Lunch is served

This is my buddy Rickey

This is my friend Leroy poking holes n the ice

I went ice fishing today. It was the first time in years and I forgot how cold you can get. No fish but had a great time on the ice with friends

Never mind the date on the picture it is wrong. The picture was taken today

An impromptu day off., I was joking with the bride this morning. I mentioned that we should go to Idaho and buy some lottery tickets so we could both retire. She took me at my word and we have both called into work. So when the sun comes up and we get dressed for the day we will be heading north.

I mentioned that I had bought my wife an MP3 player for her birthday and I had to take it back. Yesterday at lunch my buddy Nate and I went to Circuit city and bought her an Ipod. I figured I was home free. The Ipod did not have FM radio in it. So back it went and I ended up buying a different MP3 player, she is now happy, and that is what I live for. I guess the third time is a charm.

Time to go enjoy my coffee in front of the fire and wait for the sun to come over the mountains, have a great day

I bought my bride an MP3 player this afternoon for her birthday (Sunday). I specifically asked if I could down load songs from a CD, of course I was told yes. This MP3 was made exclusively for Best Buy. We were given a 2 month free subscription to BEST BUY MUSIC STORE MANAGER. It appears that this MP3 player made exclusively for Best Buy will not let you rip CD’s you can only down load music from BEST BUY MUSIC STORE MANAGER ( $14 a month). Which I am upset about, but what is even worse I can not get BEST BUY MUSIC STORE MANAGER to load on my computer. I spent minimum of 45 minutes on the phone with Ann from tech support. She had uninstall and reinstall the software 4 or 5 times. I paid $223 for this unit and I do believe it will be going back this weekend. I would take it back first thing in the morning but I am heading for the gun show in Salt Lake City. I sold a rifle last weekend at a small gun show up in Ogden. I need to replace with a different rifle. So between me exercising my second amendment rights and taking the bride to http://www.lacaille.com/ for her birthday my Saturday is pretty well shot. The return will have to wait until Sunday after church.

My San Diego Chargers just lost the playoff game. They are out of the playoffs. This was a heart breaker. It was ours to lose and we did. We got some really stupid penalties. But it is only a game. Win or lose they are still my Chargers.

My body aches everywhere, I have little to no energy, I did not go to work today, and tomorrow is not looking to good. I am supposed to go to birthday party tonight. That is not going to happen. I am glad I have snow in the yard that way I am not feeling guilty about not doing yard work.

U.S. Protests Mexican Decision To Give GPS Devices To Illegal ImmigrantsJanuary 4, 2007 8:01 p.m. EST

Mexico City, Mexico (AHN) - U.S. officials are in an uproar after the Mexican government approved a bill which will issue global positioning satellite (GPS) tracking devices to emigrants crossing into America illegally. Mexico says it will issue an estimated 200,000 devices in 2007, in an effort to save hundreds of lives as the crossing North grows even deadlier in the hot summer months. The move is seen as a protest against Washington's efforts to build a fence along the U.S.-Mexico border to curb the growing problem of "undocumented workers."
Mexican officials say the crossing, which is usually led by a guide, called a "coyote," is dangerous and deadly. Often, a coyote will take the payment and simply leave the immigrants stranded in the desert, or even hold them for ransom.


If the Mexican wants to save hundreds of lives, maybe they should fix Mexico and provide jobs, Do away with the corruption, and keep their people home. I believe this should be considered an act of war by the Mexican government. They are aiding in the invasion of the United States.

The government has lost its mind and in doing so is stabbing honest tax paying citizens in the back. It seems that there is an agreement with the Mexican government to allow Mexican citizen to cross our border (legal or illegal) and work for 18 months and this allows them full social security benefits. We all know social security system is in trouble. Many Americans count on the money that they paid into the system to see them through till their dying day. Most Americans have worked their entire life paying their social security tax in the belief that the money would be there. But now in as little as 18 months you can receive social security , but only if you are not a citizen of the United States. All this time I was taught that our elected officials were to represent the citizens that sent them to Washington. I guess I was fooled.
