Hi Chuck Squire here
We rode 6 miles on our mountain bikes this past Sunday (8 22)..AND IS MY BUTT SORE.. I think I need to get a seat that's more cushioned...I feel like I got some kind of shot in my butt..But it was a great ride..
One of the trails we took looked like a jungle..!!

I'm taking a vacation starting this Friday(8 27 )and I won't be writing to you till after Labor Day..I'm going to swim with the fishes in Mexico again..I'll have some pictures to show you when I return!!

Steven Tyler Does It Again!!

Recently at a show in New York, Steven Tyler whacked Joe Perry in the head with his microphone. At about :08 into the video, you can here the "doink" when the mike makes contact with Perry's dome.

What's wrong with me.??

WAIT ...wait. No need to answer that. one word; PLENTY! :) but I reference this particular "wrong" in today's blog back to the worst guilty pleasure of recent memory known as JERSEY SHORE.

Yes..i along with millions of other knuckleheads are watching a bunch of slugs from JERSEY SHORE infest the Miami South Beach area with their particular brand of ...well, actually I am not sure what these peeps do. Other than struggle with horribly contrived "drama" of Ronnie and Sammi Sweetheart. and drink. A LOT . at various clubs .

Yes are learinng about "grenades"(not so attractive womens) and the "GTL" (gym tanning and laundry for the uninitiated). But nothing else. and I do mean nothing else. Rarely have I ever seen a show about so little occupy so much attention . Snooki gets arrested for public drunkeness and (this is true) ANNOYING people. love that. I would actually like that charge on my "permanent " record. Ronnie is a neanderthal who rammed his head into the wall while trying to get into bed . OK..that one made me laugh.

So what is it about these lunks that makes us watch? for the life of me..I cannot answer that question. There is that thing about "not being able to turn away from a car wreck" and I guess that will have to suffice for now. oh wait..I think JERSEY SHORE is on...uhhh. gotta go.

HiYa~ Happy Friday! This is the first weekend I have off in what seems like forever. There is still so much to do this weekend as I will take on yet another household project of sanding and painting. We are suppose to have a pretty dry weekend according to Matt Meister (our local weather man) so should be fun! I hope you have a great weekend and we will chat later:)
Much Love

Take this job and SLIDE....

VIVA LA REVOLUCION....introducing America's newest folk hero..media sensation..Jet Blue flight attendant STEVEN SLATER...

By now, you know the story. Rude passenger. Droppin F bombs--then the ultimate exit..deploy the emergency chute, grab two beers and SLIDE! Race home..get arrested, Become and overnight sensation, get released into a phalanx of photogs and press. Get over 150,000 Facebook followers in a day and a half.

Welcome to the new world. Many will try and assign reasons we have embraced this dude. I think it is simply untold frustrations with our own situations ; be it a work or the usually terrible flying experience, or whatever may drive us to the brink of rebellion!

Steven simply had enough. Think Samuel L Jackson in Snakes on a Plane: "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!" or the great NETWORK from 1976 " I'm as MAD as HELL and I'm not gonna take it anymore!!" Was it wrong? technically yes. Dangerous? OK. maybe. but it has caught the attention of a frustrated, sick of rudeness and bad customer service fatigued nation.
I predict the late night talk shows. Movie deal. Reality show. its what we do these days. Heck if those clods on Jersey Shore can have a career..then go STEVEN!

and VIVA LA REVOLUCION!!

Hey
I went for my first mountain bike ride Sunday...I remembered how to ride a bike ..but I was kinda shakey at first...Oh ..I learned very fast that it's a BAD IDEA to try to make a quick turn on a wet gravel trail..slid sideways and crashed..
It can only get better from this point on!!!Right?

Hey
Chuck Squire here

Well, I decided to buy a mountain bike. I've thought about it for a while and finally took the plunge. There are so many great trails around here. Now I have to get a bike rack, water bottle holder, pump...helment...I want one of those helments that looks like a brain....Do they still make those?
See ya on the trails!!

Summertime!!

The world's oldest college student, as I've been called by some of those I work with, will finish another summer of classes at UCCS this next week! Two weeks off then it's back for fall.


Hopefully, there'll be at least a little time to engage in some summertime activities before it's all over!!
