A good weekend

I just had an interesting weekend. I got to go to the Texas vs. Oklahoma game, ridiculous rivalry, but it was a great game. It was actually pretty cool because the ticket to the game got you into the state fair also. So of course we rode the Farris wheel.... three 28 year old guys rode the Farris wheel together.....odd. That's the Cotton Bowl in the background....where the game was played.



Travis and Ernie both wore orange because they are Longhorn fans and I wore white so I could say I cheered for the winning team. We went to the game and yelled like fans do and it was a great game.





After the game we wandered around the fair like all the people do......80000 people do. It was packed. Then we got the bright idea to strap ourselves into a giant ball that shoots you straight up into the air at 100 mph and 5 Gs. That was fun too.




If you listen closely, under the song saying I won't live to see tomorrow, you can hear me telling Ernie get his hands off the handles.....he never did. The screams you hear are us also.







Good times!

Interesting

I got to go watch Anson play soccer today and let me tell you....it was much different than when I played. Organized, uniforms, positions everything.

I also found out that for Rockdale's homecoming they are playing Madisonville, my two high schools playing each other. I wish I would have had that opportunity when I was playing, but it would have been interesting.

Might go to that game.

Spare time

It's been nice to have some time off. I am trying to waste time till mom and pop get here so we can get some work done that I'm sure needs doing.

I have been going to play golf, going to the shooting range, and going fishing.

Last night we were fishing and Rudy had his pole tied up, because they didn't any holders, and I was next to it changing lures. Right then I saw the pole bend then jump into the water. It stopped just off the pier, so I cast my line out there trying to catch it with my hook.

I couldn't get it. I turned around to one of the other guys to see if he had a good lure that might have bigger hooks, but when I turned around it was gone. Rudy was heart broken....I thought it was kinda funny.

So someone will quite possibly catch a fish that might already be caught. It was a nice pole.
