Another disappointing loss for a team of mine.  All I need now is for a bomb to land on the farm.  That ought to be the only thing that could make it worse other than an under performing Fantasy Team.  But, if Benjamin Watson does well and so does the Patriots D-fense it will make up for the Redsox loss.  Well, that’s mostly it for now, so I think I’ll say goodbye.

Yo! Whaadup? Uncle Bungy left at 6:30 with his new DP jersey (Dustin Pedroia Jersey). So now I’m stranded with a bunch of ladies and a big ole Grandpa. I got Madden Football for my Xbox 360 but that’s in Ocala. There’s no more funny Baseball loving, Sunflower seed chewing, really cool uncles. Uncle Mark left on Tuesday, and now Uncle Brian is gone too. I Really, really miss him already. I’m stranded in the mountains (Moses was in the desert). I’m going to have Abby and Ellie following me to see if we can go fishing (Moses had thousands wanting to get out of the desert). Also, I’m going to need some sort of miracle in order to be able to satisfy the girls (Moses did miracles in order to keep thousands of Israelites in order and satisfied). Uncle B should have returned the car and be on the train. I think maybe I’ll go play the game that he showed me in the extras section of bumpontherun.com. It’s fun!

Yo, peoples! Howzit goin’? It has been a little crazy today. The electricity went out for about two hours and then flickered off for a minute or two on two other occasions. It has been raining all day, weatherwise it has been the worst day this week. The water level in the pond went up several inches. Today I played pool with Uncle Brian and with Grandpa Jim. First, I beat Uncle Bungy in a best two out of three because of a lucky comeback in game one and he scratched while shooting at the eight in game three. Then I went up against Grandpa Jim and won both times against him because he scratched while shooting at the eight ball and then knocked the eight ball in. Then we (Uncle Brian and myself) were watching the Red sox game against the Indians when Grandpa Jim’s new box arrived. He asked Uncle B to set it up and I helped him. The access card didn’t work though, so it still isn’t operational. Then Grandpa Jim turned on a Presidential Debate so I got on to check my email. Then I got on to this site so that I could blog. The Sox game is back on and they are winning 10 - 3 in the top of the eighth.

Yesterday while watching Fox News with Grandpa Jim I heard that Bloggers have gone after Terrorists and are shutting down websites and destroying communication systems that Terrorists use. I think I’d like to try that some time. They talked with this one guy who had shut down around 1,000 sites in about 6 years.

I had an incredible moment this morning. I was the first one up and I went to the kitchen to get breakfast. When I had finished I gave the cat her food and water. Then I heard a noise outside and recognized it as Hannah and Utah barking. I opened the door and went out to the porch. I looked down the road and there was a moose with big honkin’ antler thingees on top of his head. I just stood there and watched as he turned around and walked back down the road. I came back in and Grandpa Jim came out a little later and when I told him his reply was, “I wonder if I let the stallion out if he’d fight the moose and who would win.” Mema asked him why the stallion would attack and Grandpa Jim replied, “The stallion would think that it was threatening his territory and would defend it and his mares.” I was the only one who saw the moose. That fellow was huge. I’ve got to go deal with an amassing army of flies.

I just played three pool games with Grandpa Jim and he killed me all three times. I thought that I was decent and might win one, not a chance! He is a killer. I didn’t stand a chance against him and he’s 60! I think I’ll practice some with Uncle Brian when he arrives tonight. Aunt Joan and Cousin Owen left later than expected so they’ll arrive in a couple of hours.

Today was really tiring. I helped clean stalls and I fished. I cleaned stalls for a long time and had a fairly good time. Next Grandpa Jim taught me on gun safety and then I shot the BB Gun for a while. I fished with the girls for a while afterwards and Abby almost caught Ellie several times. Then I went out in the rowboat with Abby, that was kind of difficult for me to do. Then we dragged Ellie out too (Oh yeah, let’s just get things more hectic out there.) We survived and had some delicious steak for dinner. It was really good and we had sweet potatoes and butternut squash with it. Uncle Brian arrives tomorrow night and Aunt Joan and Owen arrive in the early afternoon. Everyone else arrives tomorrow. I may not be able to blog for a few days.

I got up too early yesterday. I was up at 3:00 am. I couldn’t sleep, and it was really cold. When I finally got up, I went and walked up the mountain and hiked around the farm. yesterday was the basic first day that you would have on vacation, doing some stuff but not a lot.

Today I hiked and went fishing. I still haven’t had lunch and it’s after 2:00! Continue Reading »

We made it succesfully to New Hampshire! It was hectic. We left our house at 10 am and arrived at the airport at 12:30. had lunch at 1:10 and boarded the plane at 1:30. Takeoff was about fifteen minutes later and we flew towards Boston. We landed maybe around 4:00? Dinner at 6:00 I think in Concord after a while of driving. Then we drove on and arrived at the farm maybe around 9:30. My back is terribly sore. I hope the Patriots do well for my father’s fantasy team (I’m his sports counseler). We have the game on here in the background.
