I know its around here someware….
In the months since Frizbe’s leg was amputated I have gotten a number of questions regarding what happened. I know people mean well when they ask. But for me it’s like asking somebody like Stephen Hawking, “Sooo… how did you become quadriplegic?” Instead of being snippy with those that inquire, I have managed to reply with a few quips when properly in the mood.
A few months ago… Continue reading
Geocaching
.
I read about this thing called geocaching and decided to give it a try. From there website, “Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with… Continue reading
Mt. Ellinor
For the extra day off that labor day provided me I decided to go for a hike. I wasn’t sure that Frizbe would be up for a strenuous hike. Every time we go to the park it takes only about 45 min for him to get tired and want to go home. However, I decided that it was about time that my tripod got a good workout. Upper Big Creek… Continue reading
What a crazy year this has been.
My divorce with Amber was finalized. The trouble was not with any lack of amiableness between Amber and me but the fact that I had to stand before the divorce judges of Pierce county Washington 8 times before the divorce was finalized. The only thing left between us at that point was the 2002 Mazda Tribute we bought before our move to Missouri. Fortunately for me Amber still had it… Continue reading
Uncle Isaac and Le Dauphin Part II
Heather and Derek invited me to a visit to the creek. I haven’t been to a creek or a river in so long. It was very therapeutic, for me and Frizbe (soon to be know as the wonder tripod). Apart of that adventure was Le Dauphin: Continue reading
Doomed to fail: Why I do the things I do I’ll never know.
In my first attempt to pass the emissions test for the state of Washington I should have heeded the sign at the testing facility. The sign read “No pets please”. This alone didn’t seem like an unreasonable request. Continue reading
Marital doom
Last night my next door neighbors decided to have a party… again. I, Pessimistic Pete, was ready for another less than full nights sleep on the weekend. As I lay in bed reading “Pastures of Heaven”, I heard the whooping a hollering that has frequently awoken my slumber. I took a Zen moment and tried to train my mind to not awaken at these pestilent disregards for the common man. … Continue reading
A hike up Tiger Mountain
I learned a lot of interesting facts on my trip up Tiger Mountain. This composition attempts to highlight those interesting facts.
Interesting fact: My deodorant smells nice to women.
The adventure started without the benefit of human companionship I expected to have. Seems my companion had personal reasons, she wished not to share with me, for not going. So my first stop on this trip was at a local… Continue reading
Adventures of The Friz
As most of you know I love The Friz, my K9 counter part. If I didn’t have him in my dismal existence on this planet then I would be close to suicidal. I could put a collection of words together that might bring a tear to your eye, but let’s just say he is my best friend. He is the only friend that has stuck by my side, and never… Continue reading
