Floored

I wish I could start off my new round of journal posts with a more interesting post but this weekend wasn’t the most exciting. I spent the weekend putting polyurethane on the floors in our dining room and living room. Jocelyn and I were banished from the TV for the weekend because we couldn’t walk on the floors while they were drying. So to celebrate our new floors we had some steaks in the basement and watched COPS on our 13” TV in the basement with the Christmas decorations. Next weekend will be more exciting because it’s our annual Memorial Day BBQ which is guaranteed to bring some stories.

I’m Back… Again!!!

It’s been quite the hiatus but hopefully I can get a quick summation post up in the next couple days. I want to get the new theme buttoned up and everything imported so it will look like it did before I got lazy. I hope to get you loyal readers back, glad to be back!

Tour de ‘Boygan III

This Saturday Jocelyn and I biked to Falls for our close to annual Tour de ‘Boygan. This was the first year that we both had road bikes for the trip. I thought we would bomb up there in no time but a month and a half of not biking and ten miles an hour headwinds made for a slow five hour bike. It was way more brutal than I was expecting. Once to Randy’s house we showered up and met my mom and cousin Terri for dinner at Firehouse. The pizza was delicious as always and I ate way too much. After dinner my mom dropped J and I off at Hops Haven. We watched the first half of the Badgers game there. Since they had a live that was going to start during the second half we walked to The Skybox to watch the game in a better atmosphere. After the game was over Randy picked us up and dropped us off in Falls. We hung out at the O and caused a ruckus until bar time. Sunday, too sore to think about biking home, we had Rich drive us back. Sunday we watched in amazement as the Packers beat San Diego to start 3-0, amazing!

Football and Fall

We went to the Brewers game on Friday. We skipped happy hour this week. The game stunk, the Brewers were down five after the first inning. Sheets is a bum. After the game we went to The Pub for a couple burgers. We hadn’t been there in a while and they scratched an itch I’ve had for a while.

Saturday was a gorgeous day. You can tell Fall is right around the corner. I’ve missed the last two Badgers games since I was in Canada so I wasn’t about to miss this one. I headed out to Luedke’s parents’ house to watch the game in their media room. A bunch of the guys went out there. We had a couple beers and watched the Badgers struggle to beat Citadel. I haven’t been overly impressed with their play so far this year. At least we’re not Notre Dame. After the football game we headed to Adam’s for Chappy’s bachelor party. There were about twenty guys there. Everyone played cards but I wasn’t overly interested in playing so I watched football and drank beer. We played some drinking games, at some pizza and smoked some cigars. It was a good time. Chappy’s single life is quickly melting away.

Take this Job and Shove It

This past Wednesday was my last day at ASQ. I quit on a Wednesday so I could have a little free time before starting my new job. Thursday was the first night of the fair so I headed up to Plymouth. Both my brothers’ families went. I had some fried cheese and some beers. We watched the tractor pulls and talked to some friends. After the fair we stopped at Antonio’s for a nightcap before heading back to Rich’s.

I tried to sleep most of the day on Friday. We were taking off for Canada when J finished work. I didn’t get nearly as much sleep as I wanted. It’s hard to sleep during the day when you don’t have blackout curtains. J got home about four and we packed up the car and started the drive to Canada.
