Heading to Bama

Well I found out today that I will be flying out to Alabama tomorrow. I have to go to our Mobile dealer. They have had two Service Managers quite right in a row, and their paperwork is all screwed up out there. So the Big Boss from corp. Called me today and asked me if I would fly out there for two weeks. I head out tomorrow morning. What fun. The good thing will be that I will probably get to meet up with The Chuckster and have a few beers. That would be pretty cool getting to meet up with a big celebrity like him. I mean he has his own shirts and everything. Na it will be just a couple of country boys, or like the stalker on his site put it, " a couple of rednecks." Well I got to pack and get everything ready for tomorrow. I will post out there if I get a chance.

Be Cool

Everybody is Leaving

It seems I was not the only person having problems last week. I thought I just couldn't remember how to post pictures last week, but it seems blogger was having some problems. Thank God, I thought I was getting stupid, because I was doing stuff that I had done before, but none of it was working. One of my favorite sites has moved. The Chuckster has moved to wordyblog. Pretty nifty looking site. I think I will be staying here though until I can afford to buy the domain "Cowboy Colby", or figure out how to move everything.
SBQ's tournament went pretty good yesterday. They won both their games and came in second. We also got done before 2pm, which was amazing. We were pretty tired and came home. I cooked supper and did laundry while the wife got rested up. I know I will make someone a good bitch one day, but I could no longer look at the place, and I had to have some work clothes. Tammy is still having a hard time with her knee. She is getting around real well, but tires out, and still has a lot of pain. What can you expect when she only had knee surgery last Wednesday.
We went down to the pool last night. It was the first night the pool had been open by our apartment since someone left a "Baby Ruth" in the pool, and I am not talking about the candy bar type. They had to shock the hell out of the pool. Either some kid was in there with non-swimming diapers, or someone pulled a prank one night. Oh well, I know we have swam in dirtier water growing up.
The MAVS won again last night. That makes two down, and two to go. I sure hope they can pull this off. As you all know, I am not a big basketball fan, but my corporation's head-quaters is in New Braunfels , which is close to SA home of the Spurs, and when they won the championship last year that was all we saw when we logged on to our computers, and all they talked about for the next month. So it is pay back time.
Work went alright today. They rolled out a new program for work, and it seems to be working well. Not doing much tonight just relaxing and surfing the web a little. Well I got to get out of here and go to the grocery store. Everybody root for the MAVS.

Life in the Softball World

Well I got up yesterday morning and posted. Aren't ya'll all proud of me. Look, I am posting two days in a row. The world is about to end I guess. I dropped the Princess off with my mother yesterday morning. She went out of town with her for some Mary Kay Business. Yes my mom drives a pink Cadillac. I came back home and got everything loaded up for the tournament. I have a life saver that I take with me to tournaments. I have a John Deer Wagon that I carry everything in from the truck to the fields. I bought it several years ago, and it has saved me back pain and agony ever since. I can load the E-Z UP, cooler, all the chairs, and the bat bag, and make it all in one trip. It is one of the best things that I have ever bought. We went and watched the Wild One bowl for a little while and then headed out to the softball fields. It was hotter than hell. We got everything set up and waited for our first game. The SBQ lost their first game, which they shouldn't have. They did win their second game though. They almost gave it away. They have to get better at hitting during the games. They all do great in practice, but when it comes to the games the just dink the ball for some reason. Hopefully today they will be over the jitters of the first tournament and start hitting like we all know they can. We have two more games today. There is no way we will get first place in this tournament since we didn't beat the first team, but we will more than likely get second. There only five teams so it is only round robin tournament.
It looks like we will be going to Oklahoma next weekend. Nobody has signed up for the tournament we were suppose to be in next weekend here in town. So we are probably going to play some Yankees above the Red River line. They should be interesting.
Well we didn't race last night. Mike took the car out Friday night to Hot lap the car since we put a new front end under it, and ended up putting into the wall in practice. More money we got to sink into it, but ,oh well, that is part of racing. It took out the fuel cell, and the new rear bumper that was just put on.
Well I got to get so I can get everything ready for the tournament today. Hope everybody has a great weekend.

Trying

I have been trying to get a pic to upload for three or four days. I have been having problem with blogger to upload them. I thought it was me, and my little knowledge of how to do anything on the computer, but this morning shows that I was reading the instructions correctly, and it wasn't my slightly retarded computer skills that wasn't working. Oh well, I got them going now.
The top picture is of our new edition to the family. I proudly introduce ya'll to Scooter Brown. I call him this so when I am drunk as a skunk, also know as "Cooter Brown", we can be related. No actually I have always wanted to name a dog scotter. He is definitely a character. When we got him he was only six weeks old and weighed two pounds. Now that he has found where his dog bowl is and where Matti's dog bowl is, and he weighs about 5 lbs. So needless to say, we have put him on a diet. He is going to be a lot of fun.
This is going to be a busy summer. The Softball Queen has started tournament season, and we are going and blowing. We have a tournament in Mansfield this weekend. After tonight's game I have to haul ass out to the race track to help my buddy Big Mike with his sprint car (that is the second picture). That is me working on it after the heat races. Then it is off to the rest of the tournament tomorrow. Now back to racing. We are currently looking for sponsors for our race team. Mike is one hell of a driver. This is his first year racing the sprint car, and is doing pretty well. As you all know though it is costly. We are taking any sponsors right now. The more money you give, which by the way is tax deductible, the bigger the graphics with your company's name is on the car. If any of you are feeling like you need to get rid of some extra cash, or need a good tax deduction let me know. I am not to the point of begging yet, but it is close. Getting sponsors is a lot harder than I thought it would be. I have gone to a few of my customer's so far, and have come up with nothing yet. The one sure person I went to said he couldn't do it, because his son just got into racing. He said he felt for us, but was dumping a load of money into his son's car right now. I understood, but was sure hoping he would have helped out.
Tammy had knee surgery Wednesday. So I have been playing nurse around here lately. She is doing real good though. The doctor sent her home without crutches. She is already up and walking around. She tore her meniscus. We caught it pretty early so there was not much damage. They scoped it and repaired it.
I have decided to go back to school in the second session of summer. I was going to take the whole summer off, but I am ready to get back and get this all over with. I apply in August to the Nursing Program; so wish me luck. I won't find out if I made it until December. I am pretty confident I will make it, but there are usually a lot of people applying.
Well I have to get everything ready for the tournament today. Yell at ya'll later.


BE COOL.
