OK- I Saw This...

And Had To Blog!
He is such a HAM! I love the kid to death and he absolutely fills voids in my life that I never knew where there! Don't get me wrong- I absolutely am astonished by my very bright and witty daughter and I love my wife like no other! There is something about a Dad and son! He is my BOY! We think alike, act alike and like the same things! When I see or get something cool, I can't wait to show him or tell him! I know he is the same way with me! He always greets me at the car or at the door with some snake, frog, spider, bug or creature he has caught, found or trapped! He is a BOY! There is ZERO doubt about it! He cracks me up every day with some off the wall, crazy scheme or by telling me, "Dad, when I am big, I am going to play pro football, pro baseball and be in the army!" He is an absolute original! I have never met anyone like him- and can't really say that I ever will! He is fearless! As in he has no fear! He told me he wanted me to buy him a dirt bike so he can jump the house! At FIVE! He says stuff like, "You know, I am big enough for my own gun now! You should talk Mom into letting you buy me a gun so we can shoot!" When he turns ten, he is in for some stuff he can't even imagine! He will go hunting with me and we will be sitting somewhere and it will more than likely be a turkey hunt! He will start getting bored because he isn't the most patient boy I have ever met! Then, out of nowhere, a turkey will come in or gobble and he will get the look and we might get the bird or we more than likely won't! He will get mad, realize that it all was pretty cool and be hooked for life like his old man! Then, deer season will come and we will be sitting in a spot and a deer will FINALLY show up and he will have a look of shock and disbelief and probably miss the deer and be hooked on that! I can't wait until he really catches a good fish! Until I can take him to a spot in a canoe, fish with him and hear him hook a six or seven pound bass! He will lose the first few and then be absolutely obsessed with fishing- like his Dad! Maybe he was born to be my son! Half of his DNA is mine! Kind fo figures we would like the same things! Some day, he will come in the den, tell me the Vikings are on at 1 PM and sit down to watch the game with me! I like having a son! I like having a daughter! Maybe tomorrow, I will blog about Jessi and all the things that make her SO cool! Night

I Hear You

Kristie!
I had been looking forward to last night for four months! The Vikings had done a lot of new stuff last year to improve their passing game, their defense and even their special teams! Green Bay on Monday night, minus Favre in Aaron Rodger's rookie game! AD ready to go! Tavarus Jackson with a little more experience! What happened? The Vikings stunk up the joint! They lost 24-19 in a game that wasn't that close! Every time the Vikings drove down the field, they kicked a field goal. Every time GB drove down, tehy got TD's! I know how Kristie feels losing Brady for the year! He is the best in the league and the Vikings have absolutely nothing even close to him! We lost on national TV in a game they had been thinking about for 4 months with enough hype as you will ever get! The Vikings defense got ZERO pass rush, the defense gave up a 57 yard run when they needed to get the ball back, the offense three an INT with the game on the line! I know- it is ONE game but to think that they have a shot to win the Super Bowl with such a subpar QB- I can't see it! My poor Vikings are like Jerry- bending over and taking it from behind! LOL

This Picture Is Freaky!

Looks Like I am a Ghost!
Maybe I just move THAT fast! LOL

National Holiday!

Today Is One of My...
National holidays! It is up there with deer season on the Holiday Scale! I knew the NFL started on Thursday but today is the real first day! Games from 1 PM to 11 PM tonight! I need to get my stuff done this morning so I can sit my butt in front of the TV, text message all my football brethren, drink a few beers, eat some pizza and turn into a zombie! OK, the Vikings don't play until 7 PM on Monday but I LIKE football! Vikings-Packers Monday night should be fun! Last night on call absolutely sucked! I got woke up at 11, 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6! I got like ZERO sleep for the night! Today looks like the day to finish the lawn! Everything is already wet so I shouldn't have to water it for a little bit and I need to get some basement crap done and go to the dump! I would say it rained pretty hard last night! The pump for the basement has been running since I woke up and it never runs anymore since we had the land leveled! Well, it is almost 8 AM and all I have done so far is get a load of laundry going! Off to be productive before I become a zombie! If you like today, enjoy the football! I think the Vikings are going to be pretty darn good this year and I am looking forward their defense and running game! Later

Games. BBQ and a Day Off

Last Night...
Nicole, Jerry and Julie came over for some games! It was interesting and pretty fun! I am glad Jerry likes his new job! Then, I went to bed- with no calls whatsoever and got up at 530 AM and went to work! Today at work was pretty uneventful! I then ran to Shop 'N Save, got Colleen a rib eye steak and Sean and a nice, fat sirloin, asparagus and baking potatoes and sour cream! I hurried home, cranked up the grill, got the potatoes cleaned and on the grill, made Colleen's onion dip and got the asparagus and steak ready to cook! I let the taters cook for awhile then got the steak going, then grilled the asparagus and served supper! It came out VERY good! The meat was good, the potato was very good and the asparagus was excellent! I love Colleen's fresh chives in sour cream! It adds a total zip to it! Now, I am chilling out, blogging for a minute before I go throw down a quick work out and take a shower! No big plans tonight- probably a nice, quiet night and then a busy day tomorrow of cleaning the basement and going to the dump- 800 times! LOL. Well, off to work out and take a shower! Night

Friday Night, Three Days Off

Jerry and Julie Came Over...
Friday night while Colleen and Nicole were in NH and we took a few picture! We had a great time as usual although we do seem to miss Colleen and Nicole since they both seem to prepare much better than I do! Camp was really fun the first day! We fished and got stuff set up and then the wind came up and we spent the last day and a half stuck in camp with Yahtzee and no TV! I am back home and have got the porch cleaned off and my next mission is to get some laundry going, fold up the tent and clean up some trash outside! Both Colleen's and Nicole's tattoos look really good! I really want to get my new one now! Well, off to go get some more stuff done! Later
