Getting the band back together

Hello devoted readers,

not too much new to report here. I went up to Becker to visit the Werner's, sorry no pics, we did lay down a few jams, but I am having some problems with loading the vids onto the computer. Maybe soon. Sam went out to eat with her lady friends while I was gone, no pics from that either, we were bad this week. Not much else new to report, got a little writers block. Not too much to report with Max. He's getting big and is taking a step here and there, still prefers crawling as his main mode of transportation.

*** I was pretty disappointed in today's youth this weekend. Me and Wern played some hoops at the community center, there was some kids kicking a ball around and one time the ball whizzed like 6 inches from my face. No heads up, watch out! nothing. So I glared at the kid and didn't even get a sorry. I really wanted to yell at him, but I didn't. ******

Things have indeed changed

Hello bloggers. Sorry for the late post, been busy. So what's new with us? Not too much. Halloween last weekend, didn't do too much. Me and Sam went to David Gray on Friday night at the Orpheum. Good venue, but I feel like every time we go to a concert it's at the Orpheum. Anyway, it was a really good show. We were a little afraid that it was gonna be too mellow but he rocked it out. No pics from that, you'll have to take our word. Working on a D. Gray song, should be up soon.

Max dressed up as an elephant for halloween, wasn't a big fan of the "hat" deal he had to wear to complete the outfit, great work by Gma Sue on the costume though. I was a little disappointed with the trick or treaters though, is that officially dead? Barely saw any kids out there.

**** Interesting poll #'s. 19 votes, very impressive, was expecting like 12 or so. This basically started because the Henne's think that 2 1/2 men is a good show. I really don't understand how anyone can like that show, I just don't get it. I like bad tv as much as the next guy, but I don't understand how that show can be enjoyable on any level. Little disappointed in the Lost showing, but that's okay, the 2nd season I think turned off a lot of people. I am Very excited for this season though. I liked the poll, maybe i'll post another one here. *****

Random thought of the day: What ever happened to people sporting a rabbits foot on their keychains? They weren't real, were they?

Deep Thoughts

hello bloggerville, not too much to report this weekend. I had the Langer wedding Saturday, hopefully I didn't act too crazy. Sam hung out with her friend Lindsay. Sunday we had Sloppy Sr. & Jr. over (no relation), then off to the Strehlo's for Sunday dinner. Busy weekend. Anyway, during one of those visits we had a little conversation about TV shows. I'm gonna try not to sway your votes and say anything, but please vote on my little polls here. I'm interested to see what kind of tastes our readers have, hopefully good ones. Not too much else new, Max is taking some baby steps if forced, he really doesn't like it at all though.

** Random thought of the day ** I can barely remember my work phone #. I remember when I could rattle off like 10 of my friends #'s and I can't keep track of 2-3 now. Are cell phones ruining peoples memories like spell check is ruining my spelling abilities? ******

yada yada yada

Hello blogosphere, not too much new to report here. I'll post some pics, but it was a pretty boring weekend, which was lovely.

*** had to move the vids to youtube, they weren't loading on the site for some reason. How great is that third video there with creepy wern staring back at ya, it's like the mona lisa he follows you around the room. I love it! ***

*** New segment for this weeks blog, the tip of the week. ***** I'll do a twofer today. First, hulu.com has every episode of battledome, if you like wrestling and american gladiators, you'll love it. Not sure how well its aged though, only got to watch a little of it. ****

*** 2nd tip of the week. I'm sure Sam could give you the link, but we got a chord that'll turn your tv into a computer monitor. Pretty cool, we can watch netflix stuff on it, dont have a full review for this either since we havent had time to use it too much.

Alright, that's all I got, thought I would try something new instead of the same ol same ol. Hopefully should have a new guitar vid for ya soon.

The Dancing Man

Max has become quite the dancer lately. He seems to shy away from the camera though. I was able to catch him on video for a few seconds. Enjoy!




Chad could not get his video to work. We will try again next week. Sorry to disappoint!

Hello devoted readers,

Not too much new over here. Had a somewhat lowkey weekend. Little bit of writers block again. Can't think of too much to write. Did another song this week, kinda screwed it up at the end but I didnt feel like recording another one. I'll try to do a new one each week, we'll see how long that lasts. Wayne- gonna need some songs from you, love to see that bass in action. Here's some pics, have a good week!



Taught Max the touchdown sign. He did it everytime the first day, now its about a 1 in 10 shot.
Goat at the apple farm.

Gma Sue got Max a pumpkin. I think its his favorite toy so far.



Sams first homeade apple pie, mmmmmm!

Damit kannst du dich begraben lassen!

Guten Tag readers,

nice lil weekend for the Strehlo fam. Visited with the rest of the Strehlo clan on Saturday for sam's belated b day celebration, then to the house of Henne Sunday. Good times. Got some pics for ya below.

** Me & Sam are also going to go on a limb and say that the hoarding show on TLC has the makings of an amazing show. Good TV. Monkey babies or whatever they call it, that's getting a little trashy. And of course if you haven't watched the challenge on MTV- (The ruins this year) than I just don't know what to tell you, should be an epic season. ****

Not too much else, have a great week everyone. Maybe a special blog tomorrow, we'll see. I think there's some game tomorrow, the vikes and somebodies old team. Wait its Ryan Longwells former team, should be drama!!!!!

Dinner at Gasthaus on Saturday.


The was my meal, I think they just chopped off a pigs leg and gave it too me. It was pretty good although i'm not a huge fan of sauerkraut. Sara "The Pit" Strehlo had a pretty large meal too. Of course she wolfed it down then had some coconut cake later. What a champ! She wasn't feeling too hot later though.





Sam showing off her Oktoberfest
I went with the Pilsner, was a little disappointed I didnt get the cool looking mug.
Jerry & Sara fresh off their trip from Europe. I think we should have a special guest blog by them to tell some stories, they have some good ones.
The fam posing for pics, Max mugging for the camera.
