Dave and I met on the Great Lakes Relay. He's a pretty cool cat and on Day 3, when we were on our way to the finish, Dave got stung by a yellowjacket (I think). Once we got to the finish, he got stung again as we were getting out of the car.

There used to be this hill on the East side of the playground that we would have a lot of fun on

We would make little tracks and race monster trucks down it.

Chad was for some reason really cool because he was really into cars and trucks and I think he used to bring lots of monster trucks to play with.

But for some odd reason they did not like the fact that we would play on this hill for fear that kids probably would roll down and hurt themselves.

Eventually they fenced off this part of the playground.

It sucked.

It also sucked how you would get in trouble if you went in the woods.

Very overprotective rules. Just let the kids be! I remember playing lots of hide and seek type games in those woods at Burt in after school hours.

What do you remember from this Hill Chad and other Burt people?

One year, my family and I drive a very long drive down to Florida in
Naples to see my grandma and all decide to drive even more to Key
West. Sandy also met up with us on this trip, of which I will post
at a later time.

But this particular memory involved a boat outing for a glass bottom
boat.

It sounded like a wonderful idea, so my parents paid for our seat and
we get out to this area where there was tons of beautiful fish and
things. Then the boat stopped and the waves began to control the
boat, sliding it up and down. Within minutes, I exited the room and
"got some fresh air". I was the first person who exited.

Minutes after that, my mom exited and barfed over the edge of the
boat. I simply laid down on the floor and sucked it up.

Sooner later, more and more people we outside catching more air and
spewing more and more. It was disgusting.

The final "survivors" were my grandma Renne and a small child who
enjoyed every minute of it.

There were probably more fish . . . Read More..

Noel and I are actually really good with audio setup and take a lot of precautions not to lose our podcasts as we are recording them.

But on this monumental occasion we went down to the dream cruise off of woodward and interviewed at least 15 people and had such great conversations and audio effects with all the cars.

Sadly, because of THE WORST IPOD ATTACHMENT the ITALK We lost our entire podcast!!!!

The i-talk is the worst piece of hardware manufactured to date! No one should buy it and pretty much the whole Griffen Technologies corporation needs to go down in flames because of such a crappy product. I mean talk about a product which is totally designed and doomed to failure. You had to manually set it to low gain in order for it not to pop and now the thing just deleted our entire show.

We had such a great show lined up but now all we can do is upload the photos and videos we took while we were doing the show. We clicked save and yet its not even there!!!!!

It was about 6 O'Clock the night before and I had kind of planned a
co-workers son who was about 15 years old and I barely knew him....
but regardless my goal was to for sure go to Cedar point.

So I was talking to Wild Man on the IM and he also took the week off
from work, so he said he was down to go. So after I told him I would
pick him up after dinner with Susan and I also called that coworkers
son and told him I found someone to come with me.

I felt bad, but oh well. matt hasnt gone to a theme park in years
and he is my best friend.

So after the lovely dinner, I drove to Matts and picked him up and
got back to my house and stay up until like 1 AM programming and
watching 300 the movie.

We were tired the next day and matt got like 2 hours sleep.

We got to the radio station and signed our forms and moved the car to
another parking area.

We listened to the D.J's ahead of us talk about anything and
