Twins win!!!! I had the pleasure of hanging out with a few friends and my Dad at a great Twins game last night. A good time was had by all. Here is a good shot of our seats.
Not too shabby huh?
It was kind a long day for everyone. We used ipastor's vangina because we could get everyone in it. Thanks again, man! I still get comp tickets from the radio station I used to work at. So I brought ipastor, daughter of ipastor, my no account brother in law, Craig, and my Dad. Here is a picture of no account brother in law (said with love, of course), Me, and my Dad. Striking family resemblance between me and Dad, huh? (On a side note the most white trash thing heard this last Christmas was from my half sister when after Dad and I were done taking a picture together, she said in her best newfound North Carolina accent, "Sure can tell you two are related. Y'all got the same teeth missing and everything!" True story.

After the game, ipastor, daughter, and I left the Stadium and ended up losing the rest of the gang for about five minutes. Just enough time to call their cell phone and no luck, except for getting one daughter who probably still thinks her father is still lost in a strip club. Sorry... I couldnt help myself. Anyway, the Twins are doing fairly decent so far this year. Ya win some, ya lose some. I am just happy to have gotten to taste a Famous Dave's dog again this year! It's like six pounds of meat! WOW! freakin awesome! It's also 6 bucks, but some things are worth it!

Well, thats it for now. Have a great day. Your friend in left field, Cosmic Junkie

Hey, ya darn kids, Happy Easter to ya! I hope all is well. My weekend went pretty well. Tings were starting out kinda rocky on Friday. I was driving home after work and getting groceries, and there was some pretty clear clanging under the hood of the Ranger, so I stopped into the my mechanics who lives right before my turn off to go home. After getting my Jeep out of the shop and back on the road just a few days before, I felt a little skiddish about stopping in again for a rousing game of "guess that death rattle" and it was almost a coin toss if I should just go home instead. Well, it was a goood call, because we were both able to witness the death of the alternator. Since they wanted a couple hundred for a rebuilt and the truck itself is worth only a few hundred more, it became apparent that I would just pick one up at the junkyard and slap it on on Monday. So I called Boss and he picked me up and brought me home. And this stupid cold and cough just keeps hanging on. Crap. Anyway, Saturday morning I started out for the morning with the Jeep, picked up my tools out of the defunct truck, got some gas and the stupid Jeep wouldnt start again at the gas station. After a jump start from a buddy I was back on the road. Once again, friends came through! I went to check out the work needed on a friends house he is trying to sell, and it was too cold to do any sealing so I went and picked up a new alternator at the junkyard. I stopped in to see my grandpa at the nursing home but he was at lunch, so I visited with my uncle and Grandma. Then it was on to the next town to see my sister and her family and help them move a few loads of stuff to their new house. Then it was on the road for another hour to back home. Thank God today was just Church and Easter dinner at a friends house. Overall, not a bad weekend. Hope yours was good also! have a nice day!
