Hello with Jello,
Speaking of jello, did you know that egg yolks, when left on the counter
for 2 days, turn into yellow jello. And into something a bit less
appealing after 4+ days.
We had nice visits from both brother Mal and N/Z cousins Crystal and
Hedi Gates. Malcolm dropped by for an overnight stay on his way to a
conference and we drove and walked around some of his old haunts. C&H
hitched a ride back with Laurie the end of last week, then drove back
with her on her way to Texas early this week. On their way out, they
hit a raccoon at 1 am in the morning about 3 hours north of here. Then,
after patching up the car, they hit a deer 6 minutes later. That they
could not patch. So she is driving an insurance sponsored rental while
her Vibe gets fixed. We (mostly Zach) introduced C&H to not only Roch,
but also the mighty Mississippi, Wisconsin, paint balls, giant bubble
blowing, 1/4 mile racing, and lots of other sports car stuff.
Nick and I started jogging a couple weeks ago. Usually around the
neighborhood in the evening. Nothing monster serious, just 1/2 hour
tours of the neighborhood. I thought I'd have to wait up for him, but
seems that boy has been sprinting around campus, as it is he who waits
for me.
But for once (since junior high) the tables have turned in our chess
tournament! I am the current leader at 7 wins, 6 losses, and 2 ties.
Lots of pics this week.
Pic 1: Nick proving that you can indeed flip 2 pancakes at once. I'll
spare you the picture of me proving you can not flip 3 pancakes at once.
Pic 2: The Gates girls proving you can fit 2 (trim) girls in one RX8
back seat. 5 of us went to the race track in my 4 seater.
Pic 3: Zack about to set the days best time in the Rex. He got 15.5
seconds, beating my 15.6.
Pic 4: Zack trying to man handle 2 Montana cowgirls. Not possible.
Pic 5: Zack and cousins built that box to ship his DeSol engine off to
California for uber engine work.
Pic 6: This is what you get when you ignite a bunch of bubbles filled
with propane gas.
Pic 7: Chefs Z&J, making a nummy pasta dinner.
Pic 8: Nick starting to dig a hole. He digs a bit each morning before
we head to IBM.
Pic 9: Nick and I got back from jogging Friday and found the voice of
Zack coming from the hole. That boy can dig. After 1-2 hours, he was
down past 8 feet!
Don't ask me what the hole is for. I'm simply the cameraman.
