As most of you know, I've diagnosed myself as suffering from
night terrors. Last night I had a particularly dramatic one that I thought I would share with you. I had a dream that a little girl was running and going to jump out a window (a la
Hudsucker Proxy except that it was an open window). I, being the chivalrous man I am, decided to make a leap for the girl and keep her from going out the window. Apparently, as all this was going on in my head the rest of me decided to make a real life leap toward my own window (which is about 2-3 feet from my bed). Whilst I did not go out the window myself I did crash rather hard into the wall/radiator with my knee. Thankfully, my knee escaped this ordeal relatively unscathed, but I'm afraid I can't say the same about our poor radiator.
Consequently, if anyone has some tips on fixing radiators on the cheap I'm all ears.
Here are some pictures finally of me hosting the Grease-themed Mr. USU, an all male "beauty contest" which is kind of a big deal during Homecoming week. I, however, did not realize it was such a big deal until I was dressed as Sandra Dee in front of a sold-out crowd. It was a lot of fun, but I was relieved when it was over! *photographs by Laurbie, inc.
I'm posting some pictures I have of the family lately. Here's us on our hike to White Pine lake, the boys from Edward's Apple orchard, and me and the rents messing around at home. Love you all!
Well i got shipped down to Joplin Mo again and I had a chance to ride down in this little beauty. It was a little cramped in there but a 3.5 hour flight beats the pants off a ten hour drive! For most of the flight we were going about 135mph. We lost time cuz Obama was campaigning in Moline IL so they setup a huge no fly zone. It cost us 45 min going to around.
It was a smooth flight until the very end, the thermal updrafts in Joplin were throwing this little plane around when we came in for a landing! The hardest part was sittting perfectly still for the duration and trying to keep me feet off the pedals for the ailerons!
It was pretty sweet these diesels were screaming down the track shooting exhauts and flames like forty feet into the air! It was super loud so we were all wearing earplugs.
I think Jack's earplugs worked a little too well cuz he slept for a good portion of the event even though the stands were rattling from the sound of those machines.
