So I'm stacking up some wood yesterday and come along this chunk of wood and I'm like..."Wow!" and thought to myself... I should save that... so I did. I stuck it out on the front steps and when I saw DellMarie next I told her about the cool piece of wood she needs to go check out... she comes back in and says, "yeah? So what?"... so I figured she is spawn of the devil and filled with hate... you decide if this is worthy of at least a "yeah, that's cool man" or not. Here it is.... Some other pics from the afternoon...
So... final touches on the TomTEN lineup are being made... yet to be determined if we'll have new additions to the lineup... but promises to have a few suprises. If I haven't announced it yet... TomTEN goes down JULY 17... be there and bring a friend!
And finally... the song of the week goes to.... Deer Tick (since it's that time of year)... with Easy.
What the hell. So May 7th, my birthday, brings a freakin' snowstorm... we got like 2+ inches that stuck on the ground... so if it was actually cold enough where the first 2 inches didn't melt on contact, we would have had 4+ inches of snow... May 7th.... only in Minnesota... I'm not complaining though... keeps things interesting... could you imagine living in Arizona... today it was 88 degrees. Tomorrow it will be 87 degrees. This weekend it will be 88 degrees again....ugh. One of these pictures is during the day of the snow and one is at night after it really started to stick as you can faintly see in the background.
So DellMarie and I watched a little CSI Miami tonight and I came up with a great drinking game for that show... If you've ever watched it... Horatio Cane, the lead detective dude played by David Curruso of NYPD Blue fame, has a tendency of saying a dramatic line, putting on sunglasses and then walking off the camera shot. Example.... Cane says,"The verdict is in Frank, (puts on sunglasses) but the jury is out." and then he walks off screen... every freakin scene he does ends this way... If you took a drink every time this happened you wouldn't be awake to see the end of the show.
So I decide to YouTube it and there is a plethera of Heratio Cane one-liners but the best part is that there is a bunch of folks contributing their own... like "Sir, there was semen found on the victim's lips. CANE: "Sometimes the truth (puts on sunglasses) is hard to swallow." or "Sir we found the victim's penis in a jar of peanut butter. CANE: "Well you could say (puts on sunglasses) he was fucking nuts." Check it out... hilarious. Play the game too - you'll be like teenage wasteland... "We're all wasted!"
Alright, so song of the week goes to The Swell Season... "Low Rising"... diggin' ths soulfullness of this one...
Yup... just 5 weeks until SKOOLS OUT FOR SUMMER!!! It'll go by like a blink of an eye... and so will summer. So, haven't been doing much lately... preparing for the gardening season and TomTEN. I mentioned to the kids at school that I'm looking to buy a PortaPotty and they were all very curious as to why... and one of my All-Stars says, "Why didn't you just ask us to steal you one... you know we're bad kids." So I'll be working up the official logo for TomTEN this week... again, we're rocking it on JULY 17... mark your calendars with ink!
So this week I'll throw down a quick Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down (thanks to C. Strehlo)

Alright, so if you are a avid DOOW reader, you'll notice I updated my 5 tunes... and you'll obviously get the theme. So with that, the song of the week goes to Hank Williams III with a live version of "Country Heros"... check it out.
