Oktobeerfest

We'll its that time again. Every October my little town of Walhalla has a Oktoberfest. It is a lot of fun. We have a beer tent, Polka band, and local craft vendors. There are several places to get a sausage and of course a funnel cake.
I have been attending since the first one back in the seventies. When I was a kid it was great because of the rides. When I was a young adults it was great for the beer tent. As a parent of a 13 and 17 year old there isn't a lot to get excited about. They are too big for the rides and they watch me like a hawk in the beer tent. Basically it will be a couple of sausages and a chicken dance before we ride the trolley back to the parking lot. 
Oh yeah almost forgot, the local politicians will be there with plenty of bumper stickers and pencils telling you why they don't suck as much as the other person.
Bring on the beer and brats!

Kidney stones

The third week of July I started having trouble peeing. Next thing I know I'm in awful pain and passing blood. A CT scan later I see the biggest kidney stone I could have imagined. That was just the beginning. Last Friday I had my fifth procedure trying to get these things out of me. I have had ultrasonic waves and lasers pushed through my privates and I still have stones left. Last year it was roids this year it is stones. Getting old is not for wimps.
Today is 46th birthday. My wife bought me a nexus 7. I love it. As a mate of fact I am using it to write this blog. Since it is so convenient I may be able to post more often.
Roads, stones, whatever, at least I am still here.

Old man working out

I'm too old for this stuff. I am trying once again to be healthy. I am sure it is a scene! Fat middle aged man sweating all over the place. Goodness it is hard to be healthy. Why do all of the fit people have to dress so skimpy? Is it comfortable to work out in those clothes? I hope I know someday. Just kidding I am too old and saggy to show my "stuff"

Fat overworked and tired

It has been forever since I blogged. Honestly i have just been too freaking busy, Maybe i will try it again. I definitely still have plenty to say. HCG tried that. Weight watchers tried that. I am still fat. I have decided it must be me. I am wrapping up a 4 day weekend and it has been wonderful! we went to see Rock Of Ages yesterday. It is awesome! I highly recommend it.
I have really gotten into twitter these days. It just seems better than facebook. I still like facebook don't get me wrong. I am a stalker at heart. LOL Keep posting those beach vacation pictures. :)

Have a great day!

Gameday

I so hope that Carolina beats Clemson today. My wife is going to the game. She is a tiger. I have been to a couple of the matchups. Won one lost one. Winning is better!

Wedding fun

Went to tennesee for a wedding. I would usually say I hate weddings but o honestly had a great time. Yeah I could mention a few negative moments but that's just life. We drove up on friday afternoon. I stopped and bought my mother in law a sack of peaches. I figure I need all of the help I can get. We got there just in time for the rehersL dinner. Wow it was good. Fried chicken, potato casserole, and all kinds of other good stuff. My favorite was strawberry shortcake made with fresh local strawberries and real homemade whipped cream. Words can't describe how delicious that was.
The next day my boy and I got up and went to see Iron Man. We were so glad we finally got to see it. That afternoon we had to get ready for the wedding. It had been raining off Nd on and the wedding was outside so we were nervous. It was beautiful, hot but beautiful. The ceramony was on a hill on my father in laws farm. The reception was on the river that borders his farm. We had delicious bar-b-que for the reception. There was a band, dancing, and family fun.
I really had a good time!
