Sorry about the lack of blogging. With my move and the departure of a couple of my employees here at Pyramid I have been busy, busy. In a few short months I will be changing my work time to about 2/3rds of what I have been doing and time will not be as big an issue as it is now. I am looking forward seeing all of you this coming Spring and to get back on that golf course.

Once again, I'm on the apologizing end of things. I have found that while driving fifty minutes each way to work daily is not a problem, cause I love sunrises and sunsets, taking 100 minutes out of your day does leave you pretty worn at days end.

The Wease, Steph, and yours truly were doing instant messaging Wednesday and having a quite lively discussion. I told the Wease there was a stong posibility he was going to be grossed out, to which he replied "no way".

Thanks, Burt for keeping people up with the details. He shot a 76 the last day. He missed the New Mexico trip by one. He was in a playoff for an alternate, but that probably won't happen.

Where the hell is the Wease ... I apologized for my AWOL condition but we have heard nothing of the sort from Bullwinkle. Haven't heard how John finished? I understand NCC players retained the Ryder Cup for another year. Hip Hip Hoorah! Well done fellows! Just finished the big moving sale. What a pain in the you know where.

Second round was delayed a day by rain. Here is John's results:
John Shawver, Newton, Iowa 75-73--148, leader shot a 136. John made the cut. Heard Steph forgot the chager for her notebook. Bet she went out and bought a Gameboy. Gotta have those games.
Both Iowa football teams did really well yesterday.

This last week has been full of excitement. Wednesday was busy as always. Tom, we missed you. I think I can speak for everyone.

Good to hear from Burt again. Living next to and rubbing elbows with the Wease, or "Bull Moose" as he likes to think of hisself, might prove to be ... too much of a good thing. As for taking him home after a night of reverie, I am a little concerned about that as well.

Reasnor and Metz were both taken, and that's a good thing. Don't think the action is quite high enough for momma and I. I will think more seriously about those locations in 10 to 20, years that is.

A report on Bill. Talked to him just this morning and he sounds "tired". He lost a fair amount of blood during the surgery and is taking iron pills etc. to rebuild. The doctor didn't want to do a transfusion so Bill is going to have to rebuild his blood level on his own.

The management at the motel has given me the whirlpool suite again this week, and my sore lower back certainly appreciates it. There is a lot to be said for small towns! I hope Burt is having a great time on the trip with the grandkids. He will be doing the wease thing at the library for awhile.

We (Marilyn and I) are leaving for a month in New Mexico and Colorado to escape the bad bad TX August heat.

It's another Wednesday and it will be HOT! However, I don't think that will effect my perkiness as you all know. It was a long weekend at the Newton Country Club with the Couples Tournament. Weasey played, but I didn't spend a lot of time with him. I did sit with him at the dinner, which was very good. Friday night at the fest was a blast. Yes, I saw many people from the ncc and it Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08640496773620030431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501370.post-796421982002-07-31T09:41:00.000-05:002002-07-31T09:41:20.026-05:00Nice post...T Rip!. Now if we could just hear something from Burt. If he doesn't get his act in gear pretty soon, we may have to change the blog name again.(Three Muscateers?). Anyway Burt, it is 19 days now since your last posting to the blog, and we all miss you! Hope everyone will be in attendance this Thurs. night at the club.

Had a great weekend! Saw that perky Steph at the Friday Fest as well as John and lots of other NCC folk. For those of you who were otherwise occupied and or just plain not available... you missed a good time. Bands on Newton square and the cost was zippo. The score board had a beer garden for all of us who needed liquid refreshments of the alcoholic type and it was packed.

Great to hear from both the waywards ... Perky and the Wease. Steph, I'm happy things went OK at the funeral and am glad you enjoyed visiting with family and old acquaintances. I just came from the funeral of the mother of one of my long time employees and thought ... there are several good things about a funeral.

The first thing I'd like to say is THANK YOU for all your support for the difficult week I had last week. It was very sad and at the same time exciting b/c John played in the Waterloo Open. On Wednesday morning, I found out about my cousin who had died from Leukemia. It was a tough day on the bar cart, but all my Wednesday men were very supportive.

Sorry to hear the Wease is hurting. That back business is no fun. It seems to effect everything we do. Weasey's description of the weather was understated. It was a BITCH! Worked in the yard from about 8:00 till 2:00 on Sunday and then played nine holes in the PM. You can't seem to get enough fluids in you to make up for those you lose in weather like we have been having.

Nice to hear from the wayword perky. Was good to see Steph on Wednesday night. It was a warm one but a good evening.

I know it's been a while since I've posted to the blog. I'm sorry for my lack of participation. On Thursday, I had a big night with all my friends. Friday morning, a little tired I may say, I went with John to the Iowa Open. Yeah! He made the cut. He shot 70, 70, 68. He played good. He got 32 out of 236. I think that was pretty good and he was happy.

Just red the post from the Wease! Good to see he can still type and they are still allowing him in the big A's library. The weekend here was wonderful with low humidity and moderately warm temps. Went to a car show in Pella on Saturday and saw about 250 street rods. Very nice cars for a small show. Makes my heart go pity pat. I'm just a wannabe owner though.

Once again my golf was the pits but the bar company was super. The Wease held court until the wee hours. At least he was when I made my exit at about 9:45. I should forget golf and concentrate on what I do best. Drink and laugh. It was ladies night. A night of drinking, fun and merryment including tatoo exposures by the Wease and most all Thomashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10988762665862220625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501370.post-788647892002-07-12T09:56:00.000-05:002002-07-12T09:59:56.000-05:00Wease started the week with a blast from the Algona Public Library. Then all was quiet. Could it be that Wease has his Algona library card lifted for porn activities? I agree that it is not the same without Wease on the net, his great email 'forwards' and original research of great web sites with high intellectual content.

It just aint the same without him is it? Wednesday night at NCC was a good one again. My golf game sucked the big one, again. But what the heck, I had a great time. Steph was as effecient as ever and just as perky. The course was jammed in the later PM as no one could golf earlier in the day due to the downpours.

Items being examined include: 1) Falling into the flower bed and damaging the flowers, 2) Unathorized use of another members Golf Cart with a Staff Member, and 3) the possibility of receiving a letter from NCC concerning recent behavior.

The forth was a blast for the Tripp's. Was at the NCC pool at 10:30 AM and stayed until 4:00 PM. A lot easier than running around on a very hot and sticky golf course and the scenery was much better as well. If you haven't had the opportunity to be there, Newton has a really nice 4th of July parade which was dedicated to Steve Hollenbeck this year.

I hardly got to spend any time with Weasey while he was on vacation. He was really into golf this week anyway. They had a big qualifyer for the Ryder Cup coming up in the fall. Tuesday, John and I and some friends went to the I Cubs game. That turned out to be a real success. Lots of fun. On men's day, I got to see Weasey and Tom T.
