Action Packed

Sunday I was one of the fortunate sols to watch (in person) Brett Farve throw TD pass 421 and 422. Breaking Dan Marinos record of 420... Lucky for me Brett did it right away, because I had a few to many to drink.

Also, a special shot out to some Yoopers that made this all possible.. Scott, Ross and Desi... Especially Desi, for putting up with my drunk ass....

Sold!!!

After six days we found a buyer and have a deal. It a big relief but it didn't come easy. Amy and I put a lot of work in this last month on our home getting it ready and it paid off.

Again, stay tuned for updates on our new home...

Joey's Back

We have found that Joey has a new use as a dishwasher..

This one's for you Rudi................

Busy Beavers

I know it’s been a long time since my last blog, but Amy and I have been extremely busy since she returned to Rochester.

Amy got back from Dallas on August 1st and we started house hunting on the 2nd and after a month and about 40 homes we decided on a new home. The house should be finished in December and I will be updating the progress as we go along.

Yesterday our house went on the market… and if you know anyone that is looking for a house close to St. Mary’s… this could be your house!!!

So not only have we been looking at homes but we have been working on getting ours ready to sell.

More to come… and sorry for not blogging..

Big "D" and that "D" is not for Dallas...

This is our final weekend in Dallas.. We have really enjoyed our experience but it will be nice to have Amy home next weekend in Rochester.

Last weekend we finally went to the gay-neighborhood in Dallas. We lucky had a guide, JD. He is very poupular in the gay-neighborhood. Infact, he has a tramp stamp…. JD took us to a gay cowboy bar. I think it was the cleanest bar I have ever been in.

Joe had a big day. He helped move mommie this morning and flew home from Dallas w/o poops or pees on the plane this evening. . I can't say the same.

Kwik Kwote

I don't get it.. Everyone puts quotes on their emails these days.. Why? Now people are putting them on bathroom check lists. I guess its better than their email

No Pump'n Munch

Joey and I are in Dallas today and we decided to check out one of 12 Kwik-E-Mart’s that 7-Eleven has made-over in a promotion for the up coming Simpson’s Movie.

You will notice that this Kwik-E-Mart is authentic, right down to the Squishee Machine. I passed on the 570 calories and got a 64oz Double Gulp of Diet Dr. Pepper, Big-Tone would be proud.


Apu Quotes....

1/2 Naked Nate

Amy and I have a friend Nate and he has his own blog that we enjoy looking in on from time-to-time to see what Nate and his family are doing. Usually, it has something to do with Nate and Christine’s daughter Anisley mastering something that I can only dream of accomplishing someday…

However, I have noticed a common theme over the last year… Nate posts a lot of pictures of himself on his blog w/o a shirt on… I think that’s a little odd… So, above you will find a collogue of photo’s of Nate w/o his shirt on that I retrieve from his blog…

To be fair.. Nate does wear shirts on Sundays…..

Mess with Da'Bull

Believe it or not.. Not only does this bull have two idiots by the ass on his horns but these idiots are brothers Michael, right, and Laurence Lenahan and are Americans. The brothers where participating in the traditional bull run in Pamplona, Spain this year. Apparently, it was the bulls fault because he strayed from the pack turned around and ran the wrong way. Stupid bull……

Doc, it seems that I have a little blood in my stool…

Tools of the Trade

People always ask me what kind of screws I sell Mayo. I guess this would be a good example of that… In fact, I lent my advice to size, type and material of screw needed to repair this device.

This is also a good example that nothing goes to waste at the WFMC…

Yopper Ki-Yay

We have been having a great 4th of July vacation in the UP.. However, we did push our luck on Friday night by attending The Bruce Willis Band show at the local casino. Bruce Willis sucks.. He was late, had to read the music because he couldn’t remember the words, and kept apologizing for the poor performance as people walked out….

Later we met up with some friends (see Amy w/Danielle below) at The Sand Bar in Gladstone and found the local band Driver to be much better than Bruce Willis..

And yes.... Bruce did say yippie ki-yay mother f*#ker..........

Big Kow

If you’re ever in the Oshkosh, WI area with time to spare you need to venture about 40 miles to the west for this restaurant in Wautoma, WI. The Sivercryst is an “old school” restaurant and lounge supper club with a lake view. Good steaks, grilled prime rib, and a super cool bar.

Amy and I try to incorporate The Sivercryst into our treks home to the UP. And yes, we where drawn in by the big ass kow……

Naked Yooper?

MANISTIQUE, Michigan (AP) -- Researchers will visit Michigan's Upper Peninsula next month to search for evidence of the legendary creature known as "Bigfoot" or "Sasquatch” and/or Jason Micheau…

The expedition will focus on eastern Marquette County, said Matthew Moneymaker of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization.

"We'll be looking for evidence supporting a presence. ... We hope to meet local people who might have seen a Sasquatch or heard of someone else who had an encounter," Moneymaker told the Daily Press of Escanaba.

The legend of Bigfoot dates back centuries. But skeptics have challenged accounts of sightings, and practical jokers have staged hoaxes that have included grainy film footage of people dressed in costumes.

But Moneymaker said members of his organization have either glimpsed Bigfoot or gotten close enough to hear the creature in all but three of 30 expeditions in the United States and Canada.

The late Grover Krantz, a Washington State University professor who specialized in cryptozoology, the study of creatures that have not been proven to exist, believed Bigfoot was a "gigantopithecus," a branch of primitive man believed to have existed 3 million years ago.

Jet-setting Joey ready for his first flight. His ticket was more than mine. Joey’s ticket was $160 and mine was only $149.. He was a very good dog on the trip. However, he did fart on the way down.
