Weekend Wrapup

Fri. Had the plumber over to snake the sewer lateral. Went and got a new phone, the usb port on mine quit working so it wouldn't charge. Went to work.

Sat. Went out and bought some new dress shirts and pants for work. Picked up some parts to fix the drain in the bathroom. Went to work early, had concert to deal with, (Uncle Cracker). Was supposed to do the run to take them back to the airport but I pawned it off on one of my drivers.

Sun. Got up and went to Madison to take wife to church. Son and I went to eat pizza while she was busy then he took off to stay with friends for a few days. Picked wife up and headed home. Came into work early. Lots of interesting stuff happening. First guy who was either crazy or on drugs was acting weird and Sheriff and ambulance were called. Then someone was caught shoplifting at our gas station and took off running when the Sheriff showed up. Chased him through the hotel, out the side door and finally caught him in the parking lot. Currently in cuffs and investigation is continuing. We haven't even got to the part of the night when the really weird stuff happens yet. Don't know if this means the rest of the night is going to be weird or if it's all going to happen early. Guess I'll wait and see.

Friday: Ran errands with mum to Costco in the a.m. Came home and did laundry and some other random cleaning. Ash left work early and came over because we were expecting snow too; I made this for dinner: Kale, Green Onion, Onion and Garlic, Canadian Bacon, Turkey Sausage, Shredded Queso

Saturday: I managed to convince Ashlee to come with to CrossFit! It was a pretty fun workout so I think she really liked it; she mentioned a box near her side of town had a free beginners class and might go check it out. Gross/sweaty gym pics:

My lovely girlfriend looking... lovely. I look like a sweaty SOB.

We came home and Ash took a nap; I played a bit of Fallout 4, but mainly read. Later we watched Inglorious Bastards and I made tacos.

Sunday: Got up early for my first competition class. I normally workout fasted, but since it was a 1.5-2 hour competition setting, I ate a whole wheat tortilla with some scrambled eggs and turkey sausage. Left 30 min. early to give me plenty of time to get warmed up. Comp class was made up of four different WODs and I started out on a high note, getting two new PRs for double-udders and for a split clean and jerk. Second WOD was a 400m row, 60 seconds of rest, then a 400m row, all for time. I was aiming for 3:45, but actually finished at 4:15. WOD 3 was the worst; a descending ladder (10, 9, 8, ...1) of box jump overs, burpees, and wall balls. I don't have regular box jumps, much less overs, in my skill set, so I did step overs and used the 20# medicine ball. There was a 15 min. cap and I was only able to finish ups the 9s before time was out. WOD 4 was tough, but I did well; clean and jerk and then with arms locked out we had a 60ft walk. Drop weights at the end of 60 ft, turn around and pick it back up to do three more times. After that we had to do toes to bar, which I have to scale to knees to chest, before finishing up with hand release pushups. I did three full rounds, plus 8 more knees to chest before time was called.

I came home and spent a bit of time with Ash before she had to leave, then spent the rest of the day relaxing around the house.
 
Friday -can't remember

Saturday - chilled at home until the Mrs. Wanted to go and see some friends play at the Ole Ship in Santa Ana. When they finished their set, a Namm Allstar jam happened - it was okay. Guitarist I heard was from fuel, singer from Blind Melon, Keyboardist from Lynyrd Skynyrd and etc. unsure on the rest. The songs they played were just classic rock tunes.

Sunday - Watched my Pats lose - sucks.... Went to a pro blues jam this evening to forget the burn.
 
Friday - worked. Went into HQ for a team meeting and then a retirement lunch for one of my team mates, well ex team mate. Had a great home made roast pork dinner. Then took my wife to the hospital. Long story that doesn't need to be told here but she'll be fine.

Saturday - two visits to the hospital, then stopped into to see our friends' band for a set. My wife insisted I go. I wanted to go though because the band is going through a bit of drama and I wanted to show support. Things are on track. Should be good.

Sunday - two visits to the hospital. Made my own dinner with some of the leftover pork and this.

Settling in to watch X-Files and wait for my daughter call for a ride home from her company holiday party. They do it late because they're busy during the holidays
 
Friday - Worked about 3 hours extra (dang finance department). Cleaned the apartment. Made some killer white bean soup with the ham bone left over from Christmas.

Saturday - Had breakfast with a friend. Went into work for a bit. Then my GF and her daughter drove up. We went to the Childrens Museum, Starbucks, Church, then dinner. Then went back into work for a bit at 9:30 :annoyed:

Sunday - Actually slept in for a very rare change. Went shopping. Made a big pile of carnitas to eat now and freeze more for later. Had movie night with #1 daughter while constantly being emailed by the #@$%^& Finance Department about bailing their ragged asses out again. Went into work at 9:30PM again which is where I am right now. They just finished up their programs that they hosed so maybe now I can go home. :annoyed: I am not a happy camper with work right now. I'll leave it at that.

Hey Mark, Hope Jacob is doing well.

Friday, vegged. Snow removal Saturday, we had 14" official, but it drifts like crazy in my driveway. Sunday, shot some and worked on guitars.
 
Made 30 feet of Pigeon board on Saturday which meant I hammered aproximately 1000 nails into 30 ft. of 1x3. The premade pigeon spikes cost like 30 bucks for 6 feet, 2 boxes of nails/three hours and 30 feet of 1x3 plywood cost 17 dollars and change. I only ruined about 10 nails and hit my thumb about 5 times, not bad. They were gone from the carport and haven't been back BUT now I have to get more wood and close up a section where the house roof over hangs above the carport. It's probably sixty feet but it's their last refuge and then hopefully they move to somewhere else since they only seem to like covered ledges. I been fighting these bastards for over a year and a half :Rage:

Mojo for Wein junior and Mrs DodgeChargefan.

Friday - Quiet day at the office, but I spent the day getting my online class pages together and taped a welcome for my online class, getting ready for today's start of the semester.

Saturday - A couple of morning appointments, then home. I changed the strings on one of the guitars to prepare for Thursday's gig.

Sunday - A very little bit of shoveling ( we got maybe 2 inches of snow); mostly I hung around the house reading and watching some TV. I got all of my stuff packed and ready for Thursday's show. Got to bed by ten ans I have to be up 6:30 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday this semester.
