Sorry for not posting but it's been sort of recovery since the weekend.
The t-shirts have arrived and they look awesome! Color print on the front and my wonderful sponsors on the back. Get ’em while you can! Shout out to Larry and the crew at Applied Graphics for all their hard work!The bike jersey will be arriving via FedEx (shout out to my buddy Keith Hill) and I’m giddy like Christmas morning! It will be one of the coolest jersey’s seen around Arkansas and beyond this summer.
We got word from Energizer that the big pink bunny is coming to ACH!! Looking like it will be
here the Wednesday (June 27th) morning before the ride! I can’t wait! Energizer has gone over the top for us and we are very thankful to have them as a part of this.Someone asked me the other day if I really used the products of my sponsors. Trust me, this is no brown nose thing. I use all of them! Energizer makes the best hearing aid batteries around.
We got an email from FRS (www.frs.com) yesterday and they want to help out too! Ok, if you have been reading a while you know I’m an FRS snob! Love this stuff! If you want to become an FRS snob link over to them and you can get FREE stuff from them to try. You just pay for shipping. The orange stuff is really good to drink and it doesn’t hurt my tummy when I’m really hot and tired. They have these chewable candy stuff that reminds me of Starburst and the Lemon-lime ones or tha bomb! Hey FRS… you guys are alright!
Oh, if you have a Java City nearby, try their new drink!! Espresso Frio! Mick Jagger is singing Start Me Up in the background. This mixture has a horse kick! TRIPLE SHOT baby!! Uh-huh, you heard me!! 3 shots of espresso mixed into this drink. I had one the other afternoon and was
buzzing big time by the time I got home and mowed my yard, cut tree limbs, and cleaned the garage. Everyone knows I live for my walk across the parking to our awesome Java City in the hospital lobby. I remember the day Java City opened like the day my kids were born! Ya think I’m kidding don’t you?! I remember walking over there with coworkers and walking right up to the counter and ordering a Mocha Javalanche at 9 o’clock in the morning. I remember my coworkers joking with me about how I already knew what it was when it was the first day they opened. Hey, I do my coffee café homework! HA! We are able to use our badges and have it taken out of our checks and once I checked to see how much I used over a course of 6 months. Y’all don’t even want to know. It was several Ben Franklins! Once I ordered and punched in my number and it kicked back out! I over charged my limit! Everyone laughed and laughed… including me! It’s just a small part of your paycheck but I was on my 2 a day kick.Looks like the weekend will take me to Searcy and back early Saturday morning for a 90 mile ride. Might keep going if the day’s plans allow. This will be the last long ride before the River 2 River. Oh, I’ll be out riding but just not for hours on end.
More and more friends are giving the thumbs up and jumping on the ride! I’m floored by the number who want to start in Ft Smith! Folks are taking the day off to come ride for the kids who have hearing impairments! It’s just the coolest thing!!
Ok, the midweek tornado siren just went off! It’s noon on Wednesday which means the week is half over! It’s down hill from here kids!! It also signals the end of my lunch break... bummer!
By the way, we need some more money to help us to the goal of $15,000. Please donate and help a kid who has a hearing impairment! You’ll be a hero!
