years. now for

the past 3 months I'm starting a brand new mountain from the dirt of the bad

mountain. the mountain on the left is still very small compared to the one I

built for many years on the right, but slowly that huge mountain of bad choices

is coming down and being replaced by another mountain of good choices. the

difference between my 2 mountains right now is 25 pounds of good choices over

here on the left, very small compared to the mountain of 110 still to tare down,

but I will tare it down and you will only then see one mountain and not 2. it

took me a lot of years to build the mountain of bad choices and it will take a

while to tare it down and replace it with a mountain of good choices. the key is

I have all ready got started rebuilding my mountain of grate choices. I'm 3

months in to the rebuilding plan. it doesn't happen over night and it is a lot

of hard work, but once the new mountain is finished and I can't see the old

mountain of bad choices any more? what a celebration party that day is going to

be! the mountain of good choices is what is motivating me. the fat man in the

song was I by 's mighty fine wine. what is your motivation????
