\"\"<\/a>Well, I got wrapped up in a left field debate with Nick lately\u2026so I neglected blogging about stuff that matters\u2026having fun, family, and friends. LOL<\/p>\n

So here is a re-cap of the adventurous life of me!<\/p>\n

Father\u2019s day \u2013 wow my first one. Keagan and Kade both wanted to stay home from Daycare with me on Friday since I was off. I thought that was nice. We went to town for lunch \u2013 had Chinese \u2013 our favorite. Then Keagan made several cards for me, and they bought one that was pretty funny. Inside it was a gift card to Guitar Center. Man my kids know me.<\/p>\n

I bought a couple sets of strings, two new (nice) harmonicas, and got the kids each a harmonica. Knew they would want to make some noise with me. Plus I could not resist the urge to have a house full of noise going to see the reaction on Jace\u2019s face. LOL I almost went completely evil and bought them in different keys, but I refrained.<\/p>\n

Kade, as you can read on Jace\u2019s blog, ended the T-ball season Saturday. He was awarded with a trophy, plenty of pictures, and an ice cream from Coach Daddy. He was completely upset that he did not get to play though. I blamed that part on Coach Mario. LOL sorry Mario.<\/p>\n

So I spent last week in class for work. It was and Automation mathematics course. Pretty tough \u2013 but I passed. I made approximately a 150% improvement from the 1st day of class to the last\u2026and I still have a job. Lot\u2019s of training to go to in the future as well.<\/p>\n

On the fun side of things. I was ordered by my wife to go Sunday afternoon and buy Rock Band for the Wii. I carried out those orders and purchased the last one they had available. Luck beats tactics every time. <\/p>\n

I sat it all up, called Craig & Angela, and we started a band. That game is really fun, especially when you\u2019re a little crazy like me. See Jace\u2019s post for some funny video\u2019s of us playing. We decided, after a few pratice runs, we were ready to start a (virtual) band. We needed a name, I knew what to call us. <\/p>\n

There is a company that sprys weeds out at all our facilities at work called Chemical Weed Control. I saw some T-shirts they were wearing one day that said “Chemical Weed”. I thought that would be a cool name for a band. Everyone would think it had to do with drugs…LOL <\/p>\n

After hearing us practice on the game – I thought we were on drugs – so…we voted and it was.<\/p>\n

I only knew a few of the songs, which I learned makes it easier for me. If I don\u2019t know the song I am more likely to do well. If I know it, I have a tendency to try and play the drums or guitar as it should be played on the real instrument. That will not work \u2013 there are no strings on the guitar and no cymbals on the drums. LOL<\/p>\n

Anyway \u2013 I was glad we bought it. American Idol was starting to get old. Same songs over and over. <\/p>\n

\u2018till next time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
