I hope this past weekend was better for you than it was for me.
The weekend started out on Friday driving down to Minneapolis to spend the weekend with my sister. Friday night we got to go hang out with some of my cousins and their families. It was a good time so far.
Saturday morning brought some nasty diapers (Luke’s, not mine!). When they get really bad they get tied up in an old grocery bag and tossed outside rather than straight into the garbage. This cuases problems when Charlie somehow gets ahold of the bag through the fence and eats the entire diaper. Holy shit - for real…
That happened while I was taking a nap, so I woke up and found out that my sis had taken Chrlie to the vet. This vet wanted to do surgery to remove the diaper which was not a cool option. Eventually a different vet was willing to make the dog vomit the diaper up. There was a risk of it getting stuck and suffocating him. It wasn’t fun to see him go back with the vet and wonder if he’d ever come back. Well they got a bunch of diaper out that way but had no way to be sure they got it all. He’s seemed okay since then but I understand there still is concen if there was some that is still in the intestines somehow.
So that pretty much sucked and took up a bunch of the rest of Saturday. So Sunday we come home and start to get bad stomach ache. That eventually turns into some intense diarrhea, which eventually turned into some even more intense vomiting which was nice because they both like to hang out at the same time. This lasted for about 8 hours on Sunday night and into Monday morning.
Sleep was not something that had or was going to come easy when all the shit stopped at about 4am on Monday morning so I got up and watched Clerks 2 on TV. I finally fell asleep with no intentions of getting up to go to work that day. When I did get up and call into work - I got fired for simply not showing up that morning. I was so mad I busted my Ice-T autographed Cop Killer CD.
Okay, only the stuff leading up to getting fired is true. I didn’t get fired - I did get back to work today. And my Cop Killer CD was never autographed by Ice-T, or anyone for that matter. It was still a crappy weekend.
Well I guess I’m not going to the first Force game with anyone - but maybe by myself. I just might not even go. I signed Luke up for a gymnastics class and it starts that night. I know one of his coaches from futsal and I was told that I’d learn how to do a backflip! All of my new year resulutions might actually happen! That would probably be a first.
The Fargo Force will be soon playing their very first regular season home game at the band new Urban Plains Center in SW Fargo. We have to go check this out.
You only have one chance to say you were at their very first home game - the first hockey game at the UPC. Do you want to miss that?
I don’t think I (or anyone in this video) is going to convince any KP readers to vote if they haven’t made up their minds yet. That one guy is pretty funny though. I don’t remember his name but the guy that plays Halo 2!
The rain yesterday made me put the fenders back on the Jake, then out of a ride last night. This was a really fun ride bombing down muddy gravel roads north of the interstate east of 20th St.
I’m kinda hoping it rains again today to make for another fun ride tonight! Who is with me?
And don’t forget Oktoberfest at Granite City tomorrow!
I’m just curious to hear what you get out of this. Last.fm keeps track of what I listen to. You can get my profile over there –> http://www.last.fm/user/kidpurple if you want.
I’ve been a member for a little over a year and here are some of my stats. First is top artists and then is top tracks.
What is it that you get out of looking at these two images of my music history over the past year?
This past weekend I participated in my 2nd marathon - this time as part of a relay team. We were “Our drinking team has a running problem”!
We showed up at BSC at 6:15 in order to catch a bus down to Pioneer Park. The race stated at 7:30am. I was running the last of 5 legs of the relay - so my run didn’t start until somewhere close to 11am. It was fairly cold out for a September day and the waiting around really sucked.
Our team time was 3:53:27 but they unfortunately didn’t time each individual leg of the relay so I don’t know what my running time was. I ran the last 4.5 miles of the race. I was successful in my goal of not letting anyone pass me!
The relay was fun and we will have to do it again. If my team decides to do a relay in Fargo next year we might have to break up into 2 teams because the Fargo Marathon has 4 person team relay. Assuming everyone from this team wants to have a go in Fargo I may be looking for more runners to make up 2 teams. Keep it in mind….
And just for the hell of here, here is a close up of me coming to the finish line. I look like I was really into it here. This was my last 200 yards sprint for no real reason. I had already passed the only person that was ahead of me. I guess I was intent on getting 10 or 20 seconds cut off our time. Being that it was near 4 hours I don’t know what my rush was….
As you can see this is looks like it is half way done already. I started deleting file and left my computer for quite a while. This is how I found it when I came back. Have you ever had such a big recycle bin?
