Salute

I am off to the beach to celebrate Memorial Day. It will be a weekend of sitting around and doing nothing but drinking beer for me. I may do some fishing and might do some shrimping definitely some grilling. But I will keep the men and women past,present and future that serve this country on my mind. My oldest daughter has been out of school so I have had her this week. Yesterday we stopped at a store and bought a small American flag and carried it to my grandfathers grave. I like to tell my kids of how it use to be, and about the people they never met. My grandfather was in the navy. He was a drunk and I never was able to really get to know him. We did see him on some holidays and when he was on a sober streak. I figure if he served this country he deserves a flag at his grave.

I BELIEVE IT IS BECAUSE OF THESE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN THAT I CAN SIT AROUND AND DRANK BEER THIS WEEKEND AND NOT BE TOO CONCERNED ABOUT MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IN THIS NATION!


At the top is suppose to be an American flag but I can not get my computer to copy and paste.

Bloger Block

I'm in the middle of a brain freeze. Not from ice cream but from pure blankness of my mind. I have a few blogs i follow. Sometimes when I read them before I write on my blog i want to write about the same thing they talked about. Like Laroos (Are you my life) trip makes me want to talk about the Disney trip I booked last week for me and my kids and the wife. Then Bobs (What about Bob) has a music video that reminds me that I am tring to go to Virgina in July to See Sublime with Rome. But I feel like I should come up with my own thought. Which is where I'm stuck. I don't have a thought. thinking is just to hard for me to do right this minute. I think I am burn out. I think I want a beer. I think 2PAC is alive. I think Elvis is dead. I think i am done.

Oh there it is I am going to ride my 4 wheeler this Sunday. Yes I am part Country. But don't care for the music. It has been a long time since i have Delved into the nasty, sloppy, goo they call Busco Beach. 2 hours from any ocean this place is great for any ATV off road enthusiast. I will let you know how it turns out. I have blown an engine sank my 4 wheeler multiple times and broke an axle at this place. MAN IT IS FUN.

Still here

im still here just busy. All is well. Hope everyone is doing great. I should be able to write a little bit more thursday.

The Early Bird gets the Worm

I have heard this saying for years. And there is some truth behind it. But every time I heard that saying I would always follow with. "YEA but the early worm gets ate." and there is some truth to that also. I have learned to play it both ways. I do think getting started early is the best way. But I say get up look around see which worm is the longest. Make a call and see what kind of worm your neighbor caught. Don't jump the gun. Play the field. We only have one life to live so if you want to sleep in occasional, it should be fine there will be other worms. Bigger juicier ones. Like at the bottom of the tequila bottle.

HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO or how ever it is spelt.

Tee Ball

And I thought my life was good. Then my oldest daughter started tee ball. We had our first game last night. My wife was a soft ball girl and it seems to have carried over to my oldest girl. She seems to enjoy it and she will charge the ball. The name of there team should have been the hornets because if a ball comes toward them they swarm to it. Right now it is who can get the ball. They don't quiet understand the "throw to first" thing. But to watch her is great. I look forward to many afternoons at the diamond.

For an update on my littlest girl she is great. running at 110%. We use to think she was a happy baby but we had know clue of how happy she could be. She is pulling up and trying to step. It want be long before we have to lock up the place.

Explanation

I do not have Internet at my home. Yes I live in the middle of nowhere. We just got good cellphone reception in the last 3 years. So I can only post while I am at work. I try my best to have all my work about caught up before I start playing with my blog. That is why my post some times are spaced. Been having a good run at it though. Carried the baby to Chapel Hill Hospital to meet with a pulmonary specialist. We changed a few things and she is doing great. Me and the wife are having good days and then some bad. We just don't seem to see eye to eye anymore. I know that is not a good thing but we are working on it. I have a hard time understanding how I love her so much. I mean I really do LOVE her. But yet we seem to be so different. I have thought about divorce and how things would be and it scares me. I don't want to be without her. There is no one else that I want, but yet we bicker and bitch every day. WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!! We are not talking divorce or anything but I know it could happen. I have seen it many times. I don't know. I just feel better when I type about it. Just seems to get it off my chest. I know you are tired of hearing my complaints but it does help to put it out there.


On a positive note. Sunday night i ate some greens out of my garden. It makes it worth it once you start been able to consume all the hard work.

I will leave with this,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD

Democrat Or Republican

Wow. I don't get political and this will no way down either party. Well it does one but I will not disclose which one it is.

Me and the Wife where invited to a reverse drawing for a local political group. We have a family member who is running for an elected office. This family member is one who was married into the family under bad circumstances. We really do care for this family member but have to do somethings because of the situation (Its a long story). Anyway, We arrived at this event in causal affair to see some people in suits and some in shorts and t-shirts. that was no problem. Then we ate. The food was good. Then the reverse drawing took place. First off they had the # board behind where they were all standing and you could not see the #s. Second they where suppose to sell 200 tickets and by the time they called out all the open #s they had only sold 162. That was no big deal either. but then they started calling out #s they forgot to take the #s off the board. the tumbler door would not latch so they could not mix the #s up that good. and at one point they dropped about half of all the #s out of the tumbler. It was the most unorganized thing I have ever seen. And these people want to help run a country. They cant run a revers drawing. Oh how I feel sorry for my kids because they will be the ones to catch what is being done now.

Some people may think I am out of line but, There is a very small local vfd close to my house who holds a revers drawing every year. there 300 tickets always sell out and if you don't get yours early you want get one. I know because I did not get one last year. this event runs smooth and is very fun to attend. No drunk lawyers or back stabbing politicians. I think I will vote for the fire chief in this next election.

Following Me

So I was not going to post today. But while sitting in my office chair trying to juggle all my contractors and suppliers I happen to glimpse at the window and there it was. a pink and yellow moth. so i run to the truck and get my nice camera and it is dead. I mean completely dead. so then i get my back up and snap a pic. This moth is not as brilliant as the first one and the pic not as good with the screen back ground but I did get the pic. Nature is just great. Everyone have a great weekend and I will post next Monday if I get a chance.

Life Story

Well how about a little about me. The story of how I meet my wife. The short version. And There she was!!!! The end




No really. Back in 1999 I was in high school dating a girl. We had been together for a while and her mom did not like me. In Sep 99 there was a hurricane named Floyd (If my mind serves me right). Floyd flooded the town that I hung out in. Well I would hang out with a crowd in town that was not from my high school. And on one of those faithful nights with the water still rising there was a girl brought to my friends house that I had never seen before. She was beautiful with that curly red hair. We hit it off and started talking. The reason she had been brought there was because they could not get to their friends house across the creek. After about 3 nights of me snicking a trip to town to see my new friend she told me if you get rid of the other girl I'm yours. That is all it took. The next morning I was on the phone breaking up. (yes I know that is the scum way out) but I was in love and charging 100% to my new girl. She was so perfect. We have been together ever since. We have good times and bad but they are always our times. We have 2 beautiful girls and really do have a great life.

I have this blog to get things off my chest and try to make my relanship stonger with my wife and I figured instead of always typing about the bad how about typing the good also.

Gone like my thoughts

Well the moth was gone. Oh well. I am drawing a blank this morning. Don't really know what to talk about. I have looked around to try to find some off the wall thing to photograph but at no luck. Maybe I will play the lottery tonight. I don't know. Why is Y sometimes considered a vowel. Why not make it a vowel all the time. they made Pluto a dwarf planet. They sent a rover to Mars. Some man took pictures of the earth with a camera and some balloons. But yet Y is stuck in limbo never really know its true identity.
