For some odd reason this story comes to mind despite the fact that it happened awhile back. Thought my loyal fans might enjoy a good laugh. Although my disclaimer upfront is that I DID NOT INTEND TO LIGHT MY MOTHER ON FIRE! So don't think I'm some kind of psycho.Back when I had a piece-of-junk truck, I was always having issues with it. Issues that turned more and more serious until finally

The following is a collection of comments from a forum on fox news that asked people to comment on why they think McCain lost… Very interesting to see the insight as well as passion/fear that people have today.(taken from: http://foxforum.blogs.foxnews.com/2008/11/04/youdecide_11042/)Comment by John My first reaction is that McCainl lost because he didn’t really appeal to the conservative base

So last Friday night I went to a swing dancing class and learned some very important lessons about getting too close to the wildlife....especially cougars! The class was small, ~8 people plus instructors. Some couples, mostly singles, but even numbers for guys & girls. What actually made it even was what walked in last minute though....the infamous Cougar. Now I'm from Wyoming and I've done

So I've been battling with this ugly front corner of my yard for a year now trying to move two HUGE & HEAVY rocks...and make something nice out of nothing but a big mess. I've had several rounds of "Me vs The Rock" and while I haven't won all of them, I've won enough to have conquered it! Today I decided to finish the job...This first pic is what the front corner originally looked like. Two big

So I had a midnight sledding night last night. First one of the season. Had a reasonable turnout...about 10 or so. For the most part was a typical fun sledding night as always...except for one new fun addition---injuries! Yes, we had our first injury last night. Right off the bat in fact....first hill we started down. Now this is probably the steepest hill of the entire thing, even steeper than

So tonight I got out and joined my two new friends Szymon & Carolyn at the movies. They've been really supportive since Court left. We saw the movie "Dan in Real Life", which is about a widowed father (played by Steve Carell) with 3 daughters trying to cope with.....well life! It turned out to be such an amazing movie about life, family, and love. On the surface most people would see this movie

Alright, update to my "moving the big rocks in the front of my yard" challenge I blogged about before. Rather than going with my crazy truck-converted-to-a-forklift plan to move the dark rock, I decided a simpler approach might be safer (for my truck at least...still may try it to lift and rotate the other rock). And it wasn't pretty, but it worked! One very large, heavy rock (my guess 400-600lbs

Just a quick blurb tonight, but before I go to bed, I have to share my enthusiasm and new found inspiration! Through an email forward today, I have been inspired by people. Just people in general...and how creative they can be! First off, major kudos goes out to Liv at LivFilms.com for all her creativity. Yes, she's incredibly sexy and normally ends most of her videos in her underwear, but what

I am either a complete engineering genius....or a total idiot! I'm actually not sure which yet. BUT...I think I've figured out a solution to a home improvement dilemma I've had for months---how to move a couple 'several hundred pound' rocks. In the front of my yard I have this flowerbed w/ some rose bushes and 2 rocks in it. I decided at the beginning of the summer that said rocks needed to be

Well, here it is...my first blog! Or should I say, PDJ's first blog baby! Yes, I will randomly be referring to myself in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd person throughout my blogs... Cause that's what PDJ likes to do (but I don't, so it'll just be him that does it). =) Anyways, back to the topic at hand...my first blog! And it's being done on my brand new laptop! In fact, this is the first new laptop I've ever
