4 In the net pizza you get





Tonight my brother took me to the Sharks game. They played the Phoenix Coyotes and killed them 5 - 0. We started off the night at one of my favorite places Cluck U Chicken I spent a ton of nights eating there when I was younger. Then off to the game, John had some free tickets from his boss, the seats were great for free. This is one thing I miss from living in Reno, there is no professional sports. Again I want to thank John for taking me to the game. Danielle is jealous, but she couldn't take the day off of work tomorrow.

We attempted to go ride are dirt bikes today, but 10 minutes after this pic it begin to rain as we were loading the bikes. We settled on reorganizing the garage. Definitely not as fun. Will try again next weekend.

Back to Work...


I just wanted to do a post and let everyone know that I am doing much better after my accident. The cabinet door is lucky I didn't take a hammer to it.
Thank you to Jason for taking excellent care of me and being sure to wake me up every two hours!
The doctor has released me to drive and watch TV. Yeah! The students all spread rumors about me at school - how I was speaking Gibberish just before I went to Urgent Care, which could possibly be true. Anyway, my headache has subsided and although I am still a little loopy, for the most part I am back to normal. I mean, I am blond and all, so what is normal? Thank you for all of your thoughts and mean messages about how head injuries are nothing to fool around with. :-) Enjoy a pic of my CAT Scan...

Danielle is seeing stars


Danielle is seeing stars and not the one's from Hollywood. Yesterday at four Danielle was getting some almonds out of the cabinet when she drooped a few, she bent over to pick them up and whacked her head on the way up. She hit it right on the corner cutting her head and knocking here out for the count. I received a call at work from a dazed and confused Danielle, I rushed home,when I arrived her hair was full of blood, I couldn't see the cut due to all the blood so I had her jump in the shower, to wash her hair. After the shower the cut didn't look to bad. We decided to have her rest and see how she felt in the morning, I woke her every two hours to make sure she was doing okay. She got through the night with no problems, and decided to go to work. After two periods she started feeling nauseated and lost her breakfast, She got a sub to take over but it took two periods, when she was relived she went to urgent care, the doctor held her hostage and wouldn't let here leave until she had someone accompany her. I left worked and brought her to get a CatScan. During her test my aunt Ginger helped me shuttle the second car home. After the test the doctors said everything looked good and just wanted her to rest for the next two days with minimal stimulation. It was a little nerve racking but she is okay. Sorry for the drawn out version of the story.

Yard Work

That's all my weekend consist of. Saturday we went to Danielle's Grandma Sylvia's and helped here cut some bushes and get the yard ready for the winter. On Sunday we did the same at our house. There isn't much time left to get the house winterized. Hopefully we'll get outside to play next week.

The Roof Is Done


We are finally done. After three days of back breaking work Dave and I are done with Don's roof, The only positive was the weather was perfect for roofing. This pic the roof isn't fully done but close enough.

Halloween Party Yea






I don't no why adults pick one day a year to dress up like fools but we do? Our friends Mike & Lorraine had there annual costume party last night and we all attended, I didn't feel like dressing up, but you never want to be that one guy standing out like a sore thumb. It was a lot of fun, we got to catch up with a few friends we haven't seen in a while. Danielle was killing it in the games she got 3rd in the treasure hunt and Danielle and her mom Diane got 3rd in the costume contest. We had a lot of fun and I am sure we will due it again next year?

California Love Tour Stop 7

This was an event Porters hosted this weekend, it was really cold so we ended the event when the sun went down. We were supposed to show a snowboard video in the parking lot but it was to cold so everyone packed up and headed off to dinner. The comet below is an email from our sales rep.

"Porters welcomed the Nor Cal Program Crew with snow flurries upon our arrival. This made for a bone numbing set up at Porter’s. Without our superior Special Blend and Four Square outerwear we might have been forced to wait for the storm to break. But like clock work, as soon as we finished setting up the storm began to break. Customers of Porters braved the still freezing temps to make some stand out tees. However, it was owner John Chapman that through down on the best tee of the day. The staff at Porters killed it on the sales floor that Saturday, reporting a nice increase in business over last year. Team riders Travis Kennedy, and Niko Cioffi, showed their support by hanging out and raping with all present. Four of our Tahoe area rep riders also made it out to help make the event all the more successful. Thank you again guys. After an all hands on deck break down we all headed to Sushi for lots of laughs and tons of sake and Sapporos. Thank you to the best waiter ever, John"

I have paper cuts



This has been my last few nights. Danielle got a little backed up on grading so I had to come to the rescue and help since grades are due tomorrow. I will be doing the same thing tonight. Fun

Fall Colors






As the seasons change so do the colors around Tahoe. I have been driving past this beautiful grove of trees for a few weeks and I finally stopped to snap a few pics. Having good scenery makes the drive a little easier.
