Still nothing...

Hello all, we have been horrible at taking pics so not too much new to add visually, maybe i'll throw some old ones at ya. Pretty low key weekend. Went to one of our favorite spots on Saturday, the St. Clair Broiler, always tasty. Max enjoyed his first trip. Had Gma Sue's retirement party as well, congrats Sue! Watched the vikes take the whoopin stick out and headed to the Strehlo's for dinner and a small jam session. Me & Jerry learned a song in about 5 min. Once we tighten the screws on it, it should make the tour setlist. I promise we will be better about taking pics, I got a few good ideas in the hopper too.

*** Update *** Sam is promising some new pics as soon as tomorrow!

We got..... Nothing

Hello Bloggerville,

we were pretty horrible parents this week, no pictures taken at all. Got nothing to post for ya. Got some special stuff for you Northernmost Pilot lovers out there. 2/3 of the band (Me & Jerry) got together Sat. night and hammered out a couple songs, even the one I was supposed to do for Wayne's circle of songs like 2 weeks ago. (Wayne- I wasn't sure about posting on the site, you'll have to give me sign in info and all that good stuff. ) We hammered out 3 tunes for our groupies, all in 1 take. Might have some more tunes for ya next week. The band needs to ramp up it's practice schedule for our big summer tour. Anyway, I'm posting the tunes on Youtube now, hopefully they pop up on the right.

Not too much else happening here, pretty boring weekend, which was nice. Too much running around in December.

** Special thanks to the Cardinals for beating the Pack today. I couldn't have taken a Pack-Vikes game for the NFC Championship. Also, Steve Breaston may be one of the coolest players ever, after he scored his TD he did the Razor Ramone dance. Incredible! *** here's the link if you are interested in seeing the Outsiders do it properly. Ah the golden days of wrasslin.

** Also, as Sam can attest I am a big Dr. Dog fan, as is the Wayner. I would recommend Hang on if you are a newbie, but The Rabbit, The Bat, and the Reindeer is my fave. ******

Bye Bye Bye

Hola Bloggerville,

another busy week for the Strehlo fam. New Years to celebrate, going to the Schoenrocks to see the northern crew that couldn't make it down for x-mas, painting the bathroom, going to the Zoo, etc. I think we are all starting to come down with a cold too, hopefully that's all it is.

Don't have a ton of pics for ya, but have at what I posted. I promise I will do my best to get some vids on here next week.

** Another new addition here. We were watching our Trueblood DVD, yes Sam has me watching vampire stuff, I guess it's popular now. Anyway, one of the most underrated "character actors" popped up. Stephen Root, AKA Jimmy James! Checked out his IMBD, that guy is in tons of great TV shows, . Newsradio of course, Seinfeld, Northern Exposure, King of the Hill, and Head of the Class! Also a few good movies- No Country for Old Men, Office Space, O Brother Where art Thou. You always hear about William H Macy and Phillip Seymour Hoffman, but Root doesn't get enough credit. Maybe it's because he doesn't use his middle name/initial. Regardless, here's to you Jimmy James. ******

The new bathroom. The 3rd style we went with. Long story.
Max & Sam went to the MN Zoo with Rachel & Joey this week.

Special Thanks to Gary for helping (basically doing everything) for the Cigar Box bass. He was nice enough to do basically all of the work and even gave me the prototype. Haven't quite mastered it yet, maybe I can post a vid next week.
