Entry for October 21, 2007 – Concrete Foundation

After several weeks of non-work, I finally poured the concrete for my shed foundation. I went with a service that mixes the concrete on-site, rather than mix it at the factory and just deliver it. This has a few advantages, you only pay for what you need, and you don’t have to deal with too much or too little if your volume calculations were wrong. I used a total of 6 1/2 cubic yards for my little job.

The noise this truck makes is terrific. Check out this video to hear all the pumps, vibrators, screw conveyor, etc in action:

Women Can't Park!

I even watched it happen, my own mother. If I had video, it would have been a keeper! The front tire is a good distance from the curb, the rear tire, not even touching the road. There’s a reason BFGoodrich puts a triple sidewall on these tires.

This is the way the Jeep she attempted to park in front of our house looked like this weekend. I’m sure my neighbors enjoyed it as much as I did.

Entry for October 15, 2007 – Guns Up, Bitch!

When I finally made it to the office this morning (pouring rain), a VERY nice Texas Tech trash can was sitting on my desk with the following note:

Inside the trash can was this note:

I can never make comments about Aggie fans… they are first class!

Amber and I were invited over to watch the game with mostly Aggies… it was a rough start when aTm scored first, I thought “this is going to be painfull”. But, we were just playing with them in the beginning, and the domination started and things were good. Steve had lots of good food and beer ready for us all, and we had a great time. I think he is the one who came up with the trash can gig too, so thanks Steve!

(I just talked to my friend who was at the game in Lubbock. He was telling me about all the BS that the TTU fans put him through, so I’m not too proud of their actions)

We had a busy weekend and I have some good pictures to post, but I was up until 2am finally doing my 2006 taxes so I’m beat and haven’t had time yet. Amber posted some of them
here and here, so check them out.

Entry for October 06, 2007 – Woodsball Saturday

We had a good turn out on Saturday for paintball. The weather was nice, not to hot, and we didn’t get rained on either. I got tore up this time, about 20 bruises and 30 chigger bites.

Here is a slide show:

I uploaded a 2 minute video of Bryson, but I can’t seem to get it to embed into this blog. It is working over on Amber’s blog if you want to look there, or go here.

Entry for September 30, 2007 – Should I Panic?

When I went to log into my bank account tonight to pay some bills, I had a very strange notice appear instead of the normal login screen, saying the bank had been closed by the “Office of Thrift Supervision“. Hell, I didn’t even know what that mean, so I had to look it up.

The press release makes me think the FDIC has me taken care of. I guess the guv-mint can be a good thing. Guess I’m about to find out.
