Camping Trip

Well, it has been a few days since my last post but I have been busy and not had a chance to get on here. So, I need to update everyone on the camping trip. David and I left early on that Friday and went on down to get our stuff all setup before it got dark on us. I am glad we did do that because we had everything up and ready by dusk ready to light our fire and cook us up some good burgers once the rest of our party got there. My tent we had up within ten minutes, and David's wasn't to bad once we figured out how it went. Once we had all the tents setup we unloaded our stuff out of the back of David's jeep. Talking about full to the gill this jeep was just that. After the unloading of the stuff we sat our chairs up by the campfire and just relaxed until John and Jason arrived. Once they got there and Jason got his tent up we began to cook up some good burgers and hot dogs and just relax by the fire. After this we decided to get some card playing going on and so it was Texas Hold 'em time. Also this was John's time apparently to start what you might call a all nighter. He began to drink some vodka and red bull. Not just to sip around and have a good time he went at it like we were back in the days of our youth and we had no sense of what might happen if one was to drink a whole fifth of vodka in one night. Needless to say we did have a good time until about half of the fifth started taking its effect on poor old John. We did get up from the table a few times to stretch out legs and John would pour another drink and spill part of it on our card table and aggravate Dave. John got a little feisty with us trying to show us his a$$ a few times and I did warn him to quit doing this and he did not heed the warning. So with my fire poker that I was using now has become my brander for ol' John. He pulled his pants down and he met my poker. BAM! He kept complaining that his butt was hurting but he didn't pull his pants down again that night. Love you John!! The card playing pretty much ended. Once we finally got him to go lay down we sat by the fire and relaxed and the sky was sure starry that night. I went to bed about 1 and I will be dad gummed if I didn't have to get up at 4 and use the bathroom so I just stayed up and got the fire going again and then David got up to join me and we just chilled by the fire till the morning sun arose. When John finally did get up he, needless to say, wasn't feeling very well. So that was pretty much our camping trip in a nutshell...So stay tuned till next time....If I don't get back on before Thanksgiving I hope everyone has a very Happy Thanksgiving and may you all be safe on your journeys.....Tommy

Fall Camping

Well, here we are again in the fall time and all the leaves have almost all fallen off. I really enjoy this time of year because of the leaves changing and how beautiful it really is. There are many places around that you can get some amazing views just around right here in our neck of the woods. I took a buddy from work this past weekend to Bee Rock in our very own back yard. Needless to say it was beautiful once we finally got to it. You see it had been years since I had been there myself and I decided that the road was one that would eventually lead us on a journey, needless to say we were neither ready for. What I am trying to say is that I took us the wrong way. Once we got our amazing walk in and got to where we was aiming for it was all worth it, right David? Poor souls we were walking all that way for absolutely nothing was not a very good reward once we reached the summit of where we had climbed and come to the realization that this was absolutely the wrong road. Once again sorry Bro! This weekend some friends and I are going to go camping. Now I have went numerous times in the summer with the family but I must say I have never went at this time of the year. I am very excited about it. We are going to go down in Jackson County and camp near the Roaring River. Just will be nice to get away for a little bit, sit by the campfire,and shoot the breeze. I am ready for a small get a away most definitely. Well, I think this should suffice for now so stay tuned.....

Well Well Well

Here we are again and I know it has been a few days since my last blog but it has been a hectic few days. Well our football season has now come to an unexpected end because of a few idiots that apparently think that they can ruin things for our kids. We were suppose to get to play in a playoff game this coming weekend for 3rd and 4th place and now we are not. At the first of the season we were told that the top 4 teams in each age division, in which there are 4 different ones, would advance to the bowl games. I have been told by a couple different people that they have always done this format so let's just mess with the Monterey teams I guess is the solution. So now all of a sudden they say that everyone is going to get to play and all of our smaller teams had decided that they have had enough and wasn't going to play anymore, so the powers that be in this league decided that since they weren't going then our team should be punished. I am telling you I am mad as a old wet hornet, because our kids have worked their tail off this year and it is all for nothing. I am so glad to be done with this year because the officiating was horrible all year long and now I guess I can just wait on jr. high to get started next year. I do want to say that I am so proud of our little guys for their effort this year and I really think that they are going to turn out to be some fine young men. Well, this is my gripe day I guess so continue to stay tuned to see what's next in my crazy life......
