a hippopotamus and a rabbit

DAiry,
The race wasn’t so bad. We had real good seats, we could see all but a little bit of the track, and if we leaned way over we could see that. It was loud, smelly, and long. The best part was wathching the drunks in the parking lot on the way out. They was quite entertaining.

Dairy, I’m sunburned real bad on my face and neck. I helped backfilled a foundation monday and tuesday we laid the block for a foundation. The family in the house we worked at monday had to tear down their other house because termites ate it up. By the time our youth group goes down these should be around the stage of hanging sheetrock or trim on the inside and on the outside it will probably be ready for vinyl siding; those are just rough estimates on the scheduling.

ROMANS 6:14 FOR SIN SHALL NOT HAVE DOMINION OVER YOU; FOR YE ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW, BUT UNDER GRACE.

I IS VONSTEGALL AND I HATE REALLY STUPID CHAIN E-MAILS WITH HOROSCOPES IN THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh well

Dairy,
Why me?!! The string of bad luck continues. I have to go to the busch race tonight. My sister-in-law’s sister-in-law gave her four tickets and they want me and Lynn to go with them. I really don’t want to but Lynn does so we’s going. I get a saturday off and think I’ll just kick back and relax, instead it’s off to the races.

Well Dairy, that’s my entry for today. See ya later.

II CHRONICLES 12:7 AND WHEN THE LORD SAW THAT THEY HUMBLED THEMSELVES, THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO SHEMAIAH, SAYING, THEY HAVE HUMBLED THEMSELVES: THEREFORE I WILL NOT DESTROY THEM, BUT I WILL GRANT THEM SOME DELIVERANCE; AND MY WRATH SHALL NOT BE POURED OUT UPON JERUSALEM BY THE HAND OF SHISHAK.

I IS VONSTEGALL AND I WANT TO STAY HOME!!!!!!!!!!!

saturday

Dairy,
We went to our 50 anniversary celebration for the company saturday. I really didn’t want to go but I glad I did. I saw a cousin that I don’t see often, that would be any of my cousins. Anyway we was pretty close to her family when we was young. I didn’t know that her husband works for the same company I do, it’s a pretty big place.

Dairy, seeing Lisa was a good treat. I have some good memories of spending time with Lisa and her sisters, Debbie and Tricia. I’m about 5 or 6 years older than tricia and I remember visiting them after she was born. They lived in a two story house and there was a room above Tricia’s that we would go up in and we could look down and see Trish laying in her crib. I remember when she was about 3 years old, she had this plastic frying pan and she would chase me around her house hitting me with it. I didn’t like it at the time but now it’s a good memory. I use to call Debbie dogface(she wasn’t really ugly I just told her she was), one day her and her mom got out of the car at our house and I said hey dogface. She threw back her hair and gave it a shake and says thank you, real big like. Her mom gave her a funny look; she thought I said dollface, that was pretty funny. Lisa had a pool table and they were also one of the first people we knew who had an atari game system, so we wanted to go over to thier house an awful lot. We had lots of fun with their family.

I reckon that’s all I has for now Dairy, talk to ya later.

DEUTERONOMY 28:9 THE LORD SHALL ESTABLISH THEE AN HOLY PEOPLE UNTO HIMSELF, AS HE HATH SWORN UNTO THEE, IF THOU SHALT KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD THY GOD, AND WALK IN HIS WAYS.

I ARE VONSTEGALL AND I HAVE FOND MEMORIES OF MY COUSINS.

difference

Dairy,
We got our building all cleaned up for the big tour tomorrow. It wasn’t really fair, we are the only building in the manufacturing area that will be walked all the way through, so we had to do more painting and cleaning than some of the other buildings. Well painting and cleaning pays the same as running a machine so what the heck, plus it gave me lots of overtime the last few weeks.

Dairy, right in the central area of my machine we gots this great big ceiling fan, I bet the blades are 15 or 20 feet long, whale anyway, right in the center of the fan is a picture of a donkeys rear and the slogan “Big A**Fan”.
Wail last saturday I was in there painting and the plant manager was in there. I stopped him asked if we was doing all this cleaning to give off a good image? He said yes and I asked if he had ever looked at the fan. He never had, I told him that just didn’t fit the image of the company I tell people I work for and that I rather my wife and kids not see that. He said he didn’t like it either and it would be painted over. And it was.

Dairy, I understand the logo and the play on words and all that, and I know that my kids arsn’t really little and it wouldn’t be big deal for them to see it, but there will be lots of little kids in there tomorow and I’d rather them not see it. I sawed some guys looking at the fan and talking about it this week and I heard one dude say he had told his wife about the “big a** fan”, he seemed disapointed that she wouldn’t get to see it. It was a pretty good conversation piece. But now it is just silver spray paint. Well I maid my impact on the tours.

Dairy, that’s all I has for now, I’ll talk at you later.

PSALM 70:1 MAKE HASTE, O GOD, TO DELIVER ME; MAKE HASTE TO HELP ME, O LORD.

I ARE VONSTEGALL AND SPEAK UP YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

i’m entered

Dairy,
I entered another poem into a contest today. The prizes are small but I figured I’d give it a shot. I didn’t enter the same poem as last time. I don’t really expect a whole lot but who knows maybe an honorable mention. We’ll see.

Dairy, I got to thinking back to my humble beginnings of a poet(tic). I thunk I would share my first poem with ya dude. Well actuall it may be a song, I arsn’t really sure but here it is.

WRECK OF A FART
Going down the highway doing ninety-four.
Billy cut a fart and blew me out the door.
The engine couldn’t take it; the body fell apart,
All because of Billy’s super-sonic fart.

Dairy, It’s about bed time and I want to put a copy of that crap in my poem book so I’m gonna go now. See ya dude.

PSALM 46:8 COME, BEHOLD THE WORKS OF THE LORD, WHAT DESOLATIONS HE HATH MADE IN THE EARTH.

I BE VONSTEGALL AND THIS ALL THE DESOLATION I HAVE FOR NOW.

i gots an itchin

Dairy,
I don’t know how it happened dude but the other day when we got some wood an ant or two got into my britches; oh how I itches. I gots this great big spot on my butt that itches like crazy. Calomine arsn’t done nothing for it.

Dairy I been feeling like crap lately and I just can’t shake it. I’ve tooken my medicine regularly but it arsn’t helped any. I arsn’t depressed I’m just feeling butt-holeish.

Hay Dairy, I backed out of working saturday even if it is double time. I decided I’d rather go on the plant with tour with Lynn and the kids and then spend the whole day with them instead. I tell ya what I’m getting tired of painting. That’s what I’ve done for the last who knows how many saturdays and I worked over tonight and all I did was paint.

Dairy, that’s all I gots to say for now I’ll talk to ya later dude.

PROVERBS 15:14 THE HEART OF HIM THAT HATH UNDERSTANDING SEEKETH KNOWLEDGE; BUT THE MOUTH OF FOOLS FEEDEDTH ON FOOLISHNESS.

I BE VONSTEGALL AND I PROBABLY SPELLED BUTT-HOLEISH WRONG.

feeling foolish

Dairy,
What an idiot I is. I had to taught sunday school this week. I read the lesson early in the week just like I usually do. Then I made my notes saturday like I always do. I kept thinking that we had had this lesson real recent, it just seemed so familiar. Well I made my notes and then sunday morning I started and I called on someone to read the first set of scripture. What I told them to read wasn’t what they were looking at in their books. The lesson seemed so familiar because it was; Carson had taught this lesson last week. It’s bad to do the wrong lesson but to do the one we had just done, that’s pitiful dude. Oh I felt so stupid, but we muddled through.

Dairy, I saw an article on the news about two women who got into a brawl in a restaraunt over a kid crying too loud. The way I saw it this one woman was upset because the child was disturbing her peaceful meal. So she confronted the mom and ended up in a brawl. This brawl disturbed the peaceful meals of everyone in the restaraunt. This lady was so selfish, she did the same thing to everyone there that she was upset about happening to her. She only considered herself, this attitude is so prevalent in our world. This sort of goes along with the theme of our ss lessons this month. The theme is conflict and if we just treat everyone the way we want to be treated most conflict will be avoided. If this woman would have thought about the consequences of confronting a crying child and put the interest of the other people first she would have realized that a crying child is much more peaceful than a couple of women having a catfight. Although there was probably some guys present who enjoy a good catfight, but most people don’t, not at supper time anyway.

Dairy, we went and got some more wood today. There should be only one more load and I’m gonna half to do a little cutting to get that. I hate starting the week off like that but I’d rather get it early than wait until later in the week. We probably have 2 loads of brush to carry off also. I’m gonna have to do a little work on my saw before I can do the cutting so we’ll get the brush tomorow and the wood next week. Dude I feel so lazy for not working on the wood everyday until we get it finished but I just arsn’t gonna wear my self out.

Dairy, I’ve been working six days a week all year. I’ve had one or two saturdays off not couniting the mission trips we’ve been on but that was work too. I hate this working all the time crap Dairy. We’re gonna have to make some changes someway or another, I’m just sick of it all. At least when I worked a lot of overtime at the tire plant it was by choice and we could use that money to take mini-vacations every few months. Dairy, I know that I need to quit whining, just be patient with me I’ll be alright in a day or two. I know that The Lord has blessed us tremendously and I’m very thankful that our needs are being met.

Dairy I reckon that’s all the crap I have for now I’ll see later dude.

JAMES 2:19 THOU BELIEVEST THAT THERE IS ONE GOD; THOU DOEST WELL; THE DEVILS ALSO BELIEVE, AND TREMBLE.

I ARE VONSTEGALL AND I DON’T HAVE TO TREMBLE; NAH NAH NA BOO BOO THE DEVILS ARE TREMBLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

glasses, watches, paint, and gas.

Dairy,
I taked Jamie to the eye doctor and he needs glasses. He can see fine for 40 inches and then it gets fuzzy. I watched him try Jamie out with different perscriptions and it was amazing at the difference that he could see with each perscription.

Dairy, we filled out some paper work for the eye doctor and it asked what medicine he took and for what. Well, my boy takes four different kinds of medicine for his tourette syndrome, adhd, and ocd. He has been on them for 8 or 9 years. I got the same dopey question I always get. Do they work? NO stupid we just like paying $100 a month for medicine. Of course they work or he wouldn’t have been taking them for so long. Then he goes into some spill about natural remedies and some other bullcrap that he is involved in. I listened respectfully and then he went on with the eye examine. I’m glad he didn’t push about it. And if’n your wondering Dairy, we have tried everything that every expert has recommended on these issues and these work best for Jamie. And no Dairy, he is not a zombie; although sometimes it would be nice if’n he was.

Dairy, I got my 50 year celebration watch today. I also got a new hard hat, it even had my name on it.

Dairy, yesterday they shut all the machines in my department down and made us paint all day. I heard that we was gonna do the same today and all next week. Thankfully I got to run my machine today and the supervisor said there would be some painting next week but not as much as we have been doing. I’m going in to paint tomorrow.

Dairy, I almost stopped and got gas on the way home from work last night and decided not to even though I was extremely low. Well I stopped today on the way in to get some gas and I had left my wallet at home. I usually get gas after work so it was a real blessing that I stopped before work. If I would have waited until after I would not found out that I had no wallet until after work. I was able to bum 5 dollars off a dude. I got a whole 1.67 gallons of gas with it. I would have run out before I got home if I hadn’t been able to borrow the money. The Lord blesses.

Dairy that is all I have for now, see ya later dude.

PSALM 119:71 IT IS GOOD FOR ME THAT I HAVE BEEN AFFLICTED; THAT I MIGHT LEARN THY STATUTES.
