So, its been brought to my attention that I havent been around as much lately, so I thought I would drop in and say hello and update folks with the latest and greatest.
1- 40 some odd days left and Sandi will be done and graduated and homeward bound, cannot wait!
2- Picked her up last weekend to bring her home for the weekend to catch a Welcome Home From Overseas Party for one of my best friends, I ended up hitting a deer at 75 mph at 2:00 am, wife, myself, a friend, and all three kids in the minivan with us. No injuries, but totaled the van. Insurance is taking care of us, but sucks having to replace the vehicle again.
3- Had a bit of medical issue with meds im taking, got it straightened out hopefully.
4- finally got the laptop fixed from where the son had jumped on it and shattered the screen. Did a DIY screen replacement, was a lot simpler than I thought it would be.
5- Power went out the day after our friends welcome home party in the entire town, apparently a squirrel smoked a major transformer in a particularly important junction. I smiled when I heard the news, since I didnt need to do anything. So I decided to go out on the town and see how folks were reacting. WalMart was shut down, as was all the grocery stores. However other small mom/pop stores were open. Gas station near us was open, but on a cash/check basis. Saw lots of ice, and interestingly enough, charcoal being sold. Apparently most folks decided to bbq since there was no way electric ranges were working.
6- Did a radio interview in regards to prepping, gave the forum here a plug on it, not sure when the interview will air, but will be given a heads up when it does.
And finally...
7- Got into it with a neighbor lady, unbeknownst to me, apparently our GSD had gotten out and pooped in her yard. Made her mad enough to stop and confront our babysitter in the middle of the street while she was driving away. Then she came over to my house, onto our wraparound porch up to the gate and started screaming at my kids. They ran into the house yelling for me, and of course I come out wondering Wha-Da-Fuq is going on. this lady (Im using this term loosely) proceeds to to yell and scream at me and tries to enter via the gate on the side of the porch, as I stop her, she then threatens to shoot my dog, then threatens to shoot my kids, then threatens to shoot me. Of course I had a pistol on me at the time, and fortunately enough for me, as soon as she started yelling, I had hit 911 on my phone, so was holding my phone while connected to 911 dispatch. So when she threatened to shoot me, I proceeded to order her off of the porch and off of the property. As she kept attempting to enter my gate (its only 4 foot tall) I finally told her, to leave, or I would consider her a threat to myself and my family and would defend myself accordingly. She started screaming "what.... you got a gun?!?!? Ive got a gun and I will shoot all of you, including your fucking dog!!!" So at that point, I pulled my CCW out and held it at low ready and ordered her to put her hands up and drop to her knees. She saw I had a gun and ran screaming from the porch saying she was going to call the police because I pointed a gun at her. Right about now, the sheriffs deputy comes over the hill lights flashing and pulls up to her running down the road. He came up behind her, so she didnt see him coming. Shes goes racing up to him screaming that a crazy man pointed a gun at her and the deputy needs to arrest him. Well, imagine her surprise when he puts her at gunpoint and proned her out on the ground in front of the car. She denied ever saying anything, however after some probing by the deputy, he explained to her that everything was recorded at 911 dispatch and he listened to it as he was responding. Needless to say, she ended up coming clean and admitting to everything. Deputy asked me what I wanted to do... well, what I wanted to do was put her ass in jail after a long beating with a firehose. But after its all said and done, I will still have to live with her being my neighbor....So I asked the deputy if he could have a very extremely harsh talk with her and her husband to which he did. Well, since then, shes taken her fight to calling the county animal control anonymously making continual complaints about the dogs, which I have to deal with. The Animal Control ended up talking to the deputy and he straightened them out about the issue so they actually know who is making the complaints now.
Yea, its been an interesting past few months.
So how have all of you been?
