Weekend at Bernie's situation where 2 old guys in NY wheeled their dead friend & tried to cash his $355 Social Security check.

So damn hot in here…..Is that suppose to make us more productive??
Sedi and I went skating last night...the best workout so far I've had skating....there was anywhere betwen 5-20 skating...giving me plenty of room to actually work on my skating ability...long ways to go before this summer's hockey league.

FYI: DO NOT WEAR a dress shirt under a sweatshirt...otherwise you will be picking lint off forever....

NO SLEEP…and not for the right reasons…..dragging ….is this day over?

Schooled Sedi the first game of Shuffleboard down at Zimm’s…then he brought his game back and that was the end…..Then he took on Amy and wasn't very nice with her...as he continued to show who is the big deal in Shuffleboard.

Blacken Jamaican Jerk Chicken Salad is SASSY…down at Buzzard Billy’s.

Can't wait to see the blog Jona's doing for school.

Tata Motors rolls out $2,500 car

Finally something I can afford and look cool in..... more information here. ...did I mention 54 MPG.

Deep Thought of the Day: Fear can sometimes be a useful emotion.
For instance, let's say you're an astronaut on the moon and you fear that your partner has been turned into Dracula. The next time he goes out for the moon pieces, wham!, you just slam the door behind him and blast off. He might call you on the radio and say he's not Dracula, but you just say, "Think again, bat man."

Why does it feel like Saturday ...because of the holidays gone bye?

This was actually in the Des Moines Register ...totally something my mom would do, except I probably would have been killed.


My grandfather turns 85 on on Saturday...amazing how he doesn't need glasses, he drinks straight from the bottle.
Pool League starts in two weeks...

Ron White next Saturday...
Maybe some skating tonight.....

Deep Thought of the Day: When the chairman introduced the guest speaker as a former illegal alien, I got up from my chair and yelled, "What's the matter, no jobs on Mars?" When no one laughed, I was real embarrassed. I don't think people should make you feel that way.

How about those Cowboys !!!!! One more obstacle left…..

We ate @ J. Benjamin's south of Merle Hay Mall last night….I didn’t think we had time since the game started at 7:15….guess what, I was right….but there was 8 of us…..and we still had to drive to Prichard’s in Granger …… The sweet thing is he TiVo’d the game or something similar so we actually caught up to real time at halftime….it was nice skipping commercials the first half…..and of course the best team won!

For those that don’t know…they are bringing Knight Rider back to the small screen….very soon…..mostly everything is new….The Hoff is suppose to cameo in the new Knight Rider pilot before the series kicks off…..The new KITT

Oh great the car I’ve been trying to get the last year, now everyone is going to want one…..except I was going with a convertible..... 550 HP Ford Shelby GT500KR Mustang !

Oh boy do I not want to be here!!!!!! In fact I think I'll go home tonight....been a few days.

Amy H ...colored her hair...OM MY GOD what a mistake....kidding...looks really good...kinda insecure about it.

Should be a quite weekend….especially if we have the winter storm they have been talking about for tomorrow.

Deep Thought of the Day: A clean desk is a sign of a cluttered desk drawer.

When the man at the auto repair shop told me that it would cost $1400 to fix my car's air conditioning, I just laughed at him and said, "I can fix it myself for a whole lot less than that!"

MY MOMMA DIDN'T RAISE NO FOOL !!!!!!!

Yesterday at 4:15pm I received a call from Rick and he says that a calf fell down into a drain pipe out in the field, I’m like there isn’t one big enough for a calf to fall into……He goes on explaining there is and there is a calf standing at the bottom. So when I get home he’s coming up to help me get it out. That calf was extremely lucky that Rick even was out in the field and heard it bellowing….
I’ve done a lot of different things growing up on the farm and this isn’t one of them, until yesterday. FARM RESCUE 911
Rick and I was joking before we pulled it out and was like this would have made the news and I could totally see a crane and about 20-30 people out here giving there advice on how to pull it out…and I’m sure PETA would have been out here too!
The hole was probably 8-10 feet deep, I ended up getting a laureate around the calf’s body and Rick and I pulled it out of the hole. It probably weighed 200-300 pounds…


Look closely and you can make out the calf, it has its head sticking in the drain pipe, little shorter probably would have walked through it and drowned.


Sorry no action shots as the photographer (me) was busy pulling the calf out. After the calf was out, you could tell it probably had been down there for a couple days. It couldn’t wait to eat some grass; it had plenty of water down there. It was also totally exhausted, I let it set there for a few minutes, if you look close at the picture the hole is right behind it. I didn’t want it to fall back in. After a few minutes rest, I made it stand up and walked it up to the rest of the herd. Chances are its mother has forgotten it, so it would be weaned. It’s old enough to take care of itself now anyway… LUCKY ANIMAL!!!!

Did I mention MARCUS is back in the states!!!!
The Ironman Battalion is now safely at Fort McCoy, WI.
The welcome home ceremony will be on 25 July at the River Front Baseball Stadium in Waterloo.

After the calf rescue…Mark and I worked on the bus….We got the air jammer/shield, tire rack, the rear deck, new table inside(someone broke the other one…..), and the new external speakers on. Going to do more work tonight; new stereo, rails, bike mounts, and probably some cleaning…..RAGBRAI is almost here!!!!!


Saw my first Smart Fortwo car in Des Moines yesterday, some lady was at a stoplight...dinky car!

Deep Thought for the Day: If you fall down in a hole, don’t fret it. Chances are you’re not coming out, unless the planets are aligned and you can bellow.
