We leave tomorrow morning

But until then I stay here, bored and waiting for beloved to get home.

SO!

I got bored today. So I invited a friend over. Actually I didn't invite him, I found him. So I picked him up and brought him inside to play!

Meet Toby. He's my new friend.






We had lunch together.


But he kinda turned up his nose at it....


so then I pretended to put him in the Garbage disposal.


I'm not sure if he thought it was funny, but I thought it was.

The I turned on the oven and started to sing "home, home on the range"


Again as I heard no laughter, and as he sunk deeper into his shell, I seriously doubted it this turtle had any sense of humor.

anyhoo.

This is what toby looks right side up.


This is what he looks like upside down.


I hear that if you moisten the underside of a turtle, they act like a natural suction cup. But as the oven and the garbage disposal didn't go over all that great, I decied it was best not to try.

Sensing that my guest was bored I offered a game of tri-ominos. Word to the wise- NEVER ask a turtle to play a game of tri-ominos.

HE beat the tar outta me AND drank my last dr pepper.


After winning he got his choice of movie to watch. His favorite movie was "master of disguise" I think we watched the turtle club part over and over a million times.


After the movie I showed him my blog. Yeah he said I was cool.


We were watching for wildlife on the back thirty five acres.....(I think he was scoping for turtle hotties)


when he asked me if we could go for a jeep ride, I said that it would be fine.


In the end I think we had a great day.

Luke demands

therefore I post.

So I'm posting.




This is me posting.


I post.









seriously I've got nuthin.
I wasn't gonna post til I had something to post about.

um.....

After the massive rains there's been water on the front yard for so long that there's moss growing in parts of it now.

I shot a spider yesterday. It rivaled the one I saw and killed at sekan when I first moved here.

I think we lost three pine trees in the brush fire we started. Yeah, it was worth it.

The dogs haven't taken to expanding their vocabulary very well. They kinda got stuck on "bark". Although their pronounciation is improving greatly.

I think I'm gonna go play with the chainsaw this afternoon. I think I'd be a good lumberjack, I got tons of flannel shirts and wool socks.

Janelles working today so I might go over to thayers house and play with his new xbox 360. At least until supper, then I'm gonna come home and eat chocolate cake.

Yesterday I had chocolate cake for breakfast, and then I had chocolate cake for lunch, and then I had chocolate cake for supper. Yeah, Janelle was working yesterday too. The cake was the only consolation I had.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY MOM!!

The puppies wouldn't go to bed last night, they got way to hyper. (no idea where they get it from). So I went outside and swatted them both and chucked them into their box. I held them down til they quit struggling and then I rubbed their tummies (yeah I just said tummies, wanna make something of it?) til they calmed down. If they tried playing I just swatted them in the head.

It worked pretty good.

I bet that works with kids to.

Someone try that one out and tell me how it goes.

Someone also needs to tell Dennis Rocke hi.

and Tim Hohulin.

and like everybody in Roanoke.

hi guys.

Huge hihowareya goin out to mike and deb in colorado. Hey I thought of you when I used the wench the other day. I high centered the jeep on some rocks messing around on the property. There was a select few wedding presents that I claimed and told janelle that I loved her with all my heart but she would have to go get her own. That was one of them. I told her she could have almost everything else.

Thats all I have.
I'm go gonna get some cake.

The truth as I remember it

Well, ask yourselves this, is it more fun to mow a lawn, or to burn stuff? If someone said mow lawns, then i pity you and you need to come over to my house when the wife isn't home and we'll play with matches together.

Of course to all other REGULAR people out there like me with the "pyros" label that society so unfortunate slapped us with; (just cause we think fire is cool doesn't mean that we want to set the world on fire..... kinda ) would say different.

Question: try and bushwack an over grown area or burn it.

Yeah that's a hard one.

Actually with the help of my father in law and my wife's two brothers we kept it pretty much under control almost the entire time. We might of lost a pine tree but I think it might pull through. Anyhoo....

But today is a different story, we are finishing up a week solid of rain and now instead of a yard
we have a lake.


Yesterday was one of the nastier storms that we have had. Some of the hail even knocked a hole in our gutters.


Right now I hear thunder. I don't think the storms are done yet. It's all good though, we are seriously behind on rain.
