A funny thing happened on the way to the lake 22 years ago!

So there was a period in my past where I was what I thought, was "really" into mountain biking...not so much. I love riding, and have done so in the recent past. But not so much on trails and backwoods. Anyway, on to the lake I go with three of my really good friends to a local lake area that is known for great trails and great off road adventures. Spring break is here, we are packed and convoying east for a weekend of fun. One of us have a really horrible cold but soldiers on cause it promises to be a great time. Fast forward to the campsite, one of us is drugged on cold medicine, and the rest drunk on beer. The, the snow comes, light snow thats all an we decide to hit the tents to get some rest for our early morning jaunts. At this moment we realize one of our friends did not bring the tent heater, "why would we need it, it is spring break he says.... besides we are men, we can tough it out legitimate argument, I agree. All I remember s that at some point in the night I wake up completely frozen to the bone, so much so that I sneak out to sleep in my car, heater on full blast, I am a man, and a warm one at this point. Not long after this my manhood was re-established amongst the group when I was awoken to a knock at the door of my car. One of the other friends was begging to me in my warm bliss. I stretched out in the rear of the S-10, he in the front passenger seat...

By morning, we all traded in our manhood for a seat in a warm idling vehicle, 2 feet of snow and ice on the ground and high school kids screaming across the campground and chopping at a park tree...

what were they doing? one of them were chopping down a tree to build a fire to cook the goose, another kid was chasing around the campground with a very huge rock, no boulder. A rock so large he can almost not hold it up over his head as he walks fastly behind this honking creature tossing the rock at it.

Our trip was cut short due to weather, it ended up that these kids had come out to the lake to spend the entre week there over spring break, without any supplies, no tents, sleeping bags, FOOD. Nothing. We offered them what was left of ours, before we left.

We even gave a ride to one of them to a pay phone, to call for a ride. Yes, they had no car, he had to call his Dad to come get them early. One thing that didn't make sense to us, not that the hunting and gathering techniques and lack of supplies made absolutely no sense to us sure, but that he was so concerned with getting to a phone to call his Dad to come get him. As a parent, with surprise snow and ice overnight, wouldn't you just go get them...

Can ya dg it? I know you can and will!

Drive By

Is it always a race through traffic to get where you are ging for everyone? I feel like everytime we all leave the house, we are speeding towards the checkered flag!
Everyone Driving By one another just to cut them off...turning out into traffic because you can't wait another few seconds for me to get passed your intersection, then drive under the speed limit and obstruct traffic causing more people to drive out and around everyone else passing each other by...can I get a caution flag?

Dig it?! I know you can and I know you will

The Heat is on!

Here we are deep into the heat of summer. As usual, I am not having a love affair with the weather. You see 100 degrees and 300 pounds is not a good combonation...for any of us.

However, it is the pre-curser for the best time of year, Autum...Fall.NFL season, Holidays!!!

Keep cool, we will sweat our way out of the situation.

Dig it, I know you can and I knew you would

We need a holiday

Why d
o people feel it necessary to justify their actions with ridiculous reasons?? What's worse is then you have to pretend to accept their reasoning."oh it won't be that busy, it is the day before a holiday. Am I just suppose to say okay, everyone but us two can take off there won't be a bit of work to do. Guess what?? Surprise, it was busy! The organization may have been slower than usual, but when there is only two people to do the work of six people....guess what it busy for us two. Bastards, enjoy the Fucking holiday, scurry out of the building like rats on a sinking ship. I was called a cry baby this week, humorously by,a coworkers...nope just a realist! He didn't work today either. Don't misunderstand my point here, the point is, take off, let whoever you want off, just don't dress it it up all,nice and expect me to believe it, remember realist here. Just tel me to shut the duck up and get to work!

I'm out..have a great and safe rammed holiday!!

Sent from my Android, no these are not the Droids you seek.

Did you find everything you needed?

Why can't you just pay for something anymore? Why all of a sudden are you required to give business you zip code, or do you have store credit card you would like to pay with? If not do you have a discount card, email acount, phone number, want to join our biethday club, reward points account..
How about this....just let me fuckin pay for what ever i 'was' interested in when i came hell in hear!!! JESUS, i come in, get what I want, I pay you and leave. The process is long enough when you get into the wrong line, or some idiot needs a price check, or some penny pincher has more coupons than items! I DO NOT NEED THE CASHIER CONTRIBUTING AS WELL. Ring it up and shut up!!!!

Cinderfella, Cinderfella, Every day its Cinderfella...

So i get a text message from my wife the yesterday, no big deal, I get several from her everyday. However this one had one of the most awesome photos attached to it. Standing in the middle of our living room was my son, dressed in evening wear! He had found my daughter's cinderella dress and had it one. Oh how I laughed, he had the biggest smile on his face, he was so proud of himself. I asked my Wife later how he cam to wear it? She told me not only had he been wearing the dress, but had the tiara on as well, he and my Daughter were out in the driveway running around, playing tag. My daughter even took time out to show him how to hold the dress up while he ran as not to fall, she is always so thoughtful! I have a wonderful family, they make me laugh and love them so much more everyday. I just hope they know that these situations could end up as yearbook photos or graduation photos. Oh yea! Sweet torture....

Whether he dates Cinderella, Snow White or....Prince Charming, it will be shown to his future significant others.

Ride On

Amazing how things can change just like that. In the midst of a conversation, my boss is leaving is leaving the fourth. Whwre does that leave us? Opportunity knocking? Alas no, they have no plans to replace him. Still stuck, at the dead end, awaiting construction to develop a path...a path that I can continue upon! Still stuck, no path...no belief or faith that with very minimal training I could excel at the next level. Which way should I go?! I have no further path to travel here

Ride on
