Hey I'm a squid...

Estelle Getty in the movie Mannequin.

"I don't care if Johnathan runs around the store at night naked with a rubber glove on his head yelling HEY I'M A SQUID"

Well that is at least how I felt this morning, a bit of rain, a lot of slop coming off the road. Oh well its better then driving.

Friday...
Well we had an extremely busy weekend. Due to hours cut backs at work I got Friday off........ There are times I really hate being a contractor. So to celebrate my new found Friday freedom I went shooting with my good buddy, Jason L. or as you all know him. Sgt Pezzer. I have happy to report I out shoot a ex-marine again. (for now) I am sure that at some pint this will pass, right around the time He can hit the slow rabbit.

Saturday...
Melissa (Wife) and I went back down to the Warrington Sporting Clays again, she got an assignment to shoot (camera) a wedding party that was shooting a 50 round on the course before the groom had to run off to get married. We should have pictures up soon on here and at

If you would like to see the pictures please message me and I will send you the gallery password.

We then stopped in a Java Junction for lunch, the Turkey and chipolitie panini was excellent. This will be the second time I got something from there that was good. If you are ever in the Wellsville PA area and would like to shoot a nice round of sporting clays or a good lunch I would highly recommend both.

After the photo shoot, and me getting to shoot 25 on the wobbler and 25 on the 5 stand, we went down to Melissa grandparents and had a snack with them. Melissa's grandfather was nice enough to jump some pigeons from the barn, and I am happy to report that all my wing shooting practice is paying off. :)

From the Grandparents house we headed over to Hershey to take some recon photos of founders hall, We are photographing a wedding over there in a few weeks and wanted to get a idea of the campus and where some good shoots could come from.

Sunday...
Sunday was busy as well, got to sleep in and suggle a bit with the wife, always a good time. We went up to my moms house and meet up with her for lunch, and then home for lots of cleaning and photo editing.

Ended Sunday with a very nice fish dinner with my wife.

Monday...

I need a day off from the weekend.

Cold wet ride into work, and trying to make some things right.

We are meeting with our Realtor this evening to look at some houses. Very excited about a few of these, lets hope for some luck.

Tires...
I'm having a hell of a time finding tires that don't die. It seems that no matter what smooth tread MT bike tire I get after about 5-6 weeks of riding the side walls start cutting. I have checked my rims and there is no sharp edges that could be causing it. I'm starting to get discouraged.






Green Tech...
EVO Beta is a wonderful site if you want to learn about green alternatives to everyday items. They are currently running a nice piece on solar pannels. If you would like to read up a bit and find out if its a option for your home. Please check out this site.

Pet of the Day...

Its a double trouble pet day here at the Shami.

Today's pet #1 of the day comes to us from the Myers family. Jestine Myers is an extremely close friend of mine from High School. Seems that her and her family went yard saleing this weekend and came home with a new puppy.



Our second pet is the new member of the Lopez family (Sgt. Pezzer).

Ahh, new puppys, what is it with spring and getting a dog?


Why Helmets Don't Suck...

I know, we have run it before, but its one of my favorites.
