December

Yup. Its Christmas time again, spend all your money and go into debt. I'm almost done, just got mom left. She's always the hardest to shop for, I'm not into the same things she is so I have no idea what to get her. The weekend of the 15th the boys and I went snowmobiling up in the Pembina Gorge by Olga. Fourteen hours of straight riding! Ouch! Was sore for a couple days but what the hell. Price you pay for having fun. Work is dull, done a couple seal coat typicals on the computer. Other then that nothing really going on. The 29th the boys and I are heading back north snowmobiling. Can't ride my Harley got ride something. If you read this Doug you could probably bring any one of those movies with you one time and take the title from me. Maybe? That is unless your scared and don't want to embarrass yourself. Yes that is a challenge Sniket! Do your worst! Please, I'm bored and need something to do like torture dad with horrible movies.

Been Awhile

It's been awhile since I posted anything. Been busy. I was given another job to do for the Minot District. A survey on a wooden bridge which was pretty cool. I got to use my GPS equipment and see the out come on the computer. With everything that makes your life easier, there are two things that make it harder. I'm not going to whine about those, just grin and bare it. The survey is done, just sending it in now.
November 9th was a holiday as far as I'm concerned. Opening day of Deer season. I shot 2 that day. The rest of the weekend we didn't see anything. Saturdays and Sundays for the rest of the season would be the same. I took the fallowing week I took off from work to go hunting and do other things, like get a new tattoo. It was a great week.
MONDAY: I got my new tattoo at Dead Rockstar in Fargo. A rendition of our family crest, which turned out sweet. Very professional, clean environment. By the way Doug, Brice said hi.
TUESDAY:nothing
WEDNESDAY:nothing
THURSDAY: My buddy Denis and I went hunting again. I shot my buck and he got a nice doe.
FRIDAY: Same as Thursday only Denis shot the buck and a doe and I shot a doe. Denis and I have all our tags filled now.
SATURDAY & SUNDAY: We went to help my brother-in-law Brian. Denis and his son didn't come out on Sunday. My niece Emberly came hunting on Sunday for the first time. I made her shoot my SKS, it's not a big round so it don't kick. She was still scared so I had to hold it while she pulled the trigger.
Went hunting with Jack and Brian on Thanksgiving, I shot a doe for Brian. Jack and I go out again on Friday and each shoot a deer.
That's pretty much brings us up to present. I'm going to start processing my deer meat this weekend. Still haven't worked on my Harley. Someday. Doug, I've got those pics you asked for.

Bugger!

I've beeh working evey day for the last two weeks, and I mean every day. Not this weekend! My little bro and his family are coming home this weekend to visit. Hopefully he will remember to bring the printer. If not, oh well. I spent the last week in Minot working, Bugger! I go back next week on Tuesday. We are helping them do their cross sectioning of the highway they redid this year. Not hard work, just tedious. Especially when you got ten miles of it. So we are going to help, it goes faster with the GPS. We'll have one base station and two rovers going so it should go pretty fast.
My harley is still broke down. Bugger it all to hell and back again. I have not even had a chance to look at it. Soon I shouild be working on it, I hope.

As soon as I can!!

I will post the pics from the trip Matt and I took to the west coast as soon as I get a scanner (hint hint Doug). It was as awesome ride. Over six hundred miles of curves, perfect weather, and a good buddy to ride with. Best idea I had in a long time. That's the way it works, I have the idea to go. Matt plans the rout, and we pick a time and go. This spring I think we are going to Texas. Why? Because its there. I post more info on that ride and the one we just did later. I gotta go tare down a house right now.

Good times had by all!!

Well I didn't go to Sturgis, but friends of mine did. They had a blast which is good, they deserve it. They got back last Friday night and stopped by the bar. Clint broke his bike about Buffalo SD. So they rented a Uhaul and trailered the bikes the rest of the way home. Clint and Jaeger and Crystall all got new tattoos.
Another event I could not afford was the Reverend Horton Heat in Fargo. My brother doug went with friends of his and had a really good time by sound of it. I just could not afford to spend the weekend in Fargo. Not with fixing on my Harley to get ready for the hell ride Matt has got in store for us.
But I did go see Jackal play in New Rockford this weekend. We missed the opening act (a one man band, and from what I'm told the guy was blind) cause we were in the bar. Next on was Seventh Seal. I probably spelt the name wrong, oh well. They were pretty good. I would go see them again. Then the main event of the evening, Jackal came on. I was maybe three people from the stage. They sounded great. It was kind of like a club concert, a more close nit atmosphere. Damn good time, I know because I can barely talk from singing along with all the songs. It's getting better now. After the concert we went to an after party at cool little place, I'm not sure they want the name of it out so I won't say where. We left there with one extra passenger. Ryan was left there by his buddies so we gave him a ride home. A little out of our way but I ain't going to leave a friend hanging like that. Neither would Mandy which is good cause she ended up driving us home. I couldn't stay awake. All home safe and sound and every one a good time. Now we can relax from the weekend.

New Plan

Ponch and myself have a new plan. Since we could not make Sturgis, we are thinking of trying to make it to the west coast in two days. Its about 1540 miles by the rout Ponch picked out. It ends up being about 800 miles per day. That's going to be some hard riding! What the hell though, right. You only live once and that's the only ocean bordering the states that I have yet to see. We may have a third for our little adventure, our buddy Cort may come with. We don't have all the details worked out yet, so there will be another post with more info. Till then, Ride Hard, Live Loud, Fuck Often, and The Hell With Em If They Can't Take A Joke!!

*&^*%^(

Catchy title huh. It's not really appropriate to put what I want to say up there. My buddies Denis, Jen, Clint, and Crystal are leaving for Sturgis in about two hours here. I can't afford to go. Chris and Christina are leaving on sunday. I'm going to stay home and get drunk. Another friend of mine, Mandy, got us free tickets to the races on Saturday nite. So the weekend is not a total loss. I have not gotten the honda home yet. The weekend my brother was home was not really working for either of us I think. This weekend though I'm bringing it home. Other than the races, I've got nothing better to do. Finally starting to get some overtime, make a little extra cash. Other than being frustrated about Stugis, things are starting to go a little better. Next time Doug comes home I'll have the bike ready for him. As soon as I can find training wheels big enough for a motorcycle.
