MONSTER PUMPKIN!

I took the following picture with my camera phone at Wal-Mart. They made a 15 foot pumpkin out of different varieties of Pepsi and Mountain Dew. I thought it was really cool. I couldn't pass up taking a picture of it.

We have a winner!

Well, here we are! I checked the poll 11 hours before it was supposed to close and noticed that I had a tie between "The Welcome Matt" and "Matt's Matters" with 5 votes each, and one vote going to "Matt's Mindless Meanderings." I thought I was going to have a recount/tiebreaker round to choose the new blog title. Well, sometime during the last 11 hours that the poll was open, someone else voted and narrowly squeaked out a win for "The Welcome Matt"!!! Congratulations are in order for Mrs Barb Love - good friend of my parents - for the winning suggestion! I want to thank you all for voting! This has been really fun! I do apologize for not promptly announcing the winner as I was so busy this last weekend, I didn't get a chance to go online and check the results. If I have not done so by the time you read this, I will shortly be changing the page to the new title and will be adding a couple of new posts. Thanks for all of your great names and thanks again for voting. I hope you all had as much fun as I did!

They Work!!

After over a year of no dashboard lights, they randomly decided to work tonite! How weird is that? I never tried to replace the lights because it was too much of a pain to take my airbag and steering wheel off and then take the dash off to get to the lights. I would just turn on the dome light occassionally to check my speed. So the lights on the left half are working but the right side is still off. Fortunately, the warning lights etc always worked...except for my gas light. :-)

THE Matt

Hi! I thought I would throw in a picture of me for those of you who haven't seen me in awhile. This was taken with my camera phone. The quality was better than I expected.

FINALLY!!!

Yes, finally, I posted my poll that I promised. Just look on the side bar under the "About Me" section. You can't miss it! Anyways, enjoy! It will be available until early on October 8th. Don't wait til the last minute or you might miss out! If it's a pretty close call between 2 or 3 of the choices, we might need to have a playoff round as well. Have fun! Keep checking back to see how your pick is doing!! If you'll notice, I also added a weather station so you can check on how much rain has dumped on me today! Seriously, though, you can check out my weather then link to where you can check the forcast for your area. I also added a place where you can subscribe to my blog via e-mail and a guestbook that I would like everyone to sign! Check them all out and let me know what you think!
