Back In The Saddle Again...

Trucko no leako anymore. Thanks to the hardy work of Mr. Steve B. That is correct. My mini-monster truck is not leaking gas anymore. My front yard no longer smells of Exxon and let me tell you, it is nice.

Well, last night B and I were going to go directly to the campground but were inhibited because of severe weather. I love nasty weather. The wind...the lightning...sirens...creepy digital voices explaining that we should "stay inside". But I like these things on my terms. I guess, God had other plans. So, we enjoyed a non-outside movie watching. It was worth it because packing is gonna take some time for the camping trip this weekend.

That's all for now....see you at the campout...

HIT THE DECK!!!!!!

Well, here's the first picture of the deck. All I need to add to this structure are steps and some trim boards. Next spring we'll put plants and shrubs around the sucka. It's large enough to sit six people with a table and a grill. It's about 11 feet by 12 feet. I finished it yesterday and then B and I sat out there until almost dark. It was really a nice cool shady sit. We'd like to maybe put up a canvas canopy up in the future - one of those you would see set up in the center area at Fleet Farm with the wrought-iron-like work. Dunham Sports had a 10 x 10 on sale for $79 a few weeks ago. If you look closely in the background you can see the Exxon Valdes. What you need to do to propperly view this picture is to soak a rag in gas...sniff it for about 20 seconds...then open your eyes to look at this picture. If the wind floats gently from the southwest, this is what you will experience.

Daisy Says hello to you all...

Here's Your Que.....Where's the Queue?...

Has anybody seen Johansebastianberg? Exit stage-left....

I can't seem to find the Queue. If you go to the blog-home of the Queue....you get, "Hey I moved...I'll redirect you :-)" Well guess what. It don't! Do it now? Hailno!

Having no Queue is like the alphabet without ....ummmm......"Q"?

As I stand here...I ponder...greater things....Shoopalapoopa is on the way. So far, things are on track. ....ooops....must cut this post short. I have to read something else....moocho imprtant-e


bye

Let the Exxon Fun Continue...

Life's a gas! Literally! As the Toyota continues to pour liquid gold into the driveway I ponder greater things. One thing for sure is an 85% complete deck. The cool part is that I was just assuming that I had enough decking. As the project went along I was setting up the floor joists when, lat minute measurements I opted to cut off 10 inches of the joists for fear of being too close to the house with the deck. So, I whacked off the joists. The last thing I did tonight before sitting my rear down to rest was B and I laid out all the remaining deck pieces across the joists. Lo and behold, just enough decking material! Had I left the 10 inches of joist in place, I would have come up two rows short in the decking material. Thanks to the Master Carpenter the job is gonna work out just perfect. Thanks Easter Bunny! (Bok Bok).

The Exxon leak may continue but it will sure look cool from my groovy deck, aymeah?

The Blog Wave Begins to Fizzle Like Shizzle, My Drizzle!

WILL LOLO OR TRAVIS EVER POST ON THEIR BLOGS AGAIN?

Shall we begin a digital wager? I believe Lolo may but Travis won't. See, blogging for me was a big decision. Do I or Do not I? That was the question. If I am in, I am in all the way. If not then I might as well drop the matter.

I am totally jazzed for the Church campout this year. It is another weekend of wicked volleyball and hanging out with my friends. Every year it is a blast.

On that note, I believe I have fixed the gas line leak under my Toyota. My yard basically smelled of "Exxon Valdes" for over two weeks. Conclusion to my assessment: Rubber lines-cheap, easy to replace but sharp metal objects on the highway chop into them and entropy along with the aging process breaks them down. All I can say is that I'm glad that I don't have a "flailing-burning-matches" addiction or my house in the pine trees mixed with "gasy-leaky Toyota" could have equaled black smoky stinky heap.

Digital wager....
Lolo - yes but aftera couple of months
Travis - no

Whuz Goin Down?

Well kids... It's time to close the book on Cornerstone 2006. I tried to bask in it as much as possible but now it's time to move on.

What the "H"-"E"-double-hockey-sticks is happening these days? Well, B and I have begun construction on a new deck for the love-shack. It will be a long process, I predict, because it is my first "dew-it-yer-selfer" home project. It (with all hopes) will be roughly 12 feet by 12 feet. It will have a rifle turret for deer hunting and will become home to (underneath anyway) hundreds of furry woodland rodents. We plan on moving the gas grill to said location for fall cook-outs (2006). Thanks to my dad, this project has become reality. He donated 98% of the building supplies. It's super cool!

B and I went on a camping trip a couple of weeks ago to the Bayfield area. We stayed two nights in Memorial Park located along the shore of Superior in Washburn. Daisy took her first ever swim in Lake Superior. Guess what? She can dog paddle. Ahhhh the wonders of evolution, huh? Yeah, whatever. She was created to do that! She also enjoyed chasing the white-caps that were rolling in. The chasing included mean growling and dashing back and fourth. Those white-caps leaned a good lesson that day, I tell you! B and I also spent 3 hours out in a sail boat charting the mighty waves. Interesting! I just realized that we went on a literal "3-hour tour". Weird. We had a great time. Thanks to T and G for the boat time.

Stay tuned.... YESHUAPOLOOZA Jesus Rock Festival is just around the corner. Details are HERE
