Big Cats Need Big Food

Body in Motion!

Ummm....THANK YOU! Even though that really doesn't express my gratitude I have to say that. I am so grateful to have Dr. Shawn there for me.

Yesterday I woke up with a pain in the neck. It was bearable in the beginning. By around 1:00 pm it was down right HURTING. So I drove all the way from New Orleans to go to my trusted doctor. It was totally worth the trip too! Within about 45 minutes I was back on my feet with hardly any pain at all.

Thanks to Body in Motion I can actually turn my head now!

How I lost $40

Yesterday when I went to work I decided that I have entirely too much money. So the only solution that I could find was to waste $40. I decided to pump some money into the economy locked my keys in the Shaw truck. Then I called Pop-A-Lock to come unlock the truck.

Colorado Trip: The Drive/Flight

I guess the first thing that I have to do is confess that I drank something on my restricted list!

Here is the reason: My flight is out of Houston, TX at 6:30 am on Friday... So I left New Orleans around 4:00 pm on Thursday. I got into Baton Rouge and got into my personal truck. My lovely wife wanted for me to get a couple of things from the Baker house, so passed by there. I was out of Baker for about 6:30. Because of the I-10 construction I made sure to take HWY 190 to I-49. So by the time I got into Lafayette it was 8:30. From there I had to print out my e-tickets and pack up. Long story short, I was packed and ready to go at 11:30. Of course I still had to go get gas and groceries. I needed something that was going to keep me awake for my four hour drive to Houston. This was my answer to that!


So do see what restriction I had? I will give you a hint, it says Wildlife on it! I know that I only said that I could have carbonation/energy drinks if it were a Jr.High lock-in. But I knew that I was going to need some juice in order to make it to Houston on NO SLEEP. So I had to have it. That stuff is GOOD too!

I got to the airport in plenty of time. No mishaps while on the road. So I was able to get on the plane on time and I was in Colorado at 7:30 in the morning!

Colorado Trip: The Arrival

I was picked up from the airport in this really fancy BMW. The best part about that is we took a toll road where there is NO SPEED LIMIT! Shawn was nice enough to take me 150 mph. It was pretty fun. Once we slowed down to 100 mph it was like we weren't even moving. So maybe I wasn't telling the truth about the no speed limit, neither was I telling the truth about how fast we went. But that was still a cool story. Shawn does have a fine little BMW though!

We stopped off and got some Breakfast Burritos and then headed to the house for some relaxation! Which was nothing but practicing for the Wii tournament.

Then we went to Kristen's school. That was fun, we got to help out. Since I am so tall we used my height to hang the kids' art work. They had to make a poster with 100 things on it. Well this one kid made a poster with 100 "lost socks". None of them were the same. It was 100 random socks. Maybe Kristen can take a picture of it for me and I will post it later.

After all of that excitement we went home for more Wii practice. Then we went out to eat at a Mexican restaurant. It was really good. We also thought about going dancing at a club with Hippies (right Amanda?).

Colorado Trip: The Hike

Kristen and I went for a hike at Mount Sanitas (I think). It was really fun. It makes me want to live somewhere that I can drive 20 minutes for some mountain hiking.

It was about a 2 hour hike. And we practically ran up the entire way, oh wait, never mind...I sucked wind the entire time!

Kristen was trying to hold her car from the top of the mountain.

Colorado Trip: The Dealer

Shawn has been working at a VW dealership for a long time now, too long! He is just too good at his job. If I only needed a vehicle right now, I most likely would have driven one home (especially if he showed me the car at night). I really like a lot of the features that this van has, the Routan. I have always been a Toyota guy, but Shawn has me considering the Routan!

Colorado Trip: Rock Band/Wii Sports Tournament

So Kristen told me that we were going to have a Rock Band party with a bunch of her Colorado friends. By the time it was within a couple of hours of the party everyone started to cancel on us. It was almost like Kristen wanted me to think that she actually had friends. I personally thought that she was paying people to call her and make up these excuses, just to make me think that people really were going to come.

In the end she did have some friends over. Due to a really good guilt trip! So we had some fun that night. We all grew moustaches!

**Thanks for coming over Adam, Katy, Reily, Regan, Leum, and Reese. (I most likely did not get the spelling correct on those names.)**

Colorado Trip: Snow Day!

Oh yeah, SNOW DAY! Kristen on skis, Scott and Shawn on snowboards. We were carving up the entire mountain! It was a small mountain that packed a HUGE amount of fun. We had a blast. I am getting better with the snow board, but I still had my moments with falling.

Oh, and I wanted to go sleding too. Since I would be getting into the car, I had to make sure that I didnt get my clothes all wet.

Colorado Trip: Snow Day - WATCH OUT!

This was my attempt to be funny...did it work? In the last seconds of the video you can hear a bystander..."Oh my God!"

Colorado Trip: Snow Day - Sledding!

This is a trick that a Canadian taught me...thanks for the trick Glenn! I had to go in my swim suit to make sure that everyone knew it was'nt that cold out there.

Best of the season!

I am pretty sure that this picture gets the award "Best of the season". Never did I expect to see something like this on my trail camera in the back yard. It took almost a whole year, but it was totally worth the wait to see.

If I had to guess I would say that this is an 8pt and a 6pt. The six point is much older and much tougher (if you ask me).

Now if I could only extend hunting season a little longer...
