Chicken chunkin

Saturday, May 30th, 2009

As we were waiting to be seated for breakfast this morning my wife noticed a package toy for a chicken chunker, and why is this funny to us you might ask. My cousin Glen has a real life huge punkin chunker, and if we added some small pumpkins to this chicken chunker we would have the perfect gift for his office, I think I will go back this afternoon and pick up that chicken chunker and find some small pumpkins to add to it and send it to my cousin to put next to all of his pumpkin chunker stuff in his office.

New gear for Eric

Friday, May 29th, 2009

One of my buddies from the old neighborhood has scored a job with the Mt. Juliet Police Department.We met up at the gas station, late last night, and he was telling me about UPS bringing his new Aimpoint comp m3 scope delivery today. They brought it to his house just before 5:00 and his wife called to tell him it arrived and was waiting for him when he got off his shift.

Eric has always wanted to be a cop. He would even come to high school dressed in tactical pants and the blue short sleeved shirts made of polyester that the local cops wear. I’m sure he wore that to all his college classes, too.

Sometimes I would go to the gun range with him after class. There are two good outdoor ranges near the house and one good indoor range. Eric and his dad have a good collection of guns, from antique pistols to shotguns and even some military weapons. Of course, they are all registered and legal, and kept locked up. Only a total idiot would ever try to break into their house and steal any of their guns.

Eric told me about a web site for G G & G, one of the best known sources for all kinds of weaponry gear and accessories, like scopes, slings, night vision and bipods. They have a big warehouse in Arizona and ship all over the world. Pretty much everyone in law enforcement or the military knows about G G & G.’

Was that easy

Went out early this morning and played a round of golf. It was not raining and the birds were singing. I really do not care how bad I played and it was bad with a capitol B, it was one of the very best thigs I have done in a very long time. I played with an old friend of mine and when I say old I mean old. I can not wait until I get a chance to get back out on the course and get a chance to play better than I did today.

Golf fun

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

I have not been able to play as much golf as I would like the last few years but that is going to change starting very soon. I have found the comfort suites lpga promo and we really want to take advantage of this promo and get to see some great golf and get to play some ourselves. I really enjoyed the LPGA when it was here in Nashville and would like to watch it in person.

We signed up for the Comfort Suites Golf Sweepstakes and we can not wait to see if we won the great trip they are offering as the top prize. It has been a very long time since we had a get away just for the two of us to enjoy ourselves and this great gold getaway seems like the perfect trip for us.

I started playing golf on the hard pan of Western Oklahoma with my cousin Dale, we were not very good but we had a lot of fun and golf has always been a great way to relax and have some fun for me. There are a lot of great golf courses here in Nashville and I need to sharpen my game on them and I plan to do that very thing starting this week.

Hang on

In just a few days our contracts with the local newspaper will be over and let me tell you what a relief it has been to come to the end of this nightmare. The newspaper has cut our draw and our ability to make any decent money, it will be a relief to pass this monkey off to someone else. I have already started a part time job a few weeks ago and I will look for more delivery work in the next couple of weeks, I am just going to relax for a while and catch my breath from this 3 year ordeal.
