My Baby is here!!!


welp, it finally came together, and what a great day yesterday was, welp, lets start out by saying that i may be changing jobs soon, i got a call from my friends at "U.S.A. Truck", and have a job waiting for me when ever i decide to take it, i am signed up, authorized and ready to go!!!!!

well, the same day i found that out i hit my boss up for a few days off, whitch in his world is unheard of, and after two weeks with no day off i really needed it too... anyway, i called my little boo(my nickname for my son Brian) and he stated he wanted to come to dad's house, and that it had been a really long time, so it was off to the races, chrissy was going to be off friday, and by the grace of the powers that be i was going to find a way to see my kiddo, even if i had to quit my job, so i communitaed that to my boss, and he reluctantly agreed to let me off half a day friday, and sat and sunday, so off we went to sanangelo to pick up the little guy, with precious cargo in tow we headed back to odessa, it was a great trip back, with the little guys talking constantly it made me feel really good to have him back under my wing.....where he belongs!

in the process of getting back to town i got my paycheck cashed and we went for a ride on the go-carts, well, after making some runs with the little guy in front of me on the cart we decided to let him make a run or two by himself, so he did, and he was GREAT, he ran that cart like a pro, going in deep on the corners, and comming out fast and wide, just like his pop had instructed him to, then for a little breather we decided to make the mall, well, while walking in the mall we come apon a small shop that sells pocket bikes, and daddy gets the bright idea that brian might just be old enough for a new mini-pocket bike, and a few hundred dollars later we take his new bike to the car, with a grim look from chrissy.
i know this is gonna be rough... hahhahahahah, but i dont really care, as long as my little guy is having fun the rest dont matter...right now... so we go back in to the mall after putting the bike in the car, and we watch bat-man, well, dont waste your money, cause it sucked!!!!!!!

and home at midnight to get some sleep, come saturday morning brian and i are up and functional and off to get a new helmet, and see whats happening around town... maria passed her conceiled handgun class, with a 98 on the written and like a 130-ish on the shooting, we are so proud of her!!!!

so brian and i go back to the house for pizza with chrissy and a time to plot the rest of the day....so time comes to go to james' house to do some riding, we get there and they are not back yet, so with further instruction from me, brian is off and riding his new bike, and he does great!!!!!

after james gets home he has a b-day present for brian too, a desert eagle, just like uncle james', only plastic, that shoots little 6mm plastic bb's, so we all have a lot of fun shooting bb guns at james house, and maria is getting to shoot better, we have definatly created a monster!!!!

well, i cant believe this, i just lost a good half hour of typing with all the details of saturday, and what a great day brian and i had with uncle james and aunt maria, so i am not gonna retype it, cause i am too lazy!!!, hahahah..

have a great day kids!!!

ahhh, updates!!!

hello Ken Fans, i have been a bad blogger and not updated my stuff in a while, well, not much has gone on really, i finally got a really cool gun again, its a magnum research lone eagle, in the old 30-06 cart, man, i tell you, between james' magnum research babie, the BFR and the desert eagle, and my lone eagle, we are like a commercial for magnum research, now my list of toys goes from a highpoint carbine, marlin .22 to the lone eagle, even picked me up a little "brian gun" a .22 longrifle german made rg-14 pistol.

not much happening on the work front, just cleaning up spills from thoughtless oil companies, oh, one update for you guys, the momma bob-cat has moved the babies to a field about 3/4 of a mile from where they were, and it was reported to me that the babies are growing really fast, i have no way to 4-wheel out to where they were spotted so no way to tell or update on a regular basis.


welp, i got up this morning just before 10 am, got my paycheck cashed, and went to see my lone eagle in the gun-hospital, where it was getting a simmons 2 to 6 power scope put on, and man, it sure is pretty, low profile heavy duty rings, and it is all ready to get-er-done, hopefully me and big brother can go site it in tomorrow, i got some new bullets, the sierra 150 grain boat tail full metal jacket, so i think i will have some good loads to group it with after i use the cheap stuff to site it in with.

one other update, the bunny at geronimo 15 site has had babies, she made her a little den under the well tank steps, and myself and another truck driver have been leaving little snacks for her on a regular basis, and her babies are little pink things, i didnt know that rabbits would breed really while its so hot out side, but i guess it didnt make much diff to her, so she is doing fine, i thought i might get some rabbit pellets and put a little out for her when i get water off the well site, we are having to get saltwater(or waste water) 2 times a day now, so i get to visit with her fairly often.

well, talked to my big bro this morning and he stated he is not feeling well, could be the dreaded summer cold, so i am kinda worried about that, he has been working some really late hours and i kinda wondered if it might catch up with him, he is just not used to that...... gettin old big bro! (HA)

ok kids, chrissy is just about ready to go to the movie, and after she goes to work its gonna be time to go to big brothers house to check on him and do some reloading, gotta load a few hundred 357 for tomorrow, and load up my 150 grain 30-06 bullets, so i am gonna be busy as a hen this afternoon... so much for a day off! hahahah, i guess the boss figured out that after a week of between 14 and 19 hours he better give me a few days break... so its weekend off for ken....

have a great time kids, and see you all on the next trip!!
