I'm pretty excited about this Friday, the 23rd. It'll be a couple of firsts for me...the NC state fair & seeing Jeremy Camp in concert. The family & Shan will show me around to all the redneck festivities, ultra-American fatty food items, and strange animal/people showcases. Then, it's off to see Tenth Avenue North & Jeremy Camp lead everyone in a worship concert. It's going to be exciting!

Awana Olympic Games
This past Saturday, my church Berean Baptist, hosted the 2009 Awana Olympic Games. The team I was privileged to coach pulled a 2nd place, then I got to relax a bit a snap a ton of shots of the older TNT competition. Here are some pictures throughout the day below. The link above will take you to the rest of the pictures for the day.

Surprisingly good
Drove some fast cars of the long weekend...finally starting that process of looking to replace the old civic (a Mustang GTCS, Eclipse GT, and a 350Z Fairlady). The weather here has finally got my approval even though my steering wheel cover has been taken off due to it melting in the TX heat. For this week, highs around 80 and lows in the 50s...definitely can't complain. Saturday's jump isn't far away for me & Cody. More than 10,000 feet will be between our falling bodies after jumping from the plane. Mike = still a little scared to jump. Maybe next time.

Snakes On a Dock? Possibly another movie title?
So today ended Ronnie's problem at his sail club dock...for now. On Tuesday, after we finished up sailing around Fort Phantom, Ronnie was trying to show me the dock joints that needed to be welded back together when i noticed a shiny snake-like body that was indeed a snake. I was calm about telling Ronnie, not wanting to startle him or the big fella below the boards. Well Ronnie didn't take the calm announcement as planned. He did an extremely fast push up from the dock to get away from the snake with a spasm.
After the snake got away Tuesday, we revisited his little home under the dock on Wednesday.
So today ended Ronnie's problem at With a close shot from Ronnie's gun, the snake took off for the water
and we went searching for an hour until he came back to his resting spot. Next we tried to pin him with a steel rod. He attacked the rod and eventually got away again. Well tonight I went up there early to see if he was back. The first crack between the boards...I saw his head, sitting and cooling off under the dock. When Ronnie came, he brought a nice large sharp piece of metal to chop the snake's head off. The big guy put up a good fight, bleeding all over the place until his head & body were separated. Well that head that I had seen earlier...well it wasn't the one that had just got chopped off. There was another one down there under the dock. The metal weapon Ronnie brought would barely fit in between the boards, so he decided to use some excessive force.
A 40 pound rock should do the trick. As he dropped the rock on the metal at our estimated place, it broke the wooded handle on the metal. We thought it was a big miss, but turned out to be a dead-on hit, breaking the snake in two at the neck. It turned out that the first killed snake was a mother. It had birthed a baby snake right with the blow to its neck. After Ronnie brought the dead snakes up on top of the dock, I shook two more baby killers from the snake. Jayden was enjoying poking the snakes, making them squirm. This was a first for me, delivering a baby...more of a plus, delivering a baby of a dead headless snake(probably the last too). Here are some pictures of the mess.

Hey There You
Soar as everything from the volleyball tournament yesterday...but it's always nice to scare some guy that's close to 7 feet tall with this white boy's vertical. Just the frightening look was worth it.
