14 August 2008









Okay, you damn impatient mofos!! The above pictures are from a few weeks ago when the wifey and I went to LBI. We did the 'old people' weekend, meaning we drank at my friend's house, instead of braving the clubs with all the meat out there. I played Jenga for the first time...yes sad, very sad. It was quite fun, especially since a few blocks in there had 'drinking suggestions' on them. It was a great weekend though-the best weather.


The following weekend was our anniversary, and we went out for a nice dinner. I got the wifey a pair of diamond earrings, which although expensive, have paid for themselves in demeanor. The same week, we saw Coldplay in concert. I highly recommend them, if you don't mind the comments from The 40Yr. Old Virgin...You know why I know you're gay?? Because you listen to Colplay. Oh well.

House updates are as follows: I finally painted the trim around the garage, and it looks amazing. I will get a full picture this week to post up here. We purchased a dining room set (damn I'm broke now), and a firepit for the back pavers. We will be doing fires quite frequently soon...my neighbor gets free wood from work, and I plan on taking full advantage. I have to recoat the driveway, and level my air conditioner, and then it's on to painting the inside...yeah.

Work...well work is the same every day. Sorry to disappoint...I'll keep my eyes open for 'dirtbags'. There is a funny "Super Trooper-ish" activity that I do daily. If a Trooper is on a stop at my Station, I'll drive by and get on the "PA", and give out a "KAKAA, KAKAA". For those persons not at the wedding, that are out of the loop, ask my brother. I will give a hint...it originates from a porno double piston movement. When you are informed, you'll get the humor of yelling this through a "PA" while driving past a Trooper on a motor vehicle stop.

Last update from Patrick....he decided, at no fault of his own, to kindly call me from overseas this morning. I unfortunately had worked midnights, and went to bed at 8am (he called at 10am here time). Not only was I out of it, but I was waiting for my dining room furniture, and the company was supposed to call me. I was so out of it that I answered and thought it was them. Patrick, on the other line, began yelling for me to get up, and I thought it was the movers being extremely rude. I guess you had to be there, but it gave us a good laugh. 80-something days to go...outstanding news!! Be safe over there, and quit lifting...I can't keep up with all this heat over here. As per MK, I'm shrinking to a 'skinny' state.
Enjoy the "Brownie Challenge" Picture, and Bodhi's favorite sleeping position, upside-down.

Well, I hope this fills you're need for now...another to come shortly probably from the Outter Banks, NC...jealous? Good Nite to you all, and THANK YOU for calling big brother. You can wake me up anytime to talk!!

LCDR Pat said...

hellllloooooooo littlefinn???

Come on, I need my fix of law enforcement stories....
How is the doggie?

Patriot1776 said...

Seriously, are you that handy? How about one weekend you come up to PA, I pay you for expertise, include good food and beer...and put in a 16x18 patio??? I am impressed.

I also want to know about the KAKAA KAKAA story...sorry I missed that one.

LCDR Pat said...

Don't think one blog gets you off the hook. How about a Tina interlude?

Bill...
The patio is doable, but I'd have to read up on pavers. If you are serious, I'd help out no sweat, but we'd have to get cracking soon late Sept. before the warm weather goes bye bye. It has to be in before the first freeze (deep). Patios are seemingly easier than retaining walls, since you just get a large 2x4 to level out your patio area after your rock, rock powder, and sand. Call the celly for a date/time, and for KAKAAA story-time.

Hey, I took a paver book from a paver dealer, so I have all those details if ya want them... but you have to come up and paint my doors to get it ;)

Thanks for the post, little Bro. Wish I had been there to hear Pat razing you about getting up... that had to be classic.

Patriot1776 said...

Maybe we just get together for brews, and the kakaa story....that sounds like a better plan.

I am pretty good at painting...I just spent all weekend painting our new room. I don't know if Marie thinks I am that good though...

:-)

LCDR Pat said...

Hey Trooper,
Get a post in there to tell me how you are doing. I miss you and Tina. Give me a taste of USA reality!

Patriot1776 said...

Hey, are you still out there?? Would love to read another blog post sometime...

Hope you are well.
