Yesterday was an all guy type of day. It started off with a couple of buddies and I having breakfast, and then going to a gun show. I bought a gun and 1,000 rounds of ammo. I finished of the day with an evening fishing trip and we caught some very nice fish. Just fun all day long.

I guess I should update what has been going on. Last Friday they hauled mom off in an ambulance. Mom passed out, it seems that she got dehydrated and her blood pressure bottomed out. Scary to say the least. I have her drinking a lot of water and Gatorade and she is doing so much better.

I took mom to the mountains today. She gets bored setting around the house so I try to keep her busy. We were up around 10,000 feet in elevation and mom walked about 25 yards total and I was not sure I would get her back in the truck. I figure the air was just to thin for her. I started back down the mountain at full speed. I had driven about 5 minutes when she started complaining about how fast I was driving. I knew she was okay, I turned the truck around and headed back over the mountain. ( We traveled from Kamas UT to Evanston WY ) . Had nice lunch in Evanston and came home. All and all we traveled a little over 200 miles and had a good time.

Had breakfast this morning with some old friends that retired a couple of years before I did. It was good to see them and we all had a good meal and laughed the whole time. That just about does it for an update on me and mine.

Busy morning so far. I started off with coffee, the only way to start the morning. I spent a good portion of the morning splitting fire wood. It will be 97 degrees today but I know winter is just around the corner and I have to get it done. I finished off pulling weeds from around the bird feeder and picking tomatoes, peppers, and onions from the garden. I figure to use all as ingredients (not the weeds) in great sandwiches for lunch.
I called an old friend that retired a couple of years before me and planned a fishing trip for tomorrow morning. Both of us being fishermen we figure to spend most of the morning lying to each other and have a good time.

I just had a great conversation with Dave, a friend I met bloging. Dave is from Scotland. and a heck of a nice guy. Utilizing SKYPE and my new wireless laptop with a built in webcam we talked for a little over 15 minutes I have decided SKYPE is a wonderful thing. With SKYPE I am able to talk to anyone in the world free. Dave tried to talk me into using SKYPE a few years ago but I was resistant. That was foolish of me. I look forward to having conversations with Dave in the future, and any of you that have SKYPE let me know.
