Went to our school's 3rd round playoff game, they lost...but fought their asses off.


My daughter had 2 bball games today. Lost them both, but the first was in double OT. They are actually showing some nice improvement, considering they are playing kids 1-2 years older than them.

Hung with a few friends-cooked food, and watched some TV .... in all, a nice quite day!

fried up some bambi just a few minutes ago. mmmmm, good.

Yup, definitely gotta start hunting. Been talking with some friends that hunt and they pretty much all suggest I start off in the woods behind my house. Get a safety course, get a high-powered air rifle (or tune up my bow), and start plinking off squirrels and rabbits in the woods. This gives me marksmanship and stalking practice, and will give me practice dressing small animals so that, if I do spoil the meat, it's not such a loss as a doe or buck would be. They all skin out the same way, just some are bigger than others.

Gonna have to keep an eye out at the local Walmart near the end of the season and get a new site for my bow, etc....

BTW, really glad to hear about your promotion, Eric. Onya!!!

It's 9:24am. I couldn't get to sleep until almost 5:30am. So far today I've done dishes, picked up the house, done a load of laundry, and hauled the trash container up from the curb. Mom's coming home in 1 1/2 hours.

just got back from a run, and damn do I feel good...gonna go work on some upper body in a bit after breakfast....
what amazing workout you can get (literally) just hanging around in trees at the park...and you don't have to pay an expensive gym fee... 2 birds with half a stone I think

Jackass. Had me laughing my face off with the bird and tree reference. Damn good one, son. LOL.

thank you T_b...

You are most welcome, Peap.

thing is, I get teh feeling he's not kidding....

LOL. Hee hee. When in doubt.

ask her for some ID to comfirm age...

Some work removing paint from deck-success! Will cool it today-then work tomorrow.

Got a haircut, picked up some more stuff to install the amp and subs into the Honda (picked out the Lanzar 50wx2 to run the subs when I finally get there)... and wound up fighting with the two front bolts that hold on the center 'console.' I picked up an actual center console with storage from eBay a few months back, and still haven't been able to get the old one out to get it in. Got one busted and backed out about a half turn, but all the years of funk and factory threadlock are giving me Hell.

Gave up on it (after thoroughly soaking them in PB Blaster)... let 'em cook awhile longer. Probably whip out the Dremel and cut the f00kers loose next weekend.

set up my new car to get a windshild tomarrow , truck tossed a rock and it buss

am happy as hell...I'm back under 200lbs...
down to 194lbs....YES!!!...
Want to get to about 175-180...by end of the school year...
wish me luck

I won't wish you luck Peap as I know you'll make it. You know how to do the hard work, plan well and you have the determination. No problem. Just persistence.

I think I've got mom basically settled at home. She's doing much better with this knee than the last one, that's for sure...I haven't had to help her stand up yet, and she's pretty sure by tomorrow night she'll be able to get into bed without me having to help her. Now if only she could drive so I didn't have to lose so much money taking her to doctors' appointments... (yeah, I know...always looking for the dark cloud around the silver lining, but I cannot afford to lose much more work over this).

Made an ungodly huge shepherd's pie for dinner, but forgot to drain the lamb before I put it in so it's a little soupy...could be worse. Still pretty damn tasty.

Just realized a few minutes ago I haven't seen or talked to the boy since he left for work Friday morning.

Did my first 5 hours of ride time. 3 refusals...woohoo?

What does 3 refusals mean? They refused the ambulance/emts/the service?

had the windshield replaced in my ugly little car




2500 miles and its not a virgin anymore

bloody hell! resize, man, resize!!

No a big fan of The Scion, but i hear they get great gas millage! My Jeep has gone from about 250mp tank to 175mp tank. Its probably something simple like a pump or filter problem, but i have no time to check. The last week or so i have been driving a government vehicle.

15580 and its paid for , 35 mpg and lots of room

Enjoyed my 1st day back to work. Will be nice when paychecks start comming back in.

just now bought tickets for my real mom and stepfather and my son to come down on the 26th ' as well as the limo

Yup - you're right. That's an ugly little car. Sorry Pap... but I calls it how I sees it.

But hey - if that's what you like, and it fits into your plan, Bonus! And that's all that matters.

it is an ugly car till you sit in it , i got over ugly long ago , 35 mpg deleats ugly

pluss i bet it will out run your jeep!

Launched my R2P campaign...
Rise To Potential, then to Perfection...
a team me and a few friends started, to work-out as much as possible. Basicly get as big as possible (no steroids or etc...strictly natural) in the whatever time is taken to get there...
You can always get in better shape...so I figured...hell...what else am I going to do to pass the time?...something worth while...
With hopes...we want to get a site up...Bull if it's not any trouble...maybe you could help us a bit?...

It may beat the jeep, but i can take the jeep more places you cant go! Plus if i want to go fast ill just drive the cuda! Granted it need a paint job and some interior work but it turns a 9.5 quarter mile!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my mini-van would crush that...
3.8L v6 from HELL!!!!

Thats cute! So your a soccer mom now?

I'll race you for pinks in my jeep any day...

I'll even let you pick the course, but I get to chose the finish.

(I get to chose the last 1/4 mile)

AND I'll give you a headstart.

You might want to just sign over the slip now... there'll be less crying and sheetmetal damage that way.

I'm picturing a minivan with a JATO pack on it......

started reading the book War and Peace...damn good book so far... have to read somthing for english class so I grabbed that...always wanted to read it, so why not get a grade for it?

2 birds with half a stone....

I'd love to see that last quarter mile!!!! Let me guess, mountain, rock garden? LOL!

ushay on the ockray ardengay, you.......

Finally saw the boy last night for the first time in days...neither of us can figure out how the hell that happened, but it is NOT going to happen again unless one of us is out of town. Spent all day in bed. Came home, made dinner, messing about online, going back over there in a while for the night.

My bad BK.

farted mightily....

that's how you knoow the chili's goooood.....

Replaced a sink faucet today-required to enlarge opening through marble-different-but successful.

Woke up, got out of bed, ran into the wall with my head. No, not quite but similar scenario with boss. Idjit.

When to sleep at 10am after removing a trojan from the neighbor's computer and slept all the way to time to get to work.

Only 1 month left of school and damn am I tired!!!

and I miss my wife and kids!!! Don't feel like I've spent any quality time with them since August.

You'll make it thru and prosper bull. I have absolutely no doubts regarding your success whatsoever.

Thank t_b. I am just tired of being tired.

I can relate, believe me. I'm sad to see the summer go however, I won't be sad if I don't have to pull any more weeds for a while.

I Hate Work

Upgraded office pc to Windows XP Pro, installed office 2003, upgraded Norton virus scan software to 10.1 SAV, also upgraded memory from inital 128 mb to 384 mb. This is an older Dell, but all seems to work now-was hoping powers would pop for a new machine-fortunately, stuff was free and available.

Got up, came home and took mom to physical therapy. Did not notice as she was trying to get out of the car that she'd wrapped her hand around the post between the open front and back doors and shut the back door. Much screaming and blood, but nothing broken, thank gods. How awful a daughter am I to maim her freaken HAND when she's using a walker because of her knee? Felt like hell all day.

Cannot stay awake any more...think I'm doing one of those bouts with depression again.

not to worry filix , shit does happen and it always happens at the wrong time,trust me on this one
