Frisbee/Disc Golf - Middle Park Bettendorf Iowa Disc Course

Middle Course Bettendorf Iowa (holes 1-9)

Check out my video that I put together for the Middle Course in Bettendorf Iowa....I would have done the entire course but it was very hot and I was running out of time. The first nine holes are out in the open for the most part. I really enjoy this course because there are three locations for the pins for almost every hole. Not every course has different places to put the pins...this makes Middle Course interesting and fun.



There is only one tricky part on the front nine....after hole six you need to walk across hole 2/4 to the other side of the street in order to find the tee for hole number 7. After that and depending on the pin placement hole 8 is potentially 1000ft....which is abnormally long for any hole. Lucky for me hole 8 has the shortest pin placement (still over 800ft) ...my day started a little rough, but then I could finally make some decent shorts.

All in all I would say this is an excellent course and next time it is summer you should check it out!

Remodeling the House - Upstairs phase 1

Here you will see a quick video of our current progress remodeling our first house. The upstairs bathroom was not set up very well and the laundry room was in the basement....we are in the process of making a new laundry space and re configuring the bathroom. A few weeks of work have been put in and a few tons of plaster have been taken out....but as you can see there is more work to be done.

Please Enjoy...

Take a moment to consider the following...




This next election 


will decide the fate of 

America.





please take a moment out of your day and 

give this post a read.



I want to make something clear to every person who has


attending college over the last 4 years with the assistance of

 federally funded student loans and grants, your education 

would not be possible under a Romney Ryan presidency. I 

am so proud to be a college graduate and I thank President

 Obama for that, my parents thank him for that; I think 

everyone should be thankful that I could get an education,

 get a job, buy a home with my best friend, purchase durable 

goods (washer,dryer, refrigerator), and pay taxes that fix 

roads, pay for public education, and fund programs for my 

grandparents.

A little mud slinging from either side should not blind you to 

the apparent facts....if America chooses the wrong president 

everyone who doesn't already have money will never ever get money

The cycle will repeat

and we will fall into a regression again and again and again

Top down economy will never work...rich people don't 

believe in America anymore. They would much rather go live

 in their mansion in Dubai than spend their money

 re-investing in the American Dream

Long Live Obama
May he help American in our time of need

Remodeling the upstairs

Last time I tried this post the pictures were quite poor quality so I am going to try again...
Our upstairs bathroom was decent but in need of some serious work....and while we are at it the girl and I wanted the laundry room up there as well. Here we go...


 This was a whole bunch of fun!! Plaster is definatly not awesome to tear down. I was having a rough time until I went to the hardware store and got a Saw Zaw...this little tool made things much easier. Make sure to wear eye protection and a face mask when removing plaster.



This will be our new space for the laundry room....we took some space from a third bedroom to make the laundry area an acceptable size

Ravaged Artwork: the many employees of WTP

The food industry is an excellent place to meet interesting people...if you have never been a waiter or line cook I do suggest you give it a try at least for a little while so you may better understand what it is like to live on 8.50$ an hour....if you are lucky


One day before I started work I came in to see a wall of old pickle buckets
Instead of taking the buckets to the trash my awesome scummy coworker decided to illustrate the many employees of the pub.
At first I found this very childish and a vast waste of time....however upon further investigation a lot of thought and hard work went into a few of these...
