Shout out to…

The new Reader Of The Week….All the way from the big apple, Jon ‘Farnatron” Farnum! Farnum invented the international sign of awesomeness (thumbs up followed an “OK” sign) and coined the term “Montana happens”. For example, if Nebel threw a wall paper roll at Mikey but missed and put a hole in the wall, you could say “Eh, Montana happens”. Farnum is an east coast reader without an east coast bias. You can collect your drink memorial day weekend, feel free to wash your face and iron your shirt before going out to collect.

Shout out to…

And a bonus shout out to Mitchell Raun Thompson on his birthday!! Friday birthday this year, well done, hope you have a fun weekend planned. You probably want to make sure and enjoy this one considering next year you’ll be in your 30s. I remember whenever I went to get you a present for your birthday it was really hard because I usually wanted whatever I was giving you. I think i’d at least get one toy out of the deal at the store, thanks mom.

This is really interesting…

I can’t remember a longer week. I mean it’s not like it was a bad week, but the entire time it felt a day ahead. Yesterday I realized it was Thursday and not Friday on about 5 different occasions, incuding the first time when I told my boss “I can’t focus to save my life on a Friday”, “It’s Friday lets go somewhere fun for lunch” and when I left work and wanted to shout at the top of my lungs outside “It’s Friday!!”, until I realized it was still only thursday Anyways our beer pong party was supposed to start 14 minutes ago but everyone’s still working, i’m not sure if i should say something or what

This is really interesting…

We had a big new release to Whrrl this week – not really sure if that means anything to anybody reading, but there’s a link about it if anyone wants to read it. There’s obviously a lot more information out there and on the pelago blog

The Soapbox:

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone!! Montana Fun Fact of the Day: “In Montana the elk, deer and antelope populations outnumber the humans.” I can’t believe I made it as long as I did without a pocket knife. I also can’t believe we call them “the humans” in fun facts. “She must have meant ten o’ clock at night! I just figured she was a raging alcoholic!”

Well considering I was at the office from 9AM – 10PM yesterday nothing has really happened since I last updated besides me going to bed, so this again might be a stretch. “Are there such things as horse socks? Is anybody listening to me?”

Lately I’m thinking…

Nebel, please don’t talk about golf when it’s frickin windy and raining – i can see white caps on the sound right now and thought I saw snow earlier (turns out they were pedals because all the trees got tricked into it being summer last week and bloomed) Uh anyways, back to the “point”, as if i had one. Oh ya, it’s coming full circle now…speaking of golf, here’s a picture of Mariah and I golfing. Heather had a good point about the photo that pretty much hit the nail on the head, “this encompasses many of the reasons why i beat you at golf.”

Currently reading…

I got an evite from work for a beer pong contest in the office tomorrow. I was pretty excited about that, until I remembered what usually happens to me playing beer pong, and i’m not sure there’s a great intersection between that and being at work

Currently reading…

Well Chip Kelly really backed himself into a corner with this whole jeremiah masoli / lamichael james thing. One of my favorite parts about the whole thing is their incidents are completely unrelated, but they both have their court dates on the same day tomorrow. Maybe everyone can carpool? Click here for an article about kelly’s tough spot (if you even care. i’m pretty much over it and actually think he might hand down a hard punishment sometime today. or at least that’s what everyone would assume he would do)

Welcome to the Wednesday edition of the gadget, the most consistently disapointing update of the week! Ya’ll come back now

This is really interesting…

Here’s an old picture of Jakers and I roping Brittney and taking her down. I don’t remember what happened next but I like to think I tied up her hands and feet really quick and then motioned to the rodeo official to stop the time, as opposed to her getting up, calling us “dummies” and hitting us, which is more likely what happened. Anyways, the moral of the story is I should have been cowboy

This is really interesting…

I’ve done a pretty good job of hiding Steph from catalogs and things, but yesterday I noticed she was browsing a lot of Internet consumer sights. She then jumped up and said, “when I get tons of money i’m going to buy tons of stuff!” I thought that was pretty profound on it’s own, until she said “I’m going to buy 8 comforters, one for every month”

Lately I’m thinking…

Since the Montana fun facts were such a hit from yesterday (0 responses,obviously) I’m going to make it a regular feature for the rest of the month, maybe even longer! So here you go, this week’s much anticipated MONTANA FUN FACT OF THE DAY: The average square mile of land contains 1.4 elk, 1.4 pronghorn antelope, and 3.3 deer.

The Soapbox:

(please note, 1.4 elk is an average, it doesn’t have anything to do with half-elks running around on 2 legs). Moving on………..”The human torch was denied a bank loan. “

Tanner you’re smart planning a week’s worth of pictures, gadgets just seem so much easier when the picture is lined up. Instead I’m sitting here scrolling through my photobucket account trying to find one I didn’t already use last week. Out of 3 pictures I was going to use this one took 3rd, but i decided to use it anyway, basically for no reason other than I’m unpredictable! what am i talking about? Anyways, I rode this bike to the gas station all by myself and rigged up the beer and ice, so i was pretty happy with myself. Scratch that, REALLY happy with myself. Unfortunately, half the ice melted on the 5 minute ride home, but seriously, what can ya do, it was hot!

This is really interesting…

Well after a 60 degree saturday with patio beers and flip flops Seattle tied a record low last night. Hey Seattle, Montana called and they want their crazy weather swings back!

This is really interesting…

Seriously though, Montana holds the U.S record for all time temperature range with the record low being -70 in January and the record high being 117 in July. What’s EVEN CRAZIER is Montana is the WORLD record holder for the greatest temperature change in 24 hours: 103 degrees! It went from -54 to 49 in Loma, MT in one day. KNOWLEDGE BOMB

Lately I’m thinking…

Unless you were in the market for some Montana fun facts and crappy random stories about last July, this update probably wasn’t for you. But seriously those weather facts are crazy

“I traded it for the van straight up. I can get 70 miles to the gallon on this hog”
