LIFE AFTER THE HOLIDAY.

Man it sure was nice having two days off in a row. I didn't have to work at either job Sunday or Monday. It was wonderful spending time with the family, and not having to work either of those two days. Sunday we had a cook out at the house with my family. I even went to Bingo with Tammy. We didn't win shit. So it will be another year before I go to Bingo again. Monday my BIL had a cook out. We played horse shoes, and washers. We had a good time. One of the first times we didn't drink on this holiday. All in all though it was a real good time.

The only thing that sucks is that we didn't go on our canoeing trip this year again. There on some good pics of old trips on Shump's Site. I miss those times. It is just too much for all of us to get together like that with all the kids, and things going on in our life's. We had some wild and crazy times doing that annual trip every year though.

Hope everybody had a good Memorial Day Weekend. Let me know.

BE COOL

Start of the weekend

Worked sucked at my first job yesterday. I just couldn't get motivated. I also fell into the dream world where I thought I was going to get off work early so I could spend sometime with Lil Man. As true as always, you should not plan to get off work early at my main job, because as soon as you do something will happen, and you are stuck at work until the original time you were suppose to get off. We had a customer that was having some testing done next week, and had to get some tests done at our facility before they could go to the test site with a base line on their trucks. Well the first two trucks went as planned, but the last one had problems. The customer is a pretty big customer with other dealers, but not one of ours. We are just the only facility around that can provide some of the tests that needed to be done. Well they were up in a big roar about how the truck had to be done, but we were waiting on some numbers to come back from CAT. There were all kind of people calling, jumping through hoops to get this last truck done. Finally at the last minute we got what we wanted. Actually some people had to come in today to finish it. The morale to the story is don't plan to get off early. Just seize the opprotunity when it comes up, and you might get off early.

Everybody have a good Memorial Day Weekend, and pray for our troops. Especailly for the ones that have fallen so we can have our freedoms.

BE COOL.

BOO HOO

The Stars lost. Oh well, just a few more months and the Cowboys will be playing.

Working these two jobs is killing me. I am tired as shit. Hopefully I won't have to do it too long. I will make it through the summer, but that is about it. The extra money is nice though. I hate the time it takes away from the Lil' Man and me though.

We don't have any big plans for this weekend. Just cooking out at Mom's on Sunday, and then going over to my BIL's Monday.

Quote of the day--"The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues."

Elizabeth Taylor
British movie actress (1932 - )

This is such a true statement.

Hope everybody has a great weekend.

BE COOL.

GO STARS

The STARS won again Saturday. Makes the series 3-2 Wings favor. I was reading the last time a team came back from a 3-0 deficit was 33 years ago, and the time before that was 33 years. Do you see a pattern here? Let's hope so.

Work went alright this weekend. I didn't make much on Friday night, but Saturday made up for it. It is getting easier every time.

Went, and watched Ironman Sunday with the kids. It was pretty good. The Softball Queen fell asleep during the movie.

Really didn't do much else this weekend. I did get to take an hour long nap with the little one Saturday. I miss naps. He gets to take one every day. Man what a life. Eat, play, sleep, and repeat. He doesn't know how good he has it. He does enjoy it though.

I have to do the front wheel bearings on my Cheapokee tonight (pics coming later). I am going to try and get that done before the Stars start playing, but I might have to listen to it on the radio until I get done.

Hope everybody had a good weekend.

BE COOL.

JERRY FINALLY TELLS

Yes Jerry Jones has finally set the prices for the seats in the new stadium. You can read it here Prices. They are not too bad. The only catch is being able to get a set. I think I am going to try and talk BC into trying to go in with me on season tickets, but we will have to see how things are going by August, which possiblly will be too late. I have been waiting forever for these, and I am broke as hell right now. Damn the Man! One day I will have season tickets to the greatest team ever.

Just wanted to share the news. Y'all have a great weekend.

BE COOL.

VALIDATED

Yes, that is right. I am validated at my second job now so I will be making money for me, and not my trainers. I had really good trainers, but when you got a new guy to do all the work, why not let them. I took last night and tonight off work. I am scheduled for Friday, Saturday, and next Tuesday & Thursday. Not too bad. I sure could use the extra cash. Especially, since Tammy wants to move out of Mom & Dad's. The only thing bad about work is that they already screwed up my schedule. They scheduled me to come in work @ 2:30pm, but I am at my permanent job then. I got it squared away. It just cracks me up, because they had me fill out a sheet saying when I was available. I don't think they looked at it when they made the schedule.

On to other news. I have been debating this for a long time. We are in the process of adopting a child. I will call him Little One on this blog. I won't go into details about the adoption, but from time to time you will read about the things he does on this blog with us. I have been telling stories that involved him, and haven't mentioned him due to worrying about the adoption case. I am not worried about the adoption case, I just felt guilty about not mentioning him in the stories. So from now on when I am talking about what the family is doing he is going to be mentioned.

The STARS pulled one out of their asses last night, and got a win. At least they won't have been swept. I hope they win the next three games, but Detroit is a tough team. We will see what happens.

Nothing else really going on. Saw a lot of good HNT out there today. I know I didn't put the link, but you can go to Shumpy's site, and check it out.

I got to get back to work. Yell at y'all later.

CHECK OUT THE DALLAS COWBOY NEWS UPDATES

I have added a new feature to this little blog of mine. Yes go figure. It displays current news on the Dallas Cowboys. I am just becoming a blog guru more and more everyday. I can't wait for football season to start.

Good Weekend

Well the weekend went well. I worked Friday, and Saturday at the second job. My training is almost over. It is not as hard as I thought it would be. I actually enjoy it. I had Sunday and Monday off at the second job. So it was nice to relax with the family yesterday for Mother's Day. We were going to go to the movies, but the teenagers could not get ready on time so we just took Tammy to lunch yesterday. Then she went and played bingo. She didn't win, but Friday night she won nearly $400.00 so that was cool, and really helped out. Saturday we ate breakfeast with the family at the Dixie House Cafe. The kids love it there. The waitresses spoil us. They all know us. After that I had to go to work. Tammy spent the day with her sister shopping, and garage saleing.

I validate on Tuesday at my second job. Which is good, because after that I start getting all the tips. I am ready for some cash on hand. It is a cool place to work. It gets a little hetic at times, but all in all not to shabby of a place to work.

The Stars lost again this weekend. Tonight's game is very important for us to win. We need to try and take some wind out the Wings. I am hopeing they can pull this won out. At least I will be able to watch the game tonight on TV. Me and the little will get to watch it together tonight. I can't wait to take him to his first sporting event.

I really need to get back to posting pics on this site, but I am just getting where I am posting semi-regularly. I have a lot of pics to post so I will try and work on that later when I can get the PC at home to work.

Later Dudes, and Dudettes.

GO STARS

2 JOB THING

Yes, I am working a second job now. Picked up a waiting job to make some extra cash. I am still in training right now, but next week they let me go on my own. That will be nice. I need the cash on hand tips to make it right now. We are trying to get out of mom and dad's house here pretty soon.

The Stars lost last night. They got there asses handed to them. I was working, but we had it up on a couple of places, and every time I looked up the Wings scored another 2 goals. I saw when introductions were happening. Then I look up, and the score is 2-0 Wings. What the hell. Start working again. Then BAM 4-0. WTF? Finally I look up and the Stars have scored one goal. Lastly I look up and the game is over. Man I know that the Wings are hot, and all, but I sure do hope that the Stars can wake up and kick their asses. I would like to see them go all the way again.

I did get Tammy another car. Nothing new, but it is not an eye soar either. Being a used car though I have had to put my mechanic's hat on a time or two since we have gotten it though. All in all, it's not too bad though. I found a really good deal on '93 Acura Legend. She likes it, but as any woman will do. She points out all the things wrong with it. I keep telling here that it is a used car. Deal with it! It doesn't look bad, and has A/C. It is better than my Jeep Cheapokee. All I have in it is a 270 air-conditioning. For you poor people out there you know what that is. For you others, it is both windows rolled down, and going 70 mph just to try and get some cool air to blow on you. It does suck to live in Texas with out A/C in your vehicle. I have endured it before, and I can do it again. For a little bit.

I am out of school until the Fall. I didn't have to take any finals so that was cool. I am just going to concentrate on making as much money as I can over the next few months.

That is about it in our world. Let me know what is going on in y'all's.

BE COOL.
