Saturday Scavenger Hunt

Done on Sunday because severe weather sucks my ass.

So the scavenger hunt word of the week was "bottle" as picked by me. Here is what I came up with.

Here they are, lovely maidens all in a row. These are my favorite "bottles" don't you know.



Some other favorite bottles in a friends wine cellar. He makes his own.


You DO NOT want to drink out of these bottles!!



And that is what I found for this weeks word. for next week I tag Tara! Thanks for letting me be a part of this fun little thing!

FUCK YOU DEER!

Dear Mr/Mrs Deer on County Road 2,


Go fuck your self and your complete lack of brains. Who in the hell would voluntarily run full speed in front of a nice TRAILBLAZER and completely fuck it up by hitting it?? You piece of crap. I hope you died a painful death in the woods, alone, and miserable. You suck for doing this to our beloved ride that we have not even made 1 payment on, you bastard!!!






New hood, new fender, new bumper, new headlight, new passenger door. That is the damage your worthless ass did to our sweet car. So once again, go fuck yourself. Asshole.

Strait Line Winds

Well we didn't get the tornado, but we sure did get strait line winds.

It started around 1:30 yesterday when I was making lunch for Ellie. I cut her cantaloupe and she was eating it. I gave her some Cheetos and milk. I was cutting up her chix nuggets when I noticed how black the sky was out the kitchen window. It was so black that it was dark like night out. So I gave Ellie her nuggets, and went out on the deck with the camera. I got out there and the skies lightened up considerably when I took this shot.



Within a minute or two the sky changed from the above picture to this.......





HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!



So a short 30 MINUTES LATER, the rain that was blowing straight sideways stopped and we decided to head upstairs to look at the damage.

This is what we found.








And this was just our house. We took a drive later in the night and here is some of what we saw.





Of course the last photo is what the weather turned into last night. Yes big fluffy clouds and blue sky. Go figure.

So we had a long afternoon of clean up yesterday, and a real long and hot day today. What do you do after storms like we had yesterday you might ask? Well you get ready for another f**king storm tonight that is producing an ass load of tornados. Yippee. Hopefully it will just rain and we will keep our power and AC tonight.

Wish us luck and hopefully we will be back to post tomorrow with no damage to the house or us!

Annual Dept. Party

Well this past weekend marked the return of a favorite amongst our 2 departments. The annual farm country, inter-department get together. This is the first year I have gone, but I have heard many stories. Let me tell you, Jen and Josh did not disappoint!!!


To start, my friend Kegs has a band that is named "Smooth Cooter" hence the tshirt you will see in the pictures. They were good and we had loads of fun listening and dancing and drinking. When they were done at 10, the hosts hired a DJ to start playing. Yes, thats right, a DJ!! It was loads of fun and we drank way to much. We left early, but from what I hear, it was a good thing we left before it got crazier than it already was.


So we left after lots of laughs and lots of pictures. Some I have, which you will see, and some I don't which I will get!


Here is what I got for now.




They handed out those neon glow necklaces and boy did we have fun with those. Instead of putting mine on my neck, or leg, or arm like most normal people, I decided to put it through the zipper of my pants as you can see from the photos above. Then Kris says "hey, why don't we see how many people we can get to take pictures licking your glow stick on their knees?" My friend Mongo (pictured above) and I thought this was a great idea, and ventured out to get as many shots as we could. Well we got more than we bargained for. I will have more pics when I get them from Mongo. Some I can show, and some I can't. But oh, they will be marvelous:)

Did I mention that the jeans I am wearing in those pics are Lucky's and I got 2 pair on Saturday at Macy's for $23 a piece!!! Who is king of bargains? Badge is the king of bargains!

Well that is all for now. Hopefully I will have some more funny pics for you soon.

Happy 4th

Its been a busy weekend, so this will be a short post for now.

It started on Friday at the pool. We hung out there for a couple hours before heading to Baypoint. It was fun. Around 3 we made our way to the park for family fun and bar-b-que. We ate, had laughs, and ate some more. Before we knew it we had to make our way to the spot we had saved to see the fireworks.










Then Today we headed over to Pepin, WI for some lunch at the Pickle Factory. Here are some of the things we saw there.







And thats about it. We had a very fun and busy weekend. All of us are wiped out and are probably going to be early tonight!!

One more thing before I go. I did get a chance this afternoon to update my other 2 blogs with new pictures for your viewing pleasure!

A Poll

The question is about sauce on steak.

Ketchup? A-1? Nothing?

Lets hear what you like!

P.S. I almost always put ketchup on my steaks. Unless I go to Manny's in the cities. Its the only steak I have ever had where it felt like a sin to put ANYTHING on the steak!

New Car?

Well we did it. We bought a new car yesterday. Here it is.



It is a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer. It came to us with only 36,000 miles on it. No more mini-van, no more of wife saying "I feel like an old lady driving the van" and "I am to young to drive a mini-van", and most import no more driving to town from the country with no 4 wheel drive.

That is what we did yesterday, how about you?
