 Pictures from yesterday' race

Here's the starting line.  Very small chute.  But very colorful.  (How sad is it that this poor man has no idea I have a burning desire to destroy him.)

 Fancy cars in the Mr. D's parking lot.

 

 

 

We named her Sugar.

All I saw was the puppy, and I want her.

We used to have a bird named Sugar. I hope your Sugar doesn't peck your kids cheeks and have to go back to the pet store...

Happy Mother's Day, Rachel.

Thanks, Burt :)

Who are you mooning? All of us?

From Burt on Mon, May 11, 2009 at 11:37:54 from 98.167.151.26

Well, my mother took the picture...LOL. Don't I look like a hunchback?

From LaurenO on Mon, May 11, 2009 at 15:55:07 from 68.98.209.210

Cuuute puppy!! And congrats on the race, how did you do? You look fantastic... it's been awhile since I last logged on, but you look half your size! Nice work! :)

From Burt on Mon, May 11, 2009 at 16:33:54 from 68.76.197.194

Thanks Lauren. I have lost a few more pounds since the beginning of the year. I imagine you might be gaining some of them soon with your exciting news. I did good in the race. Didn't do as well as I hoped, but I still PR'ed.

Rachel - I'm finding it hard to get used to that name. Yesterday my wife was like, "Put Sugar in the bath tub until we get home from church." "Why the heck do we want sugar in the bath tub?" One of these days someone is going to say, "This Kool-Aid tastes terrible. Did you put Sugar in it?" LOL.

Don't let Rachel near your dog. She is a puppy bandit.

From kungfublonde on Sun, May 17, 2009 at 02:52:56 from 208.54.4.17

A puppy bandit??

From montelepsy on Sun, May 17, 2009 at 03:00:56 from 155.85.58.253

It just sounded funny to me. I crack myself up.

From Burt on Sun, May 17, 2009 at 20:39:59 from 98.167.151.26

How about I make Sugar swallow a self destruct device if Rachel gets within 10 feet of her?

From JD on Wed, Dec 16, 2009 at 13:39:45 from 70.96.78.157

It was just my imagination, running away with me...Haha!!

From Burt on Wed, Dec 16, 2009 at 13:46:52 from 12.231.112.98

Curse you JD!
