I'm Q Sexy for this Swim Suit

Downloading some photos off of Grandma Lois's camera this evening we ran across these incriminating pics from the 4th of July 2010 holiday of Quincy swimming. Amy and I left Quincy with Grandma Lois and Mrs. Kay for the day while we golfed with Mr. Bob... Apparently, we forgot to bring Quincy's swim suit... I guess Mrs. Kay found one of Mr. Bob's old suits, from the 30's!!!!

Just Say No to Local Businesses

Just Say No to Local Businesses a video by Rich on the Road on Flickr.

This spring Rochester needed approval from the state to extend it's 1/2% sales tax. Surrounding communities don't like it because they feel they're forced to pay the tax without seeing a direct benefit for their town...

Well, I guess the answer was simple to Minnesota State Representative Tina Liebling....

If you own a local business you may want to sit down.....

Presidents motorcade... I guess a limo is too flashy for Minnesota...

Quincy and I where taking Joey to the groomer today and the Presidents motorcade stopped us in our tracks. The Prez had a "Town Hall Meeting" in Cannon Falls, just north of Rochester.

Sadly, Quincy and Joey where not impressed.... Infact, that's Quincy picking his nose...

Sickle of Fortune

2011-08-15T11:12:00.001-05:00

This guy is not working on his golf game. That's Jack Remick, Rochester businessman and one of the founders of Fastenal, and he's trimming weeds with a sickle on the edge of some property that he donated to the local Catholic high school. Why would that be unique? He probably owns (or has owned) 4-5 million shares of Fastenal stock (trades @ $30ish/share)... Not to mention his business and social impact in the Rochester community.

Just a little more to go...

These are photo's I took today of local businessman Jack Remick, one of the founders of Fastenal. You may remember back when I wasn't a S@HD I worked for Fastenal. Sometimes I reflect on why I enjoyed my career with Fastenal so much... Well, this photo sums it up.. Mr. Remick is worth millions and has been a major contributor to Rochester's success... Yet, he's not above put'n in a little sweat equity...

Basically, the attitude at Fastenal is everyone can do everything and no one is above anything. Heck, the CEO has a CDL license... He could drive one of inventory feeder semi trucks if it needed to be done.

Which leaves us with Mr. Remick, retired from the Board of Directors, out trimming some weeds because it's something that needs to be done... Tip of the Cap Sir...

Nadya Denise Doud-Suleman Gutierrez known as Octomom in the media, is an American woman who came to international attention when she gave birth to octuplets in January 26th, 2009. The Suleman octuplets are only the second full set of octuplets to be born alive in the United States and, one week after their birth, surpassed the previous worldwide survival rate for a complete set of octuplets set by the Chukwu octuplets in 1998. The circumstances of their high order multiple birth have led to controversy in the field of assisted reproductive technology as well as an investigation by the Medical Board of California of the fertility specialist involved. Public reaction turned negative when it was discovered that the single mother already had six other young children at home at the time and was not financially independent.

Suleman, who was unemployed and on public assistance programs at the time, conceived the octuplets and her six older children via in vitro fertilisation (IVF).

Coal in the Stocking

2009-12-03T20:18:00.000-06:00

I woke up and decided today will be the day Quincy meets Old St. Nic... Well, I should have paid attention in past years or at least planned a dry run... So, I got there and was happy to see that there was no line.. I soon found out why...

#1. A little pricey... $45 for a one minute photo shoot... a few pics, CD copy, a stuffed owl???, and I can go on line and name a star.... creepy....

#2. Santa could a least put on his outfit... It's like we caught him "stuff'n coal down the poot shoot"... and you have to love his Crooks.. He must work that kiosk out of season...

#3. I had random people on the street take a better photo.. (I crapped it the best I could..)

With all that Quincy didn't seem to mind... He laughed and smiled... Probably happy to be out of my hands for a minute... Quincy did end up falling asleep at the mall for about two hours... Good thing they have a Sears....

Next year I'll do my research... I her MOA brings in a ringer from Bonner's in Frankenmuth, MI...

Pee-nal Code Violation #1

2009-11-06T09:10:00.001-06:00

I guess this means in the future we won't have any trained janitors...

But seriously... The teacher probably could have made a better decision here.. but the mom called the police... Maybe the mom was the same freak that called to police from a fast food restaurant for getting her order wrong..

Full story below...

A Florida kindergarten teacher has been removed from her classroom duties after asking a six-year-old student to mop up the urine of another child in a school restroom. Educator Martha Ensley "admitted she made a poor decision" Monday morning in her classroom at Floresta Elementary School, according to the below Port St. Lucie Police Department report. After Jada Portieles, 6, reported that another student had urinated on the bathroom floor, Ensley, 51, asked the girl to "help out" by cleaning up after a male classmate (who frequently pees all over the bathroom and refuses to "clean up his mess"). After Portieles mopped up the urine with toilet paper, Ensley rewarded the child with three "Dolphin Dollars," play money used within the school. Police began investigating the incident after Portieles's "very upset" mother came to school yesterday morning and told administrators about her daughter's work as a junior janitor. After consulting with prosecutors, cops determined that Ensley had not committed a crime. The teacher claimed that she did not "realize the ramifications of her decision," and said she was not trying to "demean the student or cause her any harm." At one point, Ensley asked police if it was okay to have students clean glue off their desktops. A cop explained that, "there was a difference between cleaning glue and pencil marks and cleaning bodily fluid."

Pimp'n da Nobel Peace Prize Bling...

2009-10-09T13:06:00.000-05:00

How would you characterize our President? President or Celebrity? He's Time Magazines 2008 Person of the Year, just won the Nobel Peace Prize, and probably has spent more time on primetime network TV than American Idol...

I have nothing against him and I'm not suggesting that he is responsible for all the hype.. It just concerns me that his pop icon status may diminish the respect of the position he holds..

A beaming President Barack Obama said Friday he was both honored and humbled to win the Nobel Peace Prize and would accept it as a "call to action" to work with other nations to solve the world's most pressing problems.

Obama told reporters in the White House Rose Garden that he wasn't sure he had done enough to earn the award, or deserved to be in the company of the "transformative figures" who had won it before him.

But, he said, "I will accept this award as a call to action, a call for all nations to confront the challenges of the 21st century."

Obama, 48, is the third U.S. president to win the prize while in office, after Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. Former President Jimmy Carter won the prize in 2002, more than two decades after he left office.

FYI... Viks fans.. If there's a better team next year with $14 million to offer.. I'm sure FaVre will have some reason to "re-re-retire"...

Hey... make hay while the sun shines...

Quincy doesn't cry this much.....

Quincy and I are chill'n at a Starbucks in Minnie.. We had/having a

We dropped mommie of at Shriners Hospital for a meeting.. Then ran here car in

Later running errands.. Maybe meet friends for lunch.. After lunch we
are going to hang with Mrs. Becky until mommie calls.

Then out for dinner @ Victor's 1959 Café and back to Rochester...

Make'n Whoopi, Not Whoopi Whoopi..

2009-10-01T07:49:00.000-05:00

I love it when people like Whoopi Goldberg have a soap box like the View and don't take the 2 minutes of due diligence required to form and educated opinion, but it is our fault for giving "stars" that type of power..

Here's a copy of the court report from Roman Polanski's "rape" trial... I would say a drugged 13 year old involved with an adult in acts of sodomy, intercourse and other sexual acts should warrant our concern. Whoopi suggests, maybe that's more accepted in France.. Their society is different and we're trying to hold Roman accountable to an American standard......

Wow, and it took me a minute to find this... and I'm nobody... Well that's my 2 cents...

Look Out Spike!! Mike is back with Nike!!

2009-09-30T19:42:00.003-05:00

Today it was announced that Michael Vick was picked back up by Nike on an endorsement deal.... I get the NFL allowing him to work in an environment that he is qualified to do so... but Nike! WTF... Why would I want his endorsement on anything... bad move Nike... bad move...

I don't know how I'll do it.. but I'll JUST DO IT!!! Stop buying Nike products...

Remember......

AUGUST 24, 2007--Michael "Ookie" Vick has agreed to plead guilty to a felony charge for his role in the management of a brutal dogfighting ring that was headquartered at a Virginia property owned by the NFL star. Vick, 27, is expected to formally enter his guilty plea Monday in an appearance at U.S. District Court in Richmond. As part of a plea deal, the Atlanta Falcons quarterback admitted that his Bad Newz Kennels operation wagered money--which he provided--in pit bull fights. However, "Vick did not gamble by placing side bets on any of the fights," according to a "summary of the facts" that was filed today in court. That document, a copy of which you'll find below, also notes that Vick "was aware" that three of his cohorts killed several dogs that performed poorly in test fighting sessions in mid-2002. The summary reports that "Vick did not kill any dogs at this time." Earlier this year, Vick, and two cronies "agreed to the killing of approximately 6-8 dogs" that fared poorly in testing sessions at his Smithfield, Virginia property. Some of the animals were drowned or hanged, and Vick "stipulated" that the animals died via the "collected efforts" of himself, and codefendants Quanis Phillips and Purnell Peace. Both Phillips and Peace previously pleaded guilty to federal charges and stated that Vick participated in the execution of eight dogs last April. Vick faces a maximum of five years in prison for his conspiracy conviction. CLICK HERE TO SEE THE COURT REPORT

Driver Seat

I guess being a Rock'n Roll star is not what it's all cracked up to be... Chris Nelson, on the right, lead singer of an AWESOME UP rock band, Driver, has fallen on the same tuff romantic times as Bret Michaels...

Ladies... Maybe you can find a way to kindle a little Rock of Love....

Here's his Bio: (or lyrics of the song that he calls life)

I have an A.A.S. in Accounting and work as an Administrative Assistant at a local college. My son is 15 and he is the light of my life and we both are avid sports fans. I would like to meet someone with similar interests for social conversations during dinner or just the contemplation of the world over a cup of coffee. I'm also interested in a woman who is a hopeless romantic like myself and enjoys evening walks and candlelight meals for two, yet can go out and have a good time with friends on a Saturday night. I am a classically trained pianist, but also play guitar and sing. I enjoy writing and performing all types of music. In my spare time I play in the rock band Driver.

Happy Punctuation Day!!!!!!!!!

2009-09-24T08:29:00.001-05:00

Today, September 24th, marks the 6th annually celebrated punctuation day.. So, don't be afraid to mark it up!!!!!! And please don't confused it with emoticon day, that was September 19th!!! ;P

NPD is celebrated in schools and businesses throughout the world with activities, games, programs, and contests. It has inspired people to pay attention not only to their p’s and q’s, but also their commas, semicolons, and ellipses. NPD reminds us of the importance of proper punctuation for communicating clearly at home, school, or at work.

NPD has received worldwide media attention since former newspaperman Jeff Rubin founded the holiday in 2004, with newspaper coverage from Manila to London and from Seoul to Seattle, in addition to broad radio and TV coverage in the United States—including a short segment on Regis and Kelly in 2008.

NPD is recognized by Chase’s Calendar of Events and listed in its sister publication, The Teacher’s Calendar, two directories published by McGraw-Hill.

Amy's on call this weekend and has pretty much gotten pimped... (just the way it goes sometimes..) Normally it's pretty easy going.. but not this weekend.. She's getting plenty of practice... :)

I also realized ths weekend that with the Q's here... if Amy has to go in to the hospital, then I have to work too... Not like pre-Q.. I could jump in the car a cruse to the river.. watch football, or even take a nap... but with the little Q-dogg, theses things are just not possible..

No call next weekend so thing will be back to normal...

I did take advantage of Amy not being here today by getting all of my house work done... Now tomorrow I can run errands with empty stores.. Maybe I'll get a little something for the bike...

I would recommend getting 8 fun people (as we did) together and block off your schedule for several hours...

Amazing the things you find out about your classmates.. Congratulations Alan!!! Hope to see you in July and shake your hand..

The day started out badly for Petty Officer 2nd Class Alan Dementer while he served with the 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment near Nasiriyah, Iraq. And it never got any better.

By the end of that day, March 26, 2003, Dementer would end up with shrapnel in his shoulder and leg, but his actions taking care of wounded Marines would earn him the Bronze Star with “V.”

Dementer’s morning began with a call to evacuate some wounded Marines. As he was preparing to leave, the Navy corpsman found that his rifle wasn’t working properly so he had to scramble to borrow another.

After a couple more trips to treat more wounded through the day, Dementer and a few fellow corpsmen, who were based in Camp Lejeune, N.C., settled in for a quiet evening in their tent.

The unit’s armorer sat working on Dementer’s rifle when mortar rounds started to hit their position.

“All of a sudden, one hit next to the tent and shrapnel hit near the chief,” he said, “and we hit the deck.”

The sailors left the unprotected tent and found themselves in the thick of an enemy attack. “Two trucks were on fire,” he said. “Tracers were flying everywhere.”

Mortars, bullets and rocket-propelled grenades were hitting in the camp.

“Marines were yelling ‘corpsman up’ in a 360-degree radius,” said Dementer, a 13-year Navy veteran. “They were hit all over the place.”

Dementer and the other corpsmen responded to the calls.

“There were so few of us (corpsmen) … [we decided] to bring them to us,” he said about the wounded.

Almost immediately, a nearby machine gun position was hit with what Dementer believes was an rocket-propelled grenade.

One corpsman went to pull the wounded to safety. Dementer went to get his medical supply bag, which was kept in a nearby ambulance.

“I overshot the ambulance,” he said. “Then a mortar landed in the middle of the courtyard not 25 yards away. Shrapnel broke the concrete … and knocked me square over on my back.”

Small pieces of shrapnel had embedded in his shoulder and leg.

“I didn’t realize I was hit,” said the Gladstone, Mich., native. “I rolled over and scooted back.” Grabbing his bag, he made his way back to the other corpsmen.

A wounded gunnery sergeant then came over to their position and said his Marines were pinned down next to the south wall.

“I said ‘Roger that,’ and grabbed my medic bag with extra bandages and took off to the south wall,” he said.

Dementer stopped to patch up one or two wounded Marines, he said, before making it to the wall. There, a lieutenant waited to hoist him to the other side, which was under direct enemy fire.

“There was a couple second lull in the fire,” Dementer said, “and I jumped over the wall.”

He treated six wounded Marines on that side of the wall, eventually evacuating them to the battalion aid station, and was credited with helping 31 wounded Marines that night.

Baby Tip #9

2009-09-18T07:55:00.001-05:00

It's back... Baby Tips... Enjoy...

Like I've been saying the old people are crazy when it comes to babies... What is it? Do old people feel threatened? Well if your going to hit another persons child I guess Walmart would be the logical place to do it...

Meet Roger Stephens. The Georgia man, 61, was shopping Monday morning at a Walmart in Stone Mountain when he crossed paths with Sonya Matthews and her two-year-old daughter Paige. The child was crying, which apparently greatly perturbed Matthews. "If you don't shut that baby up I will shut her up for you," Stephens warned Matthews, according to a Gwinnett County Police Department report. Moments later, Stephens acted on his threat, slapping Paige "across the face approximately four or five times." Though the child "started crying and screaming" after being struck, Stephens told Matthews, "See, I told you I would shut her up." After police were summoned, Stephens told a cop that the child was crying "and he just slapped her," according to the report. Stephens was arrested for felony cruelty to children and booked into the Gwinnett County Detention Center, where he is being held without bond. Paige sustained "slight redness to the face," but was otherwise unharmed.

BTW - This in no way applies to you Jim........... :)
