So, Ed. Are your daughters going to be there?

Because they might "get lost" and have to stay with me until they can find their way home.

Eh, then stubborn part is more prevalent then the dizziness lol.
I know I need to just dont have the time for it, the kids of the world need ice and who am I to say no to them.


On another note, some piece of sh** stuck a screw driver in my pass key whole and broke it. They didnt take anything that I know of but I gotta cancel my checks at the bank tomorrow just in case. Anyone know how much a whole new door handle assembly will cost/ how long will to take to replace. Im going to an Irish pub soon to blow off some steam.

We have problems on our lake (Lake Conroe) with drunks and people driving too fast. The south end has gotten so bad that we rarely ride there anymore. We now ride at the north end but it has it's own set of challenges, namely, alligators.

Yes, gators. I've seen three of them, one fairly close to us at a launch.

This picture was taken on Lake Conroe. Look closely at the object floating there:



Here's an aerial of the lake itself. We live about a mile from the boat launch:
