Adventures on the Ridge
Well it was a good evening. Dinner was had, homework was done. Kids went to bed. I was just chatting with some friends and it was about 12:30 pm. I was going to go take a shower. Then head for bed. Well 1 am rolls around meh. No big deal. Its not like I have to be to work in the morning. So I'm watching some youtube and just generally goofing off. At about 1:10 am the whole house shook. Woke everybody up out of sleep. I was like, "What the Hell?" So I go and look out the back door. And up on the road I see a set of lights that aren't moving. "Well Hell. Someones gone and fallen asleep and ran off the road." Well I tell jess whats going on and i get out there just a couple of minutes later. Walk up to where the disabled vehicle is. Its a large Rollback truck. At first it was just me and then another guy came up. We looked all in the truck and couldn't find the driver. Went down to the store and called it in at 1:18 am So some more people showed up by now and thats when a startling discovery was made. The truck was boosted, stolen whatever. :) So long story short? I just kinda hung out with the guys until everything was cleaned up. I am very tired now as it is after 5 am and I have had no sleep. perhaps I'll grap a power nap or something.

Ok. So the power nap was like from 5:30 to 6:30 and I was able to get the kids up and dressed and out the door to school. That was a minor adventure in itself. The kids got up just fine and didn't give me any problems. Then I took them to school. After I got back me and the wife went down to the court house to vote. We stopped at Hardee's for breakfast and made our voting selections. Then we stopped at the coffee shop where I had my first of many Triple Espresso mocha Latte. Ok I had One, but I will have more. Damn it was good. So that kept me going until the afternoon. We went to Christiansburg and totally blew our budget currently. We got both of the new JD Robb books. We have been listening to Eternal in death. Eve Dallas goes up against Vampires. LOL so far its been a good book. I really like the Eve Dallas Universe. It was really hard to stay awake on the way back from Christiansburg but I made it. Took another little power nap at 2:45p and woke up at 3:45p Then I was headed out to get the boys hair cuts. There were family members in from my Father-in-law's mothers funeral and I also ran into a Detective from Surrey County. He asked me a few questions about the previous evenings events. After that we all got hair cuts. I got my goatee back and the boys have nice looking hair cuts. Also my barber had a few computer questions. We sorta did a trade, I fixed some computer problems for her and she gave us hair cuts. I guess she was happy with the work. I have a nice hair cut. She even stayed open late for us. I appreciated that very much. After that we had to figure out what was happening for dinner. It was a tossup between Pizza. What kind. Like all good families we compromised... got Chinese instead. Yay team. So after that we came back had dinner, did home work and now the boys are doing what I need to. Sleep :) I will at some point get to bed no doubt. I have to finish the story and then I get to start on the new JD Robb. Sigh. I will have lots to listen to this week. Makes the week go by faster. Well that just about wraps up my 48 hour day. I think I will go finish my story and then get some sleep.
