Waffles

Tim Fish Here. My wife is AWESOME!!!! She purchased a Belgian Waffle maker and took over an hour and a half to make them from SCRATCH!! I went into a Belgian Waffle coma after eating 3 of them. It took me two days to come completely out of it. Those were the best waffles in the history of the human race, and I ate them. I hope to have another induced coma next weekend too. Mmmmm...

Cats, Bats, and Ants

Tim Fish Here. I thought I should write something...Anything. I enjoy watching our cat, Gabby. Right now we have just one lamp on, while Cynthia and I sit next to one another on the love seat. Both of us are clicking away on our computers. She's looking at facebook and instant messaging friends, and I'm doing this. Our cat is sitting on the back of the couch watching small insects fly around the lamp. Every now and then she'll take a swipe at one of them...Ah life is good.

I went out in the garage for a few minutes this evening and tinkered around on my new work bench. I will be purchasing some more materials soon, so that I can build some bat houses. I want to give one to my daughter-in-law, who is an organic farmer, growing stuff that people put on food. (Not food, but stuff you put on food) I may also give one to Cynthia's daughter, and make one for us as well. We sit out in the back yard at dusk and I think it would be fun to watch the bats come out at night. Each bat can eat up to 1000 mosquitoes per night. Mmmm.. Did you know that Fire Ants eat chiggers? I wonder if I could build an ant house, so that ants would come and eat them. Perhaps just put out a picnic for them....

The Texas heat wave continues, and it's been reported to me that we've not had any rain now for the entire month of June. Yet, for some reason, my grass continues to grow....Conspiracy? I report, You Decide.

Major Awards, 6 Flags and Poop Smears

Tim Fish Here. It's Here! It's Here! My major award!!! My 19" LCD HD TV from KONE for my 25 years of exemplary service!! Woo Hoo!!! It's beautiful, ooooooo. My first program was FOX News of course. Now I can't wait for my 30 year award. What will it be? What will it be?

The Fishes went to Six Flags over Texas on Saturday. I went with much anticipation, expecting to get my roller coaster groove on. Wellll...the old man just can't seem to ride em like he used to. I hate to admit it, but they gave me motion sickness. This may be the last trip to an amusement park, sadly. Also, It was HOT, How Hot? Damn Hot!

We also discovered a new standard for making major purchases. Cynthia was looking at puppies the other day, and once she realized that it was covered in poop, she didn't want it. So... from now on, if there is a purchase we are thinking about, we go to the store and smear dog poop on it. If we're willing to clean it off, then we'll buy it. What a great idea!! I'm going to patent it. Every time someone smears poop on a new big screen t.v. or new car, I'll get a royalty check!! I'll be rich!

Wait for it.....

Tim Fish here. It's been an eventful week. I received a "major award" for 25 years of service to KONE Inc. My employer feels that I (Tim Fish) am a valued employee!! Woo Hoo!! They took me out to lunch and gave me a certificate (suitable for framing) and a gift!! Yes, a gift!! I got to pick from a plethera of high quality awards. I picked...... wait for it...... a 20 inch LCD flat screen t.v. with a DVD player built in. WWWOOOOOO

This evening we wasted two hours of our valuable time by watching a lousy movie called.....wait for it.....Night at the Smithsonian. I don't recommend it.

This week I built some shelves for the garage and cleaned it up!!! In the former mess I found.....wait for it.....my home made ice cream freezer!!! Woo Hoo!! My mom has THE BEST recipe for home made ice cream. I need to write it down so that I don't have to keep calling every few years and asking for it. Have I told you that I love home made ice cream? Day old ice cream is the best.
