August 28, 2009
Trying to reason with another hurricane season; TS Danny is going to brush up to our coast tonight; shouldn't be too much of a problem but its always worrisome to see those things form up off Africa and come across the Atlantic. There is another one behind it about a thousand miles off the Cape Verde Islands....of well, take the bad with the good.
Last Friday night West Carteret opened their season with a 21-18 win over North Brunswick. Jackson averaged either 31 or 37 yards, depending on whether you trust my stats or the newspaper's. Theirs sounds better.
Before the game some students gathered to tailgate. Nice picture of Staci Hoell, Rod and Debbie's daughter. She is one neat young lady, very smart and looking at colleges near San Francisco for next year. She is going to do well at whatever she tries.

And a picture of Jackson after the game. Due to Danny they played their second game last night and defeated Swansboro 58-6. 2-0, first time West Carteret started that well in quite a while. Jackson had 3 punts and averaged 31 yards again according to my calculations; we'll see what the paper says tonight.
Worked in the Tidewater VA area this week, stopped at Edenhouse Bridge on the way and revisited a place I used to really enjoy when I was a kid. We fished out of this landing in the Albemarle Sound and Chowan River for many different types of fresh, brackish and saltwater species. I remember catching a bream on one side of the boat and a flounder on the other one hot summer day under the old bridge. Beautiful water and good memories

And now for something completely different; a Hyundai Genesis; after looking at the the logo on the wheels and the design and paint I thought it was a Bentley. Really nice car.
And a shot for the SkuttleDude, I found the AC Dude. Wonder if its the Air Conditioning Dude, or the Air Cleaner Dude? Now try to remember....who was the Assman?
And last but not least a shot forwarded to me by the SkuttleDude. Look closely at the nameplate above the license plate and the prancing stallion to the left of it. And I always thought my roadster was made in Japan, come to find out she's from Maranello!
At this point I'm supposed to be in town all of next week and then we have Dink's birthday planned for Labor Day weekend (we'll celebrate yours too Kevin, but Dink likes to suck up all of the oxygen in the room) Terri will be very busy with the preparations, wish her luck.

Dueling Banjos No, the odd looking young man did not play the banjo in the movie, here is how the movie-magic people did it: Fake sleeves !!...
