MISSIVE (MISSILE?) FROM PETE

Tyler is graduating from basic training on October 3rd. Pete, Kim, Ron and the kids will be going down there for the ceremony.

Pete asked that I post Tyler's address on the blog (yes, the blog. you gotta love the irony) so that anyone who might want to, can send him a card or whatever.

We all know (because I've blogged about it before) how Tyler had always wanted to be in the service, what a trial it was, with many disappointments, before he was finally accepted. I think it would be nice if those of us who can send him a little card congratulating him and letting him know how proud we are of him. (Say a little prayer while you're at it that he never gets sent over to fight in that motherclucking war).

Because I've had some HUGE things going on, I haven't been posting much so this is a little on the running out of time side, but if you hurry, you can get a card to him before the 3rd. After the 3rd, his address will change.

SOOOO.......Tyler's address is:

PV1 Tyler Trimbach
CO G 1/46th AR 1st PLT
3576 Wilson Road
Fort Knox, KY 40121-5728

In other news, Mark has a couple of videos he wants to share with everyone that he found about kentucky...i thought it would appropriate for those of you heading that way next month.

Here's one about Benham-Lynch and the coal mines:




and here's one about the road over black mountain:



There's more where those came from.

And last, but certainly not least, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MICHELLE (you certainly don't look almost 40), JOHNNY (you certainly don't look old enough to have a daughter almost 40) and MIKE (you never read this anyway). Hope all your birthdays were and are fantabulous!!

I will be posting sporadically, if at all, for a couple of weeks, due to some HUGE changes which I will explain later.

Tootles!

p.s. this pretty much uses up all my good cheer, charm and make nice to other people for the month.....enjoy it while it lasts. it's not you......it's me.

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION

Well, we got our electric back on thursday(i think). So no more poopy in the woods. Within two hours of getting our electric back, the dumb farmer across the road ran his corn picker into the telephone pole and knocked out the phone line. the phone company came out and said the pole had a hot wire so we would have to wait for DP&L to come out. So i guess they came out yesterday (tuesday), because we now have our phone back today! Now we only have to wait on ALLSTATE INS. to get their sorry slow asses out here. They said that they have priorities! Such as people that are unable to live in their homes have to come first. And i told them bullshit! I am their highest priority and they better damn well recognize it! Like i give a rat's ass about anybody else! Anyway, to make a long story short, now they say they might not come out, just want us to fax them some estimates and e-mail some pictures. Why the hell didn't they say that a week ago. ALSO, sunday's newspaper had a picture of an eighty year old lady holding up a sign that said: DP&L SUCKS!, she said she hadn't been honked at that much since she was sixteen.

HMMM glad I live in the mountains on Tennessee. Although we just had our bout with gas prices. Knoxville was the highest in the country for about a week at $4.59 to $4.99. On a good note I played in a softball tournament last weekend and my team came in 5th, not bad for a new team. I hiope to have pics up on here soon. in closing I would like to say Happy birthday to Michelle and Dad. Hope to see everyone in October.
