New Look, Same Great Fun!

So, like the new look? Thought I'd try something new with the logo. I still working on a replacement just in case things get a tad dull. Plus I streamlined the Mandatory Linkage for webites I visit more often than the others. Also, since last time my Jimmy failed inspection and got repaired. (I have one kidney now..) And my yard got mowed. And then the hay bailer went thru.

It started this past Tuesday. Toy Hunt '09 is in full swing! I plan to go to the big flea market on Memorial Day, but it seems the weatherman is calling for rain. If it does, oh well it won't disappoint me in the littlest bit. It means more time over at my in-laws. On Tuesday, though, I saw one very interesting piece. A Corgi James Bond car that turned into a sub. The guy wanted $25 but I didn't go for it. I was holding out for something I ended up not seeing. Just try to read the list up above. I really wrote it down fast this year.
Today was 'Family Fun Day.' It was the day the wifey, the ladykiller and I got together with my mom and stepfather and went on a tourist binge of Lancaster County PA. (For those who live out of southern PA a quick word... It's pronounced Lancaster not Lan-caster.) After a artery clogging breakfast buffet we headed to take a horse and buggy ride. Alex really liked and had a good time. I on the otherhand, thought I was gonna get sick at the beginning of the ride. I was still suffering from eating too much at breakfast.

After the buggy ride, we went to the Strasburg Railroad. If you visit Lancaster, you almost have to ride this train. Alex is 16 months old and he's been on it four times. I've only been on it three times. That little bum, besting his father. Then, after the train ride, we went and had a very light lunch at a local ice cream shoppe and headed back to my mom's house. Where, with no questions asked, this turned out to be the over all consensus of everyone.

Shhh... Catch you on the flipside.

Yard Work, Sound Engineering, & Other Short Stories

Hi! So I find myself with a lot to tell but I can seem to put it down on the screen. I guess when in doubt, start off with the ladykiller climbing steps over at my mom's.

A couple weeks ago at church I was asked to run the sound system while the regular sound engineers went on vacation. The Sunday I was to do it went smoothly. I was expecting to write about how 100 people went deaf because of the feedback whistle I was gonna accidently cause. Thank God that didn't happen. I got lucky this time....

My poor yard. I mowed it about a week and a half ago. I try to get it once a week, but it's been raining off and on the past couple of days. It's getting so long. After I mow it the next time, I'm gonna need a bailer to gather the clippings. Oh yeah, also I have to mow my dad's lawn on top of that..

My GMC Jimmy (Claudia - because all cars and trucks should be named after women) got her Pennsylvania car inspection this past weekend. Sadly, she failed, requiring all new ball joints and 2 tires. That definitely hurt the wallet. I got her back yesterday and now she runs a lot better. I guess it falls under the good things catagory.

Alex? Well, he's doing a lot better. Last week he was sick and miserable. Monday, he turned around and was back to his ladykiller ways. In fact, he's now knows what a camera is as this next picture shows.

So that's a short update. Oh, the 2009 Toy Hunt List didn't get scanned in but it will be up very shortly. Flea market season starts very soon and I'm itching to get cracking on it. Catch you on the flipside!

Next Time: BIG CHANGES!!!! Stay tuned!
