Prairie Dogs and Willow Trees

It has been brought to my attention by a respected member of the medical community that eating Kronskis soaked in Jack Daniels will lead to demonic prairie dog sightings. Well to be honest I will not waste my good Jack on Kronskis, that is what cheap beer is for. And the cheap beer leads to a much better prairie dog sighting. And yes I have killed prairie dogs bigger than a certain medical expert's bear. On a side note how hard is it to plant trees if you have the instructions. On a particular state job I am looking after our sub-contractor has failed to plant the trees correctly on two separate occasions. It has made for some humorous interactions between the prime contractor and myself. I guess planting trees is like judging the size of a bear, a lost art. And I will reiterate that I am lashing out at the bear due to jealously problem that I am experiencing. I just need to go and hunt in Alaska, that is all there is to it but since finances will be changing severely in the near future it will take me longer to get there than previously planned.

Delta and El Jefe

I have been traveling back and forth to Delta a few times these past few days. Our contractor is trying to get a few things done so we can complete the final inspection and they can receive final payment. However their subcontractors are a bit slow and do not feel the need for urgency. So I have made a couple of fruitless trips over there to watch no work being done. It would be nice if I had a Kronski to come home too but El Jefe, my buddy, my freind, decided to stiff me on two packs of those delightful dogs.

New Face, New Place, Not So New After All

I have rotated out to the construction office for the time being. I have decided that this is going to be a real good test for my new and improved mental approach to work. Construction brings all sorts of changes and challenges. This crew has a very interesting dynamic that is going to test my patience and my ability to get along with others. Anyways, this is going to be an interesting summer. I will have some good pics and stories about the comings and goings. Oh and by the way..I am now CPR and First-Aid Certified again. So although I have the training to save you, I may not have the desire.

Updates

Well I have taken the Professional Engineers test and I think (I think) I passed. Maybe, just maybe by the skin of my teeth. That is a lot of pressure off my shoulders. I was in three (3) fantasy basketball leagues this year. I took a FIRST and a THIRD and a what the ???? was that team doing. So that was nice. Now I am trying fantasy Baseball and so far not so good. It is a bit more trial and error and who is hot and who isn't so it is time intensive I think. I also went golfing in Mesquite at the Casablanca Golf Club. It was quite nice, a bit too nice for a hillbilly golfer like myself but well worth it. I did not play as well as I would have liked too, it being my first time out this season, but there were signs of a decent golfer there somewhere. Will update with other weird wild things at a a later date.

Thanks to Larry G for these gems.

What the.....

I have endured what may be one of the toughest things of my life. The 2007-2008 Wyoming men's basketball team. Holy Crap!!!! This was agonizing to sit through. Luckily at this point the only thing I have to cheer about is a season sweep of both Utah and CSU. Usually a sweep of CSU brings joy to my life but at this point it is a shallow victory. This team had way too much going for it. I will again say that Heath Shroyer was not my first choice as coach, or even second choice as far as that goes. I will go on record saying that I sent an email to the AD asking him to consider Quinn Snyder of Missouri fame. However, we are stuck with a friend of the AD (FOAD). Evidently if you are a FOAD you can get a job at WYO. Yeah us. Anywho...I am seriously expecting a huge step forward next year. The honeymoon is over and now it is time to get to winning games.
