Woodchuck Wisdom

But today...not so much.... It's good to get the free upgrades in hotel rooms . It's been a very long week so far. Lot's and lot's and lot's of driving with someone else at the wheel. As some of you may know, this is not a good thing. Finding a nice bed at the end of the day can make all of the diffence as to whether or not I'm just going to one little cranky woodland creature the next day. Recap of the week so far: Miles driven..unknow as I'm not driving Starbucks.... 0 as I'm not driving Cranky factor...."HIGH" as I'm not driving I want my trusty steed, the wind in my fur...........It's been a very long week.

It's over 100 today, with all of the fur, I'm trying to think cool thoughts. A cool IPA with friends.... So I fly to San Diego on Monday, is that jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire type of thing? It's hot, really hot in Southern CA right now and I'm going to be working with technicians out in shops with no AC...crap.... I guess I should not complain as it appears that we now have their weather now too. I love Alaska Airlines...upgrade to first class.....It makes the flight so much better. Congrats to little Squirrel who has his new steed to drive now...Looking sharp little woodland creature.

Just sitting around dreaming of flying to somewhere sunny.... Just can't seem to get to work...... at the airport no less.

I have a really green paw, ya know.

I noticed a strong family resemblance to another feathered creature....

Yaaaaaa.....Sing with me.." on the road again, I'm on the road again..." I'm taking the black stead out of moth balls on Monday and hitting the road. Just a short trip to Fresno, CA. and Sacramento, CA. for the week. It's been a busy past couple of weeks. I started selling my toys on ebay....$1200 for 135 Hotwheels, I should have done this a few years ago. I only have 1500 more Hotwheels to go and then I will have a large dent into the toy mess. And maybe my garage back as well. Started riding my bike again last week. I did 25 mile today and won't be able to sit for a day or two. I have a nice Kona full suspension bike that is sooooo nice to ride. Fat furry woodland creatures need all the help we can get. Update on the nickname " Tweek ". I like it and have even changed my caller ID on my cell phone to say "Tweek" when he calls. Squirrel is having an open hole this weekend. He is going to have a keg of Yellow Snow Ale from Rogue Ales on tap...

Good Day. Today is my birthday and I'm posting half tanked from my free 1/2 yard of brutal bitter from Rogue Ales . I also am sporting a new t-shirt from Rogus as well. Why do I have this moment to share with everyone? Because Rogue gives this to everyone on their Birthdays. I am that magical number that is the answer to life, the universe, and everything. I spent a wonderful evening with my wife. Had Birthday cake. Life is good. Bad News. Brew Dog is no longer with us. This is a sad day for the Rogue family. I'm sure that Brew Dog is in heaven taunting us with his ales. Rest in peace my friend.

So far, Tweek is working for everyone. However I must admit the Tweek does not think it's so funny. I guess that is one reason why it is working. Things that Tweek "Tweeks" on Expense checks Sales Calls Fill rate Customer service or the lack there of. Why Rogue is the best ales ever. And the list goes on. You just have to love the Tweek. Every team should have at least one Tweek to harass during the week. Best Tweek moment: When we ordered a patch kit for his girl friend.

I'm a hiding Oh, crap..They found me!!!! Did someone say "TOGA..TOGA...." and yes, I am a true toga master...look no underwear...

When you have a 10 hour drive with your little varmits. Find a place to hide away... Any place will do. I love my little varmits, just sometimes I could ...well put them back. I think they get this from their mother's side.

View from the deck. Ok, view from the deck of the hotel. On the road again, headed to sunny California. Details to follow....

Why is it so hard to come up with a nickname for some people? Names that we have come up with so far: Little Roller Fluffy...I'm not going to explain this one. BBB....Barbeque,beer, and boosting None of these have seemed right. He knows everything, sort of a Cliff from Cheers type. Except that he is not alway right and will never admit it to anyone. I think that we are going to test drive "Tweek" for 30 days and see what happens. 30 days or your money back.

Life is a blog...the trick is to avoid letting someone blog about you.... Only real furry woodland creatures drink Rogue I2PA or Brutal Bitter. I've always said that Miller was a bad thing, not really beer, more of a bottle of colored water. As a side note...Most Opossum are in a 12 step program by their two's or so.

Some people fish for Musky, some travel for fun....Me, I use to play on the water. Get hauled off the side of the river by one little Coast Guard flying machine and you are grounded. It probable did not help that I lost the boat too. Words of wisdom...If the river you are on increases in flow by a factor of 5 or more...Stay on the bank and drink a nice IPA.

Thanks to Meritt , it seems that everyone has this family tradition. Kelster has the other half. I'm going to take a picture of you taking a picture of me. Although, I was taking a picture of the fine trees in the background.

Here I am with Squirrel at the big falls in Twin Falls, ID. This is proof that I did not throw in the Squirrel.

Think of how this could mat my fur....not good.

This is about a 40'-45' drop. Please note that I did not throw in the Squirrel on the last picture..... Snake River in Idaho near Twin Falls.

ON So Many levels Ground Woodchuck and Squirrel Kabobs???????

Just hanging out with friends...
