Dorkette

I'm such a dork.. We had a swat call out tonight. I had filled up my Camel bak and threw it in the truck. After several briefings on the suspects it was time to go. I put on my bullet proof vest and then my Camel bak. I was riding along and water started running down the back of my pants. The zip lock bag I put ice in was leaking and it was pouring out... Nice.... here I am running around with all these guys with guns and I look like I had an accident.. Thank goodness it was dark by then and I don't think anyone noticed. I was also thankful it wasn't like 18 degrees out or I would have been in trouble.

Then I go home to jump in the shower to run to work. I tipped over this little lightweight stool we have in the bathroom and it bounced off the first joint of my big toe. That happened over 2 hours ago and it still hurts. I am such a dork and should be afraid of myself.

Gone Fishin'

We ran to the lake today to do a little fishing and that's exactly what it was..a little. The storm moved in about 1 hours after we got there so we packed up and came home. Emma was on the dock with us but she was getting in the way and I just knew she would get hooked so I moved her. She sat on the ramp and waited. Then one of the monsters caught this guy and he had a lot to say...go tell Emma.She was so excited but he swam off and she was not a happy camper. So her next move was to pretend she was a Navy Seal and swim out to us. I can't believe she got in by herself and went to town. She loved it..then....... Look at those big eyes.

She got out a little to far and started sputtering.. We saved her but she kept trying it.

She was fine down there with he burrs stuck to her belly and feet but the minute she got home she tucked her tail and knew something wasn't right. So I cut the burrs out and she got a warm bath.. She is a pretty girl again. Ya just got to let your hair down and get dirty once in awhile.
She loved it. I still can't believe she jumped in by herself...She is no longer my baby girl.

Weird call

This is the weirdest call I have had in a while. I got a 911 call. The guy says there is fire in the woods along the road and wants to know if there is a Jack that works with forest services. Okay first we don't refer to ODNR as "forest" services. We don't have so called forests in Ohio or atleast this area. Then he can't tell me what road he is on. He wants to just hang up and I want to say that my crystal ball is a little foggy tonight and I need some more info. So I try to ask more questions and he says that he will call me back and then says it close to the mine pit.. What mine pit.? Where on Earth is this guy calling from so I ask if he is in Ohio and he says that he's from Ohio. So I ask what state he is in and he says Minnesota...How a Minnesota 911 got to SW Ohio I don't know. I guess we are having some major problems tonight. Sometimes this happens if when lines are cut.. Wowza... ~Cathy

No more Tupperware

Do you ever look at a word that you have written say weeks ago on something and think.. OMG I spelled that wrong. I was waiting for pics to upload and looked over at my "receipts" envelope and thought..OMG, am I stupid or what, that's is not how you spell it only to look it up and have it right.. I am loosing it. Okay, on to my post....

I hate my tupperware cabinet..G just laughs when I open it up and everything falls out. So today I decided to fix it.. It took me a whole 3 minutes. I don't know why the thought of organizing it is so overwhelming that I just live with it exploding everyday.

Before

After- all the lids matched up. Only 2 things is the wrong cabinet. I am happy now..for a week or so. Then theres the frig. The chocolate milk is balancing on cresent rolls or something. I couldn't stand it.Now let me explain the Bug Light.. We have had 2 cans in the frig forever..I mean FOREVER.. So the other night I thought I would buy some. So I bought a 12 pk and haven't touch a one. Then Saturday night we went to a friends house which we already had about 3 in their frig from way back so G ran in and bought some more. Then he brought it home with him and there ya go. A frig overflowing with beer that will go stale before it's touched again. Now my frig is clean and ready for CRIBS...or you...I am happy..Moving on to something else.

In a funk

For the past few weeks I have been in a funk about blogging. I used to have things lined up to talk about. But now I just sit here and wonder what I am going to say. I even took a week off and still can't get anything new. My garden, one of my main posts last year..well it's hasn't happened yet, and I don't know that it will. My flowers, they aren't blooming either. Does anyone have any questions they want to ask, anyone good dirt you want to know about me? I can't seem to come up with great meals anymore. I have been working on dirtbike pics and playing online poker. Other than that, I am stumped in so many ways. I need to get into sky watch and abc wednesday and get myself going but I until then. I will set here hoping you stop by and drag my butt out the door to find something to talk about.. ~Cathy

Geocaching

This is a airplane series. Cute idea. We couldn't find the one here on the creek but we got to check out a cool water fall.

While G made his way through the weeds I stopped to take pics.

We only found 2 of the 5 we looked for but we got to get out and walk and get some fresh air.

Go to

Boys Club

Last night I got invited to hang with boys in the garage. So I grabbed "baby" and the way we went. I sat there and captured all their hidden talents... Look D is not texting..Mark it on your calendars.

Cousin D going after my car that drove away without permission.Then it showed up again with the radio blarring.I would love to have this baby.. I don't know why but it would be nice, power steering and everything..wowzaaaaa..And I guess this is what they do..inspect, talk, inspect, fix.Then the good ole bikes come out for some fun. Here is our resident, model.

Here is D with his cousin. She is home from college, very tired after a full day of work.. I just say, get used to it honey.

The big tornado watch that eventually caused rain at 7 am... They are never right. So we shall continue to play.Nasty skies.Model slash warrior slash talent contestant...He is multi-talented.

and the x games section of the night.

Then I went home and got ready for work.

CRIBS D's version

The boys made a fort at D's aunt's house. They plan on sleeping in it however when it gets dark they opt to go back inside "in case it rains." Even if they never sleep out there they has had a lot of great hours working on it. Last night a got the exclusive CRIBS tour.

First I let him drive the land yacht down the road, he did really well. Actually I was too busy taking pictures to notice.

This is the Fort. I asked them if they needed ply wood or tarps and they said no.. Well I think they need something, but they are happy with it.

The firepit where they keep warm or I think it's more for light. Although monster cans probably don't burn too well. I big ole knife for the lions, tigers and bears. No dirty smut magazines here no no..it's a motocross mag.. bless their hearts. Pork rhines a staple in the fort diet. This must be the kitchen prep area. And no fort is complete without a lookout.The only bear they are going to see in this area. This is Presley..he is a big boy.He drooled on my camera. Yuck Yuck.One of the paths they have made. I love the green grass..

More to come.. I got to hang with the boys last night..
