Rain Rain Rain Golf Rain Rain

Well it has been a very rainy day down here today. Liz is off to Norman to hang out with some of her college girl friends..... So i got to spend the day with Dude and some of my Dallas friends.

I have never really been a hobby person, never really hunted, played a ton of golf, fished etc. I have really been craving to start a hobby or find something to do. So I am trying to practice/play more golf. So today my friends and I had a tee time at this really nice course and about an hour before we were to start, strong T-storms came in, so we had to cancel our round. We were all bummed out and then a break in the storms happened and we called about 10 places and found a course that said they would let us play. So we get to the course as fast as we could and start our round. It was awesome. There was no one on the course except for us, it had a nice cool breeze and the course was just in awesome shape. We played 9 holes in about hour and fifteen mins and i actually played decent for once in my life, maybe it was because we were trying to play so fast and i didnt have time to think about anything. We get to the 8th hole and on our carts GPS screen it says a T-storm is approaching. So we finish up 9 and go check the radar and a huge storm was coming, the guy was nice enough to give us a 9 hole rain check. Come to find out the storm before we started knocked over the Dallas Cowboys training faculty and the storm after we left dropped about 2 more inches of rain..... So i am guess i am glad we got to play and didnt get hit by lightning because that would of been bad..... 

another note, i hate Directv because every time it rains, i have no TV, so right now i have no idea if anything crazy is going on with this storm that is lighting up the sky with lightning. 

We also changed our trip to Las Vegas, so i hope we wont get the swine flu there.....

Trip Update

AA pushed the date back for the flu policy..... To change the trip will cost $30 for the hotel or to get a full refund it will cost $59 a person.... We have been looking at other USA travel destinations.... I keep you up to date 

On another note: we decided to take Dude to the Southlake dog park tonight. Dude had to go into the big dog park because there was no little dogs to play with. Dude really got taken advantage of by the bigger dogs, it was kinda sad. But Liz and I had fun playing with all the dogs while dude hid behind us. 

swine flu

So we have a trip planned to Mexico may 17th - may 21st to celebrate Liz's upcoming graduation.... everyone keeps asking me what we are going to do and honestly we have no idea what we are going to do.

American Airlines just extend the Mexico Travel Policy to all flight/trips planned from now to May 16th, where you can cancel for free, move locations for free or move the date of the trip for free. So as of right now we cant change it, but most likely it will get pushed out again in the next few days. So what would you guys do?

Ps Liz accepted the Job at the place in North Richland Hills. WAY TO GO LIZ!!!!!!!

Have a great day

i chose....

I know you all want to know what i decided to do on my ticket....

I chose to take defensive driving and have it not go on my record. It was a rainy Friday so i got a few hours done at work and then Dude woke me up around 6am on Saturday so i just went ahead and finished the class. I only missed two questions on the whole class. 1) what color was the cop car in the last video you watched and 2) what does a rail road crossing sign look like.... Who know railroad crossing have two different signs.

It was kinda fun to go over all of that stuff that you learn when you are taking drivers ed. Did you know in Texas up until 2000 something it was illegal to be a passenger under the age of 17 in the front seat with no shoes on?

Well that is about all i have to blog about. . .

what would you pick

here are my ticket options.... what would you guys do

1) Pay the $180 and it goes on my record

2) Pay $195 and go on probation for 90 days and it does NOT go on my record

or 3) Pay a court fee of $107 and have to take a $25- six hour defensive driving course and it doesn't go on my record.


I guess it is a decision on how much my time is worth......


let me know your opinion

Stupid Tickets

I think I must have a record of getting stupid traffic tickets....

Here is my rundown of stupid tickets

1) age 17... first time mom and dad let me drive outside of Tulsa. Speeding coming back from Stillwater with 6 high school kids in the car. The speed limit dropped like 10 miles an hour and I didn't see it or something.

2) Parking in a yard at a OU football game my freshman year, I paid the frat house to park there because OU likes to sell the student parking on gamedays.

3) Sophomore year of college. Parking backwards with one tire on the line of a handicap spot at my apartment when i was moving out. My trunk and doors were wide open and I was taking loads out to the car and inbetween loads I got a $60 parking ticket.

4) Jr year of college. Not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign and pulling out in front of a cop... stupid me

5) Summer after I graduated college, the one time I actaully got out of a ticket only because it was a day away from my birthday. Got clocked speeding by an airplane on I-35 and the one car they pulled over was ME, not the semi truck that was flying by me or the other million cars that passed me that day...

6) and then today I get pulled over for going straight from one side to the other side of a 4 lane road in The Colony, Texas. The issue was that it was posted right turn only. So I am the lucky guy that got pulled over and ticketed for "Disregard Traffic Control Device." Awesome i love paying $180 tickets for crossing the road with no traffic with in a 1/4 mile of me...... Must be a slow crime day....

if you want to contribute to the pay Steve Miller stupid traffic tickets fund just let me know
