Metal Detecting the Search is On

Dear Diary,
Yup i did it.....i bought myself a Metal Detector.
And i just tried it out today....of course not outside cause of the 8" of snow.
I now know where every single nail is under my carpet....cool!
I was unable to detect a single trace of metal in my head,but i did find that my belt buckle is with out a doubt made of metal.
The kids came up clean which is....hmmmm....very curious cause i swear Shawn has a cast iron stomach.
But i do believe the doctor was right about Tyler passing the penny he swallowed last year.
Well thats all for today cause i just have to wait for the snow to clear.

Dear Diary,
Alright WHERE DID ALL THIS SNOW COME FROM?????
Thats just great.....just cause it's winter it's gonna snow GEEEEEZ.
I now know where all the nails and some Misc. plumbing are located in all the walls of the house.
I might of found an electrical line in a wall that shouldn't be there but the wife won't let me investigate further.
The wife just doesn't understand that i'm new at this and need the practice LOL.

Dear Diary,
Me and my detector sit in the window and pray for global warming.....or at least in ILLINOIS!!!

Dear Diary,
I had a really bad night last night dreaming about all the neat stuff i wanna find.

I sneaked up and peeked out the window and saw that my prayers for global warming over Illinois was not answered ;-(
Matter of fact it has gotten colder.
The snow doesn't look like it's going anywhere soon.
The wife wonders if i could shovel snow with the detector.....Grrrr.

Dear Diary,
This morning when i woke up i had a brainstorm.....ok and a headache too,but i'm not ready for that big day of hunting.
You see i live 100' from the river and there are 5 beaches that need searching.
These beaches are mostly on the other side of the river.
I need my boat rerigged and serviced.
That will take my mind off of hunting for a while.

Dear Diary,
I brought home some supplies to work on the boat.....glad i work for a marina.....got the stuff a little cheaper :-)~
First i gotta get the furnace going in the garage.......thats easy...i mean it's just a fuel oil furnace what's so hard about that?.

1-25-2000
Dear Diary,
NEVER EVER play with the electric ignition transformer on a fuel oil furnace......no matter how cool the electric arc looks......if it wasn't for a sturdy garage wall i would of flew all the way into the neighbors yard......and his dogs hate me when i fly into their yard unexpectently.
Anyway we have HEAT now....hmmm....if i leave it on high with the garage door open??.....Nahhh nevermind LOL.

1-26-2000
Dear Diary,
I'm kinda tired and sore so i'll be short.
The boat is ready and a (small note: if you drop a full outboard motor gas tank?....don't try and stop it with your foot) ~ OUCH ~

Dear Diary,
I bought a REALLY neat pair of head phones for the metal detector and they work great.
When i put on the head phones i can bareley make out what the kids are fighting about :-)
This is gonna be my last entry in my diary until i get in some treasure hunting.
I'm just gonna sit back and pray for sunshine for now.
See you later diary.

1-28-2000
Dear Diary,
GEEEEEEZ WHEN WILL IT END?????
Snow everywhere i look and with single digit temperatures.
I know i wasn't gonna make anymore entries but hey it's my diary LOL.

1-29-2000
Dear Diary,
Today i bought a 36" RCA Tv and now i can see that there's more snow coming.
But with more clarity and it makes me SICK!!
I'm thinking of returning it and buying a jack hammer so i can dig in the frozen ground.
It started snowing again a little while ago and they say we could get 5" of the fluffy white STUFF.

Dear Diary,
OMG it's 28° we are having a heat wave GRRRRR.
Today i had to put my metal detector in the closet cause the wife says shes tired of looking at it in the front room.
She's starting to get mean i think.
But she at least says i can wear the cool head phones.....she says i never listen anyways.
Thats not true cause i do listen sometimes.....ok once in a while.....Alright i should listen more....GEEEEZ.

2-5-2000
Dear Diary,
OH BOY!!! it's almost 29° outside i'm so....ummmm.....excited?
I bribed the kids into hiding stuff out in the snow so i can check out my new detector.
It cost me a buck a piece.....geeez when i was a kid it would of been a nickel.
After the kids hid a bunch of stuff i had to take them out to buy candy.
GEEEEEZ they wouldn't wait so off we went then when i got back i searched the whole yard.

NOTHING

This detector doesn't work @&%#$*&^@ now i have to return it GRRRR.
Me and the kids took off to return this piece of junk.
When we got to the store the clerk asked if he could help.
I told him that this hunk of junk couldn't find it's way down the toilet even if i put it there.
He asked how did i find out it was defective and i smiled.....well i had my kids hide stuff around the yard and it couldn't find a single piece.
What did they put out for you he said.
Tell them kids.....well we put a bunch of spoons and forks all over the yard they said.
OMG i said mom is gonna kill us.
Don't worry dad we used the plastic ones so mom wouldn't get mad.
~BLUSH~....ummmm....nevermind ....ummm....we probably should....ummm....try it again huh?
LOL Kids ya gotta love them and ummmm does anyone know of a way to get a wife to stop laughing so she can catch her breath??
Hmmm i guess i'll wait until she passes out.
