Black Friday

  • This is quite possibly the last Friday that I take off this summer. Things are starting to get busier at work and so will we.
  • I absolutely LOVE the British Open. The conditions make the course such a challenge, much like Texas esp. Lubbock. There was a 1:06 delay because the golf balls were being blown by the wind as they removed their markers. If I had a dime...
  • Tiger's pissed.
  • Wonder why they call them sandwich buns and not hamburger buns? They make hot dog buns.
  • And why do they call it hamburger? Why are they called hot dogs?
  • I'll be happy when the Musers return to the Ticket next week but at the same time I won't be able to listen very much.
  • If you were to make a quick 3 or 4 day trip in Texas, where would you go?
  • I would be very nervous interviewing in front of a committee like we did this week. Very large table and 9 people asking all kinds of questions. Spooky.
  • I went for a run this morning and the heat broke out. In a big way. Feels like 75 my a**.

Total Randomness

  • I looked up at the calendar on Thursday only to realize it is July. Seriously? The summer time is just flying by.
  • I love this rain. It help off long enough for Cliff and I to get some fishing in, only had 7 keeper crappie and a stray catfish. Cliff said he'd eat it so I chopped them all up and gave him the lot of em.
  • Twins won again last night, hanging on to 1st place, barely. I'm not a fan of their closer, Rauch. And if you haven't watched video at MLB.com, you're missing some high quality stuff.
  • Another former Longhorn was arrested. It's slowed down a bit, only averaging one per week right now. It's the clean cut Chris Simms. Wonder what daddy thinks.
  • Errands to run today, not sure if I'll have enough time for Bed Bath and Beyond.
  • Watched Youth in Revolt last night. It's definitely not for the youth but certainly entertaining. I would give it 3.5 stars out of 5.
  • Here's a link to some of the best commercials for the Twins.

There's No Fish in that Lake


Fished for about 5 hours yesterday in the 90 degree heat. Slightly overcast and humid. Only managed to catch 17 and put 10 in the live well. Partner caught 7 and kept 4. It was an OK outing but felt we were both off our game a little bit.

No Way You Can

Keep from tearing up, even just a little bit.

Interesting

Remember Me?

Haven't posted in quite some time. Just letting you know I'm still kicking. Here's a funny little video for you.

Cure for Boredom?

So yesterday I got a dose of motivation and got busy around the house. I started working after I returned from Home Depot and the Sprint store (got my contacts transferred). You be the judge, good day or bad day?
  • painted bathroom cabinet sides and kick plate
  • painted the trim and header of the overhead garage door
  • cleaned gutters on front of house
  • took the globe off of the front porch light fixture and cleaned
  • swept kitch and big room floors
  • wet mopped the big room floor
  • washed, dried, and folded 4 loads of laundry (most of it anyway)
  • cleaned out the lint area, not filter, on dryer (everyone should do this)
  • cleaned both toilets
  • scrubbed boys bathtub and shower doors
  • took coffee and plant to wife (not really work)
  • unloaded and loaded dishwasher before and after dinner
  • cooked lunch and dinner
  • greased the rollers on the garage door
There might have been other things I did in passing but that's pretty much it. Not sure what today brings but isn't that always the case?

Light Switch

I have two switches on the wall that don't turn anything on or off. There is a ceiling fan close by that I assumed was controlled by one if not both. I replaced both switches yesterday and everything is better now. I have confirmed that those switches do indeed control nothing. As a protest to this situation I've decided that I'm going to start putting an additional button on the keyboard that doesn't actually make a character. I won't even give it a name or label it.

Better yet, maybe I'll put an extra unlabeled knob on the stereo. Can you imagine how crazy that would drive a person? "I think it just got louder. No wait, the balance went to the left. Hold on, I think the singer just farted." Yes, I've added a fart drop button to the stereo. Children, enjoy.

This is the NFL?

Why in the world would these hideous things be approved for game play? MONEY! These are two of the packers players, they look like high school kids. I don't know anyone that would buy this crap but oh well, enjoy.
