On my way up to the storage unit I ran into a flock of turkeys.

The master system.

Too bad it didn't work.

Craftin y'all

Mom made me craft tonight. This is my creation.

New lifeform disovered? (Y'All)

What is this thing? It doesn't float. It's made out of a jelly-like
substance but is solid to the touch. Smells terrible!

Kayakin y'all

Scott kayaking in my garage.

Mining y'all

We went mining at the Hiddenite Emerald mines today. $8 bucks got us a
sifter and a scoop to go play in the creek with. The locals probably
laugh all the way to the bank at us Yankees paying to dig up the dirt
in their backyard.....

Fishin y'all

Took Emmy fishing tonight and she caught her first fish ever. Here's
an action shot of the master fisherman.

Boone, NC

Mom and I took a detour that took us through Boone. This bumper
sticker sums up our trip.

My friend Hasan

Ready for grocery shopping!

We did it!

Chanse and I survived two giant sundaes.

Monkey Girl

Climbing the rock wall at the museum today!

Yeah!

Giant peach or mini helicopter?

Got a new toy today to help with boredom and terrorize the cats. It
flies just like a real heli unlike the other toy helis. Lots of fun.....

Mercenaries 2

New chair and ottoman

New couch!

Nice view?

Not really, I was worried about being on the roof of a high rise in
bad weather.

This is a view of richmond you don't normally see. It's from the
ghetto side of the city.

Emily's Bed

Emily is sleeping in her shark tent tonight!

Playhouse Started!

Today we had a handyman start Em's playhouse. We assembled the frame
and moved it into position. Next up is leveling and then final assembly.

Doctor visit turns out okay.

Apparently I am just fat and lazy, because there is nothing else wrong
with me.

Oh boy

Shannon brought home a dog as a suprise.

Getting some reading done.

What is this?

It's a fuzzy wasp with no wings. About the size of a big wasp too. It
looks dangerous. Have you ever seen anything like it?

Now when your kids eat their crayons, they can wash them down with
crayon juice!

Hospitals are fun!

Yeah for IV's too. I'm vacationing in the Cardiac Unit at Frye
Hospital this week. I'll update the blog after my cathater procedure
today.

Waiting for dinner

Hungry after a day of moving!

Ahhh giant snake

This was on our street tonight. Big 5 Ct long black snake.

Free vacation?

We are going to a resort in Williamsburg today. Have to sit through a
timeshare presentation to get a free 3 day vacation. Sounds like a
scam to me!

The infamous black widow!

From our parking lot at work. Car getting repo'd and flat bed broke
