Hockey is really my favorite sport and I love going to the games when the Predators are here in town. They are on a west coast swing right now and will play the next six games away from Nashville. When they get back to town I plan to attend a few games in the month of November, I miss the friends we made in our old section and it would be real nice to see them again. We even have made friends with some of the ushers and when we see these people out on the town we have friends we never knew about it is kind of funny.
Halloween
Halloween was a lot of fun at our house we decorated the yard and bought a bunch of candy to give out and we had about 30 kids show up at our house, and they were all little kids which is fine by me. I do not like the big kids that go out and take candy from the little kids this holiday is for the little kids and for the little kid in us adults we get to dress up and decorate the house and make it a fun time for the little kids. My dogs hate this day second only to the 4th of July. The fireworks drive my little dogs crazy every year.
Low prices
Last night while I was watching the news on channel 5 they had a report of gas priced under $2.00 a gallon. In Winchester Tn there is a station selling regular unleaded gasoline for $1.98 a gallon. I almost spit out my beer when I saw that price. It is a two hour trip to Winchester but it would almost be worth a road trip to fill up for that price. Well almost. I think I will wait for the price to fall to that level here, we are at $2.50 or so at most of the stations in Nashville, not a bad price after paying over $4.00 a gallon just a few weeks ago. I hope we get down under $2.00 a gallon here very soon.
Gas prices
For the first time in a long time the price of gasoline has dropped below $3.00 a gallon and today I heard on the news that the price of a barrel of oil was down to $78 a barrel, if so that means the price of gas should go down a lot more than it has already. I can not wait for the price to go back to where it should be, I am tired of paying the high prices that the Arab Oil Hijackers have demanded for a long time. We need to drill for our own oil and tell them to go to hell, if we do not have enough then cut back. We need to do a lot more stuff the old fashioned way no matter who it pisses off.
Big time weekend
This is a huge weekend at our house the Red River Shootout is Saturday, being from Oklahoma this is a huge football game at our house all activity stops and everyone gathers around the TV and watches, we can only hope that we will be watching an Oklahoma victory this year. We have had a rough time beating Texas the last few years and going into this huge game as the #1 team in the country might be a burden that the boys can not hold up to. Let us hope for a big victory for the team from Oklahoma today.
Big TV night
Sunday is the night that I get to watch two TV shows that I really like and I am going to get all my work done and have supper ready so I can put my feet up and watch Big Brother and Ice Road Truckers. These two shows do not come on at the same time and it gives me two hours I enjoy. It almost makes my whole week to have one night I can watch TV and enjoy myself. Now if I had a good third show to watch after Ice Road Truckers would make my whole day!
Thank You
This is a long past due thank you to a very good friend of mine who got me started in this blog, Wendy thanks to you I am having so much fun and learning so much as I read other blogs, thanks to you, so much. I miss your blog and hope you will get back into the swing soon. Thanks again for everything and if I can do any thing to help you know how to get a hold of me.
July 4th
Every year on the 4th of July we have family and friends over for a huge BBQ and fireworks display. I wish I could take credit for the fireworks display but it put on by the water park across the lake but from our deck we have a wonderful view. This year we are having BBQ ribs and corn on the cob with baked potatoes cooked on the grill. Lots of beer and soda to wash it all down and the party is on. Looks like very good weather this year last year we had some rain kinda messed up the BBQ part of the party but this year looks clear and mild. Thank you Mother Nature.
Fishing
We took our 5 year old grandson fishing this weekend and it was a mess, I guess we should of left Buster at home but he likes to go fishing too who would of know that as a dog it was also his job to get in the water and bark at every noise, kinda made it a short day when he busted his leash and escaped. OH WELL David got to catch a couple of small bass and he had fun, I enjoyed being outside on the grass with the family, so it was a good day.
High price of living
The cost of everything has gone through the roof the last few months. The price of gasoline has risen to an unheard of level of $4.00 a gallon. Even the food we have to eat to live has went up 200% in some cases. Just to drive to work everyday costs me $35 round trip, and that is if I do nothing extra, like run a route or check on any part of my 2 districts. It cost me $102 to fill up my truck last week, I about had a heart attack and died right there when the pump rolled over $100. We really need some relief from the high prices that are destroying middle America.
