Good boy days

Monday, January 19th, 2009

My grandson David is in the first grade and he is finding out that school runs a  lot like home, you do what your told, do it as quiet as you can and keep your hands to yourself and you will be fine. He had a transition period where he got into trouble a lot. Now he has figured out some of the rules and how to behave. We have only had one bad boy day since school started back after Christmas and I am so proud of David he is growing up very fast.

Outdoor gear

Monday, January 12th, 2009

Over the years I have bought a lot of outdoor gear from a lot of different sources. This year for Christmas I received almost the perfect gift from my wife, the Wiley X Glasses that I got as one of my great Christmas gifts were the perfect glasses for hunting or any other outdoor sport that I tackle this year. I found out that she found these great glasses at the Brigade QM web site and after checking this web site out I know that I have done my last search for a web site to purchase outdoor gear. I have found the last place I will ever have to look for outdoor gear and Brigade QM is that web site.

At Brigade QM they have everything you could need from hunting clothes to the camping gear you would need to go on your hunting trip. We go to some pretty sever outdoor hunting sites and the gear from Brigade QM is up for the tough trips that we go on each year. I can not wait for it to warm up so we can go camping again this spring, it will be a much more comfortable trip with the new gear we will get from Brigade QM this year.

Upset specials

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

3 of the 4 football games played this weekend the underdogs won. The only favorites to win were the Pittsburgh Steelers all of the others including my team the Tennessee Titans lost. I have one dog left in the hunt my Arizona Cardinals won their game big against the Carolina Panthers yesterday and they will host their second playoff game this year on Sunday against the Eagles. Good thing I did not bet on the games I would of lost my butt. The only one I picked right was the Cardinals game and that was just because they are my team.

Truck wash

Sunday, January 4th, 2009

After the ice storms we have had over the last couple of weeks it is time to wash the salt and dirt off my truck, I hate to wash it in the wintertime because it is so cold but it really needs to be done. I will run it through the automatic car wash to get the salt off and then take the brush to it to get all of the crusted dirt and road grime off. My Tahoe is white so it shows every grain of dirt and seems to attract the road salt when they salt the rods for ice and snow. I know that I will feel better after I give my truck a bath, so I will make sure it gets done this weekend.
