First:
So, my VOLS lost last weekend to Auburn. The game was so bad I seriously almost shed a tear(only 1 or was it 2 first downs in the first half...that's pitiful). Which, the game this weekend against Georgia was a completely different game (we won 45 to 19). One of our friends thought that our quarterback's body was secretly taken over because it was not the same quarterback out there. I mean come on the first time in his history he threw 20 for 27 passes and 4 touchdown passes! This was not the same quarterback. I wonder if we can keep the "new" guy around for a little while? Considering we play Alabama in 2 weeks (I might be putting my head in my hands again).
Second:
Our plumbing went out/clogged the whole house completely. We couldn't use anything that required to drain. Luckily, it was fixed the next day but this morning when I got up it was backing up again, so GROSS! The first time the plumber came he cleaned out a pipe with the machine and bunch of little tree roots came out. So, if you have a house with trees eventually those itty bitty roots start to grow into your pipes in your yard.
Third:
My grandparents came into town and I got to spend some time with them. =)
Fourth:
On Saturday FedEx introduced its new 777 in to the family. So, Brandon and I headed out to the airport with his parents to watch the ginormous plane do a fly by and I also got to go inside the plane that Brandon's dad flies. I never realized how small airplane cockpits are. I mean they are tiny and they have buttons every where! I think you could accidentally push a button just trying to get into the seat. I mean if you pass gas in there your are going to know about it and there is no where to escape. Also, those windshields are not as big as they look from the outside. They are also very tiny. The pilot seats are comfortable looking but if you have to ride jump seat those things did not look comfortable at all (I mean they fold out of the wall but they do recline (a little). Plus, you would think they would have a mini-fridge or something but nope. In this one there was a blue Colman cooler but I mean I guess that's why they get paid the big bucks. Well, here is the new big boy in town the 777 and look at it:
Yes, that's right it cannot land on just 8 wheels it has to have 12!?!
The new 777 has real seats to jump seat in (I guess that is good because the plane will be doing over 12 hour trips because it can only land in very few airports).
This is a picture of the Airbus which Roger flies for reference to how big the 777 is (compare the engine sizes and the people next to it). If I can get the pictures from Eva I will post them (Brandon standing in front of the Airbus engine and then under the 777 engine)
Other than it being a cold and rainy week it wasn't to bad. Now to brace for more rain this week. What is that song? Oh yeah Rain Rain Go Away Come Again Some Other Day. I need sunshine because I think I am going to go crazy. I wonder if this is how they feel in Alaska when they have their dark period?
