Bike Before heading out.

Bike Before heading out., originally uploaded by hearsedrv.

I built a pedal bike for Burning Man. I knew from the year before that a bike is a must have item. Since Katy was going with me I decided to build a 2 person car type bike. I found plans to this one online. Its made of pvc pipe.

I didnt think it would last to long. It creaked and just didnt fell real stable. I had the kids test drive it in the neighborhood and it broke just about every time they went out in it. I would improve whatever broke but was still nervous.

suprisingly, it not only held together but others in our camp borrowed it and had no issues. I mean if stoned, drunk people can take it out and have a blast on it then its pretty bad A! (me and katy drove it carefully, were I know the ones that borrowed it were not all together sobber nor careful.)

For next year I am making a bunch of bikes, out of metal. stay tuned for more! One is already done, a tall bike scroll down to see it.

later in the week

Companies are stupid, its not Wal-Marts fault

Went to Albertsons grocery store in Crowley Tx. yesterday for there 8 hour sale.

They spent thousands of dollars to bring people into the store. Basically for those that dont know, they have whats called loss leaders, items there selling at a loss in order to suck you into the store were you will have a pleasant experience buy other items and come back and spend money on high profit items.

So lets see...Wal-mart..no customer service, packed stores, they act like they dont give a damn about you...but there dirt cheap.

Albertsons, customer service...friendly checkers, someone to carry your groceries to your car... but higher prices..

You really cant compete head to head with wal-mart prices, you have to offer something better. Its so damn simple but you have guys with MBA'S that cant figure it out.

So I get in line with my on sale crap behind a lady who I would guess was 78 years old. Very frail, took her a bit to unload her cart onto the check out belt (I helped a little with the heavy items). She didnt know why it was so busy, this other older lady explained about the 8 hour sale. Ohh she says, normally its not like this.

so this lady asks for paper sacks and actually wrote a check. That should tell you a little more about her age. The punk ass worthless checker didnt even acknowledge her. that piece of garbage didnt notice a damn thing about her.

So she pays and has a full cart of groceries in paper sacks, did that punk call for a carry out? did any of the 3 or 4 carry out kids offer or ask if she needed help? Nope not a one did.
so she start pushing her cart all the way down past every check out (we were at one end she parked out the other) I watched her go the entire store and NOT ONE TIME DID SOMEONE OFFER TO HELP. Now I know some dont want help and I understand but no one even asked!

So my small purchase is done as she is walking out the store..(give you an idea, took her 5 minutes to push thru all the people at her slow rate) I stop this store manager lady and I ask

"Do yall supplie carry out service?" as the carry out kids are horsing around with the checkers.

she says "Yes sir we do!"

what I said next cant not be written here, but lets say the manager ran full speed to catch up with the lady and loaded her groceries in her car.

Now before someone trys to make me mad, yea I could have offered to help somehow. and would have if I wasnt trying to pay for my groceries. And at other times when I can I will. But thats not the point. The point is Albertsons spent thousands to get you in the store but treat you no better than Wal-Mart!

ALBERTSONS ARE YOU STUPID OR WHAT? YOU HAVE NOTHING TO OFFER OVER WAL-MART EXCEPT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND YESTERDAY NOT EVEN THAT!

I am easing up on wal-mart, hell its not there fault the rest of the world is stupid, there just smarter than you!

Now let me get this straight mrs. Dr. lady

Brother is going to love this?

so Dr. sis makes a post Here

so, a mom, trying to do what she thinks best for her kids spends the night in a parking lot in order to try and inroll them into what she believes will be the best opportunity for them. and her brother is gonna say something rude or mean?

How in the holy h e double hockey sticks (thats for you mcpan) can someone give someone else a hard time for spending there own time and energy to try and achive this?

Now if you had paid someone to stand in line for you, yea I would say your a worthless piece of garbage. But no you stood out all night and tried to get your kids into what you believe is a better school.

humm, I might not agree about private and public schools (and Im not gonna say either) but I can never fault a parent for sacraficing there time and energy in what they believe will benefit there child. Why the hell else would we have kids if we were not willing to do this?

so yea bro loves it but not the way you think and he was able to turn it into something rude and mean! HA!

oh and "I see your point but still think your stupid!" I love that shirt!

you make it too easy

So its only Feb but…

Hold that thought.

I have 7 sisters and 6 brothers…you would think that it would be hard to name the dumbest one each year.. (and I include myself in all calculations)

Year before last I won the award, since I started building a pool in a flood year, broke my foot and numerous small things. It happens.

Last year it went to the lawyer chick. She passes the law bar thing and then moves to a city and gets hit with a hurricane. It happens.

But this year, now take in this, its only February but Dr chick has set the bar so low that it would take a vice president shooting to be any dumber. (speaking of which, I now wear body armor and have put a republicans are GOD sticker on my car, I don’t want to get accidentally shot!)

This girl who went to college for what 10 years? And is held in high regard by the general public has done more dumb things in 2 months than most people do in 10 years. (except them stupid democrats who are all about love and peace, they should all be taken bird hunting with the VP! ((that is for GW and the NSA so when they read my blog they know I am a GOD fearing IRAQ killing blood thirsty kill em all and let god sort em out type of guy))

Poor DR. she gets laser surgery and her eyeballs fall out. Then goes on a helo ride and gets sick knowing good and well she will. (and she prescribed something for pop so he didn’t get sick. So she knows there is stuff out there to help just doesn’t take it for herself)

“While in Vegas we played a little black jack and watched a hilarious hypnosis show. Then we went on a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon. Beautiful! But halfway there I got air sick. Ughhhh. I kept taking deep even breaths and willing myself not to throw up. We landed in the Canyon and had a Champagne toast. I drank Sprite. The nice pilot asked if I was sick.

"Yes," I said.

"Does this happen often to you?" He asked.

"All the time. I get sick on boats, planes, back seats of cars and now helicopters. . . "

"Did you take anything before we left?"

"No." I replied as I rubbed my arms to keep warm. I was freezing in the Canyon and only brought a short sleeved shirt.

"Oh, brilliant." He smirked. "And what is it you do?"

"Uhhh. I'm a doctor. . . "

Yeah. My brother is going to go off again on that one. I may as well own a cat and vote Democrat now. That would complete the Moron of the Year Award in his mind.


I had to change a word cause she made a mistake…don’t want anyone to get confused on were I stand on this great country of ours! (ok I don’t want to get shot. Hello I won the dumb guy award once already don’t need it again!)

So DR. yes your at the top of the list, lets hope you win it because for one of your bros or sisters to top it would take a screw up of ungodly imagination!

But keep this in you mind. You didn’t accidentally shoot someone while hunting illegally in Texas and then try and cover it up like no one would notice! You are way out classed in the stupid acts category. You don’t even rate compared to what happened Saturday.

So keep your chin up!

I’m not cruel I just act that way

Some people would and do spend good money to save a cat.

Let’s look at them stupid animals.

1. They don’t have enough meat to make a good size hamburger.
2. They sit around all day
3. They run around all night (mom told me nothing good happens after midnight)
4. They don’t bring you the paper nor will they fetch anything.
5. They leave hair everywhere.

You get the idea. Cats are worthless except if you get one that catches mice and just because its a cat does not mean it will.

so my evil sister in law brought over this stray cat because she felt sorry for it, but she couldn’t take it as she already had 2 cats and for some stupid reason she thought we would want it.
well after about a year we kicked it out of the house because it pissed all over the carpets.
I should have put it down right then but no, we let it stay outside and it just hangs around the front yard and the side yard. I even tried to get my neighbor to put it down.

This stupid cat got itself hit by a car. The dumb cat can’t even get killed properly, it has to dislocate its hip or something.

So the wife calls and finds out its going to be at the very least 250 bucks. Probably alot more to fix this thing. My wife is a practical women. She didn’t even question the cost, she knew that was stupid!

The cat does not seem to be in pain, just crippled. We are debating now on whether to take it to the city animal shelter and for free they will "take care" of it. If it acted like it was in pain we would have done that already but it seems to not be. We will watch it and if that cat so much as acts like a uhhh acts like a wimp and starts whining like its in pain we will take it in.

This chick nearly lost a job over her cats tooth. A tooth? but then again she wants to be a lawyer and anyone that does that is probably a few tacos short of a Mexican Plate.
