Whole-La

Quick note to welcome myself back from PV. Good times and gradually decreasing pain!

Went golfing today. Yes.. 18 holes on a record setting heat day. (for a good cause)

A bathroom leak while we were gone has ruined part of the wall in the bathroom and some of the laminate flooring in the hallway.

We got a new couch. It's big. One piece (it's a 4 piece sectional) does not match the others. We waited 6 months for this couch and now we have to wait for a furniture inspector to come confirm it's not all right. Will we have to wait 6 more months for the right piece? It's very nice and cumfertibel.

Rock Band came out for the Wii. We'll put on a concert and invite you.

Why is Rob not in the recent Mattress World commercials? It's been just Sherry. I hope everything is OK.

Why does the word "pupil" seem so strange. Why does it have 2 totally unrelated meanings?

Feelin Bad

I haven't been here for a long time. My wife told me this. Sometimes I find it hard to write to myself. I obviously amuse myself, but I can do that anytime, anyplace. Maybe I go in spurts about my INCREDIBLE PASSION for this blog.... :)



Happy Banana Split Day! BSD!




Thanks Banana Ben! Thumbs up to you as well! Yeah!


Today is also 6/7/8. For that I give you a BIG 9/10/11..... hmmph


Sorry, feelin pretty tired tonight. I've had some pain for an entire week and decided that I needed to take care of it at 0430 this morning. Oh.. wait.. that wasn't me. Musta been a bad dream... ( yeah, i got off work this morning )


Today I had issues with freeway mergers AGAIN. I know... I can only say this so many times... Onramps and Offramps are designed l o n g for a reason. If I'm not mistaken, this is so you may excelerate or decelerate to the appropriate speed without disrupting the current flow of traffic. Did I mention that merging traffic does NOT have the right of way? .... sorry done for now..

Josh shaved his head. We finished the wall. Thank you all that assisted. It costs too much to fill the Dino-Mobile. We are getting a new couch. We're going to ride quads tomorrow. MarioCart is pretty fun. The Dark Knight is looking pretty good. Brownes Towne Lounge in Salem has Wii on projection screen. Phil got a 4-wheeler. Sometimes there's nothing we can do.. that's life.

Purple Tounge

My wife planned and executed an awesome couples baby shower for Bustin. (Beth and Dustin) I think everyone had fun and Bustin got some cool stuff. Cool gifts included the Mike and Angela Diaper cake and Marys interview questions.

I couldn't sleep last night so I turned on the TV. I was fortunate enough to see a reality show featuring Denise Richards. OK, maybe fortunate is not the right word. I really could do without knowing about her private life. Watched it anyway.


National Grape Popsicle Day! Keep on a suckin!

BL Lime is pretty good. Reminds me of Mexico. Spud Bros Pizza was good. It's by Target.

We got Guitar Hero 3 yesterday. I'm hitting about 90% on the easy setting. It is very stressful and the songs are great. I'm a little irritated how much a 2nd guitar costs, but it would be fun to have 2 paople play. They don't make Rock Band for Wii yet, but when they do I will start playing Rock, doing drugs and gettin all the chicks up in here!......

Took another 50SqFt out of my yard today and offloaded a yard of gravel into the trench. Probably lay some more stones Friday.

There's your update

Woo! I Mean Wii

I need a break so I thought I would type. So far today I have gone for a run, strength trained and Hoola Hooped!










Actually, I went out and got Wii Fit today and am trying to master everything. Unfortunately it appears I have terrible balance and wobble too much. (but I don't fall down!)

I gotta give a shout out to my Yoga instructor for being so patient with me. She asked me if I tripped very often. What's that supposed to mean?

Alls I'm sayin is that Archie may win AI, but Cook is gunna be a star.

Happy National Strawberries n' Cream Day!

Well, back to my step aerobics class!

I like Beavers and Racoons!

They both have tails, right? Tall tall tales.... (thanks for calling Josh)

Persistant Megan found us a Wii! We play alot. I went pro on bowling. Then not pro. Actually I'm no good. Megan always wins. Sometimes I cry. Life is good!

I want to thank Dad, Mel, and Seth for putting my up my new retaining wall in the front yard. Thank you Denise, Megan and Kathy for doing everything else while we were acting like we knew what we were doing....

K.. See ya

Dirt Don't Hurt

I Roto-tilled the front yard today. I wonder if the dirt gets irritated. It's just sittin there minding it own goshdarn business, when.... BAM! Blades slice through it's skin and toss it's guts all over the place! When the dust clears, all that is left is a tragic brown landscape of what used to be a thriving lawn eco-system. Displaced worms and orphan dirt clods reel from the destruction of the TillMaster 9000. :(

Since Roto sounds like Robo, remember the first Robocop when the guy gets covered in Toxic Waste? Then the car comes through and.... gross.

The Cake concert was alot of fun last night. They basically sound the same live as on CD. They are certainly not shy about expressing their environmental views.....

It's National Nutty Fudge Day. Fut Nudge it, that sounds good.

Our Explorer has a low fuel warning. It didn't work this morning at 1:30 while driving down I-5. I knew I was low, but I was waiting for the warning so I could see how many miles I could get on the tank. It didn't even sputter, just died.

The good thing is that my Gaurdian Angel really likes Cake, so he was riding along with us. The car died at the exact last moment I could take the Woodburn exit. Somehow I had just the right amount of momentum to go up the ramp, run the red light, hang a rosco, coast to the next rosco, round two more corners and end up stopped right next to the Unleaded pump at a 24 hour gas station.

After the nice gentleman filled the car, he told me I needed to start riding a bicycle to save gas.

As we parted ways and I drove off into darkness leaving the fueling station in my rearview mirror, I couldn't stop thinking about something the Petroleum Insertion Specialist said to me....
"Well, you have enough gas now.."

Yes, service attendant, I do. I have enough gas now.... thank you

sleep deprived, out
