Fire BAD!!

Well this is getting ridiculous.

Jana and I are stuck in some ridiculous Chevy Chase movie.

Everything is going wrong.

First the Dog get’s hurt.

Then the dog get’s overdosed.

Then we find out that the HeatPump is trashed to the tune of “get yourself a new heating system”.

For the record… those things aint cheap.

Jana’s not enjoying this little comedy of errors.

But then it got worse.

The past several days we’ve had no heat.

(The new system is being installed today)

So to keep warm we’ve been living in the downstairs living room.

We’ve put up plastic sheets to cut off air flow to the rest of the house and outdoors.

We are running an area heater and the fireplace non-stop.

I won’t go into the details because it’s

a) It’s too ridiculous

b) I don’t have time… I’m at work.

But to top it all off the carpet in our living room got burned.

Apparently pre-historic cave people manage fire better than yours truly.

So now we need new carpet.

To pay for it (and this damned heater) I think I’m going to put together a book of the BEST DougMeade.com Blogs.

Included will be several Blogs saved from the old DougMeade.com lost when the HackBas destroyed almost all of it.

A TRUE COLLECTORS ITEM WITH BLOGS NO LONGER AVAILABLE ONLINE!!

It’ll make a great coffee table book.

This little ice breaker will start many a great conversations!

It will probably retail for $49.95 (hey producing a nice looking coffee table book takes $$$)

I figure I need to sell at least 100 of them.

A cheaper .PDF version will be available for purchase online for immediate download.

Here's what people are saying about this post:

Damn, you two have had a run of some bad luck lately! I feel bad for you both . Hopefully things change soon!

As to the book piece, put me on the list, because I would definitely buy one of your blog coffee table books. I love your’s and your brother’s (David’s) stories. So “HOOK ME UP”.

I am also sending some positive energy your way, so that your run of bad luck disappears, and all the good luck starts coming your way. Can you feel it?? If not, it will soon show up, because I don’t know if David told you or not, but I have connections upstairs.

PEACE!!!

nice idea for the book. We should make

“Memerable moments from the Triad - Volume 1″

That reminds me of the time the pledges started a fire in the fireplace at the house. They had the things running so hot it sounded like a freight train. That was right before the heat cracked the chimney.

Was Hodge tending the fire?

LOL!!

Oh man…

Last time we got a Christmas tree it reminded me of the time Reed “Aquired” a tree for us.

Good times.

The Memorable Moments of the Triad book would have to have an “email” chapter, in which the contents of the “Meade East Peace Treaty” would be included. That was a classic email.

Sorry bout your luck Doug. I should be able to help in one department on Saturday.

Laughing! I remember that too - the tree had to “disappear”. Chainsaws all day hacking the thing up. It was like a mob hit and we had to make the body unrecognizable. I still don’t know how you “borrow” a 30-foot evergreen from somebody and they don’t hear you “borrowing” it. To this day I don’t know where they dumped “the body”. (If I use quotes one more time today I’ll be over my quota.)

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody as PO’d as Gray was that day. I don’t blame him - I was more stunned than anything else.

I was duly impressed.

And horrified.

But impressed.
