Teal Hunting

Took the golden children teal hunting Sunday morning, and it was a hoot. Got them up at 5:00am, got dressed and off we went. Teal hunting is perfect for kids, as it's only early and lasts for an hour or so, then the teal quit flying and you might as well head back to the camp and eat breakfast. They enjoyed it, although GC#2 was bored and hungry about 30 minutes in. Managed to entertain her for another 30 and then it was time to go. I think they would have enjoyed playing outside, as they have done during previous visits, but the entire mosquito population of S. Louisiana was in attendance and I didn't see any reason to send them outside for a chance at getting eaten alive.

Onto other topics, and other things that are going on....

• LSU is looking pretty f-ing tough after beating Ms State at Starkville on a short week. Holding one of the top rushing teams in the SEC to about 1/5 their normal average is working for me. We'll get another indication this week, playing WVU at their place. They don't run the ball especially well, but sling it around pretty effectively.
• Saints looking much better, actually covered some receivers and made some tackles. At one point I almost felt sorry for Jay Cutler, then remembered what a whiny bitch he normally is and got over it.

Waiting on a phone call to see if one of our other potential acquisition targets is interested in the JV we proposed to them. I think it's a pretty good deal for all involved. I guess we'll see this week if the target agrees.

That's enough for now, I'm done with lunch and need to get back to work.

acquisitions

Well, it turns out buying companies is not fun if no-one will sell. Bastards.

Anyway, there's been quite a bit going on, and while I thought I put up a post a few days ago, it doesn't show up. Not sure if I'm remembering it wrong, didn't finish something I was supposed to, or this new blogger interface is fucking me up....

So LSU ruled in it's first 2 games. Big game this week @ MS State, who lost in the last few seconds at Auburn, and is likely to not be in a good mood Thursday night. I expect the Tigers to win, but it might not be easy.

Saints played last Thursday, and really didn't look all that damned good. I admit that GB is a good team, but our defense was definitely sucking hind tit in that game.

Football!!

Almost, anyway. It's' so close that I'm almost planning on being worthless tomorrow at work just in anticipation. We are having a herd of people over the watch the LSU game, and hopefully we don't get raped in front of a national TV audience by Oregon. This is especially true after all the drama of the past few weeks. It just pisses me off that after such a nice quiet offseason all this bullshit pops up 3 weeks before the game. Plus, I'm going to have a house full of people and probably won't be able to scream at the TV the way I want to. Fortunately, I'm prepared to drink the Tigers to victory, or drink to kill the pain, whichever is needed. Either way, I get to have drinks.
