Been Awhile

Can't believe the last time I posted was November! Time just goes so fast.

Got my CCW permit the beginning of the month. Haven't gone "Packing" anywere yet. Has always been legal to "open carry" but you got hassled alot. Never did that either. Just nice to know if you want to, you can.

Lori had the plate taken out of her ankle because it bothered her, now she has to stay off that foot for 30 days. She's getting really bored at home!

Weather has been really nice for this time of year. Only 1 day so far below zero & suppose to be 40 tommorrow then upper 30's rest of the week. Only about 5 inches of snow on the ground. I can live with this!!

Going to a friends sons wedding in Ohio in March. Friends of ours from here are going too so we got rooms at the same motel. Leave friday the 9th & drive back the 11th. Close to a 9 hour drive one way. We're taking our own vehicles.

Work has been very busy. I do 10 hour days so not much time to do things like this cause weekends are busy with do lists. All in all, things are good!

Will try to write at least once a month. Watch for news at the end of the month.

Take care............................dan

November News

Just got home from my gun safety class. Now I can apply for my CCW Permit. May not ever use it but if I want to I can.

Lori has been walking on her foot but because the break was so low, the plate is bothering her but the doc said the bone is healed so they can take the plate out. That will be in a couple of months because of his schedule.

Put the bike up last weekend & today it is 61 dregrees!! Oh well, always next year & suppose to get colder from here on.

Really enjoyed having Jody (my daughter), Kaylen (granddaughter) & her dog Sasha stay with us for a week. Jody lives in NM & Kaylan is going to go to school in MPLS. Got her number to let her know when holiday & family events occur so she can come over.

About it for now. See you next month.

Labor Day

Lori still has her cast on, it comes off this friday along with the stitches. She is adapting good but still can't do steps. Gives you a whole different outlook on handicap accessable places! She had her familey reunion last week in northern Minessota. I went up last saturday then came back that monday. Picked her up at her sisters house this weekend. Good time was had by all.

Not much new here. Had a little ceramony yeasterday & put the Vikings flag out. It's only a game but you gotta have fun with it!! Lori is off work for probably another 2 weeks. I still have to slave away!!!

Back to work tommorrow, oh well.

Hey All

As most of you know, we put Malley to sleep last satuday (16th). He hips were really bothering her, she couldn't control her poddying when we wern't home. She was 11 years old & life expentancy for that breed is 10 years so she lived a hapy & spoiled life. Still not used to her not being here but we believe it was better for her as she was in pain & we yhink there may have been more problems that she had. 6 months to a year, maybe a smaller dog.

It has been "HOT" here for almost a week now. Temps in the mid to upper 90's with heat indexes above 100+. Suppose to start getting better this weekend. Hope so!!

Not much else to report. All take care.

Country Fest 2011

Again, great food, friends, music & drink. If Lady Antebellum ever comes to your area, GO!!! " FANTASTIC SHOW "! They get you moving. Did meet & greet with Josh Turner, saw Bucky Covington & Clay Walker. Great time!

Not much else exciting going on. Day here, a day there. Had an offer for the bike that night & turned it down. Great offer but it's our baby & fun togeather.

All enjoy till later.

June

I know, been awhile but just little stuff going on & didn't want to bore you.

Haven't had the bike out much because of weather & only went golfing once. Still got time though as it's abit early in the summer.

Found out today we get Corporate Passes for Contry Fest again this year. Go to Google, type in Contry Fest & click on the Caddot location to see the line-up. Only got General for Rock Fest as we have double the employees now. Something is better than nothing!

Going to Lori's family reunion in northern Minnesota the end of August. I'm just going for the weekend then pick up Lori in the Cities the next saturday. I'm the "OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAHER"!! Should be a good time!

About it for now. Will post pics of Fest.

ANOTHER MONTH

Got teased with warm weather & today it's snowing! Can't win. Got the bike ready for some riding now just waiting for the weather. 2 weeks ago on saturday it was 80 but storms in the area keept me from the first ride. Besides, still alot of sand on the roads. Hurt my back again last weekend so recovering from that. About every 2 years I do something stupid! Went to a concert with friends last friday. Tonic Sol Fa. Great show!! It's all accapela, no insterments & they pick on one person through the whole show. Didn't think I would like it but they really mixed it up & it was fantastic. If you here of them coming, go see them. Everyone doing well here. Go to the Cities the 26th-27th for work training. They got me a room so I don't have to drive back & forth. My boss told me he had phone numbers for call girls! My age, I either couldn't keep up or I'd fall asleep before!!!! That's it for now, more boring stuff next month. dan
