This past weekend, Cindy, Zach and I traveled to Northern Utah for a mission farewell. It was kind of a spur of the moment and Cindy pulled a wild card to get me to go. It is about a 9 hour drive and at first Cindy tried to sell it to me by saying that we could go shopping. I told her that the secret to a sell is not to try to sell something by offering something that was a reward for your self, but by offering a reward that the person you are selling it to, would want. Shopping is not something that interests me one bit. In fact I hate shopping. I am even getting to the point that I don't like shopping at sporting goods stores. Maybe I have everything? I don't know. So she hit me below the belt by saying that I could purchase a gas boat motor that I had been looking at. So of course I went. It worked out pretty good and we had a really good time. We didn't ever spend that much time shopping. It was nice to see familyand friends and even get to know family and friends that I didn't know. I learned a few things this weekend and I thought I would list them.
Lessons Learned this weekend:
1. I learned that City folks laugh at you when they ask you to go in and get a knife and you don't have to because you already have one in your pocket.
2. I learned that there are people that are crazier about duck hunting than I am.
3. I learned that Rick has a specific time set out every day to tan.
4. I learned that Rick takes his tan very seriously.
5. I learned that cats, if treated right can eventually evolve into dogs.
7. I learned that a great way to entertain kids is to teach them death and submission holds. (I hope they don't use them)
8. I learned (from church) that Rick is not Satan, and that no matter how much you like Ozzy Ozbourne you can still raise good kids.
9. I learned that the only services on the 180 mile stretch between Rock Springs and Rawlins are for fireworks and porn. (which leaves me with the question, What goes through a persons mind when they stop at the porn shop 100 miles from everything? Are you just driving along that miserable stretch of road of I80 and the thought pops into you mind...."Man this trip sucks, I've gotta see something necckid."? I mean the thought did pop into my mind about needing fireworks. But I'm a redneck, I need fireworks. (I just got confused and went to the wrong store)J/K
10. I learned that in the town of Rawlins WY. Meth is considered one of the four basic food groups.
11. I learned that if you ever needed to staff a carnival, Rawlins WY is a great place to start.
So I guess that it was a learning experience and I had a good time. It was nice to see everyone. I wouldn't even have minded one more day.

You are seriously hilarious! I love the list. I was totally depressed Sunday because I wasn't there to join in the fun. I'm glad I got to see it through your eyes!!!!
P.S. Isn't loving Ozzy a prerequisite to raising good kids?
Good to see you, Country Boy! It is beyond belief that Cindy stays with you though. :)
We really wern't laughing at you with the knife episode...it was the fact that you wanted to test the 'burgers with a knife that had blood and rodent fur on it!
It was good to see you Dave, Cindy and Zaccy!! I have some cute pictures of Zach and Jak. I will email them over!
And just a heads-up... if Ryker gets in ANY sort of trouble by mimicking the death grips you taught him to other kids... YOU better bury yourself with that man in that grave on your property.
miandmiksmom-I don't know if you want to see anything through my eyes.
ricky sixx, that wasn't rodent fur, it was coon fur. There is a difference.
Chel-If you could pass a message on to your boy for me, that would be great:
Dear Ryk.
Mercy is for the weak, the enemy deserves no mercy! When faced with and opponent we STRIKE HARD! STRIKE FIRST! offering no mercy.
Thank you for passing that on.
