I Think Poor...
Sean is going to go crazy waiting one more day! He can't wait to go! I can't either but I know I have one more day of work before my vacation really begins! Jerry is taking Nicky while we are gone and everything is all ready to be packed in a cooler and the car to go! I need to work until 2-3PM and then we will be off! Al was awesome today! He said to me like four times that this week coming and the week I take off for deer season are the worst two weeks of the year for him! That was a compliment meaning he would miss me and would definitely notice that I am not there! He said I could come back to work any time next week if we decided to come back early! LOL! I have yard check in the morning and then I need to catch up the few things I didn't get to today and we can head to Danforth! Everyone seems ready to go! Colleen spent the day shopping and getting ready to leave and I need to pack the car and take a shower and get ready to go! I will be gone until next Saturday so I will TTYL. I am out!

Two More Days!
T-Minus...
Two days and counting! Saturday afternoon and we will be off to camp! I need to pack the car tomorrow night and get together all the stuff we will need for camp! Jessi is bringing a friend to play with and I am bringing a five year old boy for me to play with! I am also bringing an old man to play with, too! LOL. I think I will wait until the sun goes down to work out! I did notice that since I lost 65 pounds, the really hot weather doesn't bother me that much! It is hot! The shop was like a sauna and I have the only A/C in the shop! Not because of me- because both my bosses work in there too! I better make my wife a list of things I want for camp or I am going to be SOL.
Work Was...
OK today, I guess! It had its moments where it was crazy and most of the day was manageable! AJ is taking the pager for me next week so that shouldn't be a problem. We have most of the nine new trucks we got in done and the week has been crazy! The pager has been very quiet! I have only had three calls all week and I had it Saturday and Sunday night, too! Well, off to relax for a bit before the sun goes down and I can work out! Later

Not Too Bad!
Today Was...
Not too bad at work! Alex was kind of testy and the day went by kind of slow but it wasn't as bad as the rest of the week has been! It wasn't as busy on the phone as it has been all week and even though we were really busy in the shop, the day seemed manageable! Jerry was in rare form as usual and Shooter had me laughing out loud! AJ was his normal, rude, perverted self and I was Rick! I flipped the switch this morning and before I knew it, it was noon!
I Am Very...
Sore tonight! I switched the order up on my work out last night and it kicked my butt! I need to work out hard this week because there is ZERO chance that I work out even once next week! I can't wait to get to camp and go fishing and relaxing and eating with my family! I LOVE camp! I wish my parents could make it for the whole week but I will enjoy them when they are there!
Cooper Got...
sprayed by a skunk last night! If you don't know Cooper, he is an Australian Shepherd and I had thought up to that point that he was a pretty good dog. Well, I went to go to work this morning and found the carcass of the skunk that sprayed him on the path to my car with its neck broke! I love that dog! Skunk sprayed him and he said, "Oh no you don't, Mister skunk!" and took care of him as the Sopranos would say! I put the skunk on a shovel, dragged him out back and disposed of him! The real reason I am proud of Cooper is that he proved to me that if anything threatened my son in or around my house, that dog has his back and that is one BAD dog! Really, who has ever heard of a dog killing a skunk that sprayed them? That is awesome!
OK, I Actually...
Have a cool skunk story so maybe I will tell that tonight! OK, you twisted my arm- I will tell it! When I was younger, a bunch of us young men would take tents and food and beer and stuff out in the woods and camp out for the night. We had a favorite spot three miles from any roads and we would eat, chat and drink and usually stay up all night! One night, it got to be like 1130PM and we were all pretty hammered and I decided I needed to take a pee. I got up from the camp fire, grabbed a flashlight and headed out to find a place to relieve myself. I walked probably 50 feet from the camp and started taking care of business! I flashed the light out and saw what I thought was a black and white cat walking towards me! I thought to myself what is a cat walking towards me for? I gave the 'cat' a kick that sent him flying and realized it was a skunk! He was so surprised I kicked him, he didn't even spray and just went running off! I didn't even get a warning spray from him! LOL. Later

PETA
Usually...
I am not a big current events guy! I don't talk about much other than my work, my friends or my family. But look who is in the news now trying to capitalize on the whole Vick dogfighting charges and indictment! My favorite organization to hate, PETA! Why do I hate PETA? Well, if you know me even a little bit, I think you know the answer to that! First, I am not real big on people telling me what I should and shouldn't do! You got a better chance of convincing the pope to be Jewish than you do of convincing me that hunting is bad or not to hunt! Secondly, people are supposed to eat animals! That is why we are classified as omnivores, not herbivores! An omnivore eats both meat and plants and a herbivore eats just plants.
I Don't Have...
A problem with someone not wanting to eat meat. I really don't care what another person eats as long as they don't want to eat me or other people! I don't care if someone else likes or wants to hunt- that is totally their choice and they can do whatever they want! Last time I checked, this was still America! Hunting is legal and a very valuable and useful tool to control animal populations and starvation! Hunting is highly regulated with seasons, bag limits and tagging systems! Wardens enforce the rules and laws and people pay fines and go to jail! Hunting license fees pay for state organizations, habitat development and law enforcement. My problem is with someone who has never hunted or even attempted to try hunting telling me I shouldn't hunt! How the hell do they know so much about hunting if they have never gone? Believe it or not, hunting usually doesn't involve a 12 pack, machine gun or mass, bloody massacre! Hunting is peaceful, quiet, stealth, camouflage, control and patience. If done right, hunting ends with something dying! It is hunting- not knitting! Every hunter wants to kill an animal cleanly and humanely! I am so glad my father taught me to hunt! I love to hunt and I know that something is going to die if I do my part correctly! I am ok with that. I don't lose sleep because a deer might die from a bullet I shot! My son will hunt- I have no doubt about this! He will respect guns, he will respect the deer he chases and he will respect the woods! He will learn things like hard work, getting up early, patience, resilience, not giving up, buck fever and the exhilaration of seeing and shooting your first deer! No hippy who doesn't shave her armpits or hugs trees will ever take that away from me! I am thinking of starting my own organization- PETT People for the Ethical Treatment of Tofu!

Perfect Sunday, Sucky Monday
Yesterday...
Was an awesome day! I went to the dump then went to get Dad's trash and Mom shows me a clipping of an open house at a deer farm in Carmel! I talked Colleen into going and we all headed out! We had a great time on the hay wagon ride and got to see lots of deer- red deer! They are in the elk family and can't breed with our deer! I learned a lot of stuff about the deer and how a deer farm works! We had a great time and Colleen got lots of pictures. We came home, had some lunch and took a nap and then Sean and I went fishing. We caught lots of sunfish and then stopped and caught some chubs and cat fish. Then Colleen and I watched Big Brother 8 and I went to bed.
Today...
Was no where near as good a day! It was a typical busy Monday with too many people giving me attitude for me trying to do my job! I really need a break from work! Vacation couldn't come at a better time and my wife cheered me up the second I got home! I need to go take a shower and change in some comfy clothes and see if I can wash this day away and start fresh tomorrow. Can't wait for five more days to be over and to go to camp! Later

AAHHH Sunday!
I Have Been...
Looking forward to this day all week! I need to go to the dump and work out today and I plan on having both of those done by noon time! I want to take Sean fishing this afternoon and see if we can catch some big old fish! LOL. Well, I am off to get another cup of coffee and see what the rest of the day holds! Later

Saturday Night
And I Am Back on Call!
Well, six more days and I am on vacation so it isn't all bad! Stupid thing hasn't gone off yet tonight but I have faith that it will! LOL. Planning a quiet night watching a movie and vegging out! I haven't slept very well this week with yard check and my sleep being all messed up! I was supposed to work out tonight but I scrapped it so I can do it tomorrow and get back in the rhythm I was in this last week! Sean can't wait to go to camp and frankly, neither can I! I am really looking forward to a week away from work! Well, off to watch a movie and answer 16 pages! Later
