Cold day in hell

I actually rode my bike today for the first time in forever. It was nice to get out for a bit. I also cut my hair for the first time in a year and a half. I was afraid that I was starting to look like a hippie, and you know I can't have that. What else...Alicia and I are making a homade pizza, I'm enjoying a Trippel. Dillon is taking a nap. What have I been up to? Well, Christmas was nice, but busy. We went all over northwest Missouri, and a bit of Iowa in the mix too. Family, you know. Glad to be home. Dillon puked in my eye the other day. Great!! Not a lot else going on, I keep saying I have something interesting goingon, I'll tell soon...

Just a quickie

So on my way to work this morning, I was listening to the radio. The regular news guy must have been taking a crap or something, because I think they just brought in the janitor to do the news. I did learn that I have been misspronouncing gubernatorial though. According to Einstein this morning, it is now "goober national". Yep thats right. I almost wrecked my car. Maybe he meant G Ober nataional. Maybe someone in the back stockroom drew another "O" in there as a prank. A prize will go to anyone that can tell me what movie G Ober is from. Family members are not allowed in the contest.

LOAFING around

Yah, thats me. To clear things up a bit, the Limbo Kid wanted to know why I am wearing a shriners fez in my profile pic. I am a Freemason, Kid. And a Shriner. Suprised? It's actually a cool organization. My grandpa was a shriner and wanted me to join the lodge, so there you go. Speaking of te limbo kid, I hope things are going well for him. Kicking ass and taking names. Email me if you want. Anyhow, not a lot else going on. I am sick. Yah, I think I caught something from the little guy, he was a bit stuffy, but of course it had to settle into my lungs and become something nasty. Good deal, huh? So, no riding for me. No worries tho. I have had couple of new projects to keep me busy indoors anyhow. More on those later. Work is the usual, busy and boring and cold. Oh one cool thing, B-lake fired the Pudd yesterday, so now I will have to find someone else to vent my anger and frustrations on. I did get in some remote action yesterday, that is a gag that never gets stale. VJ put in some 70's disco stuff, hated it, so I was jacking with the stereo via remote. Actually, first he put in the Star Wars episode 4 a new hope music. So, what I would do was let the theme song run for about 5 seconds, then start it over. Again and again. Very annoying, but for some reason the people transferring film are clueless that I am doing this, and they think there is something wrong with the stereo. This is an old trick, and dates back to the days of Brad. So, he finally took the cd out and put in the disco. Every time the female vocalist would make a scream sound, I would repeat it over and over. Very entertaining for me. I used to do that when they would play Pink Floyd, especially during the part on The Wall where they say "Mother are they gonna try and break my balls?" I would just play "my balls" over and over like a broken record. Very funny. I even have a rf modulator that I plug into my computer sometimes so I can play sound clips from the net through the stereo while they are listening to music. There is a dictionary website that you can get the verbal proninciation of words like "knockwurst" or "penis" on. Can you imagine those words just popping up during your favorite cd? Anyway, I am bored when I work. Christmas is almost here, are you ready?

My wife, my master

Congratulations to Alicia!! She just received her Masters degree on Saturday! Dillon and I are so very proud of her and all of the hard work she put in. On top of working full time and going to school, she still made time to take care of Dillon and me. Thanks!!!

Lazy

I am getting bad about updating. Sorry. Do you think I need a haircut? So, I have been riding, but not outside. It is too cold. Instead, I have been riding my rollers, using my powercranks, wishing I was riding my mountain bike. I have been able to get caught up on some episodes of the Dukes of Hazzard, though. State cross was last weekend. I wasn't there, but from what I have heard, Butthead is the new state chimp, with Ethan coming in a close second. Good job guys, and good luck to Jimmiez and Mr. Head on their journey to Rhode Island. It's gonna be nasty there. What else?? Dillon is growing, plumping up. We took him to the doc for his 4 month the other day and he was almost 16.5 pounds!! He weighs almost as much as my road bike. Alicia has one more class left before she gets her masters!! Yay!!! I am very proud of her, especially for putting up with me while going to school full time. My work is sucking, things are getting stupid busy around there, and I am not very happy with some of the situations there. They keep hiring complete tools to do the work. It is fun torturing them, though. We have these really thick plastic ziplock bags that we put the customers film in, when you fill them up with air and pop them it is the equivalent of a small caliber pistol going off. Fun times. So, I have been using them to stay entertained. I like to scare the shit out of them, and yesterday I actually taped a couple of the newbies jumping out of their seats when I popped one. I am in the process of getting everything Les Claypool has ever done, it should be ready to burn later today. I have been buying and selling on ebay. Not a lot else.
