Alternator vs Aaron and Garrett

Yesterday i had the joy of my life.... yes taking out the alternator. What a joy tucked down in the engine underneath the battery. My buddy and i didnt know we were setting out on a 2 1/2 hour battle with steel, metal, and a fan. Getting the battery out was no problem but i think to appreciate this you have to know that the car was outside prior and me being the genius i am did not brush any of the snow off the jeep.

I am a person who dresses for occasions and my attire was great this day... and no i was not in just my loin cloth. I wore a brim, a sweatshirt, basketball shorts and shoes oh and socks the socks are important cause when i was putting those on out of know where i get a jolt. Because aaron was kind enough to put on one boxing glove and punch me in my spine! who does that i was like wtf you made me bite my tongue. And i wanted to destroy him but i didnt cause his women would have killed me.

So since it was my jeep i was the one going under the jeep to shove my fat, stubby, no dexterity hands up into little cracks. yes there was lots of this hand cramping and lots of wierd groans and cussing coming from me besides the laughing. The fan blade was in the way and cutting up my knuckles and hands. I did not know what was dripping on me and yes it was the melted snow what a joy. It dripped in and around my mouth, In and around my eyes. All over this beautiful face that only my mother could love.

Eventually we got it out i had to crawl back under for the one hundredth time and let me tell you its not a pretty site its like watching a fat kid try to fit through a doggy door. But i pressed up and aaron pulled and wam the stupid thing came out. I grabbed it raised it over my head and did my pattented wooky call. Aaron says it was his brute strength but i still say hes a pussy i was the one pushing :P

Wa Wa Wa .... Great Success

Well its 5:30 in the morning and what is better to do than blog at this time. Well i can think of a few but we will keep this clean. The other day well to be honest this happens often. Someone said Garrett if i could be as happy as you everyday i would be..... but you probably take something to be this happy all the time.

Here is the fact I do not take any herbal supplements that you must smoke through a glass bottle or pipe. I also like to call it the devils cabbage. And i have to tell these people no i take nothing i am just weird i am sorry. Yes i often do my chewbacca call, talk about taints and pass gas about every 3.4 seconds. I mean but come on if you could do that to you would be as happy as me. The lady said ur always smiling and yes i am i am chubby its the only look that works for me.... besides thefact that i have gapped teeth and enjoy the feel and sound of air passing through my teeth.

Its like catching a nice sea breeze ya know. Than i told her ma'am here are my stats... i am single, live in my moms basement, i snore like a bear when i sleep, i fart way to much in my sleep, i have premature yes its coming..... balding and greying. what did you think i was going to say sheesh. And i am 6'1 and 247lbs and i am weezing and sweating still 10 mins after peeling an orange.

But to be seriouse for a second lol its nice that people recognize i am a very happy person cause for along time i wasnt. And it just proves to me that making the decision i did to move here was right for me. I couldnt be happier with my decision. Things are going really well here i just got picked as the Great Team Hero of the month at Target so yes my face gets to be framed lucky me haha. I am guessing its like there version of employee of the month. But i think its really cool i was selected. I was also selected as a top 3 performer for last month.

I will let yall know whats going on i am going to buy a new comp with my tax returns so will be back in business soon.

Sorry Yall

Hey just wanted tolet everyone know that i did not fall off the face of the earth or anything. Back in december before i headed to a very pricey trip to washington, my computer decided to delete its hard drive. So i am trying to buy a computer from a friend and hopefully be back in the business of blogging soon.

As far as whats going on.... not a whole lot i am just laying low and just trying to do work ya know :P Its been really cold here and a week or so ago we had our power go out from an underground line blowing up. So we had no power for a whole day and no phone cause they messed that up for like 3 days. Chris and i had gone to visit with my uncle that night and couldnt get back home cause they had blocked the road with heavy equpiment. We had to park down the road and walk and it was like -10 that night and i think i forgot to say we went to my grannymas in our pj's i was wearing a hoodie shorts and slippers and chris was in pj pants slippers and a zip up. Needless to say we couldnt stop laughing and by the time we got home our feet hurt so bad and were swollen and purple i actually had to rub the feeling and heat back into my feet. And the snow was hard and cut my shins up so i was bleeding lol it was pretty crappy but i wont ever forget it.

The Decision...

Over the last several days or weeks i guess i can say now i have been thinking alot. I have been looking over options and what things might appeal to me for my future. Back in may of last year i made a promise to myself to be honest with myself and to do things for me, Not to let other people be the deciding factor in stuff that i do or why i do them. I have had several opportunities present them self to me in washington, utah, alaska.... and the miltary.

For years i have wanted to do something meaningful with my life, i have finally made the steps to find myself with my move to montana and now its time to give my life some direction. One day i would like to have a family and what not so i would like a career and i feel for me the best way to do that is through the military.

Its crazy that it took meeting someone who is living there dream and loving it to get me to want to get off my butt and live one of mine. Even though we hardly talk now id just like to thank her for the motivation, i needed it. I feel like the decisions i made to move here and now to join the military, i am am finally following my heart. The goal is to lose 20 lbs by atleast march and than head out for basic. But just figured id let you all knows whats going on in the life of Garrett.

2009

Well a brand new year for all of us, how many of us stuck to our resolutions? I think i did ok i could have done better but i did manage to lose 40 of my 100 lbs that i wanted to lose so i am pretty happy about that. This year i have made a resolution with Kendall to lose 20 lbs so hopefully the choices in a career i make this year will help me get there.

My new years was pretty good I have been in washington since december 26th and will be here till the 4th. We met up with some of Kendall's friends and drove up to seattle around 5 p.m. We stayed at the sixth avenue inn up in seattle and i didnt smell it but some people said it smelled like urine but who knows lol.

Kendall was a few drinks up on everyone cause she decided not to waste time and get to it. We ended up playing a drinking game called kings which was pretty fun i guess your normally supposed to drink it with beer not hard A lol so by the time we got done doing that and started getting ready we were all feeling pretty good.

We got a taxi and went to a club i have no clue what the name was but it was alot of fun. And yes some how Kendall got me to dance dont ask me how but she did. That really is like once in a life time thing. But it was alot of fun. The walk home was intersting just cause of some drama that was going on with people but besides having to pee super bad and and it raining it was alot of fun.

Not really sure what time it was when we all atempted to try and sleep. But ryan ripped one of the longest and loudest farts i have ever heard i would have been proud to call it my own. All in all it was really fun. I am really glad who i got to spend it with she is an amazing person and just knowing her is pushing me to better myself. And i am really glad i decided to come and see her.

Coming into the new year...

I have been racking my brain for the last several months and my decisions have finally came down upon two options. Both in which i have thought about for aslong as i can remember. I am looking into being a firefighter and see what all i need to do to get started. The other option is joining the army its something i have been on the brink of doing since i was 17 and something i wish i would just pull the trigger on everyday.

I really am not sure yet but i want to do something meaningful in life and something that can benefit me and my family someday. I think either of these would be a challenge i have been looking for. I want to have a family one day and its time for me to start making strides to be the man that can support them when that time comes.

I know i can do either in which i put my mind to. Failure is not an option or a word i use to describe myself. Some would say yes you are, failed marriage , dropped out of schools, and dont have a career. But to me success is inner and if you believe in ur self are happy with yourself nothing can bring you down. sure id like to be better off than i am but i am working and making decisions to change my future.

This next year will be bringing me lots of new beginnings and i welcome them and look forward to seeing where life takes me next....

Winter Wonders

This past week here in montana has been very white and very cold. We got about 2 feet of new snow during the week it didnt stop snowing for three days. It wasnt a hard snow more so looked like glass slivers falling from the sky. It has been -30 on some nights this week and im known for wearing shorts in cold weather but i had to pull out the jeans, the legs were not liking the wind cutting right through them. On the first day i decided to wear jeans ended up being a good thing because my jeep blew a hose from the radiator to the heater core and ani-freeze was everywhere. A guy saw us and helped us for a bit but we just kept over heating. We soon found out that someone had put oil in the radiator, how or when this happened is unknown. My guess is still lester lol sorry. But john my step father came and brought chris and i a new hose and we were off and back on our way. Later that night john and i flushed the radiator and got out what we could but there is still alot of oil in it. I dont think my feet have ever been that cold i could barely feel my toes lol. Got to love the unexpected troubles in life like car troubles. But the last 2 nights havent had any problems with over heating so hopefully it is fixed. Other than that just enjoying the snow.

Today is really beautiful sun is out and the big montana sky looks like the ocean is in it. So i will continue to drink hot choclate w/ the marshmelloy marshmellows. Maybe start the wood stove and bundle up in a parka cause it is sooooo cold lol. And if i dont get to this before the holidays have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
