Labor Day Weekend- Almost!

Tomorrow Will Be...
The last day I work before going to camp! I am only going for Sunday and Monday but I am excited! I can use two days off from work with some rest and relaxation thrown is as well! Throw in hanging out with my brother, my Dad and my cousin with a couple of other friends thrown in for good measure and I think my weekend should be fun! Todd told me to take tomorrow off and go to camp first thing but the only guy that could fill in for me is in a wedding so I have to wait until after work before I can go! I am all packed up to go and my wife is right- I am bringing a lot of stuff for two days! Most of it is fishing stuff and half of that is Dad's! My wife says I deserve two days off with the guys so I am taking full advantage of that! Off to go to bed and make sure I have everything I need! Talk to you on Monday night! Later

Atleast It's Thursday!

Not a Whole Lot...
Good to say about today! I was cranky from the second I woke up and it really never went away! I slept crappy, woke up on the wrong side of the bed and then worked on my own stupid car until 730 PM! The good news is my car is almost done and completely fine! The bad news is if I keep killing myself on that stupid car, I won't be! Once again, I have a nice two day weekend and get roped into taking the fucking pager! It isn't my turn to have it but the guy who does have it is going away and the other guy is on vacation so guess who gets stuck with the stupid thing? If you guessed me- you win a prize! I am really getting sick of being the one that they know they can trust and who will always bail them out! I do need to apologize one more time to my wife! I was a jerk this morning and she did nothing to deserve it! I hate change and her going back to school and Sean going to school for the first time really has me stressed out and nervous! Still no reason to be a jerk but sometimes I can be moody and I tend to take it out on her even when it isn't her fault! Once again, sorry! Well, off to check some scores and go to bed! Later

First Day

Well, the First Day...
Of school is over for Sean! There were tears when Colleen and I had to leave but he had a good day and had fun! Work wasn't too bad after the initial shock of me not being there at 7 like I am every day! It actually wasn't that busy which helped a lot! I am quite happy with the way his first day went and I think my little boy is going to be just fine with school! Trying to get info out of him about school is like trying to get blood from a stone but he tells me a little here and a little there so I will get it out of him eventually! Camp in three more days and I am ready! Wish I could stay all week but that isn't happening! Well, I am off to work out and then watch the Sox and Yankees Round two! Later

Sean & Jessi

Tomorrow Is...
My children's first day back to school! Jessi is going into middle school and Sean will be going to kindergarten for the first time! I told work that I would be late in the morning so I could take him to school on his first day! My wife and kids are at a school function right now so the kids can get comfortable for tomorrow and to make tomorrow seem a little easier on them! I was supposed to stop and get something to eat on my way home, but I totally forgot and ended up having a banana for supper! I am an idiot! I might be able to keep 300 trucks running down the road but without my wife, I would be completely useless! Well, I am off to watch some TV and wait for my children to return home! Later

Monday Night

Another Wonderful...
Monday of working! I have next Monday off from work so I can go to camp with my brother, Dad and cousin and some friends! Should be fun since it always is! One more month until bird hunting and I am ready for that! Sean and I walking out back and shooting some birds! I really can't wait until he is old enough to really go with me! Scott is dropping off some plumbing tools tomorrow night so I can get the plumbing ready for him to tie everything in! School starts on Wednesday and both kids are nervous about their first days! They will both be fine though- atleast I hope they will be! Well, off to work out and take a shower! Later

Busy!

Sean and I...
Got up at 7AM and had bacon, eggs and English muffins and got ready for Scott to come over for plumbing! Scott came over at 8 AM and we got the drain all tied in for the plumbing, went to the dump for me and Dad and then I mowed the lawn! It is 1130 AM and I am completely drained already! I need to go to Home Depot tomorrow after work and get some stuff for the upstairs bathroom and Scott is going to drop off a crimp tool for the plumbing and I will get everything all tied in and ready for him to tie into the main water! When we come back from our camping trip, he will come over and tie it in and we will be done! If I had known that I could have done it all this time, it would have been done a while ago! Oh well, the next house I build I will know that! I think my next project after the bathroom is going to be the basement! It is a mess and I could make a real nice work bench down there to do little projects on! Then I am going to make my wife maple cabinets and hang them then make her a new fridge and then make her a HD TV! LOL Later

Fun Night, Day Off!

My Wife and Daughter...
Have both gone away for the night so it is Man's night at the Jordan house! We bought candy, crackers, cookies and cheese and we bought sugared soda and we aren't brushing our teeth! Just kidding on the tooth brushing threat- of course we are brushing our teeth! My wife is with Nicole in NH having their annual shopping trip for school clothes. Jessi went to camp with Liv and Jordan. The Vikings play at 9 PM and they are racing in Bristol right now so I am going to watch some NASCAR and some NFL. I got most of my work done tonight in preparing for my brother and the plumbing tomorrow! I got all the things I need taken down stairs and I have my tools and supplies out and ready! My battery packs are both charging so they are ready and he is going to call me in the morning! I need to get up about 6 so I can finish that and get ready for him while going to the dump and mowing the lawn! LOL- I never said I was lazy! Later

Who Doesn't Like Friday?

By 3PM On Fridays...
People start acting silly at work! They know the weekend is like two hours away and people start acting crazy! I don't because I work Saturday and I know I still have another day to work. Today was a little different though. Colleen said that the kids were spending the night at my Mom and Dad's house and we would be all alone tonight just the two of us! So, I came home and we went to Wal-Mart to get groceries and things my wife needs for her trip! She is leaving for NH tomorrow morning to go shopping with Nicole for school clothes! We also got KFC/Taco Bell and came home for a few drinks and a night of kid free things! I have to work in the morning so it won't be an all night party but I have already had a blast spending time with her shopping and riding around!
OK, I am off to relax and spend time with my wife! Later

Glad That Is Over!

WOW- Today Sucked!
Work was a never ending nightmare all day! The phone would not stop! Anthony took today off to do something before he goes back to school and I got hammered all day! He goes back to school next week and I will truly be all alone again! I bet I spent nine hours on the stupid phone today! Top that off with no prospects of two days off any time soon and I think I am glad I made it through the day without snapping. I need to work out tonight which makes me happy since I can blow off some steam doing that. Only two birds have come to my wife's new bird feeder and she is kind of bummed out. I told her to wait and they will all come when they find it! She is very happy with my little platform I made for her and I am glad!

Looks like Dad took the lawn mower with him today. I canceled my Maddenfest with Shawn on Saturday- NOT because I am scared in any WAY SHAPE OR FORM but because I will be busy doing something I should have done two years ago! Besides, if he whoops my ass at Madden, that will motivate me to get better and if I win then it proves I am a Madden god just like I always thought I was! I used to play against the king of all things video game so I know how to lose gracefully and I also know how to win! Chris- if you read this, I hope all those nights of Madden will finally make you proud and make me more than tired the next day! LOL. Later

Totally Bummed!

I Actually Had a...
Pretty good day at work today! I rode in with Jerry which meant I needed to find a ride home or my poor wife would have had to come all the way to Bangor to pick me up at 530. I know she wouldn't have minded but I don't like to make her drive around needlessly when she doesn't really need to! She had already called me like 20 times at work- talk about role reversal! She switched the company she bought her new camera from, she had a little project for me to do tonight that she wanted to warn me about and she might have to rearrange her trip this weekend! Well, the day went by- kind of slow really which was odd for a pretty busy day! I had Todd give me a ride home so I happened to ask him if everything was good and that I could take Monday off with Bill coming back. He says, "oh- I meant to talk to you earlier today." I instantly knew that it wasn't good news he was going to lay on me! He proceeds to explain that Bill called him and isn't coming. I said, "he isn't coming Monday?" And Todd replies, "no- he isn't coming ever!" Well, I was pretty excited about having Mondays off for the foreseeable future but I took it OK. I sucked it up like I always do and they can count on me! I will be there for them- I always am! I don't know what to feel or do now! I was REALLY looking forward to two days off and now I have that Labor Day weekend and not again until I train someone new! I am not working every day of deer season! Sorry- not happening! I will take the second week off or else I will simply shoot the first deer I see and end it there! This dampens my spirits considerably! I was looking forward to something that I had a gut feeling was a long shot! Oh well, I will have a mini fit about it tonight and will realize that life will go on! I will work, sleep, screw, eat and work out and spend what time I can with my wife and kids! They start school next week and I will still always be home at night! Well, off to go work on my wife's little project! Later

10 Reasons

Ten Reasons Why I Love the NFL:

1. Adrian Peterson! The number one draft pick of the Vikings in the 2007 draft and the face of the Vikings in the future! The Vikings haven't had a stud running back since I can remember and with the Vikings offensive line, they should pound the ball down people's throats!
2. No other sport can capture the magnitude of a game when you only play 16 games- on Sunday and Monday when everyone can watch! Games in the NFL mean WAY more then baseball(162 games), basketball(82 games) or hockey(84 games). The playoffs are single elimination- meaning lose and you go home! Not seven game series or best of five marathons where the best team usually wins!
3. Parody! Any team can climb from the bottom of the league to the top of the league in one year and it makes even the lowly teams have hope every year! You can build a competitive team in one years time in the NFL- not so in other sports!
4. The game itself! 11 men on both sides, trying to tackle or block or catch or run! How the rest of the world still thinks soccer is better than our football- I don't see it! It has action, violence, grace and speed all blended into one!
5. It is manly! Football is played by men and watched by men and women! I know enough women who love football and rout for teams and know stuff about football! I am kind of snobby when it comes to women talking about sports but Kristie showed me that not only do women watch and enjoy sports, they know just as much as men and can talk a darn mean game, too!
6. This one doesn't apply anymore but my favorite football memories all revolve around being at Scott's house watching football with Buzz, Tiny, John, Scott and Josh! There is something about a bunch of guys getting together, eating tons of food and watching hours of football! It is almost Zen like!
7. It is exciting! If football doesn't pull you to the edge of your seat or make you yell or throw stuff at the TV, you don't care enough! I have ONE tattoo on my body- it is a Vikings tattoo! I will have an arm band one of these days but if the Vikes ever win a Super Bowl, I will have the Lombardi trophy tattooed on my right arm- guaranteed!
8. No other sport makes me care about a team more than the NFL! See #7 if you doubt how much I care!
9. You can talk about it and recall plays and penalties and people remember! People remember the tuck rule in the Pats game to today and all you have to say is the tuck rule and football fans know what you are talking about!
10. It IS Sunday afternoon with friends, food and few beers! Nothing beats it! I really can't explain it but it is bonding and teasing and razzing and games and plays! No other sport comes close!

Last Monday!

Today Was...
Hopefully the last Monday I have to work for awhile! Bill is supposed to be back next Monday and that will make my life 100 times better! I can have my two days off like normal, I have some help who can handle himself and I can go back to not having to do everything at work! I hope it happens! I have been looking forward to it for weeks now and I have been told that it will happen next Monday! I think I am looking for a nice quiet night tonight! Maybe play a little Madden, take a shower and get in some comfy clothes and relax! I don't have the black demon pager and of course, on Joey's first day on call- they switch it to leave the pager up in the other building so he doesn't even have it Monday through Friday! Oh well, that will work for me next time I am on call, too so it isn't all bad! After this week, anything would be better than being woken up every night at all hours! I have a really hard time going back to sleep when I have to wake up, make phone calls and use my head! I work too much to be expected to work all the time when I am not even there! I think this week even made my wife sick of the pager and even she was making comments about it being ridiculous! Well, off to take a shower and snuggle in for the night! Later

My Favorite Day of the Week

Today Is My Favorite...
Day of the week! It is my one day off(until next week when I will be back to two) and I try to make the most of it! I have to go to the dump and mow the lawn and I also need to work out today but the rest of the time, I plan to have some fun! I had an awesome time at the BBQ last night and at the fireworks! I also enjoy having pieces of ash and hot embers raining down all around me! I really haven't been having any deep thoughts lately- all my thoughts have been pretty benign and simple! I need to start thinking about hunting season! It isn't that far away and I need to start making a list of things I will need! My wife and Nicole are going to NH this weekend and they always have a blast on their trip! My children go to school on August 29 and I bet they can't wait! LOL Later

Fireworks, BBQ and Work

Today Was Fairly...
Entertaining I guess! I worked until 430 PM, came home and took a shower, went to Jerry's for a BBQ and a few drinks then went to the Children's Day fireworks! Tomorrow is my day off for the week! I can't wait! I have been looking forward to it all week! Then, Monday should be the last Monday I have to work for a while with Bill coming back! I had a blast at the BBQ with Jerry, Julie, Sean and Mindy and Ray! I got my ass handed to me in 31 but that is life! Well, I think I will have one more beer, check some blogs and web sites and then go to bed for the night! I have the pager tonight and tomorrow night and then I can pawn it off to the next sap in line! I know better than to say this, but it has only gone off once tonight and I am hoping for a page free night so I can actually sleep in tomorrow morning! At the fireworks, Nicole and Sophie came and we met my parents there and Zack came with us, too! So, Sophie found a glowing bracelet and was spinning it around and it burst and put glowing stuff all over her shirt! It was too funny! She looked like she was melting and Sean even told her she was melting! Sean didn;t like the fireworks because they were too loud and too long! Well, off for one more and some sleep! Later

Good Mood

For Most of Today...
I was in a really good mood! Shooter and I were in rare form going back and fourth at each other! A couple of guys from the shop went up and moved some stuff for safety yesterday but they called this morning and said the filing cabinets weren't where they were supposed to be so Shooter and I went up and got things the way they wanted them! We got everything moved and were finishing up and Jerry showed up! He probably waited down the hall until he heard we were done! Just kidding, Brother- I know you would have helped us! My wife's car had the front fender come loose and rub on her tire so I had to run out and fix that! She is right- every Friday, her car breaks! She promised me she would stay home next Friday! My help is supposed to be coming back a week from Monday which makes me very happy to get off this six day crap! Well, it is halftime in Madden so I am back to put a whooping on the Rams! Later!

Dustin Is Going Home!

I Can't Wait...
For Big Brother tonight because Dustin is going to be shocked when he hears that he is going home! I need to get my butt upstairs and work out so I am done and can watch Big Brother! My wife is going upstairs to get me a dress to put on! I guess that means that I am gay or queer or feminine or something! OK- I am off to work out! Later

Hump Day

Today Is Officially...
Hump Day! Which means that it is the middle day of the week and that the week is half over! I need a day off and two weeks without the stupid pager! I feel crazy tonight! If you don't believe me- ask my wife and kids! I was doing hand stands in the living room and making silly faces and low and behold- my wife didn't have her camera! Loves it! I made chicken on the grill tonight, my wife put a new spin on her potato salad and my Mom sent home some home made bread and pie for dessert! Well, the chicken was excellent- let us remember who made it! LOL! I really liked the spicy vinegar potato salad! It added a little snap and I thought it was excellent! The bread was unbelievable! Colleen pretty much hit it on the head when she said it tastes like school lunch rolls! The pie was some of the best I have ever had! I put a scoop of vanilla ice cream with the pie and the tartness of the pie completely offset the sweetness of the ice cream! It was like eating heaven! I called my Mommy and told her how good everything was and she seemed very happy to hear it! My wife is taking a shower and my daughter is playing a new game she just got for the computer! I get Madden on Friday and am not impressed with the reviews that it is getting on EB games.com. People say it has a lot of glitches and the controls are hard to use and fuigure out with the Wii remote. If there is one reason I would want a 360, it would be to play Madden with the regular controller and the best graphics available. Well, I am off to be crazy and watch some TV. Later

Philosophical... Or I'm An Idiot

Probably the Latter!
Today at work was 100 times better than yesterday! Well, until 445 when all heck broke loose and trucks were breaking down like crazy! I did 6 road calls in 45 minutes plus set up a road call for 8 PM tonight and then I came home. My kids went to the movies with my Mom and had a really good time! I have to work out tonight and am actually looking forward to it! Big Brother is also on tonight so my wife and I will be watching that at 9PM.

As Some People Know,
AJ had a baby last weekend. Well, not AJ- everyone would have heard if a guy had a baby! He lives with his girl friend in Lewiston who he moved down to be with when he found out she was pregnant. They have a son who is 7 months old now and when he moved down, he found out his ex-girlfriend up here was pregnant, too! OUCH! Well, the little guy was having some trouble out of the gate but has recovered and is doing fine now! I wonder how those two are going to get along when they get older? Will the one that doesn't live with his Dad feel envious and jealous and hate his slightly older brother? I don't think there is any way those two kids ever get along! AJ messed up pretty bad here! He is mad because the girl up here wouldn't give his son AJ's last name. I don't know if that would bother me were I in the same situation. There is a difference here though- AJ is 22 years old and I am 38! We are both pretty immature when we joke with each other but he looks to me for advise on things in life. I don't have any profound wisdom for him in his current situation! He loves the woman he is with and loves both his sons. His ex is crazy and a bit off the wall! I have no doubt she manipulated getting pregnant so he wouldn't leave! Maybe it will all work out for the best- who really knows? This is a mess that only he can fix and there is no cut and dry right and wrong answers to this one! Later

Three Weeks!

Bill Is Coming Back...
In three weeks! I can go back to having two days off and have some time to relax and unwind! Six days a week is too much to do every week! I am glad Jerry is back! I had a blast riding with him like I usually do and I missed not riding to work with him! I can't wait for the BBQ this weekend and eating and drinking a few! I really don't have much to say tonight- work was pretty blah and I had a yummy supper cooked by my son! The day can't seem to make up its mind- it rains then the sun shines then it rains again! Madden tomorrow! I am out- Later!

Football, Lawn Mowers and Beer!

I Love Sundays!
I slept on the couch because I thought the stupid pager was going to go off all night and I didn't want to bother my wife and the stupid thing didn't go off even once! I got up at 7 AM, made some coffee, had breakfast and got Sean breakfast and then loaded up to go the dump! I went to the dump, took my brother home from Dad's and then went to Home Depot to buy a new lawn mower with dad and Sean. I got the lawn mower, broke the stupid Home Depot printer and had to go find the lady to help me. She was like 22-23 years old and she was flirting with me telling me I broke the printer and stuff- just joking around mind you and Sean comes unglued on the lady and starts yelling at her that HIS DAD didn't break it- the guy in the green shirt did! All this while said guy in green shirt is standing there looking at him! I guess he needs to learn what joking around is- he takes things a little too seriously! LOL. So, I came home, mowed the lawn- my new mower kicks butt! Then my brother in law and his girlfriend came over to hang out and we watched some golf, had a few beers, and I took a nap. I got up, worked out, took a shower then watched Big Brother with my wife and now I was watching preseason(which in my terms means shitty) football. I am now off to bed! Later

Sunday Plans

I Don't Really Have A Lot of Them
I need to go get a new lawn mower and go to the dump. Madden comes out on Tuesday for the Wii and I can't wait! Maybe Sean and I can go to Dick's and look at some guns, too! I plan on doing some work around the house, going into town for a few and then have a few beers and cooking something on the grill! Well, I am off to pack my day off full of fun! Later

Wrestling and Work

Today Was Interesting...
I went to work at 630 as usual for me on Saturday, worked all day, came home and took a shower and then went to watch the WWE live with my brother in Bangor. My wife is not going to like this but I really enjoyed it! I haven't watched wrestling in a while and I didn't know some of the people that were wrestling! Back when I used to watch it all the time, that never would have happened! I was a little disappointed that Flair wasn't there! I have never seen him live and would have enjoyed that! The matches were very interesting and the night went by very quickly! I had a really good time hanging out with my brother and he was kind enough to buy us tickets for my birthday so I got to go AND not even pay! I have to say that they may not be classified as athletes, but wrestlers definitely earn their money! They bang into each, lift and slam each other and jump off the ropes onto each other and no matter how fake it is, it has to take a toll on them! Well, I have tomorrow off from work and need it! Six days this week seemed like a lot! Off to bed and see if the pager is going to keep me up all night! Later

Unusual Day

Today Was A Weird Day!
Don't really know how else to put it! I was working this morning and Al tells me at 9 AM he is going to a doctor's appointment and then Joey tells me he is going to a doctor's appointment at 10 AM. Then my wife calls me to tell me that something is really wrong with the car! I start dreading what she is going to say and she says that she ran over something on the interstate and that stuff was leaking out and the car died! I instantly thought oil base pan since that is the lowest spot on most cars! I tell joey that I have to leave and head out to find her. I am nothing if not prepared so I call Bob and get the tow company phone number just in case and program it into my phone. I get there, look under the car and see that the guy who stopped was right- she broke three fuel lines by the tank. Well, I am not Superman so I called the tow company and had them tow it to my work. The rest of the day was busy! I finally got a chance to work on it at 545 and I thought I had all the parts I needed to fix it. Well, one of the lines was bigger than the other two so the parts I got wouldn't work so I did two of them and came home for the night and I will get another one of the right part and have it fixed in like five minutes tomorrow. Could have been worse I guess! A base pan would have been $4-500 new and the worse part of what did break will be the tow- which is usually $35. I also had it confirmed that Bill is coming back to work at Hartt and I can start having two days off again right before hunting season! That works! Well, off to browse some site then go to bed! Later

Working Out, Working and Pizza

Today At Work...
Was OK, I guess. It was busy but I got a lot of stuff caught up! We did get pizza for lunch which was pretty cool! I have to work out tonight and am not really looking forward to it but I am not dreading it, either! My wife is mad because I have been doing some stuff every night but I like the quick fifteen minute work outs that I have been doing! I have been sore after every work out this week and I will be after tonight's as well! I am no longer looking for a new gun! I will be using the guns I have been hunting with for years! I am off to abuse myself and then settle in and watch Big Brother with my wife! Later

New Rifle

I Am In the Middle...
Of the tedious task of picking out a new deer hunting rifle! I need to buy a new one before November and I really want a Remington model 750 semi-auto in 30-06 Springfield! Walmart has them on sale for $650 and I need to get it! My wife says all rifles are exactly the same and that I should just go find the cheapest one and buy it! Guns are not something you shop around for the cheapest one for! A gun is something I will own and hunt with until I die! I put a lot of time and effort into researching and checking up on who has the better new products, better price for your money and longevity of the gun! I know A LOT about guns and I can always know more! I know what I am buying, what I am talking about and I know what is good and bad. Most of the hunters I know are very brand loyal with their firearms- like guys are with their trucks! We are loyal to our ammo brand and our clothing types! Hunters are more loyal than other people. I need to go look at different firearms around town and see what I can come up with! Well, back to Remington online! Later

Short and Sweet

I Don't Really...
Have a lot to say tonight so this should be brief! I talked to Jerry today in Florida and they are having a blast! I wish they would hurry home though because I miss him and his family! My brother is taking me to see wrestling this weekend at the auditorium and that should be pretty fun! I have outgrown wrestling finally after 38 years but I think it will be fun to go watch them live one more time! I have also never seen Ric Flair live and it could very well be my last chance! My brother still loves wrestling and he can fill me in on what is going on while we watch it! Work was OK today- not great but not unbearable! I get to work out tonight and I am still sore from Sunday's work out! I need to stay after work tomorrow night and fix my truck- I am not looking forward to that! I got to take the work truck home tonight and I like that! I am on call anyway so I should be able to take it home when I am on call. Well, I am off to enjoy the rest of the night! Later

Back To Work

Today Was...
My first day back at work after my vacation! It wasn't too bad, I guess! I had a TON of paperwork waiting for me like always when I go away. I put quite a dent in the pile and Al seemed to relax a little bit since I was back. He seemed to settle into a more comfortable roll for him and I am glad he notices when I am gone! I worked out last night for the first time in a week and it feels like I had never worked out before! My arms are sore, my stomach hurts and my shoulders ache! It will probably take me a week or so before my body gets use to that abuse again! I weighed myself last night and was elated to see 178 on the scale! That is where I want to be and need to stay right here!

OK, On To My Wife's Concerns!
She is nervous and upset with Sean going to kindergarten in September and her going back to school! I understand! She has been at home taking care of us all for a very long time! She does an excellent job or taking care of me and our children! Not all women can or want to stay home and raise their children like she has and I am very grateful that we decided to go the route we did! We had to make sacrifices along the way- with only one parent working, we didn't always have all kinds of money. OK, we usually didn't have hardly any money! LOL! We haven't done too badly in my opinion! We built our own house two years ago and we love living here in Hampden. We might not have brand new vehicles, four wheelers or boats but we have good, honest kids that behave and listen to people. Sean will be fine in school! He might get some time outs but he will learn! I really hope there isn't a bully in his class because it isn't going to be good when someone tries to bully him! You might be getting a call from the school when he knocks the kid's head off! LOL. Seriously though, I will pick up the slack at home and carry my share of stuff around the house. I will do what I have to make it work! I am proud of you for finally going back to school and finishing your bachelor's degree and you know I will help you any way I can. If you want to lose some weight, let me know- we can work out every other night together and kick our butts together! I love you and always will! Later

I am Back

Camp Was Pretty Awesome!
The camp is a little small and offers very little privacy but every thing else was good or excellent! The trout and salmon fishing was poor but the bass and perch made up for that! The camp has an excellent view of the sun set and my Mom and Colleen loved that! Colleen took about a million pictures at camp and they came out awesome! Believe it or not, I can't wait to work out! I haven't really worked out in a week and we eat like kings at camp to I am very much ready to abuse myself! I have to go back to work tomorrow and I am not looking forward to the stack or work I know will be waiting for me but I am looking forward to seeing everyone! Sean really seemed to love camp! My Mom calls him camp boy! He really enjoyed fishing and camp fires and boat rides and swimming! He learned to swim this week with no life preserver or anything and loves to show off his ability to swim! He caught some nice fish and likes letting them go almost as much as catching them! Colleen had a good time as did Jessi! The girls came home Saturday morning and me, Sean, Mom and Dad stayed until Sunday morning. I am glad to be home! It feels nice to be sitting in my house, typing on the internet and relaxing. Well, I am off to see what I missed while I was gone! Later
