Nothing Happening

A little note to say we are fine and nothing much has been going on. I have been making lists of all the magic cards in sets then I will figure out which ones I have and highlight them so I can get the ones I need. I was told about this web site that sells singles and I have been making my list from them. I have been looking at some of the prices and I found one that cost over 2400 dollars. My computer broke and we had it taken in to a store to see what the matter was they said that it was the mother board was fried. So I am writing from Cheryl's laptop.
We are Talking about getting me a laptop. I would love a 17" screen but We do not think I need one that big. I found a place to go to play my Magic game and met another guy that likes to fish. They get together every Friday and have a game. But I am not able to go on Fridays during the school year. Just during the summer, or on holidays. But the owner told m e that the Brandon store plays constructed on Sundays. so I might get to play there during the school year. Been playing the game "Rome -Total War-". I like games like that. You have to build armies and spies and diplomats. Everyone die (natural or during battles) and you have to replace them during the game. There is plagues and natural disasters to contend with. Riots and seiges that take place. All in all it is a good game.

Party Time


Went to a party the other weekend and had a good time it was a friends daughter graduation party and had a good time pictures to follow. They had a hula dancer and a fire dancer. Right now I am at my m-i-l house. I had to cook dinner on the grill. It was fun to use someone else grill. no pictures to follow. I went and played some Friday Night Magic at this store in Riverview. Lost 4 games and won 1. for a game that i had to find other cards from earlier sets. The next expansion set comes out on the 17Th but they are having a game with the new expansion on Saturday.

Fishing and Gators

So went fishing yesterday and saw a 3 foot gator. only meet 8 groups of people. Did not catch a thing, see that little log looking thing well that is the gator.
I got a nice size fish on the hook but alas he spit it back out. So I did not bring in a picture of a fish this time. Me and the wife have decided to start cooking outside on the grill. I am having a ball with it, so I might grill during the winter months. I love to grill.

I would like to cook more types of food on the grill. The only problem with that is that I only have a gas grill. with no handle. I do happen to have two gas burners to cook with. If I happen to get my hands on another dutch oven I can start cooking more soups. Hopefully can remember how to cook biscuits on top of the dutch oven. If I remember correctly all you do is put them on top of the lid. I need to get some more cast iron skillets.

I think that I almost have the wife convinced that I need a kayak to fish from. Now all I need to do is figure out how to fly fish.

Fishing



I took my nephew fishing yesterday, all I caught was this 5 inch blue gill. He did not catch anything. He did happen to crack my black widow cane pole. He is young and rambunctious He needs to learn to calm down and wait. Things do gome to those that wait but sometimes you need to go out and get them.

And I got cross stitch fabric, 3 books on cassette ("Hollowpoint" by Rob Reuland, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and the Goblet of Fire" both written by J.K. Rowling), an old fly rod needs new backing and leader and line, a new pill container, and a lion king thermos made by Aladdin. Remember the wife gave me my presents early and it was the last 3 books of the Twilight saga. Sunday I went to m-i-l house for a very good dinner and M-I-L  and M-I-LC gave me the movies Bedtime Stories, and Bolt, and a shirt that says "You Look Goofy Too". S-I-L gave me Twilight the movie. Then on Monday I went to the Veterans hospital because I am a disabled veteran and got a pair of moccasins to make for myself. And also today we went to Joann's and I got a new cross stitch pattern to make for the wife. F-I-L gave me a $50 gift card to Best Buy and I got 4 movies 12 Monkeys, Bedazzled, Just Married, and the new Psycho, I also got 2 new games 1 for the PC Rome Total War, and 1 for the Nintendo ds Age of Empires Mythologies and I still have a little under $8 left. So how was everyone and thier day it was so windy today that I thought that I was in Minot again. the one time I looked at a thermometer it said 70 and the wind brought it down.
