In case anyone didn't believe me when I said
"Fin opens our refrigerator"
Pictorial Proof!

6.27 & 1/2.09

Sorry for the blurry pics - batteries in the camera are on their last legs...
Here I am at 3:26 in the A.M.
Scratching my head wondering why the hell I listen to my wife...
She wakes me up and wanted shrimp...
So I say, what the hell... there is no time like the the present
when you are rollin' Summer of Wayne style.
And there are no rules baby.


So here is the shrimp frying up
Ooohh, it was good.
If the picture turned out you would notice the stove clock at 3:something....
Rockin'!

Just like Tom Robinson busting up the old chifferobe,
I busted up the old couch.
Then we burned it.
How hillbilly is that?
Now we don't have a couch.
Time to go couch shopping I guess.

And in a new twist to "The Summer of Wayne II" -
Whoever can respond first with
where my reference in the first line of this post comes from,
you win a
Drunkards of Ole Wrenshack T-shirt!
No kidding.
And if you don't know, you can't go looking it up on the
INTERNET!
No cheating.

A Supplement To The 6.23.09 Summer of Wayne


Like a dumbass, I took the video with my cheap-ass camera the upright?? way so you are looking at this sideways....
Anyway, it was hot as hell - 90+ today and about 99.6% humidity so I decided it was a great day to shoot off the old water rocket... you get wet doing it so a nice way to cool off.... need plans??? Let me know - make one for like $10.
So the Summer of Wayne pic above is right before launch... couldn't get one as she was spraying out.... I tried... Lord, I tried!

The INK Experience - There Will Be Blood

So DellMarie and I are just about ready to head out to the big INK (our friend's tattoo shop) 3rd Anniversary party - when this happens....

We have a big old - and I mean OLD - thermometer hanging in the house and the bottom is sharp and jagged and Bella (one of our dogs) got in DellMarie's way and she bumped into the thermometer, sending if off the wall like a freakin' guillotine for her toe. There was lots of BLOOD... so much so, DellMarie thought she was going to faint.... she hates blood though.... but like a trooper, she wrapped the thing up and we hit the party in Superior.Here is DellMarie and Carrie talking about the prospect of having half a toe and Carrie's puffy finger. What?

Why all the crazy "fantasy" art on the walls? I'll get to that in a second.

A unicorn Skull

So in addition to the Anniversary Party for INK - there was also a "Fantasy Art Throwdown Competition" - hence all the stuff on the wall - there were sasquatch pictures, a song someone wrote called "the Gnome" if I remember right, a couple other prints, etc. The most intruiging piece was titled "Fantasy" which was mostly a sexual fantasy thing with the guy in it buck-ass naked and some lady stroking carrots with lube of some sort and eventually they end up going doggy-style with her having a HUGE, what looked like, Buffalo head - which in talking about it, I found out it was an old masscot head of some sort.... anyway, it ends with the "moneyshot" put right on a picture of one of INK's tattoo artists that was taken while he was wearing these big, thick glasses that "made him look like he had Down's Syndrome"! It sounds insane but it actually was quite entertaining.
DellMarie and Carrie watched it 3 times - me? Only twice.
Anyway, the above picture is our friend, Gezus, announcing the winner of the contest. I was even selected to be one of the three judges for the big event... wow. Did we go with the "Fantasy" video? No... that got second place.... the Unicorn sculpture (not the skull - the one hanging on the wall) took home the big prize... you can see it in the pics above... and in third was the two wizards - which I also found out was supposed to contain a rendition of a vagina but the artist ran out of time, so alas, no vagina.
The third place was picked out of a hat due to a 4-way tie.... all nice stuff.

A picture of the gang... Gezus and Jill are the two on the right - owners and tattoo artist respectively of INK - need a tattoo - check them out!

And finally, my beautiful wife and a sweaty me... it was hotter than hell in there.... 80+ outside last night at 8:00... and I'm guessing 90+ inside the shop.
Her sock was all bloody when we got home.... just thought you'd like to know that. Do you think we could sell the chunk of her toe on Ebay when it falls off? Oh, they have that darn "no body parts" policy...
~Cheers~

Fucking rabbits.
Chewed the shit out of my bean (above) and pea plants.
See any leaves? NO!
Fucking rabbits.

I officially filled up the change jug...
I can probably fit two more dimes in there but she's full!!
The jug contains nothing but dimes, nickles and pennies.
The box below contains all quarters.
I'm thinkin' we're toppin' out at close to $175.
Tomten Funds!

You Want My Sunglasses???

Hey, hey... the first week of the "Summer of Wayne Volume II" in the books.... this is a pic that didn't make the cut.... wonder why? Those are Noel Misgen Original Mirrored Sunglasses I'm sporting there.... so be jealous... its OK.

Anyway, I woke up today and wondered what the hell day it was... then I thought, who gives a shit.... does it really matter? Sunday, Tuesday, Friday... its all the same to me when you are on the Summer of Wayne schedule!

So on a philosophical note...
I would say that I could certainly make a bunch more money and, I suppose, argue that I could be a bit more productive to "society" but I'm thinking when I'm on the ole deathbed I'm certainly not going to be wishing I spent more time trying to earn more money rather than enjoying life, my wife, my dogs and Minnesota summer days.
To that, I say, DINGWOP!

Oh, almost forgot, by far the funniest Youtube video I have EVER seen! My buddy at work showed this to me and we watched it like 39 times - I was dying.... a must see.... holy crap! There is a bunch of swears in it so turn your volume down if you are viewing it at work! Just fair warning. I work at a school and I watched it there.... not sure what that says about me but.... you have to check it out...

Spent a part of the day working on a special project... don't want to give it away...
you'll see it at the big Tomten 09.
That dirt you see on the left - not part of the plan - damn dogs - won't matter though.

Out for dinner and drinks with this old man last night - DellMarie's Dad! Christ, I thought I would have to carry those two out of the joint... and Bob wanted to stay for about 4 more cocktails.... DellMarie finally said, "No Dad, we have to go!"
For being almost 83 years old, the dude can sure pour 'em back with the best of 'em.
That's my whiskey 7 in the foreground in case you were wondering!

6.8.09

Here's the deal... I won't post much in the way of explaining the pictures in the Summer of Wayne II Pictorial unless I feel the need.... simple... a picture a day. No more. No less. So here is the first installment of 2009....


Woke up this morning to 36 degrees and raining. It has warmed up to a big 39 right now... we even had to fire up the woodstove to take the chill off.... hope this isn't an omen of what is to come this summer. So a picture of the big ass puddle in the driveway with a drop of rain coming down ...ugh. DellMarie claims I have some adverse affect on the weather - she says it can be nice out and then when I come home from work it turns sour... today is no exception. Do I need a part time job.... "YES!", said my wife emphatically, "because I need to work on my tan!"
