Happy New Year!

I thought I would wish everyone a very Happy New Year, peace to us all, prosperity and health, and mostly, love in our lives!

Guac-A-Mole Update for 20 December 2011 ...

I actually started and finished a task in one day on this project! I only had to make one extra trip to Home Depot! I built the display board frame! It took me awhile to get it square, but I finally got it close. I made the frame out of 2X2s. My idea was to make it 30" X 30" and attach it to the Guac-A-Mole with hinges. I bought the hinges but i didn't mount it yet as I need to do work on installing the score board and the clock. Cheryl's idea was to mount then on the right side of the board, so that's what I did.

I used "Handy Panel" for the covering. We will decorate it with drawings on poster board and then glue the pictures to the display board.

Slowly but surely it's coming together ...

That was too close ...

I went to Harbor Freight yesterday, and I'm in the store about one minute -- I hear pandamonium outside: A woman was carjacked at gunpoint right outside the door! Before I understood what was going on, the perp was turning East on Fletcher in the poor woman's blue car! She's OK and the sherriffs were there pretty quickly.

I always thought that I would fight back in a situation like that -- which is a stupid idea. I have second-guessed my not jumping into my car to try to follow the goons in the lady's car. I have since reasoned that they would have given me the slip pretty quickly. Yeah, that's the ticket ...

Guac-A-Mole Update ...

Well, I have six days off in a row! Woo-hoo! I don't go back to work until the 21st! I have been doing a little soldering on the scoreboard circuit, and I bought the wood for the display board.


I also ordered some hardware from McMaster-Carr. Some things that should be found anywhere aren't! That really pisses me off!


I hope to have more of an update soon. It's getting too close to Caiden's birthday!

'Pokes Smash Sooners

Well, that wasn't good! It was 44 to 10.

But the Sooners had a pretty good year. We were Number One for awhile. As it turned out, the sports writers were correct in down-rating us in mid-season.

I hope that the injured players heal, and we come back stronger next year.   Maybe ... maybe ...
