Get a little mud on the tires


Hope everyone out there had a good weekend. I sure did.

8:00 Alarm goes off. Todd, you goose! You don't have to get up until 9:00!
8:45 Son wakes up Go downstairs, eat mini-wheats while he eats cheerios.
10:40 Church.
12:05 Talk with Jon, my finishing carpenter friend. Go out for lunch with him and wives. No, he is not a polygamist.
1:30 Arrive home after son has breakdown in Jeep. Son goes to sleep.
1:45 Talk to Janice and plumber Gord.
1:50 Watch some guy stuck in the snow across the street. He got out with a shovel and ate shoot hardcore. Tell Gord, we laugh really hard. Wife disappointed she missed it.
1:55 Guy finally gets up off road holding his arm.
1:56 Go out to see if he's ok, try to push him free. Turns out he was a pizza delivery guy. Said I would help him for a free pie. He said no, I started to walk back to house, he finally agreed. Man, I drive a hard bargain.
2:15 Tell him to stop spinning his bald tires because his engine was smoking and his exhaust turned blue. There is a reason that this guy was delivering pizza's. Lets just say I wouldn't have him defend me in court. I think his name was Cleetus. Look under his car and see it is basically hi-centered on the snow.
2:20 He says "Hey, did you say you had a truck? Heeeyuck." I said yes. He said "Do you think you could pull me out? Heeeyuck." I said I know I can pull you out, whether you have a bumper when all is said and done... He said "I need to deliver these pizza's or else. Heeeeyuck." I said fine, but I accept no responsibility for anything that happens to your car. He said "heeeeeeeyuck." I took that as a yes.
2:25 After digging out a place to actually hook up to, I tell him that he should put it in drive, do not touch the gas, and once he is out, he had better break when I brake, because my hitch would do a hefty number on his hood. He said "heeyuck."
2:26 Put it in 4 lo. Started moving, and what do I see in my mirror? A rooster tail of snow coming from his front wheels. I thought, "O well, this should be fun." Luckily for him he stopped once he was free. He hit his brakes, but I kept going for a few more feet. Reversed, unhooked, went and parked. He honked and gave a grateful "HEEEEEEYUCK" as he drove away. I just ant to say thanks to all my lazy neighbors who watched this whole thing unfold instead of coming out and helping me push.
2:45 Go to sleep.
5:00 Son wakes up. I wake up. Guess we aren't going to the zoo today.
5:30 Ate some pizza pie. Thanks inbreeding.
7:45 Fed son snack.
8:00 Gave son bath.
8:15 Put son to sleep.
8:30 Watch some Arrested Development.
10:51 Write this line.
11:00 Shower.
11:15 Go to bed, eagerly anticipating a new work week. I get to see Jake tomorrow! And Adam in his 1992 Isuzu Hombre! Woot Woot!


And a Woot Woot to you, too.
