Work was something....

After finishing a local paving project I remember why I hate/love paving. But it is finished for all intents and purposes. With the asphalt shortage it was a long slow summer spent serving two masters. My construction boss and the new maintenance engineer. But in a year there will be some fancy turn lanes to the new jail in Manti. If you happen to go there and use the turn lanes remember yours truly designed them.

I think Wyoming football is in the toilet. Unfortunately I do not see it climbing out anytime soon. After Joe Glenn is fired this season and I suspect he will, we will get some no name coach in here who will just mire in mediocrity. Then maybe we find some unknown genius who will resurrect the program on his way to somewhere bigger. Man I miss Paul Roach!!!

What the ???!!??

Lately we have been paving some roads down here in South Central Utah.....Yeah and Wow this Sucks....I am amazed at what drives by all day long.

Amazing number of people sleeping or reading as passengers and reading as drivers....
The Number of people who sit very low in their seats and can barely see over the wheel.....
The number of retirees I see driving........
The number of people who slow to a crawl to see what we are doing
The number of people who take pictures of us paving.....it is not that rare....
The lack of clothing some people travel in......
The amount of high dollar motor homes pulling nice rides.......

Well this is part of what I see everyday and will share more later....

Up to Date...Well Almost

In the last month or so I have been to a family reunion in Star Valley, emptied our Storage Shed, filled the basement with junk, started to prepare a nursery, and went bow hunting for Bambi. For those of you that know me know that I am somewhat frugal, or cheap, sop this past weekend on the hunt I shot an arrow and it skipping through the forest. Needless to say I have yet to find it and this is causing me some serious concern. So I think Ranger and I are going back up real soon to look for this lost arrow.
On a different note I watched the first Wyo Cowboy football game of the season last Saturday. Hmmmmmm it is hard to speak nice words at this point. I am deeply concerned on all levels of the team and did a lot of yelling at the TV. Hopefully it gets better. The Bounty Hunter Defense I think is trying to hunt a three and out. At least I hope they are actively searching for it. More to come as the season progresses. And yes Kristi is still "Great With Child" and yes she is meaner than usual.....
I must publicly thank my wife of 10 years now. She has been there through it all and without her I would be in college still and who knows what else. I owe her everything.

Little Girls and Puppy Dog Tails

In honor of my future little girl I will go Pink for a while. I actually like the color pink and will have no major hangups with it in my home. The same cannot be said for Kristi who does some serious "PINK" issues. Right now I would like opinions on what to name the future little demon, and yes little girls can be demons.

Spoiler Alert....

For those who do read my post I will let you in on a SPOILER!!! Yes Kristi is pregnant and she is due on the 21st of December. If any of you have information on the father please contact me he needs to step up. Docs told me years ago it could never be me.

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.
