The Late Inflate


It's been 8 months since my last inflate and now two of my closest friends have been "late." That's right 2 people "knocked up" in under 8 months. There have been stars gained and weight lossed, temple recs earned and temple recs... well you get the picture. Barriers have been torn down and fences have been put up. 2010 the year of the goat or is it the lamb, not really sure I'm only half Asian. I do know the year is flying by and the bitter sting of Idaho winter will soon be upon us. Where to start, guess I should start with a recap. There was a christmas party with some liqure, and two mormons who needed to release all the pressure their lives have brought them. I know what your thinking, who is it who is it. Well of course I'm going to tell you, no secrets here on the couch. It was Jennie and Todd, that's right boozing it up at the Christmas party, and you know what? I have never seen them happier. They were so happy they drove home (bad) did some cookies, hopped on the good foot, did the bad thing and got prego. Congrats to Jennie and Todd for the little one on the way. Early in the year, we lost our dear goathead to the loan dept. 6 weeks later goathead returned to his home at the Alameda branch. I joined a gym with some friends and Racquetball began. Racquetball is a very unique sport that I never really gave consideration too. It's got everything a person loves about any sport and puts it all together. Most people see racquetball and think Tennis. First, the only thing Racquetball has in common with tennis is a racket and a ball. Tennis requires years of practice and professional traing to be able to play without chasing that stupid ball all over the court. Now Racquetball lets you walk in as a complete newb and hit that ball as hard as you can and the other person HAS to go get it. It's also the only sport where you can hit your friend with a 150MPH ball and the only thing that happens is a REDO. It's great for friendships and excercise however, not so good on your back. If there is one thing racquetball has taught me, it's that I'm old. What kind of crazy idea is stretching before activity? A very good one turns out, my old age has been defeating by a bit of stretching. That's right ladies no more $50 bottle of face dewrinkle cream. Just stretch!!!!

Sometime between last Septmember and June, Justin AKA the Goathead. Remember no secrets.... has become comfortable enough as my friend to start asking me for things. "hey Ty the O2 senser in my car is blown""Hey Ty, the Mazda isn't running well" "Hey Ty I think the Mazda needs it's brakes fixed" "Hey Ty I think I'm 8 months over due for an oil change" Hey Ty I just got 8 grand and I need to build a fence can you help?" Sure Justin, what do you mean by help? "Means about 15 hours of hard labor in 90 degree heat" Oh sure!!!! "Hey Ty my computer is all messed up can you help?" Wow Justin that is a lot of favors, what can you do for me Justin? "Well you know Ty I can do you the best favor possible" Oh yeah whats that Justin? "Find me a pool and I'll show you"........... It seems its the same song and dance everytime... In the world where Stars and Merrits reign supreme, there is nothing greater than having a baby. It now seems the goathead as concieved his first child and we are 9 months away from the next chapter.

What's to come.....? Well if you ask my wife she will say baby making overtime. I feel for her, she has been wanting to be a mom for 5 years now, she has had some miscarriages in her first marriage and it's her time. I'm also taking a trip to SLC with 5 mormons, so stay tuned for the next inflate.
