HEY REXMAN

I GOT A CALL ON MY CELL PHONE A FEW DAYS AGO.

 ”HEY, REXMAN”

“I’M GONNA LAY OVER IN VEGAS ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY, CAN YOU COME UP?”

IF YOU’RE FROM MY FRANKVILLE LIFE, YOU ALREADY KNOW HOW THIS BLOG IS GOING TO GO……

THERE IS ONLY ONE PERSON THAT CALLS ME, “REXMAN”…….

YUP, MY FRANKVILLE BEER DRINKING PARTNER, DANNY BECKER.  SO IF YOU’RE FROM FRANKVILLE AND YOUR EARS WERE BURNING SUNDAY NIGHT, IT WAS DANNY AND I TALKING SMART ABOUT YOU.

WE GOT ALL CAUGHT UP ON OUR FAMILIES, AND TOLD EACH OTHER 25 YEAR OLD WAR STORIES. WE EACH DRANK ABOUT 20 BEERS, AND NEVER ONCE GOT SLAPPED DOWN OR ARRESTED. ARE WE FINALLY GROWN UP?

SO WHAT’S DANNY BECKER UP TO THESES DAYS?

YOU CAN TAKE THE BOY OUT OF THE TRUCK, BUT YOU CAN’T TAKE TRUCK’N OUT OF THE BOY.

DANNY OWNS, OPERATES, AND DRIVES FOR BECKER TRANSPORT LLC. ALSO, OUT OF AN OFFICE IN HIS NORTHEAST IOWA COUNTRY CABIN, HE MANAGES  A CAR BROKERAGE BUSINESS, BASICALLY ON THE INTERNET, TO MOVE CARS AROUND THE NATION.

DANNY, MY FRIEND, IT WAS A GREAT TIME, LET’S DO IT AGAIN, BUT NOT NEXT WEEK, MY HEAD NEEDS SOME TIME TO HEAL FROM ALL THAT BEER DRINKING…..

GO PACKERS !!!

GO PACK !!!

The Best Part of Sunday’s Game

We have friends  from Wisconsin that have been in the same RV park we stay at.  We have been friends with them for several years and usually spend game day at Spirit Mountain watching the Packers.

They are both x-ray techs for pipeline companies so they have worked all over the country.  This year they decided to buy a house here so for the game we were invited to their new house.  Very nice!!

Meatballs and were they yummy!!

Bratwurst and kraut in crescent rolls!

 

Quite a spread we had!

We stopped at the store on our way to the game, Rex checked to see if they still had limburger cheese.  He wasn’t going to get any until I mentioned that Dawn likes it too.  They funny part of that story is that Dawn bought some  because she knew Rex likes it. Don’t know how we missed a picture of that.  I don’t know why we didn’t take any pictures of their house and beautiful pool and hot tub either. 

Too busy watching the game and eating I guess.  But at least the right team won!!  Can’t hardly believe the Packers are Super Bowl bound!

SUPER BOWL BOUND !!!

“WE’RE GO’IN TO THE SUPER BOWL”

“WE’RE GO’IN TO THE SUPER BOWL”

I THOUGHT DA BEARS WERE JUST TOY’IN WITH US IN THE LAST REGULAR SEASON GAME. THE GAME DIDN’T MATTER TO THEM ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.  YOU KNOW ROLL OVER, LET THE PACK WIN, AND THEN WATCH THEM GET BEAT IN THE FIRST GAME OF THE PLAY-OFFS LIKE LAST YEAR, WHILE THEY TOOK THE WEEK OFF.  IN RETROSPECT I THINK THEY WOULD HAVE USED A DIFFERENT GAME PLAN AND KEPT THE PACK FROM EVEN GETTING TO THE PLAY-OFFS.

“WE’RE GO’IN TO THE SUPER BOWL”

“WE’RE GO’IN TO THE SUPER BOWL”


LAST WEEK ONE DAY AT WORK, WHEN MARY AND I WERE BOTH ON BREAK, I ASKED HER TO SEARCH HER WALLET AND SEE IF I HAD A SPORTSBOOK TICKET ON THE PACKERS TO WIN THE SUPER BOWL.  IT’S BEEN OUR CUSTOM OVER THE YEARS TO BET ON THE PACKERS TO WIN THE SUPER BOWL IN THE SPRING, USUALLY WHEN WE GO TO VEGAS TO CELBRATE MARY’S BIRTHDAY.

SHE JUST KINDA ROLLED HER EYES, AND SAID IF I HAD BET ON THE PACKERS, WHY WOULD THE TICKET BE IN MY WALLET?  I DON’T KNOW? JUST LOOK WILL YA?

SURE ENOUGH I BET $20 WITH A $5 COUPON FROM THE VEGAS CLUB. A $25 BET WITH 12:1 ODDS, SO WHEN THE PACKERS WIN THE SUPER BOWL THE TICKET IS WORTH $325.00 !!!  TEAM LOYALTY PAYS OFF! (AT LEAST I HOPE IT WILL)

“WE’RE GO’IN TO THE SUPER BOWL”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

OVER THE YEARS WE’VE USED THE BLOG TO WISH HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBERS.  TWO YEARS AGO I SAT DOWN ONE DAY AND DID THE BIRTHDAY POSTS FOR THE WHOLE YEAR USING THE SCHEDULER TOOL FROM GOOGLE.

LAST YEAR I DELEGATED THE TASK TO MARY.  THIS YEAR I’M WISHING YOU ALL A HAPPY BIRTHDAY TODAY!!!  NO BIRTHDAYS TO REMEMBER THIS YEAR.

SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVEYBODY FOR 2011, INCLUDING ME.
