A Better Rabbit Cage

Yesterday morning started off like any other day in theHouse of theMike and theFamily. We woke up, looked out the windows, and theElderSon noticed this:



Then we knew we would have a good day. Saturday night, as I lay in bed, groggy from the effects of a heel to the back of the head by theMiddleChild (story another time, but not intentional), theWife and theKids got a start on the next day's project:



theWife had been getting sick of how theRabbit's current area had been taken up space in her morning room. So she did a some googling and came up with the idea to build a better Rabbit cage using nic cubes. All we had to do Sunday was tighten down the zip ties and build the frame. I don't mean to brag, but I think we did a bang up job. Don't you?

Plane vs. Flock of Birds

TheBro-in-Law sent me along these pics. He's a pilot and last time he visited he was telling me that his roomate had been behing a plane that crashed during takeoff. Luckily noone was hurt!
These pictures illustrate what happens when a plane takes on a flock of birds.

Life Is Good

Once upon a time, theMike and theFamily moved into a house they could call their own, and life was good. theWife felt like something was missing however and added theOrangeCat to the mix and life was good. Again, something was still missing to theSuckler was acquired and life was good. A little while later theDog was added to the fray and life was still good. theMike and theWife then started to add landscape to theHouse, planting grass and trees....life was good.

But still an empty feeling tore at the pits of all of theFamily's stomachs for we all felt something was still missing. None of us could figure out what this missing element was, until it arrived on our doorstep via theFriends (B&S).

And once again, Life is Good.

Mac Parody

Remember a bunch of years ago, when iMacs first roared onto the seen, Apple had the whole switch campaign going. Someone brilliant created this Mac Parody based on those. And he's a mac user to boot.

You Have Got To Be Kidding Me

There is nothing more frustrating in Fantasy Football than to be the most consistant team in the league, and have a .500 record. A second straight loss has put me at 3-3. Can anyone tell me how I have a .500 record, but my team has more points than anyone else in my league? Huh? Anyone?
