Justus

This past weekend I went downstairs to do some laundry. When I walked over to the dryer, this is what I saw.

No, the neighbor dog did not crap on my dryer, it was a ball of lint from the lint trap in the dryer. Justus must have cleaned it out. When I saw Justus later that day, I asked him what the deal was with the lint on the dryer. He told me that he couldn't find the garbage downstairs. Then I started thinking. Why wouldn't he just carry it upstairs and put it in the garbage can in the kitchen? Was it too heavy? Then I started thinking some more. How can you not find the garbage can in my utility room? Maybe it is tougher than I thought and it is hidden really well. So I thought I would make a gyro contest out of finding the garbage can in the basement. Here is what you would see if you stood at my dryer and turned around. The first person to correctly describe what the garbage can looks like wins an Oakland Gyro.

Secondly, I am planning on leaving work early both Thursday and Friday for the NCAA basketball tournament. I am planning on watching the game at my house. If you would like to join me, give me a call. My workload at work may change, so definitely call beforehand.

Pearls of Wisdom from Justus

Just 5 minutes ago, Justus and I had a conversation about laundry. He told me that he believes that my dry vent is clogged. Which it very well could be. He was heading out the door and said that he could help me with unclogging it when he got back. My response, "Justus, I think I can handle it on my own. You know all of those tools down stairs aren't just for show. And that engineering diploma and engineering license on the wall, they don't just give them away."

NCAA

Alright kids. It is one of my favorite times of the year. It is nearly safe to say that winter is over. And the NCAA tournament is upon us. That means I get to post one of my favorite pictures. Yes, that is me throwing down. There was a time. It was long ago. I have sent out invites to my NCAA pool. If you have not received that invite and would like to join, leave me a comment with your email address and I will send the invite to you.

The rules, pretty simple. Pick the teams you think will win. Double points for picking an upset. It is a $10 entry, winner take all.

More from Josh's Game

Coach Wooden

I have had some coaching experience in my life. I know how frustrating it can be. I was at Abby and Josh's basketball games this weekend. My brother, Dan, coaches both teams. Dan was under control during Josh's game. But during Abby's game his frustration was very apparent. I was more entertained by watching Dan, than by the game as this video shows.

There is one girl in particular, Ella, who probably took at least a year off of Dan's life because of the stress and frustration that she causes day during a game. Here is Ella, #23.

Here is the First One

This is the first of many Justus posts. Last night just hooked up his wireless router to my internet connection. When I purchased my TV, I also bought a Blue Ray player that had wireless capabilities. After Justus had the router hooked up I tried to get the Blue Ray player connected to the internet. And sure enough it worked. One of the preset webpages was Hulu. If you don't know about hulu, here it is. It was 11:00 at night and I didn't want to deal with setting up an account. But Justus wanted it hooked up, so after I went to bed, I hear "Buddy, what is your email account?" I told him. A couple minutes later, "Buddy, what is your mailing address?" Fast forward to tonight and I ask Justus "How did setting up Hulu go?" "Well there was a little bit of a problem." He needed to set up an account online and then enter that account and password in through the Blue Ray player. Only one problem, Justus forgot to write down what the password was that he created. Kind of hard to log on with out it. More to come.
