Got an Air Brushed Jewel on my desktop


So I got this air brushed picture of Jewel (the singer) on my desk top. She's smokin' hot. I understand the whole digital correction, but wow, some dude that went to years and years of air brush school, and poof! I got a hot jewel on my desk top. America is grand. I also got some junk at the auction off of 5600 West on Saturday. By far the most fun I have had in... that isn't true. I did have moments of fun bidding out old ladies for trinkets. Stompin' on old ladies, what a true non steroid game that is. Danny and Rob went and I sort of butted myself in and went. Rob was smart enough to suggest breakfast at McDonald's (by far the only reason they are in business). I was hoping to get some bargain buy that would just baffle the mind but that truly didn't come without a price. I bid on a busted air compressor, I paid $50.00 dollars it will need possibly $5.00 to get it to work. A new air compressor of similar size is $48.00 dollars. You do the math. The next item is a couch. I thought this would be a grand steal of the day. A leather and micro-fiber combination, which would easily sell for $500.00. My winning bid, $30.00 bucks, but I figure I will have to put a few hours into fixing the frame and cost of supplies makes my couch a $100.00 "project". The last item was sort of a surprise. I paid $30.00 dollars for a new in the box camcorder, 16 mega pixel camera, and mp3 player. It is by far the deal that made strapping that couch into a packed 4Runner, 55 mph down I-80, and a worried wife all worth it.

I also got a couple of kitchen chairs for $10 bucks. I lost a fabric bid to a Relief Society councilor but she took pity on me and let me buy 28 yards from her for $10 bucks. That was christian. Thanks Rob and Danny for some fun times.

SUPER "RIP-OFF" Bowl

Does anyone else feel cheated? Ben Hamburger didn't appear in the game until the last minute, Why wasn't James Harrison ejected? ... He's a great player, but his cheap shot on Aaron Francisco in the fourth quarter was totally inexcusable. Cardinal defence apparently couldn't do anything without a flag. The game just left the impression that the NFL is more concerned about its business aspect, tied with endorsements and corporate money. Citi Bank spent 1 million of its bail-out fund to sponsor the Super Bowl. It's things of that nature that take any fun out of the sport. It's dirty and not a true sport when money seems to rule the out come. I wonder what incentives the ref's got for making such a spectacle. I realize that this is late, but worth it right? What about Pres. Obama lettin' all the private business in America get a hand on 780 billion does that chap anyone else's hide? Anyway Country Jam is coming in June to Grand Junction Colorado and I want to go hang with the country hippies sounds like fun huh. I am ready for the spring to arrive, not so much about the hot days of summer but spring would be great. In March I hope to take our family to Moab and get lost for a few days. There is a great place that James and Heather showed us years ago at a KOA with cabins for relatively cheap. Moab always amazes me. Anyway I am looking forward to some good times this spring and looking forward to welcoming the warmer weather.
