TICKETS, OH YEAH

I plan on taking vacation the last week of August/first week of Sept. (same week but two months). This works out great as I want to go to the Crosby, Stills and Nash concert. And it is in the middle of the week.

To make it better, Dudette found out the Metalica concert was the same week. Those tickets went on sale months ago, and as far as I knew, they were sold out. But Dudette went on line and found out there were still tickets left so she got one for me. Now how cool is that?

Two concerts in one week; one old, one new. I may end up deaf (provided my earplugs don't work) but I'll be rocking.

Noise happens.

HARVEY

Here is a picture of Harvey, the turkey, from Dudette's work. For a long time, everyone thought Dudette was imagining things. Seemed everytime someone would show up at her office, Harvey would take that opportunity to be gone. They were beginning to think she had some serious issues.

So, here is Harvey, in the feathers. Probably waiting for another train to talk to.

SAFETY SHOES

Ordered a pair of safety shoes a couple months back. When they came in, they were the wrong size. I finally caught up with the shoe truck today to get replacements. They cost me an extra $4.75 to buy.

Why???? Because, they refund the "old" purchase price, and sell at the current price. Hence, the $4.75 up charge. Even though it was their fault.

Man have they got a racket going. And, we have to have steel toed shoes at work. Figures.

Scams happen.

HARVEY AND THE TRAIN WHISTLE

Dudette's "imaginary" friend, the turkey, Harvey, has developed a new trick. When a train passes on the tracks beside Dudette's work, it (the train), naturally, blows its horn. Well, when it does, Harvey gobbles back at it. Dudette can hear both through her window. She is borrowing the camera tomorrow so I can post a picture of Harvey.

Everyone still thinks she is making him up. Turkeys don't usually stay in one spot for a lot of time and Harvey has passed the time frames most turkeys will roost in a spot. So we want to get some shots of him before he is just a flashback in her mind.

Critters happen.

OH YEAH, OH YEAH

One of the people from Dudette's work went to the Black Hills in S.D. and brought me back a Sturgis T shirt.

CK asked if she could wear it (already). I told her it would be the last thing she wore. I hope she listens.

Biker events happen. (Yeaaaa!)

UPDATE

Sorry billy, I forgot to add the ending "happens" tag to this post. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. It has been corrected.

Friends happen.

A GIRL NAMED MARIA

Off to see "West Side Story" at the theatre tonight. Should be good. We've seen it before, and they did a fantastic job last time.

Later.

Shows happen.

SOMETIMES, YOU JUST HAVE TO SHARE

OK, so I'm not always politically correct. But somethings are worth sharing. Even if they are just funny out of sheer weirdness, or orneryness (is that a word?).

Most older members of the group have heard mention, and jokes, about how some nationalities have a rough time using English. It isn't their fault. We have a rough language. So, I have no qualm with them screwing it up. Hell, WE screw it up.

But it is funnier when they do it for some reason. Check out Engrish.com and you will see what I'm talking about.

Just cricking the button happens.

OH, YOU'RE NOT HERE

Dudette was going to pound me the other day. When I got home from work she told me so.

However...

ROLLING MEMORIAL: WORTH THE POST

Picked this up at Bogies place.

Not too often I kipe something off another persons' blog but...this one is worth it. Go check out the Rolling Memorial here.

Bring tissues.

LAWRENCE WINEFEST PICS

Finally got the Winefest Pictures loaded. The titles pretty much explain what is going on.

I had to post this one though. Two of our helpers from the event. The one on the left is CK's Chew and the one on the right is Drew. Also known at the event as "Salad" and "Buffet". Guess which one did most of the heavy stuff.

The pictures are not in any particular order, so enjoy wandering around and figuring it out. It is easy and a lot of fun.

Wait until the next one. Pictures should be better as I figure out the camera.

Enjoy.

Events happen. ps, bigger picture is in the photo album.
