TRUNK OR TREAT

WINNER!

That's right! Jerri won first prize in the Trunk or Treat decorating contest. She had the best trunk In the whole Church.

There was also a pumpkin carving contest.

And a cake walk.

And all kinds of games.


HAPPY HALLOWEEN

On Saturday we went to a real great Halloween party in Hesperia. It was just on the other side of the hills from our gold claim we call the stroller claim.
There was a haunted house, costumes,food and a great night of fun.

HELL DAYS


Almost every day has a story. Sometimes the stories are intense. On Saturday we went to a new restaurant called the Golden corral. It is the best restaurant we have ever been in. It is a steak buffet. There are three cooks flame grilling steaks right in front of you. They have the best chicken, shrimp, dessert and ribs.....oh no don't eat the ribs.  Three bites and I broke a tooth in half.



On Sunday I managed to pull out the broken half of my tooth with a pair of pliers in the garage.  After that I was no longer in any pain. On Monday I went to the dentist. The dentist told me that the tooth had to come out.

WATCH MY DENTIST







My dentist turned out to be a torture specialist from WW2.  She shoved a needle up into my brain. After my face was numb she tried to pull my jaw out of my mouth.It never came out. After the shot started to ware off she tried to pull some more. Oops. I can't give you any more so I guess you will have to come back and start over.  I don't think so. I had to go home with my tooth half way pulled out with enough pain killers for two weeks.  I have an appointment in two weeks for the oral surgeon. DUH.



Today I pumped up on drugs and went to Corvette Specialty to learn to buff and polish paint from the experts. I will be applying what I learn to our 737 Spoiler program. As soon as I get the process documented and approved I will travel back to Mexico to teach our painters in Guaymas.

While I was there I thought I should pick out my Corvette.

I think this one would be good for me.

My greenhouse is going crazy. Look at my first patty pan squash.

MOVING DAY

Stephen's moving day was finally here.

He is moving to Utah to be with Jenny and Levi.
Johnny came to help move with his truck.


Andy was there to help too.

Everything was loaded quickly and all three were headed to Utah.


Funny...They don't look Mormon!

We tried to talk him out of it.

**No....We really did**

OK...We will miss him.

Our Gnome has been busy.

WEEKEND FUN

I have never had the time to see much of Guaymas because we were always at the facility. This trip required me to stay through the weekend. Cristine and her sister Gabby were nice enough to join me on a cruse out of San Carlos marina.
The trip starts in front of the Marina Terra hotel where I usually stay while in Mexico.

The Captain is an American named Steve. I called him Captain Ron.
Did I mention that this was a Margarita cruse? For $30 US dollars you get a 2 1/2 hour twilight cruse with free flowing Margaritas, chips, salsa and great music.
I figured if I was going to be a tourist I should look like one.

This is the ocean side of a restaurant that I have eaten at on another trip. The seagulls dive at the open dining area looking for food people throw for them. There is a cockatoo perched high above the dining area. Watch your plate! 

A school of Dolphins joined along side us. Everyone was at the bow of the boat  to get a real close look.
There were as many as 7 Dolphins at one time around our boat. It's very hard to hang on to the side of the boat and take pictures after 5 Margaritas.I started to get dark so we finally headed back to the Marina.
We all had a great time and will be back again some day.

I FINALLY HAVE TO PROVE I'M THE PAINT SPECIALIST

Here I am getting ready to teach paint prep 101 with all my Hommies.
I am teaching how to sand Spoilers without causing a strain on your arms and wrist every day. There is Ergonomics in Mexico too.
Wasn't this guy in "Born in east LA"?
They all get a chance at sanding "my way"
You can't live by what people think you have done forever. Once in a while you have to shoot something. Did John Wayne say that in The Shootist?
Everyone gets a try at painting links for 737 spoilers.
