go to work, send your kids to school, follow fashion, act-normal, walk on the pavement, watch TV, save for your old age, obey the law.

Repeat after me: I am free

Stupid Dog

Posted on October 14, 2009 by Brian Gallimore

I was pretty happy with my fall garden progress, I had a good crop of lettuce, peas, and spinach well on their way.  You might be able to guess what I thought when I looked out the window Monday morning to see Dasher nested in the garden!  It looks like he traveled up and down the length of the bed several times, digging up various areas to find that perfect pillow-top feel.

Golf Cart Loses Wheel

Posted on October 14, 2009 by Brian Gallimore

You might remember me bitching about these little golf carts we have to ride on a while back, so I felt the need to take a few pictures of one of them today. I never did hear who rode in on this one, guess they are lucky the wheel didn’t fall off while they were in transit.

Garden Update – October 11, 2009

Posted on October 11, 2009 by Brian Gallimore

img_4626I’ve had some little broccoli and spinach seedlings for over a week now, but it has been raining every day it seemed.  I put on my work boots and slopped through the backyard to get them in the dirt this evening.  The rain gauge had 5″ of rain in it.  I tore out 4 okra plants that were getting huge.  I never did harvest the okra, not sure I’ll plant any of this next year.
img_4630 These are a few lettuce plants I bought from North Haven Gardens a few weeks ago. This cool wet weather seems to make them pretty happy.
img_4631 Here are some little spinach plants popping up from seed planted a few weeks ago. I’m told that spinach will grow all winter long in the DFW area. I hope they are right.
img_4634 The pepper plants are still producing. I wonder how much longer it will be before they give up with our cold weather. I need to pick off some of the peppers and save the seeds. Those little bell peppers are the best tasting ones I’ve ever had. I’m going to plant lots of them next year.
img_4635 The cantaloupe has pretty much died too. I was hoping for more production out of these plants. The fruit I did get was very tasty.
img_4636 The pole beans I planted in the spring are still producing, even though I haven’t keep them picked. The pre-made nylon string webbing worked better than the natural fiber twine I used. I’ll try to stock up on this stuff for next year.
img_4637 The pole beans I planted with my corn in the early spring are still producing too. They would have been better off with something to climb, but I just left them in the bed to add nitrogen to the soil for next year.

The New Train Table

Posted on October 11, 2009 by Brian Gallimore

We went and picked up a train table from a family that has kids that are older and no longer play with it. Bryson really likes it. He has not wanted to leave it alone all weekend. There are little embedded RFID chips in different parts of the track that make the motorized train engine do different things like stop, whistle, and turn on its lights. I’ve had a good time playing with it too! (Please disregard the muddy window in the background)

This boy cracks me up. Check out the hip motion. I don’t think he inherited this from either me or Amber.

Responses to BO’s Nobel Prize

Posted on October 9, 2009 by Brian Gallimore

I just went through the facebook updates related to the president receiving a Nobel peace prize. I’m recording the responses here, without anyone’s identity. (is it OK to do that?)
—
gotta love my president!! President Obama wins Nobel Peace

If you laugh at Obama’s Nobel, you side with terrorists

The Nobel Peace Prize for an American President, what a triumph and what a burden to have, congrats Mr. President!

thinks the peace prize award is premature, but is really enjoying watching the Fox nutters head’s explode with anger.

has honest intentions of writing a great piece of literature someday. It will be awesome, I promise. Can I have a Nobel Prize now?

President Obama wants to put people in jail if they don’t buy health insurance. Give that man a peace prize!

What kind of crap is this?? He hasn’t done anything except spend money which hasn’t simulated anything more than what a Viagra would do! Wow the Nobel Prizes are starting to look like Heisman Awards!

Dear Nobel Peace Prize Committee: You’re FIRED!

Obama wins the Nobel prize??? For what? Things he is going to do…nomination deadline feb 1, he became president Jan 20th…who keeps promoting this guy for doing nothing? Nobel prize is a joke Jimmy Carter and al gore also won this….

It’s funny that the top two stories on Yahoo are…
1) Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize
2) Suicide car bomb kills 49 and wounds 100 in Pakistan.

Obama won the Nobel peace prize for what? Befriending terrorists? Oh! I get it !!

Nobel Peace Prize? Wow you have got to be kidding…

Thinks maybe he can win the Nobel Peace Prize…

thinks that the Nobel Peace Prize being awarded to a President with less than a year in office and whose own home town is embattled with violence makes NO sense.

Yet again the Nobel committee on peace has decided to put politics above accomplishments. Next year I am going to nominate my wife, she really thinks that there should be peace in this world too, which makes her more than qualified.

I hereby nominate my younger sister, Beth, for the Nobel Peace Prize for the work that she does with bratty high school kids.
