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.

Jokes.....And they are good!!!!

These are dedicated to El Jefe........

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.

When will the Spinning Stop?


Right now I need the world to stop spinning. I need to slow down and take time to stop and smell the stink weed. Actually I just need April to pass by. I am currently studying for the PE (Professional Engineer) exam. It is not all that much fun. But at least I have my hound doggy to keep my occupied in the mean time. Ranger is the bestest dog ever. I know because I said so. He is already way to smart fo rme, which isn't all that hard, plus he is going to be a good bird dog, I think. Until later......

Christmas was pretty good....

I can say that I had a pretty great Christmas overall. Got to see a lot of family, a wedding, a couple of friends, and some great driving conditions. Once again my wife spoiled me this year. But now I have power tools that will require me to build stuff for her and the house. Cool. Mostly it was nice to spend time with my uncle who is battling lung cancer. It would appear that his time is short and it was real good to just sit and spend some time with him. Also I was able to see my Granny and talk to her for a little while as well. So all in all it was a nice weekend. However....if anyone has some sedatives for my wife please send them. She is driving me nuts with her freaking out on slick roads. She has a panic attack if a snowflake touches the roadway. Either she gets drugs or you all get to come and see her here in Richfield until Summer.

I think it is a Kidney Stone!!!!

The pain lately reminds me of the pain I experienced with a kidney stone. But actually it is the pain of sucking it up in fantasy world. First, my two football teams...the Wyoming league was good again where I got hosed to a 4th place finish, not bad considering I had a very crappy team. My UDOT League team was another story. I finished next to last and was not even close to anything all year. My three basketball teams are much like the Wyoming team this year (not the ladies). I am stinking the place up pretty bad. More to come....

It hurts to SUCK this BAD!

My fantasy teams are going to cause me to die. My football team in the UDOT league finished next to last and missed to playoffs. We kind if looked like Wyoming down the stretch. MY WYDOT team is trying to hold its own. We made the playoffs but we look sad doing it. So maybe that will help. My 3 (yes three) basketball teams all have one thing in common, injuries. But they will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes. Actually I am in the middle of all packs.
