Sunday already?

Time's fun when you're having flies, right? It has been a hectic week around these parts but it's all been good and I don't even have all the guns cleaned yet!

Friday was the first guys day out this weekend. I went with Kenny and Jim to the International Sportsman's Expo where Kenny made friends with every Alaskan fishing outfitter, trying to pick out which one might be our choice for a planned fishing trip in 2010. Kenny took over 1 1/2 hours to move up just the first aisle of the outfitters booths and I thought we might not make it out of there before the place closed! While he queried every outfitter I checked out boats and all the other fun stuff to see, mostly boats, even though I was on strict orders from the BSU not to buy anything! We really did have a grand time, especially when we met up with my buddy Rob who is takaing the three of us fishing at Flaming Gorge later in May. Rob knew I was bringing a 3rd guy on the trip but he didn't know until we met at the show that Jim was a buddy of 30+ years from his wife's side of the family! It was like old home week once the connection was established and we spent quite a long time (and numerous dollars) at Rocky Mountain Tackle's booth.

Saturday was another guy's day out, this time with 2 other friends of Kenny's and Kenny and me making a trip to the desert for some shooting. We took a short walk looking for jackrabbits but they were all of in some other county so we spent a few pleasant hours burning gunpowder on helpless paper targets and some bad tasting soda that one of the guys brought just for the fun of seeing soda cans explode. And I got home just in time enough to discover that our washing machine is going Tango Uniform. The BSU told me it was refusing to spin and smelling and clicking so it seems it might be time to replace it. We did figure out we bought it either in 1995 or 1996, so maybe it is time.

And in spite of my general dislike for Best Buy, after a bit of online price and customer satisfaction researching, it seems like the best choice I can find right now is from Best Buy. I'm thinking we are going to switch both the washer and dryer to LG frontloaders like this one. I especially like this washer because of the 89 people that bought it and then took the time to write a satisfaction report, 85 people would recommend it to their friends. That seems like pretty high satisfaction for this machine so it may be coming to our house pretty soon.

We got to see the expectant mother of our next grandbaby today for a couple hours and she is doing just fine. Her and her mom have been busy decorating a bedroom and it is filled with all types of jungle animals so it is very cute. The baby is due in the middle of May and right now all seems to be going smoothly.

So it has been a really nice weekend. We saw the worst movie ever- Miss March last night and I won't dignify it by providing a link. I'll just tell you that it is so bad that whoever thought that the making the movie was a good idea should be publicly flogged for giving it the ok. It is that bad!
