dreaming of a white Christmas!!!!!!!

well here it is close to Christmas and the rain is making puddles in the drive way and every thing is dripping wet. I had to go measure rail on a new house on the river, the gate was locked to the road that led to the house through the field. I went to the nest mile and went to the Larsons house then continued along the bottom of the field for a mile spinning mud all over my truck. A lesser driver would have gotten stuck. I walked around back with my extension ladder to get to the deck above all around the house was new dirt as backfill needless to say i was glad to have the ladder to help me from disappearing. a taller man would have been ok. Then I,m on this new deck that is 16 inch square tiles, guess what the mess looked like when is was done. looked like someone had worked cattle for half a day. If the ground turns cold and covered with snow I will be lots happier. Merry Christmas If anyone has a good Idea for mom for Christmas Im all ears.

I have been a good boy , cept

Well christmas is about here, the tree is up, Moms decorations litter the front room and the nativities are safe down stairs, the bed is a little tricky to make because of the pillows! I can never get it just right and i havent figured out how to set them in the chair so in the morning i can just put them back. When i do get it figured out it will be time for a new quilt and new look. I have had a busy and wonderful year . I lost my dad and aunt bea, ill miss her hugs at church every sunday. and still waiting for my dollar from dads estate, unless the lawyer got it all. I havent got to play as much as i had hoped, water skiing, fishing, hunting, horse back riding, and taking mom on a get away. I guess you just have to play as you go so life is bearable. I have been blessed with good health, good family, wonderful wife great kids , adorable grand kids, stupid dog, lots of work and tools to do it with. What could i possibly need for Christmas, not much, just knowing my family is doing well and love to come home and feed apples to the horses and laughing at me when i run through the house in my long handles like an overweight balerina. and poking fun at me cause their jealeous of me and my media in the yard, Ive been a good boy cept i could have been better

still workingat delis

Well i'm still working at magic valley produce, Patrice came over sat. and brought lunch. here is a picture of the beam that you guys helped me set. Everytime i go over there, there is something new to figure out. I went over sat to finish welding the handrail around the stairs, but Jose louis said thet pete didn't like the stairs but didn't know where to put them,(I could tell him where to put them) He said the lady upstairs wouldn't have enough room. move the stupid wall upstairs 9 feet and put the conveyor over the stairs comming up.all the posts and red iron was the work I did this summer.
Chad called during the day and asked if i could meet him at delis's. I sure could in fifteen minutes. When i got there chad rolled his eyes and said here we go again.
Chad Warren Jose Luise (Mech.) Dave (know it all foreman) Dean (costa delis's grandson). They all said we needed more room and it was just to crowded and wouldnt work. I said cover the stairs comming up and put the conveyor on the top of it and move the wall back nine feet. mmmmm maybe that would work. Of course it would work im the wepenator. people need to just think a little. besides i've heard that there is a genius in the family.

bentley and pumpkin

Well its about time that i post because i have been waitng for Jimmy Chris Bob to blog but he is a slacker.

Well Sat little Bentley got to come for a short visit. He got to ride Grandmas pumpkin, help papa feed apples to the horses, and feed the chickens. then we got to eat grandmas pork chops fresh french fries, well little B started out with a side order of crunch berries, then ate almost all the french fries, then went had dessert of fresh sliced peaches, I didnt know you could eat a whole bowl without taking a breath. the snot was dripping off his top lip, the peach juice was running down his chin,hands arms belly and i forgot how little kids eat.

I love fall the orchard and some one to enjoy it with.

DD layneee

Yesterday we got our work done and headed to firth to see the latest member of our family. As we got there Karisa was home alone up and around and doing really well.
She said at one time we could load up and go find Brent. (she just had a kid!!!)
I got to hold lanie and what a living doll. she is so precious , Long black hair and the longest fingers. My mom had the biggest hands and was so embarresd that all through high school she would try to hide them. Then she realized that heavenly father gave them to her to help other people. This morning i awoke to the D girl in my bed. her and i spent some time just getting to know her spirit, every move she made was so fun to watch. I am so glad she is here safe and sound and her mom is dong so well. Grandma P thinks keese will have them in the semi for the harvest. And Brent is so proud of the little girl that will be a big handfull but be his best freind in the whole world.
Im a pretty proud (Papa) myself. Patrice is staying for a few days and maybe by then she can get hudson to smile, (what a giggle puss) the other night when he came in and saw grandma parish. He was bouncing off the walls.

why I hate neighbors

Hello everyone. Setting here in my chair waiting to go hting, but nobody is at home, so i tried going to sleep but my arms and shoulders ache so bad. I finished my fifth beam at Delis's and it is raining so i decide d to see if i could blog without the meeky princess ( i miss that girl) Well you have all been home and seen the tree house next door. As i was sitting in the chair I looked out the open window and saw a sight that brought back alot of fond memories. (Kimmy and the prairredogs) al the sleep overs. dave beck our home teacher giving us the lesson in the tree house. The construction of the tree house and the geocache. Then you take a little twelve year old boy that his parents are divorced and he is staying at grandmas with nothing to do. I confronted him thrice and took the ladder down and asked if thingds wern't ok at home. he finally got the job done and i haven't seen him and the cousins since. Well we planted trees a few years back and by the time the grand kids are ready for one they will be big enough. (When Bentley gets brave enough to climb.) maybe they can help me build it. I hope things are good enough in your life that you don't have to tear somebody or something down.

I love my girls

It was a busy week, and instead of getting more done i ended up with more jobs. chad called and i met him a delis s patotoe packing shed , on the tracks going to grandpa's. they are shutting down in a couple of weeks and i have to have all the beams and posts ready to go in when they have all the old machinary out and support the roof and box room with out any posts in the middle. It could be a night mare but we will get it done.
I will allways appreciate all my little helpers with all the work we used to do. how about doing mellings chores and does anybody remember the spud cellars? dworshak school, unnumbered hand rail jobs. Nikkala on the punch, karisa on the track torch, hand torch and reamer. deidra welding pin caps and handrail, tameka the power hack saw , welding pin caps, painting and being my hay hauling driver. you girls will never know how much i appreciated your freindship and help.
I am so proud of each one of you and the beautifull women you've become, maybe because of our experiences you will be fantastic mothers and wives. I love you and i have a happy father's day every day ! love dad

THE BLUE GHETTO RIDES AGAIN

tonight i sluffed the cousins party and braden , tameka, and I went to the river, It was totally awesome just like glass and only one boat, alec helms and tyler seamons. wonder how they found our spot. I warmed the ole girl up and then we hit bugs smashing speeds. Tameka got on the wake board and did totally well. The only thing left is the after skiing party. Mom just went to bed and the kids ar being kids. I might have to put in some spark plugs and lube but we did forget to put in the plug , so we had to come out of the water and save our lives. the offer is out, if you want the blue ghetto, you have to take the junk.

time flys even if your not having fun

I have to apoligize to my fans, and especially chrissy jim bob. I think Im in his trash can. This last month has been wild and crazy. Work has been an adventure with more work to do and stuff than i have ever had to do .I have two high school kids working for me and thats a pain. (wish i had the old crew back that we busted butt then went water skiing, they were awesome.) I have to show them ever thing to do and every thing is different. I had them welding pin caps for two days, and then Jared Rhett Jensen came and took them all. It really deflated there ego s to see all the empty paint cans again.
Mom and i are headed to utah mon night , we have to be at the galvinizers and 700 am then pick up stair treads, then meet with the patent attorny at 2:00 get to the temple, then pick up the stuff at the galvinizers at 7;00 p m and then head home. this past week we were building the columns for franklin building and i told jason jones that i wanted an exact measurement so i could cut the 48 foot six inch pipe and get the bollards so i didnt have any waste in the material. long story short he got the old plans and figured a 2/12 pitch . after they were done and painted and deleveried ,I get a call they were all wrong it should have been2 1/2 on 12 pitch. I picked them up and brought them home and cut the bollards up for the 28 inch peices. Measure. cut, grind , fit up , weld, clean, then paint, load on the trailer and deliever. the next day I get a call, out of eight four were wrong, he had thought the left were rights and the rights were lefts. then i start the process all over again, ugh!! when i have so much to do i hate doing things over . DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME I got released from my eleven year old scouts acouple weeks ago. It was one job that i could be myself and the stories were new to the kids i only had them for a year, and they laughed at my jokes.
Mom has really been working hard in the yard, and is taking shape. im posting a picture of a pump. I dont know if you know the story. After my mission i visited betty and carol and there families in glenns ferry , as i was driving doen the road i spotted trach heap (being one to never miss an opportunity i spotted this pump in peices and found a cast iron pot, they went with me to california in 74 and hung in the newmans yard and came to Idaho in 76 . a couple of years ago we made a pond in the back yard, and i love the sound and the memories.

house to myself

We had a big bon fire monday night and the scouts and families came. we burned the trash pile across the canal , then the kids started t o bring tumble weeds to put onthe fire. They had a blast and started sliding down the gravel pit. long story short, they had a good time and tonight for scouts not many showed up cause of monday night, there loss. WE planned a five mile hike for next wed night. Hope we have good wweather. They all just left and mom is at the family history center and Tamekas a mia. I have the house to myself, but dont know what to to. So ill post a little blog and then go get the grim reapers cycle for the big every fifteen mins tommorrow.
Well i just went to thepictures and found a good one so im downloading it because I dont have any thing to write about. I really hope you enjoy the picture.
Just if you wanted to know, I have more work lined up than i have ever had. Maybe well be working on the garage this year. For all of you slacking bloggers , get off your butts.

Easter

When I was just a little boy, I loved to be out doors and see the wonders of spring . One of the fun things to do was to pick asparagrass and take it home to mom. She would be so excited and give me a big hug and teel me how much she loved asparagrass. I think the reason i love to harvest the big A , Is the faces on the peoples faces and the gratitude they have. Then you try to give it to someone and its almost a burden for them to take it. So I kind of know the people on my
Easter big A list.
Then it has to be the blooms on the trees and all the flowers and it amazes me how a little plant with some warm weather can shake off the cold winter and make things beautifull. I'm excited about the orchard , mom did a lot of hard work and i sprayed oil , and now all we have to do is time the frost with blossoms or sets. The orchard looks so open without the cherrie tree.
nest is the Savior's ressurection and what great blessing the world received, that we can all be ressurected and live again. I know that this is true, and all the words of the living prophets . I would be lost if I didn't have this knowledge and opportunity. And most of all , i'm greatfull for the best family in the world!! There support, there help and just being to share there lives and all the things we did while they were growing up. I love you all.

fishing in the dark

Yesterday Tameka and Chelsea talked me into taking them fishing to salmon falls damn. But of course they were out with the boys till all hours of the night, looking at chickens and being crazy. So at 5 o'clock am they weren't the happiest campers. They had to make sandwiches while i loaded the gear. They slept the whole way over there. There must of been a good storm cause the borrow pits and ditches were full of snow, I thought it could be cold. ( it was colder then that.)
As we were fishing and having much success this brand new loaded suburban pulled up close to where we were. Four older gentlemen got out and proceeded to dress in the latest Cabelas equipment. they had everything from the long brimmed hats to the clip on magnifying glass to tie on the flys with. Why do you need camo waders? To blend in with the under water forest or sagebrush patches? Needless to say i caught four while they were getting ready. I made Friends with the older one and said you can have my spot, but remember there is a ninety foot drop off right in front of you. I hadn't seen a fish roll all day, but they were using dry flies that they were using three years ago. I gave the younger one a leach and he caught one just before we left. After taking the girls I remember why i like going with Lyle, and the boys. It was fun and hope to do more of it before Tameka leaves for school.

new Photo

Well I never got many hits on Myron .I thought that the picture i used of him just showing how talented he was stood a better chance than the real picture of him. So through desperate measures I will now show a close up of the world famous trick dog. and skunk chaser, Myron Goldberg for your veiwing pleasure. Please remember that he is some mothers son, and she is very proud of him. maybe i should change the price to OBO.

Myron Goldberg

Here is a picture of the most famous dog, Myron Goldberg . He is Jewish, and also Irish, cause he was born on Saint ptricks day. My brother Randy gave him to us when we got back from D.C. I spent a little time with him and taught him about 15 tricks. Set, stay, laydown, go through my legs, speak, jump over stuff, jump through a hula hoop, roll over, fetch, pull rescue rope,wink one eye, jump rope with me, pee on tires,jump over hurdles,spin in circles. Now the, question is , Is Myron a smart dog , or is warren a good trainer? Anyway Im asking $800.00 for the dog, coller and hula hoop.

think winter

I was in the orchard yesterday taking out the cherry tree. I dug around it and got the chain saw and cut the big roots around the stump, then i took my 2 ton come along and chained around the willow tree at the base. Then went through the tree to the far big branch and hooked on. It was amazing to here the roots snapping and popping, then i hooked it to the pear tree and pulled in the oppisite direction. Then i got the electric chain saw and cut it up in 8 inch peices so i can use it in the smoker im building.
Then i walked by the apricot tree . the!@#@$ thing thinks its spring and every branch is in full bloom top to bottom. I wish this little tree would still be thinking of winter!!
For my hort. daughters, what is the chance it wont freeze again till August?
Stupid little tree, always wants to be the first, crap there aint any bees in the valley, there still in california working the almonds.

today was a waste

today i straightened Fred Woods forklift steering bar, four minutes, cut off Bret Robbins shower spacer , six minutes. Met Tameka at Alltell and paid 353.47 for three phones and a new plan. Took moms car to the tire shop, four tires, 200.00. Went to lunch at main street burger, 5.29. went home and got the truck and went to pacificand got some angle iron for arts grates 234.15. Went home and got the suburban and took it to tires west, four tires, 770.00, but got some free beef, (the sausage kind, uck.) then went home and welded for one houor and fifteen minutes. Time for scouts and supper, what a wasted day. but mom can go styling in the lincoln.
today i gotmy first full can of eggs, 24 to be exact, thank goodness for spring.
I saw my first robin a while ago, and realized that the kill deers will be here any day. Usually i her my first one late at night while im feeding the horses and they are still moving north, around my moms birthday, March 4.
WENt to Dads birthday party last night, full house, they invited all the ladies in the apartment. Had some good laughs and then dad headed for his room, (Jazz game) on the tube. He was happy and so were we.
hopfully i can post a picture of my spring with my new phone camera.

i hate the freaking computer

when I was in school and learned to type on the old typewriter, with mrs Bedke. everyone wanted the new electric typwriters. Not me, cause i would touch a key and it would put nine to ten leters before i knew what was going on. the old typwriter was so hard on my hands ,cause you had to pushreally hard really fast and they would cramp up and my whole arms would ache. I could put the carriage where i wanted the letters and they would be there. Now this stupid commputer has so many damn keys that they do ten million things I don't know what to do. Maybe its not the stupid commputer as much asit is the stupid old man. I'm starting the family history class, and I have to write my family history. wouldn't it be ? to have my family history written down, "praise Jesus.'"
This past wed. we had to meet with Dr. Jeffries at 3;45 . we were all there but
Randy, The Dr. came in late and know one new what was going on. After a while the Dr. left and then things got really ugly, Finnaly I had to get to scouts so I left. Its amazing to me how grown people can act so immuture. Like Dwight said, "We all have the same dad, but we look at him nine different ways,"

popcorn party rocks

We heard that Whitney was having a popcorn party, so we loaded the suburban and headed to the LOGAN valley. Met Jimmy Jolley from albion and he said that Dwights family was the ones who got him in the church, small world. Another kid was from Spokane and knew Mark Shelby and the boys. Went out and ate at theFactory, then had ice cream , then popcorn. Oh to be young again andhave your body function even when you abuse it Whit thanks for the invite and the good time,keep in touch.

hello bloggers

well thanks to nikkala, I'm now an official blogger . now if i ever do any thing worth writing about you'll be the first to read it. its 9;15 and I have to go finish
