Saturday Morning Rambling

Here I sit on a quiet Saturday Morning, Michelle is still sleeping and Josh is away working, so I am the only one up at this hour. I'm up collecting my thoughts for the day and watching South Park and collecting my thoughts for the day and contemplating writing multiple blogs today because this is a big weekend.

Michelle and I went to West Virginia Mountain Fest yesterday, this is my first time attending this Festival and it was a good time. I ran into Smitty and his daughter Emily as well as a few other friends at the event. Hank Williams Jr was the headline act last night and he did not disappoint. He was actually sober this time...lol

Tonight, George Thorogood takes the stage and this is the reason I wanted to go to Mountainfest. I saw him back in the mid 80's in Fairmont and to this day I will say that was the loudest concert I have ever been to. My ears were ringing all the way back to Morgantown. I've always been a big George Thorogood fan and I'm ready to party down tonight.

Have a great day today, we plan on it.

Big Ole Hairy Friday

Yes it is once again that time of the week that we all look foreword to, when we can take time to cease the labors for the week and take a little bit of needed time out to enjoy the fruits of those labors. It is once again the dawn of another weekend, and a Big Ole Hairy Friday!!!

First and foremost, WV Mountainfest is going on right now and I heard one of the Sheriff's Deputies anticipate 50,000 people attending the Festival this weekend. Ted Nugent takes the stage at 8:00 tonight and Big and Rich taking the stage tomorrow night. With so many people bikers visiting this weekend, please I can't emphasize enough to drive a little more cautiously and safely and anticipate additional traffic around town.

We had another day off yesterday so after cleaning up from the tailgate the night before, we decided to take a little drive and find the site where Skylar Neese's body was found. This is the second time we have been there, the first was on the anniversary of her Murder and then again yesterday. Last year Dave and Mary were there with us as well, this year we were there alone.

After leaving there we stopped at the Pedlar Wildlife Reserve on our way home and grabbed a few pictures as Michelle got her feet wet and played with the fishes. It was a relaxing end to a couple of days off before we embark on our 1 day workweek today =)

Hi ho hi ho

Back to Work

Well all good things must come to an end, and that includes those fun filled things (not so much this weekend) that we call weekends. It's time to put our noses back on the grindstone for another fun filled week of work (or at least for a couple of days).

Wednesday is the Buffett Concert, so I'll be taking a couple of days off this week while attending this event. So my workweek will consist of two on, two off and party, one more on and then another weekend so this week should be pretty bearable to say the least.

Hopefully Michelle feels a little better today, she took a little bit ill yesterday afternoon and wasn't feeling very well. I had to run back to WalMart to pick up a few things we forgot and by the time I got back home she was in the restroom and not feeling very well at all. I hope she feels better, we'll know when she wakes up I guess.

I called Val yesterday to talk about plans for the concert Wednesday, but it seems poor little Joshy has sprained his ankle and they had taken him to the Emergency Room to see about his ankle. As of the time of this blog (or at least when I wrote it), there has been no word on his condition. Young boys will be young boys, he hurt it sliding down a fire pole at a district carnival.

My Nephew Daniel had talked about coming in this weekend, but I guess he got a little sidetracked and didn't appear to be able to make it.

A word of caution once again to all residents of Morgantown and for those visiting this week. WV Mountainfest once again embarks on Morgantown and the surrounding areas. This means that there will be much heavier than normal traffic of the two wheeled variety as many Motorcyclists will stop by our town for a visit. Please for your own safety and for the safety of our visitors this week be very cautious when driving around town. No one wants to see anyone injured due to someone not paying attention. Leave yourself a little extra time when trying to get around our town and for those of you attending, have a great time.

Big Ole Hairy Friday

Mountainfest 2013

Yes it is once again that time of the week that we all look foreword to, when we can take time to cease the labors for the week and take a little bit of needed time out to enjoy the fruits of those labors. It is once again the dawn of another weekend, and a Big Ole Hairy Friday.

Well in case you have not noticed, we have some increased traffic here in Morgantown the past couple of days and I would safely assume it's going to get a little heavier today and tomorrow before people start to pull out and head back home on Sunday or Monday.

Once again please use a little more caution than normal with all the bikers around town the next few days. Don't want to see any unnecessary and avoidable accidents, share the road and plan to take a few extra minutes to get where ever it is you are going around town.

I'll be at home this weekend as Michelle is heading home tonight to spend some time with her friend Holly and then going to her niece Abby's Sweet 16 Birthday Party and Bonfire tomorrow night before returning home Sunday. I'll be home holding down the fort.

Hi ho hi hoi

Mountainfest

All right all you motor cycle enthusiasts around Morgantown, now is the start of the 2013 WV Mountainfest and that means that there will be a whole lot of visitors here this weekend.

If you are out in a car, once again please use a little nit of extra caution this week, give yourself  couple of extra minutes to get to where you are going and drive safely. We don't want to see anyone injured due to someone not paying any attention.

There is going to be a lot of good music coming to town, highlighted by Joan Jett. With her will be Foghat, The Guess Who, Three Dog Night and Jackyl at the main stage at Mylan Park.

Michelle's Company BFS is sponsoring the (gratuitous plug) BFS Poker Run. During the run bikers will pay visit to five area stores to grab their card from each store. The best hand wins $1,500 and the worst hand (see you do get something for being the worst) wins $500.00. Not too bad for having the worst hand and driving around the area on your motorcycle. It all starts today at 1:00 when they open up Camp Mountainfest and allow bikers to set up their camps.

The coal bucket saloon starts off the music today with the following schedule

July 24	5:00 – 8:30pm	DJ – Baltimore Sound
	8:30 to 11:30	Bad Mother Trucker – Sponsored by Jack Daniels
	12 to 12:30 am	Bag Lady Sue – Sponsored By RG Honda – Yamaha
	12:30 to Close	DJ – Baltimore Sound
Hi ho hi ho

Monday Morning

All good things must come to an end and that even includes nice long four day weekends where there was a whole lot of fun to have been had. Now it's time to put the shrimp kabobs away and stick our noses back on the grindstone for another fun filled week of work.

It was such a good and relaxing weekend, I decided to put a nice picture up from our weekend. Every weekend should be this fun filled.

Looking at the week ahead, Morgantown is preparing for their yearly motorcycle invasion as we are a few days away from MountainFest. Morgantown will see thousands of Harley Davidson enthusiasts coming to town starting Wednesday.  Please be extra careful and pay a little closer attention to the bikers this weekend, we don't need anyone getting injured because someone wasn't paying attention.

Time to get this workweek started.
