Fun weekend with special guest

Howard arrived for a visit on Friday..! We spent some time at Glacier National Park and even went on a nice quad ride to Lost Prairie. We even got in a couple geocaches.. all of the videos are below!
The weather is hot here now so we are being mellow this Sunday.

Lowes Sucks & a HomeDepot Prank

Oh my.... my afternoon didnt go to well as Lowes screwed me over again and sold me the wrong shingles. So, I had to cancel my help and return to town. I am/was very mad. This video has turned me around. Someone is giving a prank call to HomeDepot and they are using sound clips from Hank Hill... Hilarious!

Back to work

Now that I have returned from sending Erica off to Hawaii, I can get things wrapped up on the cabin. I will be meeting Frank (local friend/builder) at the cabin so he can get the rest of the roof installed. Being an experienced builder, he does not have a problem with heights and will pound the roof out in no-time.. I think I am going to hire him to help with the siding as well.. yeah!

Stacie is still vacationing in WA and will return Wednesday morning. Last she called from Sumner/Puyallup and was out with her girlfriends. I do know that they went to Olive Garden for dinner. I had a bag of popcorn. I guess some of us are more fortunate than others.

Finally - the last video (3 of 3)

2 of 3

I had a fun evening at Rick and Sue's while in Wenatchee. I filmed quite a bit of us but had to cut out most of it because I feel our 'casual' language and content should remain off-camera. Some people there hold public office - so its best to be careful. haha

I am still editing the final (3 of 3) video...

Overdue

It has been nearly a week since my last post as things have been busy. This weekend Erica departed to Hawaii to spend the summer with her dad and family. This is always a sad time for all of us - but it is also a very exciting time for her. She is excited to see her dad, sisters and the beautiful beaches of Hawaii. After spending over 2 months there, she will return to Montana in late August. Erica promises to keep her blog updated with pictures and letters.

I just returned from WA today.. Stacie will return in 2 weeks. :(

I will upload some videos this afternoon..

Cabin Update

Erica Honor Roll - Again

Seasons Past

Now that the Cup has been kissed and paraded in Detroit, it is time to look forward to another season. Only 3 more months until training camp!

Today I went to the cabin to get the roof done. I did get quite a bit on but I am not done. I would say about 40% complete. I should finish it up tomorrow - with the help of Erica. She is going to earn a some money before her departure to Hawaii next weekend. :(

Good news: We were approved for our construction loan so now things are really going to get rolling. Obviously, this was the biggest step so far.. so I am glad we can move forward. Yeah!

I will be back at the cabin all weekend and I will try to get a video of my (completed) progress.
Bye!

Countdown to Game 6

In my last post I said that ANYTHING can happen in the Finals and I was right. With 34.6 seconds remaning in the game (and the series), the Penguins tied the game to take it to OT. The Wings would lose the game after 3 OTs... Oh boy.. Stacie was sure happy!

Check out the Game 6 Countdown on the right menu --->

Is Tonight the Night?

The Cup will be present in the Joe (Lewis Arena) tonight and the Wings are hoping to get the final win (and the Cup) in front of a home crowd. I am feeling really good about tonight but I do not want to spoil anything by overlooking the Pens attempt to get back in the series. Like I said last week - if the Wings win (Game 4) and return home for Game 5 - the Cup is theirs. The Wings don't lose at home. It is the Stanley Cup Finals and ANYTHING can happen. Let's just hope for a good game!

What does Stacie think? "I think the Penguins is going to kick some butt and Crosby is going to be p*ssed."

Bring it on!

A Huge Win and a Quick Weekend

The Wings are one win away from winning the Cup - and this may happen Monday night in Detroit. Party time here...!



This weekend was short and quick but I did get a lot done at the cabin. I continued my attempts in finding my long property line. I think I finally found it. Also, the recent spring weather blew my felt paper off the cabin roof so the mega-rain downpours we have experienced here found its way in the cabin. Today I repapered the roof and applied a big tarp. I was soaking wet.. long day. I am beat. Time to rest for another big week!
