...is playing in Seattle on the 30th. I wish I'd known that earlier, since my first day back to work from my vacation (which started at exactly 2215 hours on 7-20) happens to be on the 30th of this month. Sonofa.....I totally would have rescheduled, even though my plans for this week off consist of completely relaxing. I'm not big on concerts, ( Read more... )

I saw a quote once stating "youth is lost on the young." A quick google search yielded no means of proper citation so I must leave it there. That being said, I couldn't agree with the quote more. It has been an interesting week. Or several for that matter, but for the sake of brevity I will leave it at that. I'm on vacation right now, and just ( Read more... )

I did some cooking today, something I haven't done in far too long. Actually it was more prepping than cooking but I digress. I now have a bunch of chicken and the fillets from the catfish I caught last night marinating in vaccum sealed, single portion sized amounts in my fridge. I also concocted a sweet and spicy peanut sauce/glaze that I did ( Read more... )

Today being a Tuesday I find myself in the position of trying to figure out things to do, as I am not at work. My internet connection has been down for a few days and the wonderful folks at my service provider have been less than overly helpful. I'm currently sitting at a little coffee shop a few blocks down from my apartment, making use of their ( Read more... )

I'm FREE!!! There's still more discussion to be had but the important thing is....we're done, and I strangely enough I'm in a really good mood about it.

In more interesting news that I actually seem to care about more than the issues discussed in my earlier post, I went fishing today. I caught a nice smallmouth bass right off the bat, and then proceeded to catch absolutely nothing except for a bit of sun. I saw a huge beaver swimming around as well as an otter. Upon returning home I noticed that ( Read more... )

Holy ASS it's cold out. I worked outside the last three days, most of the time was spent standing or sitting, with the exception of several laps around the yard track as needed. I'm chilled to the bone. I'm glad it's my Friday, I believe I'm going to draw a hot bath and sit in it for a while, and probably sleep in until it's time to go to my ( Read more... )

I finally got a new (used) truck! I've been looking and had a friend from work ask about buying the ranger off of me, he took it for a drive and liked it so I went ahead and bought a 2004 Chevy Silverado extended cab and will sell him the ranger tomorrow.

I realized not too long ago that I had not eaten today. I figured that this might be something I should fix and set about making up some stir fry. 2 chicken breasts, 1/2 of a habereno pepper diced since a little bit goes a long way, thai peanut sauce and some frozen stir fry veggies from costco that I've actually been pretty pleased with so far ( Read more... )

After a few years of having a design in mind and talking about getting it done, I finally got my first tattoo this afternoon. I love it. Pictures of it and updated pictures of me will be posted at a later venture, when I get my lazy ass in gear and take some proper pictures.
