Only 5?

I may actually play hookie one day towards the end of the week! I'm also taking next weekend off!

 

My weekend consisted of last night. SO, the weather was good, huh?

 

Hi Ho,,,,, Hi Ho,,,,,,,

 

There might be 4x4 types that have the same ideal as ya'll, I'd get there early as possible, stake out your spot.

 

Well, it all depends on what you were doing, I spent the entire weekend working on projects outside, around the house, (except for the driving range with Nick), the difference is you were making money and I wasn't. Face it, work is work.

Morning Randy

 

Most definitley sarcasim on my part. During my stint with King County I worked at a rehab facility and saw first hand the manipulation of our legal and services systems by the clients that passed thru. On a number of occasions children were put in harms way because of the rules set by public agency managers. In this case a baby is dumped like a sack of garbage and by the time all is said and done those responsible will probably end up with a slap on the wrist. I agree we have a horrific problem with drugs and am very aware of the damage that can be done to a person, family and the community by people making bad choices. But personal choice and responsibility are what keep the majority of us from being in the situation of your sisters Ex.

Linda and I took in foster kids at the farm for years and it was very rewarding in most cases. What killed you was when a baby would come to us and stay for a year or two till the mother would "get her life together" and the State would give the child back to her. Like having one of your own taken from you and really hard on the child. We would try to keep track of these kids but often couldn't. Some of these we know ended in ruined lives for the child, a very few had reasonable outcomes.

What I feel should be the punishment for those responsible for throwing away this baby can't be published here. I have a great fear this child's troubles have just started.

 

Morning PSAR, little overcast but a promise of a bright and sunny afternoon. Corgi dog and I are back from our morning rounds, coffee is hot and all is good with the world. Boy! do I enjoy retirement! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Well Good Morning, We made it back from Spokane. Man what an adventure that was. When we got to Vantage, traffic was STOPPED. We looked up the hill, and we could see smoke so Regan got his map out and thought oh we can go around a different way. We got off the freeway and headed down stream, and came to a dead end. Went back to i-90 jumped back on the freeway as it was slowly moving now. Crawled up the hill towards Moses and there it was a motor home gone. All that was left was the metal. The side of the hill caught on fire too so they had 4 wheel drive fire trucks up on the hill, making sure it didn't restart. The also had about 5 water trucks soaking the hill. We finally get over to Spokane as the "party" was just starting. We had some good grub, visited with people and hit the sack. Saturday we left Spokane about noon. Justin was driving, and we had both of the quads standing up in the bed of his truck and we were pulling the jet ski's. We were just cruzing along with the traffic, and BAM there is a state patrol. he pulled along the side of us and pointed us to the side of the road. Justin gave him a wave and he took off to get another car. We pulled behind the cop and he went and talked to the other guy first. Came back to us and asked justin do you know what the speed limit is, Justin said 70, he then asked do you know how fast you were doing. Justin said 75, he said try 82. The cop says do you know that you are suppose to be doing 60. Justin said no (he was playing dumb). We gave him the insurance, registration, etc. and he came back acouple of minutes later and said i will do you a favor. he wrote justin a ticket for 82 in a 70 and told him to slow it down and reminded justin when he has a trailer (any type) to do the correct speed limit. I was laughing the whole time cuz right before we say the cop, he said i would love to live out here, i said why, he says cuz there's no cops. I said oh yes there is, just wait, and BAM there you go buddy.

Got to Moses about 2 rode the quads, and jet ski's for 4 hours packed up and headed home. The boys wanted a day to do stuff around the house. I drove from Moses and watched my speed as i didn't want a ticket either. LOL Had fun at moses, lots of people over there this past weekend. The water was like bath water.
