Backyard

I got the area behind the garage racked, roped off, seeded and fertilized.  Now I just hope that the dogs stay out of the area, leaves don't cover it up and I can keep it moist for the next 2 weeks. 

I also have Ray's tree service coming tomorrow to give me a bid on removing some  trees.

Backyard

Today I worked on clearing branches from the backyard with specaill attention to the area behind the garage wich had tons of small twigs colleted from branches falling on the roof and sliding down.

Monday I hope to break up the ground and plant grass.

The Grants Farm

This morning Amy and I took a bike ride on Grants Trail to Grants Farm. You couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day.

Amy was thrilled to death to feed the baby goats, she even wanted to take one home. Later for lunch I had the bratwurst meal with German potato salad, Amy had a hotdog with fries. The topic of conversation was the unappetizing goat poop Amy had on her shirt from the goats jumping up on her. As anyone who has been to Grants Farm knows they offer two free samples of their beer per person. Because the samples were pretty generous I opted to only try the American Ale. It's not a bad Ale, but I think I would opt for something else next time.

New Season

  • Heroes - Thought it looked cheesy at first, then...   dog-gone-it!  They hooked me again!
  • Chuck - Same-ole same-ole!  But its all the stuff I loved about the first season.
  • Big Bang Theory - Laughed myself silly! Maybe it was the bottle of Budweiser I was emptying or maybe it was just that good, Only time will tell

Cause of my country’s financial crises

As best I can break it down...
  1. A lot of people borrowed more loan than thy could afford.
  2. A lot of companies lent money to their customers that their customers couldn’t afford.
The two questions I want an answered for is, who was making money on this arraignment and why are we as a country such idiots?

Bamboo Bistro

Had lunch Wednesday at the Bamboo Bistro.  A small chines restaurant with a lunchtime buffet.  $10.85 for the buffet, no drink.  Food was above what i would expect for a buffet, waiter kept my water glass full till i accidentally ate a hot pepper, then it seemed like it took forever for him to show up.

A nice thing about the place is that two walls are glass so I got a lot of sunlight, something important when your in a building all day.

But ain't the roses sweet!"

Hodaks

Fried chicken with BBQ sauce at Hodak's is a pleasure that shouldn't be missed. They have other things on the menu but I've never tried any of them.

Is NPR insain?

This morning as i was driving into work i was listing to NPR as they interviewed, the commander of the antiaircraft group that shot John McCain down, the person who claims to have pulled McCain out of the water after he was shot down, and one of the guards at the "Hanoi Hilton" the prison John McCain was held at during the Vietnam war (who by the way enlighten me to the fact that none of the prisoners were abused).

Hmmm.. maybe next week they can interview people from Kenya, home Obama's biological father. Or maybe, just mabe, NPR could stick to interviewing amaricans about our presedental election.
