2011/06/09 - Thursday - Appointment

The kids had their dentist appointments.

The Jeep needed some more fuel - so a stop to get the Jeep a drink.

Next stop Eric and I got to close to some clippers.

A quick stop a W-M and then go get some dinner for the night.

2011/04/12 - Tuesday - Finishng the paper work

I finally got my hair cut - it was getting a little long for me.

I know - you really wanted to know that.   Well I also use this blog as a way to keep track of things - sorry but our lives is not always fun and games - but life goes on.

I checked the taxes and they have been accepted, so I printed off the paper work.

I did call my brother to check if I was still able to spend the week after Easter with him and he said yes, I might be able to ride with him the following weekend, with a long Sunday drive home.

I also called GG and she is excited that we (the kids and I) are coming up.

2008/06/14 – Saturday – Stuff

I got woke up by work – so off I went in.

Cheryl went got her nails done.

I took Zircon to the groomers, on the way back I got my hair cut also.

I was waiting for Cheryl to return, I took a nap.

I painted the driver side of the trailer.

It was now time to pick up Zircon.

I went running around. I finally found the Navy Blue for the trailer. I then headed over to the pet store to get some Frontline for the pets. I did stop at AAA but they were closed. I will need to go over sometime during the week before we leave.

I painted the rest of the trailer.

We got ready for the party and headed on down. We tried to find parking, but it was not easy, so we decided to valet parking instead.

The party was fun. Eric and I played two sets of shuffleboard (table version). Eric also played a few rounds of pool with the grad girl. Later during the party, Amanda and I did one round. She was ahead by 6 points, but by the end I won and of course she was not as happy when she was winning. She did claim latter that her wrist was starting to bug her. Eric did have a chance to go play the video games.

We were on of the last groups to leave the party.

Now back home, I put some of the Frontline on all the pets – so that way, they are ready to defend all the fleas and ticks while on vacation.

2008/04/26 – Saturday – Fixing Box

Well, I did get up and get my haircut. Once that was done, I drove down to the RV place to get a refund. So now I have to wait for the parts guy to call and find the correct part.

I did a quick stop at The Gear Shop and talked to him for a little bit.

Cheryl, Amanda, Eric and Friend went to get the girls stuff done.

I went and got the wood necessary for fixing the box on the trailer.

It was getting hot, so went in and turned the AC on and relaxed a little bit, waiting for the rest of the family to return.

The kids finally worked on the RV. It is almost completed cleaned – just a few extra things needs to be done.

I finally finished working on the box and painted it so now it is all secured.

The house is hot and I am tired – so off to bed a little early (compared to any other time)

2008/02/09 - Saturday - Fixing Things

The week had nothing new, so nothing to really document. But one minor thing I guess – Amanda did not clean her aspect of the RV. So the RV is still not cleaned out. Eric also had a flat tire on Thursday so we had to take him to school on Friday.

Saturday I worked on the RV and got the box dropped, but I need to get a few things before I can finish that – so that will happen on Monday or Tuesday.

I finally finished the floor in the dinning room that is I finished the kitchen and dinning room edge.

Now Rosie is not working correctly; I have cleaned it toughly, but still not working correctly. I really do not want to buy a new one, but it looks like I need to.

2007/10/10 – Saturday – Defense Mine

I got up and headed out to go for a trail ride. But I was still undecided.

Finally I got in line for Defense Mine and of course joined in as part of the trail crew. When I finally got to waterfall zero, I tried it, well I was a little to far to the right and almost rolled the Jeep onto the driver side. Two guys had to keep some additional weight to stop me from going over. I was able to backup and recover before trying again. I finally made it up it – hurray.

The remaining part of the trail to the mine was ok. We ate lunch and now it was time to head back down.

Now a group that wanted to do Cummings Cutoff would be guided up it – well of course I wanted to.

The beginning of the cutoff has a nice hard section to climb up at the beginning. It took me about three different tries. The next hard part required me to use the boulder bars to pivot on but it did require a little finesse and not hitting the wall on the passenger side. The next obstacle had two ways of trying it. I went up the wall without any major problems. Now the last obstacle (waterfall/v-notch) was a major challenge. The first two attempts stopped my progress. The third attempt I climbed the wall on the driver side and while I was still having forward progression I could hear the passenger tail lights being destroyed. Once I completed the cutoff, I parked on the road out – I check the taillight and sure enough it was destroyed.

We had another guy break his rear hubs, so we had to do a lot of work using several jeeps including mine to help winch him up and out.

Once we got everybody out of the cutoff it was time to head back to camp.

When I pulled into camp I can hear air hissing out of one of my tires. So I dropped off my passenger and head for my trailer and put the Jeep onto the trailer.

I headed on over to the main camp and did the usual raffle activities. Eric did win one raffle item. I even won a raffle item.

After the raffle, I stayed around the campfire and had a good time with my other Desert Dawgs club members.

I didn’t get to bed until a little after one – one long day – but good!

2007/06/02 – Saturday – Work & Play

Cheryl and Amanda went and got their hair done.

I worked on the computer a little.

I then talked with two different neighbors. When Cheryl finally came home (with lunch) I finally came home and at lunch.

I worked on the wood – cut it up into the appropriate size. I had to stop so I could get ready for your evening out.

We went to a dinner theater and watched Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat, our family, mom Delp and boy friend, Mom Delp sister. We all had a good time.

I then worked on all the computers to remove a BOINC project that was causing problems on all the machines.

2007/05/17 – Thursday – Cut

Lunch was with a group of 5 to a Greek food place near Dales.

When I got home, I told Eric we needed to go someplace. I got the keys for ‘Blue’ and he jumped in. But it took a few extra turn of the key to get her started. Once she was started, we headed on over to get our haircut.

Cheryl came home early because she is still not feeling good.

Once both of us got your hair cut, I did not have enough money to pay the bill, so a quick trip to the ATM and back to pay him.

Cheryl took Amanda to the youth group, while Eric and I relaxed.

My back is still hurting. I have been taken Alive and Bear back meds, but I am still hurting. Now I am wondering if it’s my weight. But that’s another story….

Wednesday – Another day

Well, lunch was with a buddy at Pino Pizza – Ham and Cheese sub – good.

O shoot – I forgot to mention I finally got my hear cut on Tuesday.

Once at home, I work on my desk, I did get a lot of the junk mail sorted out and my stacks did get smaller, but the stacks are still too big!
