Quality
I had a very good day today.
I bought a golf driver the other day and today Jordan, Jock and I went to the lake and smacked some balls around. I also went swimming for the first time this summer. The water was incredibly cold.
We set the tee up in front of a big hill I didn't think we would be getting much over it but Jordan the magnificent proved me wrong. He eventually got scared of taking car windows out and quit. After that we grabbed the dogs and Ross (Jock's friend) got towels, goggles, dog toys etc. I though I might not swim but brought my stuff just in case. of course the first time I through the ball into the water I pulled my socks and shoes off and said "I'm gonna beat the dogs to the ball." Which I did. The dog's we both pretty cold as well, Jane's teeth were chattering and Molly's was enduring some brain freeze digging in leaves trying to roll but vibrating too hard. She also tried to pull rocks out of the watter with her paws without getting her body we again. The nice thing was that she was too cold to make much noise, ugh... that one is VERY vocal ordinarily.
Yesterday was pretty good as well, I took Jordan out on a sushi date. Its nice to go and get a lunch meal to split and each pick a roll. I'm not sure he's a believer yet but I though it was very very good. I live the herring roe and eel meat is so delicate, the avocado is hard to beat as well.
I also learned a valuable lesson: Don't ever, even in desperation, ask a female for help in a retail store... she's just there to look cute(most of them don't even do that right) and push buttons... I accidentally subjected the two of us to 10 minutes of silly banter that was all wrong anyway.
I got my car washed... we'll see how long this lasts, It's nice to see it all blingin' for a while anyway.
We went to sport's authority, of course they don't carry bumper plates like every other "fitness" store in town... do they have bowflexes and curl bars?! Oh yeah man "curl's for the girls" they'll set you up. they also had kettle bells... up to about 25 pounds... what do you even do with a kettle bell that small?!
Work is going really well, I'm done with orientation now so I'll be making another $4 and hour, and I got called in so I made about 4 hours of over time this week. They had me scheduled for a Sunday so I texted the Humphrey boys to just pray for me while I went and talked to my boss. Tobi texted back something like "good luck on the test to see weather you're serious about serving God or not" and that kinda put it into perspective. I realized that for me to miss church services for work is a sin. The whole reason I'm not fighting fire right now is because I've got priorities. The truth is they don't want me on a Sunday, I'd be throwing up and crying all day... my boss was able to shift things around and now I'm gonna do a swing shift on Monday instead, but that's a small price to pay.

Just a little wraith humor.
(for those unaware these aliens suck the life out of you with their hands...)
enjoy
For those of you unaware of Stargate Atlantis you really should remedy that, it's awesome...

The latest adventure
Well the last documentary of my adventures went SO well and created such an increase in my fan base that I've decided to give you all another taste.
Oh and here's a great picture that I found on the camera from the other night. I guess jock came up with a bubble maker and the black dog seemed to enjoy it. The beagle how ever... stayed in that position all... night...
