What are you getting for Father's Day?
« on: June 17, 2010, 10:36:37 AM »
My son who my wife and I never thought had a grateful/thoughtful bone in his body did something great today. He got me to apologize to him in front of someone for fussing at him. He put my name into a drawing at his orthodontists office for a $100 Bass Pro Shops gift card and my name was pulled.

Anyway his mother called me and said that they needed him urgently this morning at the orthodontists office to recheck something on the last x-rays. He was just sitting there and he knew what was up...so I lit into him about not getting ready to move quickly so we could go fast...after all they did say urgently!

I also got a micro tool set from my other two kids to work on some models that I am currently building and a new home theater setup custom installed in the new house from the wife. Talk about a nice weekend already.

I just installed motion sensor flood lights on the front of the garage. I need the wife and kids to go out and run back and forth under them so I can enjoy them now.  :D

I don't know what they plan to get me, but it can't be as cool as the flood lights I got for myself.  :x

I'm going fishing. Plan to be on lake before daybreak to pound the bass, and maybe try to raise a musky or two.
A good gift would be for the wife to not ruin my fishing trip.

I got 10 cubic yards of that; 2000 bricks;8 10 foot long railroad ties; 4 cubic yards of crushed stone and 4 cubic yards of sand for last Christmas, last years birthday, last years anniversary, this years valentines day and easter. My wife got 2 pallets of Z52 Zoysia and a crap load of full sun and drought resistant plants to put in the back yard for her birthday, anniversary, and Christmas.

My kids got me to take them fishing.  yes i had to pay for the boat ride, fishing license, rod rental and also have to buy their beer, and I have to pick them up and drive them home.  all 3 of them live in different places.  but I am not complaining, think is gonna be one hell of a father's day present to spend the day with them, even if i paid for it  :banana: :banana: :banana:.

This fathers day I will be leaving the Mother-In-Law's house.

Nuff said.

NEWSFLASH

The wife read my last post and is so angry that I am no longer invited to the In-Laws and now have to stay home alone all weekend with just the footie and AH for company.

Best Fathers Day ever? I think so!
