Trying to be healthy

Went to lunch with my kiddo who for some reason loves miso soup and fried rice with chicken and veggies. She hasn't stepped up to sushi, but we have discovered that she loves shrimp and crab, yet is allergic to both.

This is her eating her soup.







And this is my salad... she was not happy that she couldn't eat the crab on my salad. :teeth

How fucking crazy is this?!

So the above link is a story about this couple that met someone, hung out with them, then brutally murdered that man with a machete. From what the news says, she hacked him while he was kicking the shit out of him. That was in San Antonio I believe. They somehow ended up on SPI, and by some silly coincidence at the same campground where we had our 2nd Analversary ICBINMH3 Hash. When I arrived, these trolls were already hanging about and I could tell they were not exaclty hashers, but were not being run off. They spent all of Friday night hanging around, having a good time, enjoying keg beer and the company of good hashers.

Saturday I had to drive back to McAllen for the food and for some other things I had to do and I saw this couple in Port Isabel both when I was leaving and upon return to the Island.

That evening they were hanging around the hash again and even enjoying tippy cup as they had the night before. Only this time they had brought their own beer as they were told that the hash was a paid event. These two never gave anyone any trouble that I can recall or think of. They just hung out, drank beer and got drunk.

So when Guam calls me today and asks me if I remembered the Trolls from the Hash, I was like "yeah, what about them?" He tells me, "Dude, they were arrested for murder" and I was a bit in shock and then started doing all the what ifs and what not. Just a good thing that it turned out that they were not in the mood to machete anyone to death.

ONON,
Dude!





And by "these two", I do NOT mean Joto-Cicleta and Toe Jam, I mean the two on the Far left

2nd Analversary

Although this weekends Hash was damn near wrecked due to a last moment change in venue, I think Butter Bling and the other, more active ICBINMH3ers pulled off one hell of a weekend.

We had a total of 36 out of towners and I think 8 locals at SPI for a great time had by all.

Next year we will certainly have more than just plan B, I think we'll go to at least plan F to make sure we don't scramble as much as we did this weekend.

Had a new naming this weekend. Our friend from Mexico who has been hashing for a while now and was one of the original masked men at TXIH (yr? glf?) was named Joto-cicleta (Homo-Cycle). Good times

I'll try to get some more fotos as I was too busy to take that many.

BBQing

Sitting outside in Allen's backyard, grillin up some dead cow and pig, telling tall tales and lies of course. Talking Allen into coming out to the Hash this weekend for our 2nd Analversary and he just agreed that he would even though he works the next 5 days. No worries, he can come out after work and make it to work in the morning.

Butter Bling is all whiney cuz I'm on the computer... I think he has LapTop envy. That and Sprint Wireless card envy. HA!!!

The night has a cool breeze to it which is odd for this part of the country, but we'll take it anytime we can get it.

Damn that food is awesome.

More to come... standby

Took the word verification off for those that are sensitive and have trouble spelling.


Yeah, that means you cake eater

Its Tuesday and I need to get to the school. Have a lot of projects I'm working on right now and hopefully things will come through and I can be more comfortable in my life.

This weekend we laid some friends to rest and now that there has been closure, its time to move on and honor their memory.

You will be missed guys.

Turns out that its 3 after all...

I hadn't heard the first name of the pilot that went down last night, and the spelling and my pronounciation of it were off. Turns out that it was Robert Goss, I man I knew and flew with on several occasions.... so alas, I've lost another 3 friends.... sucks.

Sucks that I quit smoking 8 months ago, I'd like one right about now. Wouldn't fix anything, but it sure would be kinda justified. or not.

A bitter sweet night last night

So I finally decided to go back to shooting as I'd been telling myself I would for a very long time now. Shot USPSA match and came in 5th place out of 14 shooters. Not bad for not having competed in about 3-4 yrs. First round didn't go all that well as I had several misses but the hits were dead on.

That was sweet...

Bitterness struck as I was having dinner later that evening. I got a text message that the news was reporting an air ambulance had crashed into the South Padre Island bay. I was very concerned as I have friends that work there. I started making some calls. Decided to call my friend Raul to see if he had any details... turns out that it was him and another one of my friends that were the victims of this crash.

10 yrs ago, on June 5 of 1998, we lost 3 friends in a helicopter crash with the same company.
Carlos de la Fuente RN/EMTP Brenda Leinweber EMTP and Tony Martinez Pilot were lost in a senseless wreck that never should have happened.

Today I mourn the loss of two more friends to the same fate...

RIP Raul Garcia
RIP Mike Sanchez

I did not know the pilot, but my thoughts are with his family.

How could I not mention...

This weekend was a very good weekend. I got to spend the ENTIRE weekend with my amazing daughter Natasha. Shes been a little under the weather with a cough and what not, but its amazing to see that she never loses her smile and always gives ME a reason to smile no matter what.

We have found that she now LOVES going to the public library and going through all the books that are there for her.

First time....

Well here we go, have no idea what to say/write as I've not done before so I'll just ramble since I'm so good at saying a lot without saying much... ahaha. Or I could follow The Duke's advice and "Talk low, Talk slow, and don't say too much"

Well, lets see where this leads us.

Worked out today, hadn't done that in a while and my fatass is feeling it. Hopefully, with continued workouts, it will get better. We'll see.
