I figured I should post something

Well your mom has a ticker that says 223 more days till your here, It seems like a damn eternity. I can't believe how cranky your mom is, I know she is goin through changes I think I have been on edge with her lately too. I keep thinking about everything we need to get done around the house. I am going to start peeling wall paper in the nursery and I wanna put down a laminate floor and replace one more door. The fence in the back yard was done today and the fence company doesnt put in straight runs of fence, so Im going to call them tomorrow and let them know its time to come back to straighten the fence at least the two sections that caught my eye. I have also been thinking of getting a second or third shift job to make ends meet. It really sucks being comfortable living a certain way then having to possibly lose a income for a while or get 1/2 of said income back. I dont know. What I do know is Im excited for the baby to come. I am also going to have to admitt as much as I read about fathers that are expecting wondering about their own mortality it has struck me once or twice that April and I are bringing a life into the world that I am going to be responsible for, for the rest of my life or till there 18 lol. Also am I healthy will I live long enough, god I hope nothing happens to me type of thoughts. Or You April. Well thats it for tonight this span'd over two nights so

Timber

Yesterday, Timber and I went to Fidelco for his puppy class. He missed his first play class due to a mutant straind of fleas, but we prevailed buddy all the bombing and bathing was worth it to see you with your litter mates and to do some obedience training. I was so proud of you, you did everything I asked and didnt whine and whimper. I hope you turn into a great guide dog.

Your 2nd Dr Appt

Well I met your mother at the the Dr's office waited a half hour and then we got into a room. I watched the screen to see if I could see your beating before the Dr pointed it out and zoomed in I was for a moment scared I didnt see it. Im a nervous nellie I geuss. The Dr says everything looks good I am so thankfull for that, Im still wondering wether or not your gonna be daddy's little girl or daddy's little boy. I just hope your healthy. And on a totally different subject we saw the girl that went in before us to the Dr she was only 17 and is 3 months pregnant. I was amazed it is scary for me let alone a baby having a baby. Jeez. Well more to come

OUR FIRST DR. APPOINTMENT

Well I told you it may not be Monday that you get to see the post little one. I got out of work early to meet your mom for the appointment, let me tell you how AWKWARD it was being a man on Monday , walking into a obgyn office. Well I met the Dr with your mom, she has been going to him for awhile. I thought he was funny. He is kinda Brash but I liked it. He let us know the risks of losing you our little poppy seed at this time, the odds werent that great I told your mom that is other people not us.We will be fine. The Dr told us in the next week or so your heart will start beating and beating faster then our's do now, and when your heart starts beating our chances of losing you drop to 10 %. That will be great. Your mother has had blood drawn twice this week and is bruised up good. We are waiting to hear if the hGC levels in your mother are doubling like they are supposed to wich I hope they are, and believe me I couldnt explain to you what that is. Let me tell you now I have been trying to spring this on your grandfather and great grandma for christmas it is hard to keep this a secret I want them so badly to know. It will be 13 more days till they know. I have been getting the central air buttoned up for your mother this is just a project that was never finished and needs to before you get here. I also started ripping the doors down in your new room too I want you to have a cool nursery. So Ill let you go know Ill tell you more when I know more.................Dad

our future child

Well today your Mother and I got tell important people to us and hopefully important to you, about your pending arrival. We are both so very excited, I have wanted to be a Daddy for awhile now, your mother has had the itch to be a mommy since we got engaged. But I am very scared and I cant seem to figure out why? There are so many things I am wondering about, I cant even put my finger on it. I am nervous yet excited am I ready to be a Dad, YES. I know your mother is ready she is a natrual with babies. I know your grandmothers are freaking so excited. I hope your mom reliezes that I am excited about this major event, I just dont know what to say or do I am sort of lost. I am going to be a Dad, I will no longer be the son I am taking on a new role in the family. It means things are coming full circle I guess. I hope I can be the father you want the one I never had until I was adopted. I am going to try to keep writing until your born but it may not be frequent so please understand. I will try to keep your Big yellow brother Tucker ready for your arrival he is good with his foster brother Timber so lets hope he is as happy to see you too. I get to go with mom to her first prenatal Dr.s appt. I will write more then to you about it.....

not been felling so well

for like a week now I have been feeling off, you know your body you know when something is not right. I am your typical man i dont go to the Dr.s office till i have to or april makes me. Well the whole not feeling myself started last sunday so on wednesday when my manly parts started to feel pain I called the dr and went as soon as possible. I go and he checks me out and says I think you have a kidney stone take this med every 6 hours and if the symptoms dont go away call me and we will have you come back in oh and he made me pee in a cup. Fast forward to friday when I was feeling dizzy and nausea I called the dr and asked what did you find in my urine sample oh we were going to call you, mind you its almost 3 pm on friday they proceed to tell me that my urine told them my blood sugar was somewhere by 1000 when its supposed to be like 80 to 120 so they think i may be diabetic. And protein levels where high also. So I started thinking about this past week and day I had a cream cheese pastry at the office instantly felt nausea I thought it was cause I was hungry and i didnt have breakfast, So i started to go to my job site for the day and stoped and got 2 arizona ice tea the big sweet yummy ones and drank them by noon and still felt like crap went to lunch couldnt finish half of the green salad I bought. then find out what I already posted earlier about and started just drinking water and started feeling a little better and I have now stayed away from sugar for the night and feel so much better but Istill have to do something about this.

Boy April's meme really caused confusion

So this is to shed more light on me, or my past. My biological mother got pregnant with me when she was 15, gave birth to me like a month and half after she turned 16. I really believe that was a bad idea. You dont get to grow up the way every kid should. I was moved around alot as a kid, I have lived in Texas, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, Florida, I believe that is all but it is hard to keep all the "FACTS" straight. The father I had known till I was like 6 or 7 was in the middle of trying to leave my mother and I wanted to stay with him and then my mother told me he wasnt my real father and that my real father's name is Frank and that is all she knows about him. He doesnt know about me ether..It is intriging to think about. I really dont dwell on it. But while my mother was with my so called father, she had a another two sons and a daughter in that short time frame. Well then I was sent to live with a aunt in Connecticut have you ever had the feeling you werent wanted that is how I felt, Well as soon as my mothers sister found out my mother was in New Hampshire I was packed up with the little bit of shit that I had at a age 7 oor 8 and deposited on my other aunts door step that my mother was staying with. My mother got her ass in line probably by the time I was 9 and I moved in with her at a apartment she got. I then met a guy she was going to marry and that is when I got sent to Florida to live with my mothers oldest sister all because she got arrested and was dealing drugs and the state of vermont was going to take me away from her. So Now Im living in Fla, with my 2 cousins and my aunt who is divorced, she met a guy that she worked with and ended up marrying him. My cousin is a year younger then me and just as big he always had a special learning problem. I think he wasnt wired right he always got into fights with teachers and students and this new husband of my aunts. Well one day I witnessed my new uncle choking my 12 year old cousin and I had to help this cousin. He was like my brother well we ended up kicking said new uncles ass and he told my aunt that it was me or him and I cant blame her for what she choose, but I was sent back to Connecticut to live my uncle and his wife the youndest of my moms siblings I had now lived with all the aunts and uncles I had lol. I ended up finshing Highschool and then got kicked out at 18 and that puts you to my 15 years meme.... Today I was going to tell you all about my asshole side but no you had to ask questions so you got this...

15 years

Like I can even accomplish this I can hardly keep current with normal blogging lol.

The year was 1993 I was junior in high school, I was living with a aunt and uncle that I no longer talk to. I worked with my uncle all school breaks and summers doing construction Im not talking little stuff ether I did the site work on propably 25 taco bells concrete sidewalks, foundations, footings, sewer and water,landscaping. You name I did it with my uncle. I made good money back then he would pay me 75 bucks a day not bad for a 11th grader. I was on the track team at school I was a popular kid who was friends with everyone even quiet geeks like my wife. although she is far from quiet or a geek now. I was the only one from my maternal family to ever graduate high school they are a bunch of losers. I was kicked out of said uncles house at the ripe age of 18 with the clothes on my back. And told i would never amount to anything and that I needed my uncle to be anything. BOY was he wrong. I made it just fine I was adult adopted by my adopted parents and have never looked back. I started a job in 1995 working for my adopted uncle at a lumber yard stacking wood to be kiln dried, then a friends father offered me a job being a helper for a sheetmetal company and I started that trade, I quit working for them and started for their competition and in 6 months started running my own jobs, after three or four years there I was feeling like I was in a dead end job so I saw a local oil company looking for a sheetmetal mechanic and I was hired there and told if i wanted to learn to be a oil burner tech they would pay for the schooling so I went then they sent me to school for a/c and then I quit haha I took that education and ran, actually they were bought out and the new owner was a and is a asshole. I was with them for like 3 or four years. So I went to work for a smaller oil company and a better one and they taught me alot I learned alot and stayed there for 3 years and got my cdl, I being thickheaded and stubborn got into a arguement with the owner over taking calls when I wasnt scheduled so I quit and went back to the first oil company I only lasted a year or so with them and got the best job in the world for me and have been there for a year now. I got married in that time to the woman of my dreams, And we are completely happy together. I think the next 15 years should cover all relationships....Now that would make great reading....

weekend overview

Well as you all know April and I went to Maine this weekend to be with our dear friends and their children, I also got to go to the nascar race on Sunday in New Hampshire. Let me tell you what the greates part of the race is for me it is when the National anthem is sung and the Fly over of our military planes. just so patriotic which I am. I will tell you one more thing that I love well two possibly I get goose bumbs during the GENTLEMAN START YOUR ENGINES. There is nothing like hearing (43) 800+ HORSEPOWER cars leaping to life. And then the sweet smell of sunoco racing fuel. Folks you cant get much more AMERICAN then that let me tell you. And the cheering for the military personell that was there for the colorgaurd breath taking. Well this is my catch up to to today post......

monday is almost over

Well today is almost over and Im happy about it. I am waiting patiently for April to get pregnant, I am so afraid of it yet want it...Make any sense? I doubt it. I am always like damn some months we can barly take care of our selves it seems. I mean I have heard tons of times you are never ready, but jeez I geuss it is just scary to think I will have to take care of a baby and it is not like our dogs who I can lock up in a crate when I had enough. I imagine April will have it worse then me but hey, It seems like everyone we know has a new baby or is pregnant. We are going to Maine this weekend wich is good I love to go up and see our extended family Carsa and Allen and the boys. I am also going with Allen to the NASCAR races in Loudon, NH.
The girls are going to have to stay home and be with the kids. I am hoping it doesnt rain tuesday I hate working in the rain it sucks I am the most miserable person when Im soaking wet. , I am getting herded into bed by April she always complains that I dont go to bed at the same time she does, I like to sleep in the same bed but as soon as I lay down I pass out it sucks. Hahaha I just realised that I have a fear of being miserable old man actually I think it is my new goal. For old age. Well Dan I saw your comment and had this in my draft I started it tonight before dinner and then we watched the MIST on on demand cool movie if you havent seen it Well Im out Im going to bed to keep poop head happy and to get the furry bastard off my pillow

our weekend

So far what a great weekend, we went to a greel festival with our greek friends, no we are not greek but let me tell you we know good food when we are around it. That was Friday night on saturday a dear friend needed some help with her stuck car in a garage so we helped her she is like a sister and her husband and daughter are like a brother and a niece. How unbelivable it is to see her she has grown so much in the 2 years since her birth and a beautiful child she is. Today is father's day and I know we are going to april's fathers grave I would like to plant a few flowers there that will come back every year to let him know how much he is missed and how much I would have liked to meet him. And then we have to see my father hopefully I will post more about that later......

Ok peeps I had a great day at this thing we call work. until I had to drive home from the other end of the state, why do people drive like such assholes? I dont know I have a pic of a animal can you tell me what it is???

wednesday

So to hold true to my promise to post here I go I have a picture from yesterday when i saved a turtle. I am also happy to say that the temps where high but no humidity it was decent today. I have to tell everyone how I have a 55 gallon drum in the back of my work van and I ran out of water I fill it every morning at home and I had 2 more coils to wash so i had to drive around to find a place to fill my tank up, Well I went to this volunteer fire dept and tried to fill said tank till a volunteer fireman pulled up as I was getting ready to loot 55 gallons of water so i continued on until I found the good will and the water facuet behind their building. Oh did I mention that I also love our new fridge. And yes Michele I do love stalking your blog I read it and a few others religiously. I am terrible at times trying to keep up writing this blog but hey. At least I am trying. I am looking forward to this weekend and I want to try to make some german potato salad. I just have to figure out when to try to make it for dinner.

getting back to posting

OK So I have been slacking big time and our friend sara just started a blog and I left a its quite in here comment and Amy shot a volley at me and I could only think of that 70's show when they bust some ones chops was BURN, So I geuss people that live in glass houses shouldnt throw stones. Yes our new fridge is fantastic but I have been super busy with work its 90+ degress here and I had over twenty hours of overtime. And already 5 hours this week and its only tuesday. But I do read all my favorite blogs I need to relax and release the lap top to the queen so i can watch the CRAB SHOW!!!!! TALK TO YOU PEEPS ON WEDNESDAY

waitng on the new fridge

Saturday morning and im waiting for a phone call from the appliance guys as to when they arfe bringing my fucking fridge got up at 6 am just because that is when my internal alarm went off. I need to go remove some things for the arrival of the appliance, like the shock on the screen door the garbage on the sun porch and move the red truck. I really need to change the oil in that sucker this weekend and wash it it is driving me nuts seeing it so dirty. We also need to get plans rolling for our weekend with our dear friends in Maine, How I love those guys just wish we were closer then the 3 or so hours we live apart! But I cant get april to let me move us to maine.. Well Im going to go start my things that need to be done oh yeah I forgott time to start the garden to day so i will be doing that also

At home waiting on appliance repair man

Well I go toff work today at noon to meet the 1 to 5 pm time window the asshole sears company gave me it is now 330 and no sign of the repair man. Geez . I wish they would have called to say nah itll be closer to 4 or 500 pm so i could have stayed in work. I need to mow the lawn and do the dishes but i think they are gonna sit till after he leaves why should I care after all im the one inconvienced by all this not the damn repair guy. Ill post some of my favorite wedding pictures ape has posted so many now I dont know if u you will see doubles......

we got a new fridge

Yup so yesterday we went to the sears outlet and bought a slightly damaged fridge it was only a dent on each side at the bottom of the unit and we were saving close to half the cost. Well we should have just bought a new one, being the know it all man that I am I didnt measure the doors I knew it would fit where it was going to finally rest at. So it took me and a neighbor 2 hrs to get it in the house and to re install all the doors and various other bs we plug it in and it says to wait for 24 hrs to put food in so both fridges are in the tiny kitchen we have and the new one must be broken cause it is still 80* in it and the old one is still running like a tired champ. well now qw call sears and have them send a service guy out. I removed the back panel to see the compressor if it was running and it was s=very hot it should be on one the top not all the way around it so i cant wait to see if the service man tries to bullshit the service man. Maybe I should park my service van at the neighbors so they will have no Idea.

honey moon

Alright Im going to post pictures of our fantastic romantic horse drawn carriage ride that I researched before we left to go to disney and our horse that pulled the carriage was ralph a 9 year old something or another but he was beautiful and majestic to look at. God I hope I can keep impressing April with stuff like this. We are having a blast here and will post more later Dawn was extremely helpfull with her knowledge of the parks before we left So thanks Dawn your the best mouse advisor ever......With out further ado here is the pics

more pics from work

Alright I know horses you have all seen the wild horses Alf post's about in her blog but these were in my way going to a cell site look in my trucks mirror and you can see the tower and the road. Also a wild turkey in the woods I get to see this almost all the time I do love my job!! 4 more days of work then wedding stuff whoo whooo

WEDDING , STAG WELL ALMOST STAG

Well the count down is coming fast! We are excited in some ways relieved in others. This planning has been a roller coaster of a ride, with drama from the videographer who is the biggest douche. But our reception place and photographers have been the best! I cant say much for the DJ cause we got him through a big name site but he seemed funny when we saw him. The Drama with family and were to sit them. They should just make it a video conference wedding so we don't have to worry about hurt feelings. Ah and now the part we have been waiting for 8 more working days and we are off for 8 working days!!! And in disney and at johns house in fla by clearwater beach!!

what I saw today at work outside my van door

I do have a cool job. I get to drive around to remote locations and be outside doing hvac stuff I love dont tell anyone but Im throwing my fishing pole in the truck tomorrow!!!If I have time I will drop a line lol. Well here are some of my new friends and the cell tower that looks like a tree!

So I went to the drs.

I have to admit I hate going to the Dr.s, Not as much as some but still hate it. I dont know if it is the 45 minute wait they have you do in the little room till they come in. I just wanna ask one if they think it is the least bit funny, Also what would they say when You gave them a bill for your 45 minutes I mean your time is valuable right? Well to let every one know it is not a sinus infection it is bronchitis and I will be going to pick up 5 prescriptions in a few minutes. But hey I tried to tough this thing out it is like 3 weeks that I have had this crap.But all is well in Daryl land for now beside the fact my stag party is canceled.....

i dont know what to title this

Well today was busy, the cellular sites are a busy day. They want to know my times for everything. And then I get a call from April, she has bad news someone close to us is sick and she is upset. I want to hold her in my arms and promise her that it will be ok that i can fix this for her, but I cant lord knows if i could id be rich. I just cant stand to see her hurt, it has never been like this with any one I have ever been with before. We went and visited her fathers grave on sunday a spur of the moment thing that we do. I always get misty eyed when I go there with her, I know how much he means to her she has beautiful poems written about him. Her love is a love that is un- explainable the love of a child to a parent probably much like the love of a parent to child. I know she wishes I could have met her father, how I long to met her father. To met the man she says I am so much like. To see or understand the similarities in us. Aprils Parents were married on my birthday a day that I am happy to share with them. I guess because I know you are reading this and like I always say you are the one with the beautiful gift of writing not I, I have a hard enough time I think letting you know I love you and how much you mean to me but in those areas you need not worry I do love you and will always. We can get by this little funk and then we will be at the beach on our honeymoon with you screaming at me pictures are memories when I accidentally erase 3 days worth of them I promise not to do that this year. I look forward to spending the rest of my life with you and could never imagine life again with out you.......Love you honey and this mushy one is for you

monday

So I think my company has smartened up as to the text messages we have been sending each other at work cause now I cant even send pics to my email I had this wicked cool pic off the top of a mountain I was working on. Too bad. And then I got locked in behind a gate and couldnt leave and then the cell site tech smashed my finger in the gate so now I am going to lose my nail on that finger it hurts so bad now its not even funny, I think Im going to have to start drinking some beer to numb the pain then drill a little hole in the nail to relieve the pressure, yup I have done this before I will not be able to sleep with the pain Im a wussy. I told the cell tech he didnt have to get even with me for making him come out and save me by smashing my damn finger he said sorry I wanted to kill him lol. Well 33 more days yay

movie and TGI FUCKING F

Is it just me or did this week totally bow it was slow and drawn out not very good if you ask me. On a brighter note we watched knocked up the other night what a freaking funny movie. I hope by all means points to what I am going to have to deal with when April gets "KNOCKED UP" I just found it amusing in a childish sense. Well peeps we got a busy weekend coming up fixing my fathers gf's boiler this weekend and then on sunday we have to meet with the photographers to discuss pictures we need taken at the weeding. lol I know i missed spelled that but im to lazy to change it and it is kinda funny......peace out biotches

work

Ok I have a guy that today went over what 3 very capable techs did last night on ot I dont know if he was just being a ball buster or he needed a slap in the mouth. But I am very sensitive to someone going over what I labored over or done it is my male ego yes I am admitting it. I am a very smart guy I am by no means a scientist but there are few things I cant figure out and when I come up against one I am usually pretty good about admitting it. Well this prick re did a few things to get the same results he started with as to only in my book check our work he isnt even a supervisor just another tech. Jeez well that is all I am complaining about today. I think on the night before the wedding when april is at the hotel room I am going to have a few of the guys over for drinks hahaha but i gotta finish man town off up stairs. Put more laminate flooring down and some other odds and ends.. Im waiting for april to comeo home now so I think im going to have some chocolate milk before she gets home

blog frequency

Hahaha my blog is living up to its title... I am truly sorry I had a hard time keeping up last week Ill try better this week. I am now thinking twice about photographing the hawks after the girl got attacked at fenway park a week or so ago. But Ahh I do like to see them. I am getting the perfect farmers tan, I am going to be a good looking pasty white boy with a farmers tan in fla. In a month. Truly getting stressed about the weeding now, no cold feet but am like jeez can this day just be over so we can get to normal life again. I had a relative call my grandfather about not being invited to the day and his wife not to the wedding shower so they were over looked, does anyone realise what goes into formulating one of those invite lists? well the sent regrets for the wedding and she didn't go to the shower so I say fine I hope a bunch more people don't rsvp too Jeeez! But I am also very excited to get married to april, I just want it here now. So we can go on vacation and get back to normAL...Ill write more tomorrow I just got home with 5 hours ot so Im a tad tirred

A new Hawk picture

Im pretty lucky to be outside most days, I got to see another Hawk while I was at one of my accounts today on the roof the only thing is the hawk was just as wet as I was. This Hawk is a good thirty miles away from the other one in a totally new place. here is a pic and another pic of a sign that I got april a year ago that is on a wall in our house I thought the ladies of my blog would all smile about good nite

my monday morning

Alright peeps its a nice 3 am in good ole Connecticut and I am awake duh how else would this be getting written??? I am so going to post some picks of our dog tucker for you guys to help me pick one I didn't realize that most of our pics were lost when we had a hard drive problem last year. April's shower was this weekend so thankful of the friends and family we have they are the best, everyone knows who they are!!!! I really cant stand when I am in up in the early morning cause tucker follows me around and is sleeping at my feet as I type this wich I really love he is the best dog in the world in my eyes, but boy does his farts stink he has given me the silent but deadly twice now in 5 minutes and just got up and went back to April in our bed like I am the one whos farting that dog is a smooth character, but smelly.......

ive made ir

I am outa the hospital im so happy now. But here is the thing I am going to post some pictures of our lab Tucker and I would like you guys to vote on wich pictures you like the most so April and I can enter it in s contest. We just need outside opinions on it couase we think our doggie pics are all good so any help will be appreciated . I will post the pics later today as I am getting ready to go to work now and dont have the time.....Thanks

Ah I have done it

Alright dear readers I have realized that we should get another Lab. Maybe after the wedding, We can start to look. The new addition will be a black or chocolate Lab and yes another male. I have had so much fun having Luke in our house it is unreal! how well he has started to listen, how him and tucker play in the yard together for hours while I raked the nuts up in the yard on saturday and never got mean with each other. LAB HEAVEN. They absolutely tired each other out it was funny I have a picture that I like of both of them. Luke is a lover that lacks the attention he deserves. It will somewhat sadden me to return him to his owners on Wednesday when they get home.

oh my god what have I done??????

Okay the lab fest at our tiny house is outa control to say the least two 80lbers, ours is fine its the dogysitting one that seems like he needs every second of our attnetion he seems to pant all the time he wants to play I feel like he gets no attention at home but dear readers tomorrow he is going to get his ass run off in the back yard as part of the lab olympics I am going to be running, I will regain dominance in my house over these mighty labs. Tucker seems to be like dad whats going on luke is more like dude lets play till the sun comes up!he is going to be very interesting did I mention that we are having company over this weekend for easter???? Fun times this weekend dear Readers any one have a black or chocolate lab they wanna add to lab fest 08?

Dog training Advice for lab puppies

In order to be as cool as I am I needed a Dog, not just your run of the mill dog. A yellow Labrador
Retriever. It was April's Valentines day present/ my new puppy. He was great growing up, He did all things Lab. He learned very quickly how to go out potty outside, to shake with both paws, to sit pretty on his haunches. I can get this dog to do anything I want I told April. So she says make him do his business on command so I read up on it and all you had to do the books tell me is when he is dropping a deuce is say the "PHRASE" and praise him to the high heavens. Well Ladies and gentleman My phrase is BOMBS AWAY, and my dear April in all her feminine ways hates it but she found out today that it works till this day. So while im on the subject of all things lab I will entertain you dear readers with the story of the missing favorite JEANS. Not my favorite but Aprils favorite pair of my jeans the ones she looks at my but in all the time! We were looking for these jeans for well over a month and she kept asking me where I left them? I would look at her with the same dumb lab look the dog gives her and say well if I knew where I left them we wouldn't be having this discussion. Well a few days later I or we found them. You see we kept our mighty Lab in a cage till he was a year and half old then he started sleeping out of his cage and only being in it during the day when we werent home and I or we spyed some denim in his cage and I said hey look he wanted his daddy's jeans to sleep on so he pulled them in his cage! Well to my horror he pulled them through his cage and proceeded to shred them into a waist band with hula hay hanging from the waist. So if you want to hear more funny stories of Tucker aka the blonde bomber leave some feedback and I will share the stories of him and his mighty labness

tuesday

Im excited today one of the guys in the wedding party is getting ready to kick my stag party into gear! And I may be getting out of the freaking hospital this week!

about this blog

Alright, April is always getting on my case about blogging more I am offering this I will try to blog everyday but the weekends are my blog free time..lol I will blog on weekends when i feel like it I see some of the wonderful blogs I read sometimes take the weekend off or a few days. Well away from that today I made corned beef and cabbage YUMMY I am so happy Apes liked it too! So today we went to my gparents and hung out there for a bit, my grandmother went hiking out to trail camera with us very cool I love walking her she is very active. Well I had 790 pictures on my camera all of the stupid camouflage I put around it blowing in front of the sensor so lol I have learned what not to do. Just a waste of time for week of it sitting out there. I am also upset the 10 or so night pictures were over exposed due to the leaves hanging in front of the flash. So lets see what it does this week same spot..... So my blogging buddies I will write more tomorrow

pictures of hawk

Ha Melissa I do have the pics of my hawk I stalked it with my cell phone camera hahaha so I had to get with in 10 feet like i said here is a pic or two. this was a great moment I love wild life and this hawk was very patient with me.

humpday

Happy hump day Thursday is shit Sure Happy It's Thursday, Well so far this week every thing seems to be going ok. I am happy but my back is bothering me is the weight like the Dr aka MR Wizard says or is it really my bad back with the chilliness in the air? On Tuesday I was on one of the many roofs of the hospital I am working at and there was a cool Hawk that landed and was kind enough to let me get within 10 or 15 feet of him with out a: gouging my eyes out b: making me look like a total asshole in front of two of my co -workers who would have had the best time laughing at me as I ran around the roof getting pecked and clawed at. but what a beautiful bird very alert eyes that is how close I got. But I am doing good and I am trying to write everyday on here so I don't loose my precious few readers, I have to work overtime on the drop of a dime so I sometimes cant or don't have the energy to blog.but I do read all of my favorites in the mornings or late at night. Do you ever feel like you are connected with the blogs you read? I do they are funny they are sad they are life, they are a un bias ear. I am starting to dig blogging! I am excited my cousins "husband" may be getting a job in my company as a technician like me only he will be assigned to one building. I defintely know I am not capable of that I am going freakin crazy at the hospital. Those nurses and Dr's can be complete aholes demanding crap all the time.Well till tomorrow..

monday

Doesnt everyone love it when they go to the Dr.s for a check up and it takes a hour and a half of waiting in the little room and then the nurse says we forgot about you the dr will be right in. I seriously was getting ready to get dressed and bolt out of the door I mean I was supposed to be at work and the only reason I stayed was I need this damn physical to renew my drivers license god damn commercial license. I had a great weekend with April we hung my trail /game camera this weekend were I hunt it was a nice hike out there. I need to spend more time scouting this summer due to the missed opportunities I had last year. I am seriously having a anxiety attack about having the camera unsecured to a tree that thing is worth 170.00 just hanging on a tree, but as april can attest it is going to not so easy finding it, I think. I mean it is like 30 minutes in the woods and is so neatly blended in to the area. I am still filling in at the hospital and hoping to get out of there soon, I have been there for 4 weeks now and am ready to hang myself. I have been getting shot after shot from there, so far 2 for tb and one booster for something and they have drawn blood for lab tests, I know its not bad but this is all for a account I dont want to stay at! I had a dream tonight I think that is why im up at 1 AM I dreamt some one stole my work truck from the driveway so I am all OCD lookin out the window with my flash light in the driveway. Its a real bitch what a scumbag can do to your psychy with breaking into your vehicle.
I have to have more blood drawn this morning for my dr so he can bitch at me for some more stuff. Ha here is a thing he said yesterday, Does your back bother you? Me: Yeah I did break it 3 years ago so yeah I get chronic back pain, Dr: Well you could stand to lose 20 to 30 lbs Me: looking down at my stomach thinking well thanks captain obvious and you should get your stupid ass in the fucking room with in 15 minutes of me being stuck in this assless gown so I can get to lunch and back to work you prick. Dr: Im going to prescribe a hunger suppressant but it is most likely not covered by your insurance. Me: Um ok , thinking well this stupid fucking pill may not be covered oh just another thing I am really going to be able to afford with milk costing more then a gallon of gasoline and the fucking ass raping you get from prescription drugs I think if this pill inst covered under the insurance Im going to go GNC for a hunger suppressant. Well that is the Monday moaning

best bday ever

Today my 32 b day was good I had a great day! Family and friends wishing me a good day I even skipped out of a training class 45 minutes early. To all the cool gift cards I received it was just a fun day. I offered us to watch a good friends yellow lab for a few days around the 21st so stand by for some funny posts having two yellow ding dongs in the house is going to be very interesting. Well I am going to write more tomorrow night since the overtime was canceled till next week. Oh yeah and with the money I got for my birthday I am buying a scouting camera and will put it out were I hunt So hopefully I will have some pictures of deer for everyone to look at!!!!

its the night before my birthday

Yay! Actually I could care less, it is another day the older you get is how I feel. I am going to be 32 I remember wishing I was 21 now I wish I was 15. Work is hektick I cant believe they got me in two training classes tomorrow and one is till 830pm I wont be home till 9 pm on my freaking birthday! And I have to work more OT on friday night. I am currently stationed at a hospital till they get a replacement and I am already going crazy. I am looking forward to buying a hunting camera to leave on a tree in the woods to scout for bambi or the bastard that stole my gps. Other wise everything is going good. I am definately getting ready to finish our laminate floor up stairs this weekend I need like 3 boxes more of the flooring and the time to put it in. I desperately want our driveway widened it is killing me right now with the mud where I park my work van. Oh I have to also state that two babies were born today at the hospital, wondering how I know they play a lullaby when the babies are born and I heard two of them today so cool!! I also had to work in the nursery on monday and there were like 6 kids in there I of course inspected each little bundle of joy personally as I chatted up the nurses. I was looking at the breast milk freezer whil eI was in there. I should have asked them if they had any flavors!

blog missuse

Ok I have been a bad blogger, I worked a ton of overtime this weekend I left the house @ 7 am on Friday and got home by 1230am very long day. I was then back up at 530am to not come home again till 730pm but the ot is needed. I have vegged out since the over time. I am going to start making Aprils dinner in a minute. I also have to wash the dishes I promised, well I made dinner washed dishes all is well in the house. And garbage is by the road. I am truly looking forward to the time change and SPRING! I will post more tomorrow...

wedding rings

Today we go to pick out my ring! Im excited but im also upset I am not going to be able to wear this ring at work which is not going to let me become used to wearing it meaning I probably will never wear it. I know this probably kills April but I will try. I think it is going to be like my watch that I never wear cause I cant get into wearing it, it feels funny on my wrist and drives me crazy having it on. On a brighter note I will be working Friday all day then into the night all day Saturday and into Sunday morning, of course the daytime Friday work is normal pay but the rest isn't, its time and a half yayayayayayaya!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I'm pumped about it, just going to be super sleepy on Sunday. And I have a little side gig that may occur tomorrow night I have to call my friends father in law and set up the job wich could net me some bucks for 20 minutes of work. I am glad I learned a trade it pays off all the time.....

monday s

Jeez Mondays are so hard, to want to work I have been covering for a tech at a account for a week and half,and it is drive to the same place stare at same 4 walls and then drive home, lol How do you freaking cube farm people do it? Shit I'm ready to put a circle on the wall to bang my head on. But it isn't too bad I have great techs there to work with. Yes our weekend was busy? Well Aprils Saturday was, btw thank you Keri and Michele. I cant thank you both enough with what your doing for us. Keri if you ever need any HVAC stuff let me know I will be glad to help you out anytime! Same for you Michele but I think you already know that. Yea I was one of the reasons April was bummed out on Sunday but I'm not saying anything about it, I'm just admitting guilt. I love you April more then you could ever imagine and life with out you at this point would be like getting slapped by the hand Satan pee's and wipes his ass with. I am sorry with where were at with the situation. I have had a constant headache all weekend and it spilled over into today. I am sick of wearing my glasses. On a brighter note I am currently entertaining the thought of being a male prostitute for extra money. Sorry ladies no sex from me I was just thinking of you paying and me just reading a book to you. I am kidding though. REALLY I will try to write more later cause I think my friend SAM ADAMS is at the back door wanting to come and have a 6 pack conversation with me!!!

my blogs readin glevel

I got this from fleas blog I have no idea how I got such a high rating.

TV Reviews

a qoute from a joke page from aprils magazine

Have you heard the slogan for a new inexpensive tampon? "We may not be number one , but were still up there!" And I got checked out by the waitress at the outback woot woot April was upsett. I wasnt though

why ?????

I am always asking myself why about family issue's. I at times wish I had a deserted island for April and myself with our dogs and cats just so we don't have to hear from family. Why do they always have to call with some "emergency" Why cant they just call to say Hey Whats going on? No it always has to be for something or about something and that is finally getting on my last nerve. You know what these family members are loved dearly that is why I haven't told any of them to piss off yet. You wanna know something else dear blogger friends I have emergency issues to But I dont call any one I fix them myself or with Aprils help had to add that plug because I love her and she is my inner voice now, actually I think she has played with my mind when I am asleep so she can calm me down. But family matters are such a pain in the ass, I mean how many of you have just wanted to say *uck it, bring it on bitches!!! I dont wanna hear anything more.........and if I do Im gonna smack the poop outa ya. I love my family and I love my future mil and family but can we live stress and drama free, I mean April is planning a wedding here HELLO when she is miserable so am I. And my motto has always been "When Daryl has a bad day EVERYONE has a bad day" So lets bring on the bad days!!!!! On a nicer note I am in love with April and this was just merely me blowing my whole pissed off family shit out for the whole internet to see! HOpe you liked it.... Stay tuned tomorrow I will demonstrate why it is not good to pee in the wind if your a MAN.

ok OK ok 7 weird things about me

I was tagged by Melissa to fess up to 7 weird things about me.
Lets see, #1) I cant stand people that cut me off when no one is behind me and go slow in front of me. I really have thought about just smashing my foot down on the Gas pedal and spinning the sob right off the road or to just see how much damage my work van can do lol.
#2) I can almost tell you all types of military aircraft, and some of the formations they fly I always wanted to be in the military when I was younger. I am infatuated with all things military I watch the military channel ALOT ask April.
#3) I get misty eyed and goose bumbs at the singing of the national anthem and when the military
aircraft fly over sporting events or special events. Ever since 9/11 I have a deep appreciation for the men and women in the armed forces and I am always thank full of their service.
#4) I only wash our truck in side to side motions no wax on wax off motions. circles make swirls and they are more noticeable then side to side. It works trust me we always get comments on the red truck.
#5) I will admit to this when I have a cold and cant breath out of my nose I will roll the tissue up and stick it in my nose, gross I know but it relieves the pressure trust me.
#6) that I cant think of any more weird things to write about myself...........

another tgif

Man I am glad this week is over seemed like it was two weeks in one long one? I dont know if that makes any sense, but I just downed 2 Sam Adam's from YE OLDE KEGERATOR on the porch. I do have to work tomorrow but we do need the money. I have no no info surprisingly I am normally full of some useless bullshit I like to pass along. So until tomorrow

Keri tagged me for the first time to list six QUIRKY things about myself. LOL This is gonna be fun
Well #1 Would be how bad I Hate people parking in my spot at the house, I will mother f you so bad under my breath when I go to pull in that I even think about smacking the shit out of the person.
#2 Yes, I eat the food on my plate 1 thing at a time, it never mixes or touches the other items I just sit there and turn my plate. Weird shit I know my balls are always broken about it. I have since tried to eat diffrent things at once but hate it.
#3 Would be that I have to put my hand in the COLD like under my pillow or Aprils while she sleeps or put my feet in the coldest part of the bed winter or summer.
#4 That I can talk to a guy from work while on hands free and bull shit about nothing for 45 minutes driving to the job and that I cant talk to April for 5 minutes with out telling her I gotta go lol, She knows this and has talked about it with other wives at my company Christmas party.
#5 That if April and I are driving anywhere I must drive, I can not stand indecision when trying to change lanes or pass a car, it isn't just her it is anyone. I don't know if it is indecision or hesitation that really is what I can t stand.
#6 I was almost unable to finish but alas April says what about the fact you keep your work truck cleaner in side then you do in the house I guess she doesn't like the fact I get naked every time I walk in the front door I enjoy being in my boxers alot or is it the fact I leave my clothes where they hit the floor??? She didn't complain today I had on heart boxers hahaha

manic mondays

I had to work outside all day today, the temps plummeted here in good old Ct. LIke 32 all day working on a 3 story building's roof Damn Air conditioning and heating!!!! Yes businesses still use cooling in the winter, but it was the blower that we were working on. Any how I got called to see if I would take a late call on my way home to a cellular tower there was 6 inches of snow and it was freezing out still but for 2 hours ot Im in. Im hoping to be inside tomorrow. I have nothing much to say today so im off to bed

wedding invitations

Alright yes I was very involved with the making of the invitations to our wedding, I must admit it felt a little Martha Stewartly but it was cool. April Had to help me with the word perfect and margins I am by no means a pencil pusher or key pusher. But we are excited with the possible out come of our invites and response cards. I think we saved a bundle we got a new printer 150.00 (ours was shot). And the invite paper etc.... was like 30.00 and then the stamps to personalize the whole deal were like 30.00. So for like 210.00 we did our invitations but you could really say like 60.00 cause we needed the printer any way. And april says she can re use the stamps for scrap booking. Well I got to go do something manly to get my mojo back

a good son?

Well today if you read Aprils blog, you know whats going on. But if not I get surprise calls from my father, mostly it seems when he needs something. I think that it is true once your parents hit a certain age time reverts itself and you have to take care of them, Id have no problem with that if he would try to help himself. You see I had a very special bond with my father, I knew he was a recovering alcoholic and was proud he was sober. He has lots of interests that we shared and still do share. We did lots of things together he was the father I always wanted. BTW I am adopted. Hahaha. He taught me really what it was to be a man and to learn from my mistakes. We were really close at one point, that is till he started drinking again and my mother was going to divorce him he changed or the alcohol was changing him into what my mother hated and into what I was soon going to hate. I do love him dearly to this day and would sacrifice anything I have to get the old him back but he is a lost cause I feel more and more every day. I actually contemplate not answering the phone when he calls. But the soft side of me prevails, I have said some hurtfull things trying to get the shock of my anger into him. I feel at times he is trying to kill himself but the truth be known he is going to be one of those assholes that kills who ever he hits when he is drinking and driving and he is going to live......Till I see him and break his neck. I wish he would see that he is throwing away everything I at this point wouldnt be able to trust him with our future baby alone...Sad isnt it I always thought I would have so much fun with him and a grandchild. Ah what ever. I am pleased in one sense to say I am not driving him to NY tomorrow and Yes I did lie I said I didnt have pto Paid time off when I do but man I need that for when I am on my honeymoon..............Srry to rant and have no definite finsh or direction to this it was sorta just poops of the fingers

names

I have been trying to figure out why people name kids or call kids by 2 letters April's Cousin is AJ
named Aaron Jr , I personally dont want my kid having my name so he would have to endure the same countless where is your other brother Daryl. Shit man if I had a nickel for every time I heard that I would be freaking rich. I hate those bastards that made the new hart show back when I was kid. But Seriously Im going to ask this guy at a account why he is called L.A. he is a nice guy I hope I dont offend him Im just wondering though, seemings this could be research to boys names for when I and April have our little boy hahaha. I am still disturbed by the lack of police presence on my street after the break in and my complaint about speeders, is a asshole like me going to have to call channel 3 news to get something done around here. I literally have seen 2 police cars since the break in, that was in the beginning of jan.

ok new post

I took a few days off from blogging to not seem like I am always bitching about things. On friday I got a call from a guy I went to school with whose father passed away unexpectedly. A massive heart attack one day after he got home from vacation . What a bummer . It also kinda scares me. I eat like shit for the most part April has gotten me on track, but I have a weakness for soda and sweets I mean who doesn't? But the only thing I can think of is this is like when I was 20 and lost a friend to drunk driving. You know how you had that invincible feeling when you were younger? I sure did until I had to cope with the loss of a friend. That really opened my eyes back then I still did a lot of stupid shit but hey. Alright maybe it opened my eyes for like 6 months and after the numbness wore off I was back to my antics. But Jeez I was like I want to be around for when my kids are growing up and to be with April. I should start walking more I have so much to live for. So I think I am going to try to be better about drinking water and maybe Ill walk my dogs one at a time of course ( I really HATE WALKING) but I can do all these things. Maybe April and I can get her a mountain bike since I have one that I hardly use. Jeez one thing makes you think so much...

Justice

So I am finally taking April's advice and I emailed our local police dept. about the speeders on our road. I have to watch out bringing the garbage in or out to the road, also when I am shoveling snow. So I emailed and got a response

Daryl,

I forwarded your e-mail to Lt. M. Zakrzewski who runs the traffic Division. We will try to assign one of the traffic units to run radar in the area. I will also ask the post officer to do extra checks of the area. Your problem is a quality of life issue that as a resident of Meriden you have the right to voice your concern. It is also one of the most voiced concerns within the city neighborhoods. One thing that would be a great help is if you could tell me what the peek time is for violations. We can assign officers accordingly.

If I can be any further assistance please don't be afraid to ask.

So I hope that slows these jerks down I cant tell you how many times you look one way then the other and start to back out and then another car goes flying by that you almost hit. So I responded and even said they could park in our driveway. haha well thats it for that otherwise great day at work I felt like I actually worked my ass of today. I am excited to go and order my keg for my Kegerator that's rightt ladies I am every husband's envy for owning this baby it is great I love my kegerator with all my heart. Nothing like a hot summer day and coming home to Sam Adams @ 32* on tap Ill post pics cause april has to deal with me putting it all over the place it is on wheels lol..............

the guy on the crotch rocket got me thinking

So as I sit here trying to clean our computer/dog bedroom I hear the call of the wild....A crotch rocket, one of my true loves. The feeling I used to get on one of those is indescribable but boy could it take the worst day and turn it into a good one a 5 minute ride could wipe the frown off my face. But I did have a terrible accident on my crotch rocket, I hit a deer on it at about 75 mph. I had just passed a car with a car coming down the road at me I had no where to go, the last thing I saw was the deer jumping in front of me and the next thing I know I was flung to the ground getting pushed by the bike for a 150 feet up the road. It was like being in the dryer I suppose just barrel rolling . Finally it stopped and I jumped up to my feet thinking lets get back on the bike and get out of here. But wait I have no shoes on oh there they are in the middle of the highway I walk over to get them and then I reach down to pick them up and I realize I have a broken wrist, the parts from my blessed bike all over the highway looking like a yard sale. I go and call my father I just left him 30 minutes ago from fathers day dinner and tell him dad Im ok but I hit a deer on the bike Im going to this hospitial, the one he works at. And I hang up he never wanted me to have this bike anyways but I always promised I would wear a helmet wich I did. I am sitting there and then I feel a agonizing pain in my back and lay down the only way it doesnt hurt. The people I had seen before hitting the deer in the cars coming at me stopped to help, they said the paramedics would be there fast. Fast forward to laying in the hospital and not saying anything about the pain in my left leg the 5 cat scans in 1 day, the moment the orthopedic dr walks in and says you have three fractured bones in your lower back and a sprained ankle. plus the broken wrist you already know about. And then my family and friends started to see me, I think it hurt worse when my grandfather came in to see me I knew how he felt, I saw him after his heart attack and it killed me. So I know this hurt him. He did ride motorcycles so we understood the dangers. Well it is almost 3 years since then I am fine now excpet the back pain I suffer when the weather changes or I move wrong. But this kid with no helmet, only shorts and no gloves is riding around on sandy side roads on jan 27 has got no idea the pain that can come from a fall on a bike so I want to make this the longest post in history by adding this story I found about motorcycles>>>>>>> No Need For Gear

Riding without boots and crashing might cost you some road rash or foot mash or even in an extreme case might lead to amputation. You might never walk without a limp. You might battle a weight and fitness problem for the rest of your
life. You might never walk with pain. But it probably wouldn't kill you.

Riding without gloves and crashing might cost you some road rash or a Munched hand or the severe, excruciating pain of mangling a body part rich with nerve endings. Or you could lose a finger or two. It could cost you the ability to play ball with your son, to properly feel the gentle curve of a woman’s breast, or to hold a beer. But it probably wouldn't kill you.

Riding without at least an armored jacket and leather trousers or full leathers or an Aerostich or even just a leather jacket and jeans and crashing might cost you serious road rash. You might grind off a nipple. You might embed gravel in your elbow. You might get beef jerky all over your back. You might grind off your kneecap or have a scar resembling Australia on you calf like a friend of mine does. You would be scarred for life and not be able to walk on a beach shirtless without feeling self conscious. You might end up like Kevin Spacey's character in "Pay It Forward" and have to deal with the same awkward moment every time you remove your clothes with a new lover. But it probably won't kill you.

Riding without a back protector and crashing in all but rare crashes would be inconsequential. However, there are so many variables out there- curbs, fenders, poles, guardrails, and debris in the road- any one of these could be the golden BB that nicks your spinal cord in just the wrong way and leaves you in a wheelchair for life. Or, maybe you just have constant sciatic pain in one leg. Or you can't move your legs. Or you have to wear diapers for when you shit yourself, and/or a colostomy bag you have to pull out of your pants leg and squeeze your waste out into the toilet at a bar like a guy I know. Or you can't move from the chest down. Or from the neck down. Are you good at working joysticks with your mouth? Or maybe you might need a respirator? Or 24 hour care? Certainly, there are impacts that are completely foreseeable that would permanently injure you even with the best back protector in the world. But there are crashes and subsequent impacts that even mediocre back protectors can make that little bit of difference in- the ones you get up and walk away from, sore all over, but *walking*. Do you want the last time you walked to be when you walked out of 7-11 with a pack of smokes and then got on your bike? Those precious few steps out the door and over to the bike to be the five steps you remember the rest of your life because the next time you were off the bike you were lying strapped to a backboard staring at the head liner of an ambulance, tears running down your face because you couldn't feel your little piggies and you were almost ready to vomit at the stench of your shit because you lost control of your bowels? Riding without a back protector and crashing might not make a difference, or it might make all the difference in the world. It might not kill you, but it might make you wish it had.
And, finally, helmets. Riding without a helmet and crashing might be of no consequence. You might never even touch terra firma with your head. Or you might give yourself an asphalt facelift. You might get a concussion that results in only a bad headache the next day. You might get a serious concussion that lands you in the hospital for endless CAT scans and MRIs, and for the rest of your days be plagued by migraines. You might fracture your orbital and lose your vision. You might fracture your skull and end up
fully functional but with a horrible Frankenstein like scar and a metal plate that bothers you on cold days and sets of metal detectors in airports. You might have a closed head injury from which you don't awaken from for hours or days or weeks or months- all the while your mother, father, sister, brother, children, workmates, and/or riding buddies come a visit you, filling an utterly depressing hospital room into a gauche jungle of flowers and bright card saying "get well soon!" that you never see or smell. Sure, you might awaken completely normal besides the hole drilled in your head to reduce pressure. Or you might awaken a little fuzzy, unsure who these people are. Or you might awaken and have to re-learn everything it took you all your life to learn, eventually returning to normal or even better like Harrison Ford in "Regarding Henry". Or you might awaken a man-child, drooling and laughing as you try to stack blocks, wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt signed by your mother, father, sister, brother, children, workmates, and/or riding buddies- which you will never read. Or you might have an open head injury, from which the "you" you know will most likely never return. The rest of your life -be it a day, a week, a month, a year- will consist of feeding tubes, the endless beep and whoosh of the heart monitor and respirator, and the drip-drip or IV fluids, catheters in your rod, and feeding tubes. Of course, you won't mind all of this; you'll be in a dream land no one knows about. Your body will waste away and
atrophy. Eventually, the shell that used to be you would give out, and your loved ones would have to make the most grueling decision of their life. Or, you might die on the road, fluffy gray brain matter mixing with blood and cerebro-spinal fluid. Perhaps your last ride would be twenty miles an hour down the street by your house combined with an impatient young driver and an
ignored stop sign. Or perhaps it would be a ride on the freeway and a pothole denting your rim and popping the front tire off the bead sending you into the guardrail. Or you might go out in a blaze of glory with a 100 mph wheelie ending the wrong way. Whichever way, would make maybe a 10 second news story depending on where you live, maybe a paragraph buried on page 32B of the paper. Riding without a helmet could be of no matter- or it could mean the difference between going on as you are now, or having life taken away from you as if God flipped a switch.

I can live without toes or a mangled foot- but I choose to try and prevent that. I can live with a hand that looks like a burn victim's and maybe relearn to write with my left hand- but I choose to try and prevent that. I can live with a scar in the shape of Australia on my calf- but I try and prevent that. I can live with road rash on my torso and arms- but I try to prevent that. I could live in a wheelchair, agonizing through every day, but I choose to try and prevent that.

I can't live as a man-child. I've already played with blocks. I only drool when I sleep.

We all make choices. Gear can't always save you. All the best leather, denim, Corduroy, Kevlar, fiberglass, and plastic are useless when fate throws the Immovable Object or the Irresistible Force in your path. But I choose to stack the deck in my favor. If it all ends up for naught and the stacked deck and the cards up my sleeve end up losing to Fate's royal flush, so be it. But I'll try.

boring saturday

So today April and I get up, her bf is coming over at ten I get dressed at aprils begging for me to go to starbucks, all i want to do is stay in bed or at least on the couch. Mini Jugs is aprils bf also a april confusing shit I know.

I am totally not feeling like anything today, I am totally just like screw everything I feel like Im cranky and just not my self today. I was telling april I want to have kids, again today. I know she wants kids I have been dealing with her baby fever lol for a year now. I see pictures of friends with kids or read blogs about people that have kids or are pregnant at the time and hope we can expreince this. I am worried about so much though with the thought of how expensive it is for anything in this state or anywhere, I am just stressed out about everything lately and think I need a vacation. Wow I really need to get off my ass but it is 8 pm now why bother . I hope tomorrow will be more productive lol.

I have been tagged ya!

I am glad April was fired up about it, I was like jeez I never said shit. But hey I like being that "Guy". Today a guy I was working with was hit on in the psych ward of the hospital that we work in, she said in a deep voice your cute to him lol. Yea and your in the psych ward lol. I know Im a horrible person for thinking that but boy you should see or be in my head on some of the sh** I think about lol. I am a avid bubba the love sponge listener now that I have Sirius he used to be on the air up here but got axed by the useless station that used to have them on. April thinks she has good recipes I should put up my slow cooker cordone blu recipe that won her over. I am the cook of this crate dont let her fool you lol she is my baker though and she makes such yummy deserts. I am bummed that the over time I was going to have this weekend was canceled again yuk

donut

You Are a Boston Creme Donut

You have a tough exterior. No one wants to mess with you. But on the inside, you're a total pushover and completely soft. You're a traditionalist, and you don't change easily. You're likely to eat the same doughnut every morning, and pout if it's sold out.

What Donut Are You?

work honeymoon???

So today I worked at a hospital and had a elderly man in the room where I was working he was a bit chatty so I being a blabber mouth fit right in with him. Boy did he bust my nuts in there. I was trying to undo a union on the steam radiator in his room and he goes excuse me with all the hot nurses walking around in here please don't fix my heat!! I was dying I was like I know but I gotta fix it so he starts watching me and I am struggling a little to break the connection and I hear him Christ with as big as you are you should be able to break that joint, I started laughing and was like yea break it is whats going to happen. He then proceeds to try to guess my weight and when I tell him how much I weigh he goes damn your parents must have went broke trying to feed you!!!! I was dying laughing and then said You know if your nice Ill call room service so they can bring you your lunch. The old man was laughing and he goes it sure is nice to have a visit from a young man as nice as you. I said well if your here tomorrow Ill run up and visit, he says nope Im going home tomorrow so I said thanks for being nice to me and left I was working during the whole conversation . What a nice guy that guy was. Well onto the honeymoon extravaganza I am starting to look at flights to Florida and some cruises but we will see last may we payed like 550 for us both to fly this year just looking once looks like 650 but I saw some all inclusive Cancun trips for 1000 plus airfare. I think i might go to a travel agent and see what I can get for prices. I don't know if you have to pay for them to consult you or not what is free nowadays, christ some one is paying for this conversation and maybe for some of you to read this lol.

It's 4 am do you know where your mouse is at???

So I am now blogging about my way early pee break hahaha, I got up to pee and as I'm standing there I look around after all I have the aim and abilities to hear so I know when things have gone askew. We have a little stand in our little bathroom april keeps stuff in So I am looking at my Modern Refrigeration book in front of the door and I see this little head poking out with beady black eye's I was like what is a cat toy doing in here under that so I went to move my foot at it and it retreated under the stand! I was like sh** a live mouse in my house. I was right I wanted to go tell April that those Cats of hers, that I despise are really no good loafers and arent worth the cat food that we feed them, yet it was 3:45am and I was smarter then that. So being the great hunter I am I trapped the mouse with the afore mentioned Modern Refrigeration book thinking if he wants out he is going to have to chew through 700 pages that took me a year to read. So I climb back into bed and kick the 80lbs yellow lab off my side of the bed that he thinks is his once I get up.
And then april gets up Im like crap she is going to move the book she always picks up after me I know she is so I say honey dont move the book there is a mouse being trapped by it. She was like your kidding me. I was like nope so she gets back in bed and we have the cat conversation and she say's that one of them must have known that the mouse was in the house. So as I lay there next to her I cant stop thinking about that damn mouse, what if he gets away, how many are there?am i sure he came in through the sump pump hole? etc.... So I tell April I am not going to be able to sleep and get up said lab jumps back into his (my) side of bed and curls up to mom, amd I go get my gloves! I open the bathroom door and peek in to see if he escaped the book, no mouse so I go in I have a towel, my boxer's and my work gloves so I get the lysol and figure I will disorientate him and then scoop him up and out the door he will go right! WRONG!! That little mouse took to the gas job like it was his job I moved the stand and he bolted right away from my hand with the towel over by the toilet now I'm chasing this mouse around a tiny bathroom and he is winning so I regret to say that I am a sore loser and I picked up the seven hundred page book and flushed the mouse out and dropped the book on him. I win! So I can hear April giggling in the bedroom she was still awake and heard everything, so i walked out of the bathroom singing who you gonna call mouse busters lol . Well Im going to play scar face now on ps2

my observations for today

OK So I am very infested with this cold grrr... I am not one who gets sick so I hate colds. It is now giving me headaches from being so congested and I am afraid to blow my nose anymore for fear of it breaking. So today I went with 2 other guys from my office to NYC for a trade show that was awesome, good guys, great show, lots of laughs. I am a people watcher like no one else, and in that city you get them all from the bum on the corner swearing worse then I do " never thought that some one could" to the newborn baby on the train ride home, I have been realizing how a innocent little newborn can make any normal person smile!!!!! I mean they are pretty stinking cute. I am patiently waiting to get my own child I am sick of everyone else having kids and us not. But were not trying and A's probably got a good goal y. A also stats to me that i need to post more but I cant I can hardly do this, hahaha it is fun though and seems like I get lots of stuff off my chest. She already recanted my near fist fight at 1 am in her blog, let me tell you that guy has no idea how lucky he was 3 or 4 years ago I might not have thought about staying in the truck but alas SHE kept me there. Age does not always bring wisdom. I think if A wasn't there I would have knocked him out. I had another run in with road ragewhen I was IN MY VERY EARLY 20'S and was informed by one of the 3 cops that showed up that I am a big guuy and quite possibly would have hurt the guy he said you never know who has a gun.....Ah try to remember that in the heat of the moment. But luckilyA was there to be my conciseness well I gotta go blow my nose Im outta here

superbowl here we come

Yea the pats are going back to the big dance. 4 bowls in 7 years is this like what it felt like to be a Dallas fan in the 90's? Dynasty? Hmm what ever I have been a fan since they sucked, my father is a Giants fan, Aprils dad was a Giants Fan, I want Green Bay to play the pats on 2/3/08 . A little payback for what happened to Drew Bledsoe . Boy what a game this is gonna be.

WEEKEND

Ahhh Saturday I was supposed to work today so I leave the house at 7:15 get to the job at 8:00 meet with co worker discuss what needs to be done today, and then notice that the company we are at has not shut down production. Big problem since said company makes bread and we are to be drilling and other debris producing activities so Wasted morning. But oh no I am going to put April to work today so we can carpet the sun porch and clean the the thing off. She will post pictures on her blog I am sure. I am also fighting off a cold, it is starting to gain ground on me but I will prevail. Normally it is April that brings the germ home I hardly ever get colds or get sick, but no I am the carrier monkey this time. So busy day ahead stay posted...........

Churches

I am not overly Holy I suppose, but my rant is going to ask what happens to all the money that gets collected when the plate goes around? I understand the basic costs of having a building ie; Lights, heat, up keep. But I was given a service call on Friday to go a church in my work area I wont mention any names but I found some problems with the steam boiler and said I would have come to back this week to give it a yearly maintenance. So fast forward to today I am there with the new apprentice and we began cleaning the boiler, we get it all brushed and vacuumed out and I being a some what nice guy fired the boiler back up so the said church would have heat while we were at lunch. Still had to service the oil burner after lunch. So the boiler starts mind you this thing is bigger then my service van and I see the front section move a little, there are like 25 sections all held together by long nuts and bolts well 3 out of the four nuts are missing. Not good at all so I find a nut and put on said boiler and inform the man that is old enough to be my grandfather that the condition of this thing is bad and a delayed ignition could cause a problem. He says to me its been like that for years and sees nothing to be alarmed about. So I brush him off and continue then I start said piece of crap again and the asbestos insulation I see move like a coat catching wind cause all the gasket material is bad in between the sections so I had to get my supervisor in to look at it he agrees time to replace but the guy thinks I'm just wasting the churches money. I was like yea you'd probably save a fortune in oil bills if you got rid of the 100 year old P.O.S. Jeez not everyone is trying to rip people off. Sorry folks but that is rant for the day but other wise all is good I love April more and more everyday she can make me crazy but God do I know I drive her nuts hahahahaha. Well Happy Hump day

A GOOD DAY again at work

Well I am happy for a number of reasons today, 1 st is the fact I was working with the first guy I worked with at the new job, he is funny and just someone cool to be around all day. We had to put a new wall a/c unit in today and it went well, then I went off to do some maintenance on one of his accounts when my supervisor called me and asked if he could take me to lunch I was like damn it I just bought Wendy's So I was like thanks but I already have something. He then proceeded to pull in next to me at the job and we were bs ing about the break in of my van etc... So then he says to me that the vp still doesn't want to cover my gps grrrr.. But he and my service manager think it should so with that he pulled out a brand new gps and says I hope this one will be similar to your old one. He said that he wants me to be happy and not bitter about the company. And that not to tell my co workers because after this they are going to make a announcement that they are not going to replace anyones things stolen from the cab of the vans, we have dividers to separate the stock/equipment from us, anything back there will be replaced. Weird but hey. So now my new thing is carrying a backpack to put all my things into that i wouldn't want some scum bag stealing. So from now on I will have said backpack. I like the new gps its nice works good runs on batteries and can be plugged in so I can now walk with it when April and I go to Boston or NYC the old one was stuck to the car cause it had no battery. I just hope my supervisor didn't pay for it out of pocket between him and the service manager. I work for a huge company and would be disappointed if he did that and didn't get reimbursed. Well Thats why I'm Happy today

My first blog post

Well I have to tell you people....If you think you are going to see good grammar and punctuation in this Blog you are sadly mistaken. I don't like to take that much time so I will be known from now on as the run on sentence king. No Applause please. I enjoy secretly hijacking my fiances posts in her blog to see if she has said anything I should know about. Haha I really only read it to see the wonderful things she says about me Im a little self centered I geuss. I will also be honest about our wedding I hate the whole planning stage and Im glad she has the wheel for that. I dont even like her asking me questions about it. Maybe it has something to do with the always asked how is the wedding planning coming!!!!It's f@**#$! spectacular. Now I am a little crude and maybe rude but that is me. I care for friends and family like no other I will help them all, but please dont take advantage of it. Well if you read April's Blog you will also know that my work truck got broken into on friday, the window smashed out it was great. NOT. I seriously am ready to shoot the next person who has no reason for being on my property. I am getting up in the middle of the night looking out of the window to see if I see any other pieces of s*&$ out in my yard trying to rip me off. Well I will have more to say later Im sure, but for now I am done
