June 13, 2008Actually…
I just got my design made into vinyl graphics for the sides of the boat.
Here she is at my friends dock that we’re working on:
She’s a Sea Ray 18′ Bowrider with 125hp Mercury outboard engine.
The name is a play on words, as in; both boat and owner are ‘rundown’, or a favorite Caribbean dish made usually with fish, coconut milk and starchy root vegetables…
Last Saturday we had a backhoe there, that was pushing the pylons down into the canal bottom, and I was standing rather too close to that far one in the picture, when the top of it exploded under the pressure of the Backhoe’s bucket. I got fragged with a piece of PVC shrapnel in my ankle which cut me open through my jeans and athletic sock. luckily none of it hit my eyes or neck.
Daddy-bloggin’ quota filled

Image sent to my phone by an anonymous bluetooth addict on Saturday at my kids’ basketball games.
I had a relaxing weekend doing daddy-type stuff, culminating in a trip up to Rum-point on Sunday.
Summary of events:
Saturday:
Middle Trouble’s team lost badly… Again… Despite his best efforts [...he carries the team... and they're heavy...] but he deals with it well, and it’s “character-building…”
Oldest Trouble’s team tied… For the first time ever [...they always win... All the kids are 6-foot+... except mine, he's 4-foot-nothing and hardly gets the ball...] but he deals with it well, and it’s “character building…”
We adopted two Gerbils… I have dust-busted 168,234 Southern pine and Aspen wood-chips off the floor and assorted pieces of furniture so-far, and can now look forward to 2-3 years of similar…
Little Trouble bit Oldest Trouble on his stomach and drew blood… It was not in anger.
Older Trouble had words with me about my smoking.
Little Trouble hit Oldest Trouble in the fore-head with a small pot… Frozen Okra was applied… We were out of peas…
Sunday:
Treated 3 cases of juvenile hypothermia… Despite the near-freezing conditions due to a recent cold-front, the kids spent generous amounts of time in the water, resulting in purple fingered, blue-lipped adolescents begging me to buy them a strawberry-Daiquirí…
Little Trouble picked up someone’s half empty cup at Rum-point and drank most of it before I could grab him… I’m not sure what it was, but he did sleep soundly last night…
Geek-bloggin’ quota filled

I received a gift from Mt. Olympus at work on Friday afternoon… For my visually impaired readers who have difficulty seeing the picture above… It’s a brand spanking new wide-screen for my main CPU… 1680 x 1050 pixels of native resolution… Hell, I got so many pixels now I could give away a few hundred pixels and still have a whole pile of pixels left over to do whatever I want with… I could have a pixel-garage sale…
…I had to download a driver upgrade just to be able to use all the pixels…
The best part is that now I can look at my screen with both eyes open… [How do the kids say it these days?] …Woot?
Let’s link-up…
March 5, 2008I just spent a little time clicking on all my blogroll links to see who’s been naughty or nice so-to-speak… A whole bunch of people haven’t updated their blogs for a while, and some of the links don’t even work anymore…
So here’s the real deal… In the interest of maintaining the integrity of my perfectionisms where manicuring my blog template are concerned, I had to do some South-African Game Reserve style culling folks…
If your link got chopped down in what you consider its prime, and you still want me to link to your poor, malnourished, neglected blog because you plan to write another post sometime before Lindsay Lohan hits menopause… Then drop me a quick comment to tell me what a callous ass-hole I’ve been, and that you’d like to pummel me to death with flaming kittens for having the audacity to presume you were done with blogging, like Britney’s done with making babies… I’ll be happy to relink you…
Also, while we’re on the subject of links… If you are a recent commenter on my amazingly-lifelike doppelganger of blogness, and would like me to acknowledge your existence more-so than I do the ‘outside’ children I have running around all over the place, do feel free to insert your comment under my post also… Remember to specify your URL and whether you want a bog-standard text-link, or to be immortalized forever until the blog police get their thumbs out and shut me down, with a custom-made picture link of my own creation.
ALSO, if you like to read my site [okay, maybe "like" is too strong a word]… If you actually read my site, and don’t link to me from yours [...you know who you are...] that is much like looking in my bedroom window while I masturbate, and not even having the common decency to send me nude photo’s of yourself, or leave your curtains open in return… I’m not complaining… I’m pointing out what a self-gratifying, ingrate you are, in hopes that your conscience will badger you into giving me the love you know I deserve!
Just kidding, I don’t really care… But you can still send the naked pictures…
Working towards closure
March 5, 2008
I’ve come to the conclusion that selling my Jeep to someone who works with me was a bad idea… It’s like dumping your girlfriend, and then seeing her leaving your neighbor’s house the next morning with her panties in her hand… Every day, for the rest of your life…
…not that I know what that’s like mind you… I was just saying that’s what I THINK it would compare to…
Yeah, she wasn’t the youngest, prettiest girl rolling around here, but she was MY old piece… Now she’s with another… I get a little choked up still… *sniff
…At least he’s keeping her clean…
