        4. Be OPEN and REALISTIC about your son/daughter’s ability.

        Now THAT’S funny!!! Rare is the parent who can be realistic about their own kid’s ability. When my son was a freshman in high school he won a wrestle-off for the starting heavyweight spot over a senior. The senior’s parents went ballistic on the coach. Coach told the parents that all their kid had to do was beat my kid. He quit. Sophomore heavyweight’s mom complained to the coach that her son should get the spot after the senior quit. Coach told her all her kid had to do was beat my kid. He quit. Lesson? If you don’t get what you want, quit.

          Main reason I quit coaching is parents. They don’t support the coaching staff. They don’t make their kids take responsibility for anything. I better stop here, before I write something that would make the cat ban me 😆

            Sad thing is that when the FTF Alert goes off it doesn’t say anything about “hey! Read the cache page before you run off and violate the owner’s wishes or the property’s regulations”.

            So delete their logs, and send them an e-mail telling them why. Maybe they’ll learn to take the extra minute or two to read the cache page before they charge off into the night.

              It feels weird not voting today. 🙁

              there is another election going on. you can vote on that one! 😉

              Yahbut I can’t vote 20 times every day…I need my fix!

              I know what you mean. My students were excited about the morning vote update, but when there was no afternoon update they were a little off kilter. That and the girls were sad when I told them that they had to go around school and take down their posters.

                It looks like the Steele voting machine missed a whole day of operation. Someone was asleep at the switch…

                I bet their operation was ready to go, they fired up the bot machine at 3pm, and they were all like “WHAAAAAAAAT? What do you mean it’s over???!”

                Wouldn’t you have loved to have been a fly-bot on the wall watching that?

                  How soon before we hear the official word? So we can offer official congratulations?

                  I think that will be announced at a dinner on February 14. Can’t believe they’d have everyone come all that way just to hear that they lost, if that should be the case.

                  Well I think everyone but two already know that they lost. And one of those two should know that he lost, too. 😆 Just checked, and the Steele Driving School website has removed the “Vote for Me” headline and links.

                    Congratulations. Seems like just the other day we celebrated 5500 at the West Bend pancake breakfast. I’ll have to owe you the “6000” pancakes.

                      So is it too early to celebrate??? WOO HOO!!! Rick Blick, next inductee in to the Green Bay Packers Fan Hall of Fame. I did wear my Bears hat out caching today, in case there was any question about my loyalty 😆

                          J&L are correct. Texas has had an open season on Sandhills for years. The cranes migrate to Wisconsin, and other mid-west states, to lay eggs and raise their young. We feed them all spring and summer, then they fly back to Texas where they are harvested by hunters there. It’s about time that hunters in Wisconsin get a chance at these overgrown turkeys. I for one am looking forward to putting crane on the Thanksgiving table.

                            Two hours later and Steele has added another 312 votes. The Mayor’s lead is down to 211.

                              Checked at a little before 2:00 and Steele had 22,621. A little less than 2 hours later and he’s at 22,970. 350 votes in less than 2 hours. In the same time the mayor went from 23,211 to 23,276 🙄

                                My students wanted me to keep a running tally on the white board in class, so I put up “Rick W – XXXXX
                                Rick S – XXXXX”

                                Of course, being fifth graders, they couldn’t remember which Rick was which, so I took a cue from geocaching and drew a 🙂 next to Rick W and a 🙁 next to Rick S 😆
