Who wants more snow cones?! (Don't worry they're lemon)

There was ten commandments, but NADC has got them down to seven.



It has been snowing. I have experienced my first ever snow day off from school but its not really as great as it sounds. I don't have any homework left to do, I no longer have a job, I don't have any money to go spend, and I spent all my time driving around looking at the snow. Not really what you are suposed to do on a snow day but luckly for you guys I have more pictures then words this time around.
Note: I'm not really bragging about how much snow we got, because there is always someone else who has gotten more, but seeing as it is my third experiance I have to freak out a little bit.(6 or 7 inch's!)

It started on Friday.



And then I awoke to LOTS of snow on Saturday.


Josh's Broke car no looks mor' brok'


Then I went out to see the sites around town.
Also note: Ben, you send that I would never use/need my four wheel drive and I have been using it so much its not even funny \m/





I thought of Jessie quite a bit. She would think everything was so pretty, and how she is probably cold just looking at this.

THE O NEATERS

OK everyone use their best southern draw and try and read this conversation.

"MR Ducks"
"MR Not"
"CDM wins"
"LIB, MR Ducks"

The first one to write it in English wins!

What do you win?
A Ham and Cheese sandwich, for what better prize then ham and cheese?
I never before knew how good a ham and cheese sandwich truly was until Jessie made me one on our bike ride to lakemary a while back. Now I eat them all the time. I pack them for lunch and I make them for dinner. I eat them on a train in the rain, in a house with a mouse, I eat them here and there. Thank you my lovely Jessie for teaching me how beautiful a ham and cheese sandwich can be. I once ordered one at subway.
"I would like a ham foot long on wheat."
"Do you want it toasted?"
"No thank you."
"What kind of cheese?"
"Provolone"
"What else would you like on it?"
I looked at the choices for several minutes without saying anything.
"There isn't really anything more to put on a good old ham and cheese huh?"
The lady couldn't have said it any better.

Hopefully it is going to snow like Global Warming has threatened for years now.
I know I have done my share of ruining the world for my children I deserve a snow day. Then I can have more time to build V8 engines to melt the earth.
(it is going to snow and I might get out of school)
(I'm taking fuel and emissions right now)

I need a hair cut
I lost my job because there is "not enough work to keep me on"
I eat ham, carrots, soup, coffee, and ravioli!
I live to far away from a certain brown eyed girl
All the fish are probably dead from the cold
My roommates are really gross in ways you don't want to know
AND I'M DOING GREAT!

I really am. I don't know what it is but God has given me a really good peace about everything going on right now. Things can be hard when you're not really sure about the next way you are going to get paid again, much less the way you are going to make a living on something like diesel mechanics. I have found though, that through the grace of God you can really find a peace about his direction in your life. I would have never quit that job because I was just barely comfortable enough to stay. I had already learned everything that I could have there but I would have been stuck. Now I don't have a choice. I get to go find a new job that I can meet more people and learn new things at. If not, I get to learn how to make one dollar into three for a while. I really can't complain.

ALSO Never make fun of a band because one day you could end up playing drums in that kind of band. The kind that you made fun of for having really bad song writing and playing covers. Not that something like that happened but you know, just don't do it.

Now! Meet the crew! All my room mates in one place making dinner!

Here is Josh From VA, He shares a room with me and enjoys Drinking, complaining about "The same old 'stuff'", and chewing tobacco. He is quite and reasonable and only has two girls talking to him about "Getting together"

Meet Cornelius from Chattanooga TN. I think that's how you spell his name? He is into rap music, chicken, mumbling, and hot sauce. He is taking the Auto body classes at school and is currently dating a girl named Facebook. It might be serious though, he spends all his time with her.

This is Joey on the left, I couldn't get a good picture of him but you get the idea. He is also from VA and enjoys all of the same things as josh in addition to writing a new language. I haven't really been able to translate all of the words yet but he could probably read the opening the statement of this blog no problem.

And now the best for last David B. He has been with me from the start and really is a true friend. He was the only one I could get to smile so you know he is a good guy. And look out ladies, he's single!

I have come a really long way to be where I am at now and I can still smile even when I get to room with gentlemen like these; and play drum set like this.

The best part is I didn't have to set it up.

Mmmm, Pine cones.

This has been one of those trying weeks. I know, it's only Wednesday, but it really has been.

Lets make this a good thing bad thing blog. Surly I can list one good thing for every bad thing that has happened just so its not a pity party.

Good thing: I recived another "A" at school.

Bad thing: I somehow made the worst score ever on my final in that same class. I'm not sure how that works but I think its something like, "Yep, you don't know a thing about transmissions but you somehow beat our point system so... here's an A"

Good thing: I cleaned the kitchen and the bathroom yesterday

Bad thing: The rooms here don't stay clean for longer then a day and we had inspections today. Not yesterday when everything was clean. I then got lectured on how we need to clean up by our friendly housing rep. while all my roommates are at school.

Good thing: My boss called and told me that I could have the day off today.

Bad thing: My boss has told me this for two days now and it's because there is no work to be done at the shop. In other words, they're cutting my already very part time hours. I know there are other people that have it MUCH tougher then I do about getting work but this is still is going to make the bad things list.
(Shout out to my former job/boss/co-workers. We had it so good)

Good thing?: I ate this!

Bad thing: You don't want to know

This is classic


Speaking of food, I had the strangest dream. I finally got to eat at my favorite restaurant, Chipotle. But Ben was with me. He told me in my dream like he does in real life that he does like to eat Chipotle. BUT I MADE HIM EAT IT. Then he was in the back throwing up for the rest of my dream while we where all hanging out.

No its not! Where's the snow?!

Its here with me in Nashville!

I has snowed at school,



At Home,



And at work!


So I went about town for a little Friday night fun.
I wanted to make a fire in our fireplace. I happened to spot a guy on the side of the road selling wood so I pulled over and asked "How much for your wood?'
"20$ for this stack here" He said proudly. The stack was step up with two logs on the ground parallel and then two logs on top of those parallel to each other but facing the other way, all the way up about 3ft.
"20$?!" I said "That look like about 5$ worth"
Well it was on after that. We went back and fourth for about five min.
"These logs are covered in snow!" I said
"There isn't a better price around." He would say.

The lowest he would go was 12$ so I said I wasn't looking to spend that much and took off to logger number two.

I pulled up to the Log man and asked "How much?"
"20$ for the whole stack" he said
He had a stack of wood set up the same way but it was about five feet high
"Well I didn't really want to spent that much" I replied. "How about Ten dollars?"
"For Ten dollars you get half that stack." It was still more then the first mans amount so I said "I'll take it!" And then I made a fire...



David brought back more Deer meat but we had no room in the freezer. So he left it in the cooler in the back of his truck and it has stayed frozen! I don't think it has been above 32 degrees yet. Very cold.

Conversations with Mom.

"It's Snowing!"
"Oh no! Do you have chains for your tires?"
"Mom, its not like a blizzard its just a inch or two."
"Oh good so you're not sliding around or anything right?"
"Heck yes I am! That's the best part!"
"TYLER? You don't tell you mother these things!"
"It's ok I have four wheel drive and I'm getting around just fine. They even salted the Highways."
"Ok good."

I love my mom <3

"Scrap, art. This is scarp, this is art."

I haven't done anything today!

I went to school and we did nothing but an oral quiz on transmission parts.

SOOO BORING!

Who cares how it work just replace it.

I think that it is to close to someone lovely coming to visit, because I am having a hard time wanting to do anything. It's is my day off today and I was going to clean out my car and do a load of laundry but I didn't. I just came home and played video games.

I don't care, I think I need a day off. I wrote this blog just to feel like I did something.

"...I ate a red wax candle"

I eat the same amount of food for less money... That why it's funny when my mom says "Have you been eating?" because I have, for less money. Don't make me explain these things, no one likes to explain their own jokes at their Mother's expense.

Maybe I forgot that only young attractive girls and older women read my blog (just pick which one you want to be)

I will now try to sell out and write better for my market so the "man's blog" is now going to be more like the "Tyler's not starving blog" Wait... The microwave is broken! We're all DEAD!

Not really, that was a joke too.

I hope I don't get in trouble for this blog :(

So now to start with fresh material made for my audience.

The KIDS we're so loud today up stairs. I think that they we looking cute while they we loud though so it's alright. I love kids that are cute.

The MEN in this house are so RUDE. They get home from school and they just mess up the kitchen that I cleaned, they mess up the bathroom that I cleaned, and they don't even ask me how my day was.

The price of MILK is so high right now. I can't even fit it into my budget. I think I'm going to have to buy my own cow. We'll keep her on the patio.

SCHOOL is so great! I learn so much my brain hurts. I just wish I could go to school all the time!

I have to DRIVE somewhere today..

Alright this is terrible I can't do it anymore. I hope every one isn't returning my gifts and writing angry letters to my editor, but I just can't do it.

Try to laugh or consider how this could be funny.

I was in a truck lifted 10 feet in the air at work starting and stopping the engine when it caught on FIRE and Ben had to get the extinguisher to put it out! I thought it was funny, all I saw where people running and yelling and then lots of white powder everywhere.

I have two brand new room mates and they are very nice guys so far, Josh and Joe. The come from a one Wal-Mart town.

I received my coffee maker in the mail and I'm so excited to use it tomorrow!

OKAY, I hope all of my readers have a great day and take it easy on the hate mail.

I love you mom <3

PS I will now only use movie quotes for my blog titles. If you guess the movie you get a prize.

PSS I don't think I will every blog again.

Spider Guts and Toilet Seats (This is a Man's Blog)

I WIN! If you didn't know, there was a contest to see who could go the longest without blogging. AND I WON! Its been weeks and weeks, you probably thought that I didn't even care about blogging anymore but man you guys have no control, you just had to write something.

Well I don't even have anything to write about. I don't have any pictures and I'd be surprised if you even read this far. I will just have to write another blog about lots of little random things, but don't worry I will tie it all together some how.

I tried to fix my heater in my car because it's only getting up to about 40 degrees outside everyday now. I'm a mechanic, so I knew exactly what to do.
I took it to the shop.
Well not really, I worked on it at my shop... without getting paid. I ended up flushing the coolant trying, hoping, praying that it would fix the heat but it did not.

So I took all of the bottom dash panels off to try and find the blower door and the heater core. What I found instead was lots of dead bugs and SPIDERS!

I really don't like spiders so we went to walmart ( The spiders and I) and I bought one of those fog bomb things that kill every kind of bug and I also bought a toilet seat. This was because SOMEONE broke ours in half. It could have been me, it could have been my room mate who weighs about four of me, you decided, there are prizes.

I got to the checkout with the seat and a pack of bug bombs and the walmart guy look at me a little concerned. "Don't worry" I said "These are two very different problems."

We headed back home and I cleaned out everything from my car, took off all the panels, and lit the bomb inside the car. Then there was one.
I had just lit a bomb made for a whole house inside my car. The next day (and to this day) my car smelt heavily of poison but I breathed a little easier.

That big engine that I took apart in my last post IS going to run tomorrow and I'm happy about that.

I'm doing better at work and I still haven't dropped any one's car.

I'm looking forward to my beautiful Jessie coming to visit on the 19th and I'm very happy I found her somewhere to stay for the weekend.

David, my roommate, came back from thanksgiving with about 15lb's of dear meat. I found it in the freezer. That scene in Forest Gump when Bubba is talking about every way so make shrimp? That's our place only with dear. Its really good though.

I drink a lot of coffee now and when I got mailed this offer, I couldn't pass it up. I am going to get
1 coffee maker with a clock and pre-sets.
1 coffee mug
1 fancy coffee holder
and 2 pounds of coffee of my choice
FOR ONLY 14.99!

Great deal huh? Maybe after I get it.

Speaking of great deals here is what I say to my mom "I have only spent 20 dollars at the store for the last week and a half and I still have a lot of food left. I've really been saving money."
She says back "Oh no Ty! Have you been eating anything?"
I love my Mom :)

The best saying I have heard at school yet! I wish I could swear just once to make it better but I won't.
"If you do something like that on the job your boss is going to ride your butt like a birthday pony!"

I don't even remember what he said not to do but that is just funny.

At work the funniest thing is when my new manager comes around like the clean-freak-psycho that he is and tries to tell us to clean WHILE we are working and Will like the loud mouth that he is cuts him off in mid sentence and yells "Get to work TOM!" "Get to it man!"
So funny.

So to tie it all together what I really have to say is...

"A Spider named Tom dropped a car on Will while trying to fix the heater for the most beautiful Jessie whom is still doing well at school by spending less on food and more on dear meat, toilet seats, and coffee."


I think that does it.
