Stupid money.
That is my reason.I have a ticket for the smaller scale state lottery. Drawing is today. If I win, it is straight in the car and on my way to Boulder, I can still make it in time.
I'll buy you a plane ticket!!

Hello everyone. I just wanted to pop in and say hello. I have been super busy and missing you all like crazy. I can't wait for things to slow down here and i can be here more. I hope that you're all having a good Summer. Big hugs to you all. Hope to talk to you soon.
Hi there
I just want to apologize for not taking the time to come here lately.
It seems I have been depressed or blue (or something like that) ever since I realized that I could not come to the King Kon this year.
Debbie Debbie913 - I would have come by myself except for the expense. Andy has been working like crazy to pay off our mortgage and of course now we get hit with a big $4000 tax bill!
Guess he forgot that when you pay your mortgage through the bank the taxes comes out automatically every month.
I did splurge a bit and at the moment my friend and his son are building a new deck out back - the old one must have been from the mid 80s I think - the wood was so old and rotten they had no problem dismantling it with crow bars.
Anyway, enough about that for now.
I was on Facebook - trying to clean up my son's account - his fiancee was complaining about all the pics of girls he has on there. Well it is no wonder!
He 'likes' posts about tattoos, rap music, hip hop, muscle cars, WWE etc. I was surprised to see how many "ladies" (I use the term loosely) will post semi-naked pics of themselves. Being a normal red-blooded guy (but without a lot of smarts) he would naturally click on these and either follow them or just like the page.
That is probably another reason I am not feeling so well - going on Facebook is probably bad for your soul (in my opinion) - what a crazy place that is, compared to the SKMB.
Well, rant is over now. I hope all are doing well out there. It is a lovely hot day here with no rain forecast - great deck building weather!
I am glad that I am not the only one feeling bummed for not taking part at the Kon.
Maybe I can save some money and fly over the big pont next year a dream would come true.
@ Niro- next Kon will be 2018- every 2 years now. Extra time to save $.I am glad that I am not the only one feeling bummed for not taking part at the Kon.

Let me get this straight. I'm stuck in Flagstaff with a broken car, my son is disappointed yet again, I'm good, but the board is CLOSING for the weekend? What else is there? . . really, this is funny somehow. . .

I know, but I am waiting to visite the states since 2013 can't wait. We will see if I make it in 2017. It could be that I am not able to make it in 2018 but we will see. But for now I need a little dream while commuting to work I guess.
It's late in my neck of the woods. It's also quite warm here as you know no AC's here. I could start working early so I am having an early weekend as well. Have a wonderful weekend.
Nomik the SKMB will close Friday at 4PM eastern and reopen 12:01AM August 1.Let me get this straight. I'm stuck in Flagstaff with a broken car, my son is disappointed yet again, I'm good, but the board is CLOSING for the weekend? What else is there?
Somehow that doesn't seem to help but thank you for the validation!
Yeah, we did pass through Scottsbluff
What or wherever, whatever. . . You know what I mean. I'm sorry, I find this funny too.
Is this your freinds first time in the USA, Kurb? Sorry if I missed that.
Glad you made it safe.
No, hardly. My brother live and work in the US. He and his wife picked me up in Minneapolis and then we went to her family Reunion that was held in St Paul and then took the car home. Her family originated in sweden and went over ca 1870 to 1880 to the States. She grow up in Texas but lives in Colorado. My brother met her when he was a foreign student at the university in Minneapolis. So i stay at their house, i have a standing invitation, and we all enjoy ourselves tremendously.
That sounds like a very special family. Enjoy your time with them. Many memories will be formed.
Goodmorning, supposed to be a hot one here in Chicago today. 
So glad you are enjoying your visit with your brother and sis-in-law! Enjoy the Kon, too!
