OK. The dvd burner is awesome. I am learning a lot of stuff to do with it. I will plead the 5th when it comes to "everything" I'm using it for, but all in all it is a great and fast machine.
Swimming
I went swimming today. I had to jump in and clean the pool first. The water was cold but in this hot weather it felt nice. My mom and I blew up the water rafts and lounged around for a bit. I got a tad bit sunburnt. Not too bad though.
Goldie
Goldie is an old friend of my Aunt Mary. We haven't seen Goldie since my Aunt past away over two years ago. My dad called her and she came up to hang out for a few hours. It was nice to chat with her. We told her she could come up and visit any time.
More on my day later...

The Breakfast Club
For the lack of a better term, a few of the men from my church and I get together every other Wednesday morning at 6:30 am for a bible study and fellowship time. We meet at the local McDonalds. We have a notebook with items that we study and meditate on during the week and then discuss when we meet together. Mostly we are trying to find ways to share the Gospel and how to win people in our community for Christ. We take time to do some introspection and retropection. This is a great way for me to start my day. I wish we could do this every morning!!! I will be sharing more on this as we continue to meet...
NETFLIX ROCKS!!!
I have joined Netflix. For those who don't know what Netflix is, it's an online video store. You just click on the dvd's you want and they send them to you within 2 days. You keep them for however you want and send them back when you're done. Then they will immediately send you the next dvd's you want. You can log up to 500 dvd's. All this for a small monthly fee. To start things off, my family and I got the first 3 Star Wars movies. We watched Episode 4 last night.
The DVD Burner.
I just bought a new DVD burner. I still have to play with it though. I'll let yall know what happens.

Super Cleaning Day
I have had ENOUGH!!!
My home looks like a war zone. We have so much dry wall and tools laying around it's hard to make heads or tails of anything. We have no place to put bills or organize our finances also. So I started a massive re-organization of our home. I began with the upstairs. First, I went to my storage shed and brought back my bookcases. Then I organized my room. From there I went into the spare bedroom and swept up the thousands of dead ladybugs we had in that room after the exterminator came. Then I took all my dad's tools and placed them downstairs in what will be the computer room. I moved some shelves around and other items and now the spare bedroom is not only useable but liveable. My next goal is to start downstairs and clean up that area. But that is for another day. My allergies are killing me.

I took a trip to Wichita, Kansas at the end of May and I have a number of hours of footage to sift through. I'm off till Friday from work so I'm gonna sit down and play with the video and see if I can actually edit it on the computer I have. I may have to upgrade. If I do I have a system in mind. Wish me luck.

Father's Day addendum...
I had a wonderful Father's day. It was quite relaxing.
First we all got up and went to church. Seth gave an excellent lesson. It came from Joshua 1:1-11. Seth's point was that men need some type of adventure in their lives and this passage gives a great example of the type of adventure God has in store for us through what he gave Joshua. My and Mark were the only singers on the worship team. My mom got a lot of compliments for a job well done.
We then went to CRACKER BARREL to eat (no suprise here) and had a nice Father's Day lunch.
We came home and took naps. I went over my Uncle Danny's and spent time with the other side of the family. Everyone left Uncle Danny's to go to the house on the lake. I didn't even know West Virginia had a lake. I don't get out much here.
To top the evening off, my parents and I went over to Craig and Debbie's. They are friends from church and very good Republicans. So it's nice to sit around and talk about things we have in common. Timmy and Andrew got a new swing set/jungle gym and I had to go test it out to make sure it was safe for them to play on....hee hee hee.
We got home around 10pm and I was beat! My head hit the pillow and I was out.

Father's Day
I would like to take this time out to recognize one of America's endangered species, the father. Since the 1960's the numbers of the father have been slowly declining. To make matters worse, the growth of a great number of American fathers is being stunted by current cultural trends and pornography. All of this makes finding a good father pretty hard to come by. In this day and age it's one of the hardest jobs to be a husband and a father. So, I would like to give a moment of praise to the men who love their wives and take care of their children. You are truly a remarkable creature. Thanks for teaching us a sport, the difference between right and wrong, how to treat a woman through your example with mom, and the many other things that make us the people we are today.
Sign of the end times....
The Cleveland Indians have one 8 straight games. Some cosmic balance must have shifted...
I had a bad day at work. I'm gonna go to bed and sleep it off.

An Eventful Day...
Yesterday was somewhat of a confrontational day for me with the population of West Virginia. It is becoming increasingly irritating to me to tolerate the rudeness and ignorance of the local indigenous population. There were two incidents that occured today that caused me some discomfort.
Incident one (The middle-aged woman)
I was at Wal-Mart buying new work pants. I was standing in front of the credit card machine in the check out line. I had just swiped my card and was preparing to press the required buttons to complete the transaction when the woman behind me literally "bumped"me out of the way and began to place her purse and items on the checkout counter in front of the credit card machine. I looked at the cashier and she was as shocked as I was. So I placed my hand in front of the woman's belongings and pushed them all onto the floor. She in turn began swearing at me. I kindly replied "Please wait your turn." I then completed my transaction and went on my way.
Incident two (The love birds)
A couple came into Cracker Barrel and decided that it would be a rush to make out in the restaurant in front of other customers. At first they just sat next to each other and kissed. When my manager came out into the dining room they would stop. Kristy was busy in the back and she hadn't been in the dining room for a while so I guess the love birds decided that it was a great opportunity for some heavy petting. I was two tables away taking an order when all of the sudden the girl straddles the guy and they begin shoving their tongues down each others throats. My table is becoming uncomfortable along with some other tables in the dining room. I then watch the guy place his hand up the woman's shirt. That's when I excused myself from my current table and walked over to the love birds. I said "It is apparently obvious that you two love each other very much. But we are a family restaurant and if you could keep your actions rated G, that would be great. Thanks" They just looked at me as if they didn't get what I was saying. So I added this "What I'm trying to tell you is stop the spit swapping or leave." They then got up and left the restaurant.
I don't even want to know what they did afterwards.

Welcome Back!!!!
Wow. It's been over 3 months since my last post!!!
A lot has happened since then. I guess I'll just fill in the blanks as I continue to type on this blog....
Batman Begins
Today I went with my dad to see what will go down in history as the greatest Batman movie EVER made!!! It was a great origin story and the director made Bruce Wayne's transformation into Batman believable. The lack of main villans such as the Joker (who is hinted at at the end), Riddler or the Penguin does nothing to slow down this tale of the dark knight. Christian Bale outdoes Michael Keaton which is something that I didn't know could be done. I would just like to thank the director for no nipples on the batsuit and oversized penguins.
Farm work
We didn't get much done today. We started reinforcing the master bedroom floor in the evening after dinner. I wasn't into working though. For some reason I had an upset stomach and I was very tired. So we only reinforced one beam and I was in bed by 9:30pm.
I'm Awake!!!
OK. I slept until about 1am and now I'm up. I will probably go to bed soon. I remembered that I hadn't been to my blog and I told my friend Courtland that I would update it (Hello Court!). So here is to the return of the Bob Blog!
Yay!
