Bank Project

This is another current project.  A small bank in Comanche, Oklahoma.

This drawing and those I posted the other day are not drawings that I did.  The architects prepared these and use them to give the owner, and me, an idea of what the project will look like.

Crazy Animals

Did anyone hear about the rabid otter attacking a 96 year old Florida man?

What about the raccoon attacking a man and his daughter in Los Angeles?

Certainly you heard about the orca attacking and killing the handler at Sea World?

None of it funny when people truly are injured or killed.  However, comedian Tim Bedore believes there is a conspiracy among animals to attack humans.  Check out his Vague But True website.  He has several stories about animal attacks.  Also, check out his Vague but True commentaries.  Hilarious.

Saturday

Worked all day yesterday.  Designing the structural framing for a cancer center in Ardmore.  Tricky stuff by the architect that if I can figure out how to make it work will look pretty cool.  Hope the owners have the $$ to keep it in the project.

Photos of the architectural renderings are kinda small, but hopefully you can get a sense of what the building will look like.  If you click on each photo, you should be able to get an enlarged version if you want.

Kelsey, Jeremy and I had dinner at Louie's in Stillwater.  First time I have eaten there.  Neat place.  Good burger although I think their fries are way too skinny.  Maybe these are shoestring fries?  Dunno, but you have to grab three or four to feel like you actually put a fry in your mouth.  Jeremy ate the club sandwich, which looked pretty good.  Kelsey ate a black bean veggie burger. 

We went to the house after dinner and played some of the Wii games that Kelsey bought and the usual Wii sports game.  Monkey Ball and an amusement park game needed nunchuks for several games.  We only have two nunchuks so didn't play those.  Guess we need to invest in a couple more nunchuks. 

I got the wireless set up on the Wii.  Jeremy checked out the weather forecast and some sports news on the Wii.  Maybe we can download some games from the Wii site, or whatever you do with the wireless on Wii.  hee hee.

Sitting at the office again continuing to work on that Ardmore project.  Debbie and Megan are coming home today.  yay!!

Later.

Strange Radio

Driving to work this morning listening to the Bob and Tom show on the radio.  They are having guests on their show later this morning from a store called the Naked Monkey.  The women will vagazzle someone live on the air.  Good grief.  LOL

New Hoopty

I've been thinking about getting a pickup.  Waiting to see how this year is going to start before committing to another vehicle payment.  Anyway, I was surfing the www during lunch and spent a few minutes checking out various new and used auto websites.  Found this photo in one of the search results.  Whatta hoopty, huh?

Kinda hard to figure out what all is going on there.  Looks like a customizing gone bad.  Used to be a four door car.  Funky paint job.  Big, rusted out areas on the fenders and doors.  Chains holding things together. Strange looking side mirror configuration on the front fender.  Cannot figure out what is bolted or chained to the trunk lid.  But one thing for sure, that roll bar won't matter much if that thing rolls over.  Gotta wonder how big the smoke cloud is when it starts up.  And, gotta wonder how it just does not simply disintegrate going down the road?  Hilarious.

In case you wondered what "hoopty" means, this is from the online Urban Dictionary:  hoopty

Bad language alert if you scroll way down toward the bottom of the definitions.  :o

Lazy Sunday

Sunday was a day of relaxing after working 13 days straight.  Started watching NCIS episodes on DVD around 9 a.m. and stopped between 6 and 7 p.m.  Good stuff. 

Little brother, David, called asking if I was interested in going to an IRL race in Kansas City on May 1.  That will be fun.  Megan graduates from OSU the next weekend on May 8.

Debbie cooked a bunch over the weekend.  On Saturday, she grilled some great NY strips and had turnip greens, baked beans and apple pie.  Didn't know she liked turnip greens, but I sure do.  She cooked a ham yesterday with green beans and scalloped potatoes.  Sure am lucky she's a great cook. 

Anyone see the internet story about archaeologists finding a giant granite head of the Pharoah, Amenhotep? Pretty cool stuff.  Yes, Tara.  Nerd alert!!

Have a great Monday.

Outta the Ditch

Here ya go, Karen.  ;)

By the way, if you want to see something completely different, Google "Hedda Lettuce" images and check out the Wikipedia description.  This won't veer the bus into the ditch but definitely might drive across a few of the rumble strips on the shoulder of the road...
