What an evening on the blogasphere

There were some really great post out there tonight. There was everything about blogging and how it has changed the world to Shaved kitties or hairy ones.( Bald is beautiful. ) I think I am really getting addicted to this. When Shump comes over this week and teaches me how to link to other peoples sites in my stories it will be better.

Work was alright. They are still playing the hush, hush game, but I am still going on vacation and won't have to worry about it until the 11th after tomorrow. Our month is going good. It is nice being ahead of the game before the last day of the month. I actually got off work at a reasonable time. Very unusual this time of the month. Went to school and worked out. I think I spoke a little too soon on not be sore though. Man, I can really feel it today.

After school I stopped by a buddy of mine's house. We shot the shit for a little while and he is getting a A/C ducting system ready for us when we go camping this weekend. I know, what a pussy. FU, I have slept outside without a tent, without a cot, and in the jungle and national forest. I am through with all that. Since I have been out of the Army, I sleep in tents now and since a couple of years ago I bring an A/C unit. There's nothing like being out in the wide open, sleeping in a tent, and having it a nice 65 degree's in July in TX. We also have to do it because Tammy can't stand the heat due to her MS. I still would have it there even if that wasn't the story.

ONE MORE DAY OF WORK UNTIL VACATION. I can't wait. Keith if you are reading this call me because I would like to golf at least once on my vacation.

That's it for now. To all of you bloggers out there keep it up. You know you couldn't go without it.

Be Cool.

Not Too Bad

I am not as sore as I thought I was going to be today. Worked sucked today. As you all know my boss is quitting and everything is going to be loaded onto my shoulders, which in turn should mean a raise. Who knows now. I went in with a few questions on how things are going to be after he leaves, and they start with "I can't say anything right now" shit. I swear to God I hate when these corporate A-holes start this shit. I wanted to get a girl I know to be hired on to help me, because she already knows a lot about warranty and I would not have to train her that much. Shump get your mind out of the gutter, it is my wife's niece's friend. They told me there are two ahead of her in line, but to turn in her resume. So I ask them who they are and they told me they can't tell me. So then I ask, "am I going to have any say so who it is going to be?" Guess what their fucking answer was. "NO". Fucking horsepussies. I told them I was not going to train my new boss. If they brought someone in ahead of me, they better know there shit. This sucks since our company got bought out. So who knows what the fuck is going to happen, but I am still taking my vacation next week.

On another note I want to bitch about. Ever since my money out of my checks has been going into the stock fund at work the fucking stock has been going down. That shit better pick up or ya'll better start buying some of our stock. JK. I don't know shit about stocks so I figured this was the only way I was ever going to buy some. Maybe it will work out, maybe it won't. Who knows. I would have just pissed the money away anyways.

School went alright tonight. I worked out and I am feeling pretty good. I think I am going to stick with this working out shit. I am tired of having this spare tire.

Enough bitching tonight. Yell at ya'll later.

Be Cool.

I feel like the Hulk

Man, it has been over 5 years since I lifted weights in the gym, and my body is yelling at me right now. Tonight was the first night in class where we got to lift weights and the last lecture class for this semester. Thank God. Now all we do for the rest of the week is workout. I lifted weights tonight and worked on my upper body strength. I had a hard time driving home. I lifted some good weights, but afterwards my body said " Where the hell did that come from." I haven't lost a lot of strength, but I have lost some endurance. Just ask my wife. I am dreading tomorrow. Oh well, I have been wanting to get back into shape any ways.

I got home tonight to a wonderful surprise. No my wife was not making it with another woman, but it was close. She had supper made for me. Trust me this is a treat in my house. Then low and behold my mother-in-law stops by and brings 10 packages of chicken and 10 packages of steaks she got on sale from Kroger. 10 for 10, but they even reduced that to like 60 cents a package. We will be eating good in the cowboy Colby Hacienda for a while.

Three more days until my vacation starts. Man I am so ready for it. Especially since it is official I am getting a promotion. We just have to talk money now. My boss's last day is going to be Thursday. He is just tired of the shit at work. What he is really tired of is that he is not the head man in charge at work now. Our department falls under service so now he had a boss, and he didn't like that too much. Oh well, his loss my gain hopefully. I won't be doing his job for the same amount of money I am making now. I just don't know how much more they are going to pay me yet.

Well I am off to take a shower of my stinky ass, go look at other blogs.

Be Cool.

Sunday Review Again

It was a pretty good day. We got up around 10 and got ready to go to church. After church we met up with Mom & Dad for lunch. Ya'll all know me, I am never going to pass up a free meal and especially since Dad pays for the whole family on Sunday's. That saves me 30 to 50 dollars. It depends on how many kids I have with me that day. We really didn't do anything after that for the afternoon. I got to take my Sunday nap, which I haven't been able to do in a while. I felt great when I got up. The Eich's had a BBQ tonight. We took the girls home to their Dad's and headed over there. Michelle is a great cook. She made Pork and a delicious potato casserole. It was great getting caught up with everybody. Kimmy & Timmy were there. Also the Moon's with their son Jake. Man that kid has grown and is smart too. Shakey and BC were there. We had a good time and some good food.

Just one more week before my vacation. Actually just 4 days. I can't wait. I haven't taken a full week of vacation in 2 years. We are going anywhere, but I just usually take one to two days off at a time. I am going to enjoy sleeping in and playing a little golf. Even if it is going to be by myself, because everybody is at work.

We are going camping at Joe Pool with Tammy's family for the 4th, but the rest of the time will be at home.

Nothing else really going on. I have my final for my class on the 5th. It is not going to be that bad. This class is so fucking boring. I am glad it is almost over.

Hope ya'll have a great week.

BE COOL.

IT'S ALIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!!!!!


Finally my PC is back up and running. My brother, God Bless him, got the pc working again. Yahooooo. He called me today when I was at work. I went in to soak up the last bit of overtime I am going to be getting. I go salary on the 1st of July. I go on vacation that day, what a coincidence. A lot has been going on since my last post. We are still in the house, trying to pay off a few things before we move into an apartment. Mostly I have been just working and going to school. Somehow I am still broke. Last week I almost seemed like a regular up @ the B. This week we are just too low on money. The funny thing about it is that Tammy was the one who suggested to go up there more than I did. I think she misses her babysitter (Video game on the bar).

It's that time again. The end of the month is here. At least there is a holiday after the end of the month. I can't wait to go on vacation.

Tammy is hurting a lot again. They have tried changing up her medication, but it is not doing any good at the present. She is a tough girl, but it has got to suck being in pain all the time. That is one of the symptoms of MS. So ya'll keep her in your prayers. We were up most of the night, because it hurt her to lay down. I wish there was a shot or vaccine for this disease, but there's not so we just trudge along. I am so proud of how she is doing.

I am going to try and put an image on this website so if it doesn't show up, at least I tried.
Shump really needs to get over here and help me tweak this site. HINT HINT.


Wow that really worked. Now I just have to get some pics downloaded on my pc.

**note pic is from Shumpy's site taken by his Treo.***

Can you see the happiness in my face that my PC is back up and running.

Talk to ya'll later.

Be Cool.

PC still down

Well the PC @ home is still down. Actually it is not at home it is up at my brother's work and he hasn't gotten around to seeing what the problem is. I am just going to have to ship my wife over to his house to stay so she can play here poker online. I bet that'll get him to working on my PC. My brother is such a lazy ass. For those that don't know. My brother is nearly 15 years older than I am. He doesn't get in a hurry about anything. What can you say though, he is doing it for free, or he better be.

Just got done doing a Step Test to see how out of shape I am. I faired pretty well.

Well I got to get. I have to go home and fix Tammy's truck. It died today. It needs a new battery. When it rains it pours. At least that job is not a hard one to do.

Be Cool.

Big PC Problems

I have not been able to post since the computer crashed. I think I caught a virus or something. I was running norton and updated it and it found some adware and I followed the instructions and used the tool. So when the computer restarted some of my operating system was corrupted or deleted. It won't even reformat my windows, so I am taking it to my brother to fix. He conviently works @ Comp USA. Hopefully he can get it fixed, but I will try to post this week from school.

If any of you need to get a hold of me email me at staatsc@rush-enterprises.com (work email so keep it sorta clean or I will checking my email up here at school some. cowboycolby@hotmail.com

Hopefully this week we will be back up and running at the house. I don't think Tammy can go with out her online poker for a week.

Be Cool.

PC Problems

We are having P.C. problems and I don't mean Physco Cindy Problems. We could not get online for a little bit. So I am writing from school. I broke the fat meter. The one that tells you how much fat content your body is. I was so fat I broke the damn thing. Not really. The 1977 pos that they used had a short in it so when it was my turn to find out my body mass index it quit working. I think the fat guy before me broke it. Na it was the electric cord to it had a short in it and it wouldn't stay working long enough to get a read. So it will be tomorrow before I find out how fat I am.

Today at work was alright. Nothing really going on, but Kim our cashier, who is Big Mike's wife, put her two weeks notice to go work at Kenworth (our competitor). She is not quiting thank God, because she got offered another position with more pay. I ought to try this. Knowing my luck they would tell me " Ok, have a nice life and I wouldn't have a job." We can't afford that though.

Well Tammy and I have to pay off a few things on our Credit and then we can get the apartment. We should be moved into our new home by July 7th.

Sorry there was no Sunday review, so I will let you know what happened the day after writing drunk.

Saturday got up and went golfing w/ Trent the Bartender @ riverside. We had a great time, but I was hungover from hell. I did tie the all time Cowboy Colby golf record. I shot a 106. No new clubs yet. I promised myself once I shot under a 100 that I would get myself new clubs. So that will be a little longer. I shot a 60 on the front 9 and a 46 on the back nine. Now if I can do that on the front 9 I will be getting some new clubs. After golfing I went home and laid up like a crack whore. The hangover and the heat really took it out of me. Tammy went to play bingo with her sister and her mother. She won about 150.00. We can really use the money.

Sunday we celebrated my mother's 60th birthday. It was great. Didn't really do anything after that.

Well Tammy is her to pick me up from school, becasue the Jeep is broke down again. So I will continue this latter.

Ok, I am back. Tammy picked me up and we went to the Wild One's play-off game tonight. I think that is going to be the last game I go to this summer. They lost 9-8 in the last inning. The first two innings were long as hell and the other team had them 8-3 until the last inning. The Ump's made some bad call's but what are you going to do. His team lost in the second inning when they made so many errors. The reason I won't be making anymore games is because of the attitudes the team had after the game. I know they are young, but the coaches just let them have fits and mess around. I get so agitated with them. They can only lose one more game. I know I probably will go to the next game, but I got to act tough.

Tomorrow night I have to fix the Jeep. The clutch master cylinder went out, so the clutch is not working yet. Oh the joys of owning a jeep out of warranty. There is no way I could afford a shop. The price goes up when its a Jeep, and they aren't that hard to work on.

Well its late and I have to work tomorrow. Have a great week.

Be Cool.

Just out there.

Trying a new thing. Writing while I am drunk. This is hard. I have already backspaced more times than there is characters so far. Sorry I haven't been writing, but I don't get on the computer when I am stressed or depressed. Life kinda sucks right now. We are down sizing and going from a house to an apartment. We are not having much luck getting into an apartment. We have to clean up some of our credit. I know we will get through this, because if we can beat the wheelchair, I know we can beat this obstacle. For those of you that don't know, my wife was in a wheelchair last year because of MS. That had to be the scariest year of my life. We got through it though together and with family. The funny thing about it though is I never got depressed or looked at it like I was failing. I don't know why I am letting this move back into an apartment get to me like it is, but I feel like I am failing my wife. I know financely it will be the best thing for us since I am going back to school for my nursing degree, but I still feel like I am letting her down. We will come through this with flying colors, but I hate feeling like this.

Ok enough oh poor petty me. On to what has been going on. We only made some of our numbers at work. Oh Well. Maybe somebody at work should be doing their job. I am not talking about me there. Tammy and I have been trying to get back into an apartment, but the past is catching back up to us. We are going to take care of it and should be in an apartment by July. I have been going to school all week and this class is boring as hell, but it looks like it is going to be a easy A. Concepts of Physical Activity. Maybe I will get back in shape with this class though.

We didn't go out of town like we wanted to this weekend. We are going to take care of business and get us an apartment this weekend. The Wild One has his State Bowling Tournament this weekend in Houston. We really wanted to make it, but we have to take care of business here though.We really wanted to make it, but we just can't afford it. So we are staying around here.

We went to the Princesses and the Softball Queen's final game tonight. This game was to see who won first place in the Rec league. The Princesses team won by a land slide, but watch out for the softball Queen's team next year. It was hard because we wanted both teams to win.

We ended up at the B after that. There was a pretty good turn out. Rich, Eric, Shumpy, Kim, B.C., Melinda, Bob Barker, Charlie and us were up there. I had a few too many shots, but hey it was fun. Amber and her husband showed up,(they are in town for a wedding), were there also. We had a good time and I got a little tipsy.

Now I am home and trying my first publish drunk. So if I ramble and jump around. F.U. I am drunk. That's it for this post. I am going to my first Charity Party tomorrow at Growler's and going to play golf tomorrow. Hopefully this weekend will turn out alright. Ya'll be safe and have a Good time

I will leave you with these words of wisdom from a new singer Bobby Pinson.
"Don't ask me how I know."

Be Cool.

Good Luck

This one is for Keith, F. U.

Good luck on the boats.
