A new member of the house

On Saturday we added a new member to our family. We purchased Tuck, he is a Russian Tortoise. I converted my bottom fish tank into a new home for him. He is kind of a boring a pet as he just lays there mostly, but Tanis wanted him. I voted for a lizard, but Tuck won out. He is fun in the fact that we are learning a lot about him, like he can live up to 75 years, and should be taken outside on warm days. We are in the early planning stages for building a deck on the pool this year. I hope to have it done no later than the middle of June. We are planning on going to the Motor City Comic Con on Saturday May 17th. We need to replace our dragon door bell as somebody stole it. I don't know anything else we will be looking for, but we should have some fun. Love ya guy.

Robert Pancost Memorial Golf Outing

The golf outing is Saturday June 21st. That is all I have been told so far. I am looking forward to it, and plan on getting on the course. I don't know if I will be in a foursome with mom or make up my own. I think that it is pretty cool. Pistons were spanked last night in Philly, but the Wings are currently winning. Things are going well. Love ya guy.

What is new?

Since my last post the Red Wings finished the first round with a win. The Pistons managed to lose game one, but won game two. The Tigers beat the Rangers 19 to 6 last night. The Tigers have been struggling, but maybe they have decided to hit like they should. The Wings will face the Avalanche in the next round. I have been working out this whole week, today was just riding, 14.6 miles and 706 calories. I am down 2 pounds since Monday. On Tuesday I took my car in to have the brakes looked at, I thought the rotor needed turned. Wrong!!! I needed front and rear brakes, and 2 tie rods replaced. It was a little more expensive than I thought. Work is going okay, and Kellie and I are getting along pretty well. She went with me last Friday to uncle Davids viewing. Yesterday mom told me that the Lansing Jaycees are going to have a Robert Pancost Memorial Golf Outing, I don't know when it is, but I am looking forward to it. Love ya guy.

2 Weeks?

Has it been two weeks? I guess so. I haven't been lacking in things to tell you, just time. I guess I will tell you the worst first, uncle David was killed in a car accident on Tuesday morning. They think he may of had a heart attack which caused him to veer off the road and hit a tree. The funeral is on Saturday, and I am not sure if I will be able to make it or not. Hockey playoffs have started, Detroit won the first 2 but have dropped the last 2. You know the Wings if they make it past the first round they should do well. The Tigers are off to a horrible start, but they beat Cleveland last night. Basketball playoffs start this weekend. They say the 2 best teams are Boston and Detroit, but we will have to see how it goes. I was flying a kite with Tanis last night, but he decided to run towards it and that caused it to crash into the neighbors tree. After a lot of tugging I was able to get it down. I found the part for the pool I gave you. The part that is very important when it comes to draining the pool. We ordered new storm doors for the deck and the garage. They are cool because as the window slides down a screen rolls out so you don't have to pull windows out or anything. They are being installed on Saturday. I have been doing well on my diet and I have worked out for the last 2 weeks like I should. I even got up at 5:15 Saturday morning to ride before the sales meeting. We considered buying a Great Dane, but the father was 175 pounds, and I think that is big even for a Great Dane. Work is work, we are getting ready for the line change in about a month. Love ya guy.

What is going on?

The men's team lost the sweet 16 game. Actually they got spanked by 21 points. The hockey team lost in the second round. The girls are in the final game of the NIT. Both the Pistons and the Wings are in the playoffs. The Tigers have lost their first 2 games, I know it is a long season, but they lost to the Royals.
Mom is going to Florida with Janis and the kids. She is leaving Saturday. I think she is looking forward to it.
Work is gearing up for the busy season. We just completed our order for the new line up.
Last night Kellie and Tanis went to a basketball game at the high school. it was a Harlem Globetrotter type team, he had a lot of fun. He won an autographed basketball and poster. For Christmas we got him a leapster game system, and he has been having a lot of fun learning letters and what not. I have been having trouble teaching him some things because he is definitely choosing to be left handed. It was hard to teach him to cast a fishing pole and even writing because he wants to mimic the right hand. Otherwise things are busy and hectic.
I haven't posted for awhile because i have been trying to come to terms with a couple things. When I was at church on Easter Sunday I got really mad at you. It took me a bit of reflection to realize why. I remember we had to go to the early service last year because you and mom were coming to visit, but that wasn't going to happen this year. I was definitely angry at you, I miss talking to you in person. I thought about being on the deck and talking about the NCAA tourney or whatever might have come up. Our time together was always so hurried that it was almost impossible to just relax and talk about whatever. I guess it always comes back to all of the things we should have done. I know i wasn't the best son in the world. You let me go experience life and tries to save me from making mistakes you made. I always thought I knew better than you, but I see now that you taught me so much. I miss you. love ya guy.
