It is so hard for me to believe that July is hear already it just seems like yesterday it was the start of the year, as you get older the days go by so fast. It seems such a short time ago I was in high school now I have grand kids in school, how did the time fly by so fast? I sometimes wish I was young again then it sets in that I did not have a great childhood and I am happy that I am old and set in my ways so I guess this is it.
3-D
We went to see a 3-D movie tonight and I was amazed at the effects this movie had, some of the items in the movie looked like they were going to hit us it was so real. I had never been to a 3-D movie and I do not know how many I will ever go to again but it was an experience I really enjoyed and was glad that we went to this movie. My grandson could not figure out the glasses and kept taking them off and I am sure he did not get the full effect of the 3-D and maybe we will have to take him to another 3-D movie when he gets a little older.
The heat is on
The last two days have been very hot and humid, it has been so hot that when I get home from work the very first thing I do is strip off and get in the shower. I can not stand myself I am soggy from sweat and that is not a great way to walk in this house, my wife can smell a stinky man for 6 blocks and I do not want that go shower look from her so I walk straight to the shower and wait to give her a hug when I get out of the shower, makes us both feel better that is for sure.
Gasoline prices
The price of regular gasoline here in Nashville has started going back up again and it has doubled in just a couple of months, we had got the price down to $1.25 a gallon and now it is over $2.50 a gallon in spots. I see it going back up to where it was late last year and that will be the end of many small businesses, I know the high gasoline prices last year took the wind out of the sails of our business and it never recovered. I hope to be able to start something else soon to make up the money we lost in our deliverey business and I need to get going very soon.
My luck
Sunday was the first show for this third season of the Ice Road Truckers and we had to work late, and we missed the first show I will have to check and see if it is demand, leave it up to Comcast they will not show it again, they always mess up my life and I wish there was another option for cable TV here, oh well I guess I can watch it Sunday night if they show the last weeks show before the new one like they did last year I will be fine.
UPDATE The Ice Road Truckers comes on tonight at 9 pm thanks you History Channel.
Ice road truckers
The new season of the Ice Road Truckers starts on Sunday, this is a great show that I watch with interest every time it is on TV. It has been a long time since it was on and I am ready to watch the brave souls driving on the ice roads. I do not think that I could do it, I do not consider myself a coward but you have to draw the line somewhere and driving a big rig on ice is where I draw the line.
3 day weekend
Since I took my new job this will be my first 3 day weekend and I am very excited about it. I think I will take a short trip and go to Dale Hollow Lake and camp out and do some fishing. This will be a very welcome break from the daily grind of having 3 jobs and I think I deserve a break from the rat race. I can not wait to get to the lake, it looks like rain so I will not take the motorcycle but I am looking forward to some bike trips this summer too.
Great game
On Sunday we got to see one of the finest Super Bowls ever played. It came down to the very end and both teams had a great chance to win the game. I was very proud of my Arizona Cardinals and lets hope this marks the turn around of this franchise. I would love to see them have a good team every year, in no way do i really think they could make the Super Bowl every year but at least give us a chance to be in the playoffs every year at the very least. Cheers to a great game on Sunday by both teams.
Super Bowl
On Sunday the world gets a good look at one of the biggest surprises to ever make it to the Super Bowl. My favorite team the Arizona/St Louis Cardinals will play the Pittsburgh Steelers in what I think is the biggest surprise to ever make it this far in the football playoffs. The closest I can think of was the New York Jets of Joe Willie Namath who won the big game against the much better Baltimore Colts. Lets hope we get the same result from the Arizona Cardnials this weekend. GO CARDS!
Dogs
My sweet little dogs have lost their minds today, and I am pretty sure it is from being trapped inside. I am getting the same way, if the sun does not shine soon I fear we will lose our minds. Winter has been a very cold one this year, and I am ready for it to end. Spring will be meet with open arms and flowers this year. I guess as I get older the bad things in life last longer and are more brutal every year. I can not wait for spring and winter will be forgotten very soon, at least in my mind it will.
