It's a big deal

Tomorrow my beloved Bobcats will take to the field to defeat the grizzlies of that other university in the state of Montana. This is a huge rivalry and like the 12th longest running one of all time. Or something like that. Wikipedia was no help.

The Montana State University Fighting Bobcats are ranked number one in the nation in the Football Championship Series (FCS formally know as division I-AA). The seventh ranked grizzlies come to Bozeman tomorrow to battle for the Big Sky Conference championship.

Tanaya, this is for you.

What's wrong with America

"Project Accessories" Are F******G kidding me? I quit blogging for six months and we've come to this? What a bunch of horseshit!!

Big Cat/griz game post tomorrow as I wait for sister, LP, to fly in from New Jersey.   Stay tuned. But then don
t get your hopes up. Afterall its just me.


My Bobcats are ranked #1 in the NATION for FCS.  And we play the hated dark pink and glitter this week. The griz are (over)ranked 7th. It will be an epic battle. I think the Cats are Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better then the homos in dark pink but never rule out a rivalry. Shit happens.

just some thoughts

Life is good. I wouldn't change where I am with anyone. I have a great family. I have the best friends. And I have you followers.  I said a while ago, I drink to much and sleep to little.  I'm not sad. I just remember when work was so slow I could post daily from my desk. Bwahahahha.

The bad part isn't that I don't post.  The bad part is that I don't read all of your great posts.

I leave for Wisconsin tomorrow for some training and I'm really looking forward to it.
I was looking for the scene from "Stripes" for the Wisconsin comment but all I could find was this.

 Ralph used the "lighten up Francis" line with me today. Only because he's in Nevada and knows I'd crush him like a bug.  Yeah. That's right. You say I'm not blogging and now when you read this I'm throwing you under the bus you little hobbit. What's that? You don't like it? Start your own blog then. Love you Ghoulies. I'll still crush you none the same.

Life is good. And might get better. Stay tuned. Thanks for reading. I do miss this so.

I miss this

So, life has changed for me. Different job, different responsibilities. I travel a lot. The hotel in Williston is an absolute dive. Showering barely makes me feel clean after sleeping in the sheets. I'm afraid I'll get a rash that there won't be a cure for.  I get home after driving 1500 miles in a week. I'm exhausted. The only thing I want to do is watch what I've DVR'd, drink some crown and go to bed.  I miss posting.  More than that, I miss reading all of your great posts. I'm in a horrible rut. I've become a selfish prick. Not caring if anyone reads this anymore, but still wondering why no one does.

I am have a great time with the new job. But the energy to post isn't there.

I think of all these great posts when I'm driving. About how much Obama is taking on us a path to self destruction and laughing his ass off all the way. How complacent America has become. How no one cares anymore. Yet when I get to my destination, I say nothing.

I don't read anything except the local paper. It infuriates me. Yet I don't post. I don't write letters to the editor. Probably because if you use the word "cocksucker" it won't be printed. But it looses it's context without it. Yes, I'm sure I can find a different word, but nothing would make the point as well.

I miss blogging. I miss all of you who I've never met but still read this crap.

I hate that the general public can't do math. Simple math.


100,000,000 people in America don't pay taxes. If they paid one dollar, that would me $100,000,000. If they paid $10 each it would be a billion dollars. If they paid $100 each it would be 10 billion dollars. Hey, I don't give a rats ass if you are making 35k a year. Thats $8.34 a month. If you can't afford that, then let me see how you are spending your money. I can save you that. Trust me.

Our current president can't add. He's a total empty suit, when he wears one. He has crippled this great nation.He upped the food stamp entilement program from $35k to $50k. I'm sorry. If you're a family of four and can't make it on 50k a year QUIT SMOKING.

I'm on a rant in case you can't tell.

Montana State is the second ranked football team in FCS. We have Weber State tomorrow. I won't be there, but the Cats will crush them and then humiliate the griz on November 19th. My sister Mary is flying out for her first Cat/griz game. It will be epic.

God bless you. You merry band of malcontents. Love you all.

Safe Journeys,

Chip

Brother Bill, Captain Mike and Me (lots of pictures)

Let the stories be told from on high.  Stories of men, battling the elements. Of obstacles most would think could not be accomplished by mere mortals. Stories of great deeds, heroic efforts and the kind of feats that you've only read about in story books.  This is not one of them.  Sorry. This is just a day on the river.

Back in May at the annual Citizens For Balanced Use fund raising banquet, I bought a guided fishing trip donated by my good friend Captain Mike.  I happened to catch Captain Mike at The Mint Bar in the proper state of mind to donate a day on the river.  "You donate the day Captain Mike and I will buy it."  He agreed that night and again the next day when the Absolut had worn off.

Don't bug me when I'm eating

It’s a tough world.  The challenges of the new job are formidable but I’m still liking it very much.  Having worked for one man for 17 years and having free reign on almost everything I did, it’s a challenge to have, well, rules.  I don’t mind the rules it’s just that there are a lot of them and no real manual.  Still the cooperation I’m getting when I need it is good and helping me to succeed. 

I drive to Williston, ND every other week.  475 miles one way and I only cross one state line. The crew here is in the same boat as I am. They are all new Titan employees as this location only opened in January.  The entire staff is great and they give my all the help I ask for.  There is also a former ABC employee here so that is a tremendous help as well.  All in all, good things.

Random thoughts #24

Things that crossed my mind while wondering if Ralph will ever admit I let him tie me in the alumni wrestling tournament. ( I could have crushed him, just for the record ).

1) I went to Salt Lake City to watch my beloved Bobcats play the Utes in both teams opening game.  The Cats gave up 17 quick points to the 28th ranked Utes and settled down to only lose 27-10.  This is game one of my "perfect season" with the Bobcats. I have every intention of being at every game.  As a season ticket holder the home games are a given. Every game is 6-7 hours driving distance from Bozeman with the exception of Portland State which I've take an extra day from work to drive to.  If you're a sports fan, keep track of this team. Something tells me this season is going to be special. That's why I'm going to every game.  I could be wrong and if I am, it will still be a great thing to do.
