silly daddy...

Daddy decided that he's gonna do a spartan race this Saturday after my neighbor had done a different one last year called the Tough Mudder. The Spartan Race is

Obstacle Racing at its Toughest! You thought mud runs and trail races were tough?

Spartan Race™, the global leader in Obstacle Racing since 2005, was designed by seven insane ultra athletes and a Royal Marine. If you have tried trail races, mud runs, tough mudder runs, or a warrior dash, it's time to step up to a brutal Spartan Race obstacle course. You can tackle a Spartan Sprint, a Super Spartan, maybe even attempt a brutal Spartan Beast, but only a few of you will have the heart to graduate up to our Death Race; the world championship of obstacle racing, and an endurance race like NO other. Are you unbreakable?

Why Spartan? Because the Spartans were tough as nails. Why race our obstacle course races? Because we all thrive under pressure, survival of the fittest. Our goal is simple... to get you off your couch, throw you in the mud & trails, and feed you one tough endurance event day that will be the adrenalin rush of your life.

An obstacle course race is designed to test your resilience, strength, stamina, quick decision making skills, and ability to laugh in the face of adversity. We want to own obstacle racing and our unique obstacle course trail races will demand every ounce of your strength, ingenuity, and animal instinct.

You will understand at the finish line...


YIKES!! Wish me luck!

learning to fly...

At a company outing, the little guy got his hands on a frisbee and practiced throwing. This was at Francis Farm in Rehoboth, MA.  There were plenty of things to do there as well as a buffet of burgers, chicken, and dogs and the normal fixings. Normal BBQ food, nothing special. Daddy is gonna make some good burgers soon and the grill and maybe one of these times this little guy will try it. He loves his hotdogs however!!

The summer is winding down, the weather getting cooler and we are expecting some heavy rain and wind from the hurricane that is churning in the atlantic, currently over the Caribbean Islands. I like a good storm if we aren't expecting any damage! You can always find the latest hurricane information form the National Hurricane Center and see what else we can expect as the season gets going.  I've always been a weather buff , even took a meteorology course in college. Learned a few things from that.  Speaking of school , like a said before CJ is starting next week and we need to get to the store and stock up on supplies  Below are the major things I need to most likely get him before he starts. Walmart really does have some great  prices on this stuff.

The only thing that is the big money item is the TI 84 graphing calulator! I think I'm going to look on Ebay again for this thing.

Gotta go figure out dinner now for the family and wait for the wife to bring home the little guy. You may bet a picture of what's cookin!!!
