It's been a while

Here are some updates on things.

1. Work has been crazy busy. I've been putting in around 80hr weeks, but it hasn't been that bad untill lately. Getting burnt out, need to take some time off.

2. Went to a Vikings game last month. Pretty sweet. Historical game. Adrian Peterson broke the single game rushing record, and Antonio Cromartie broke a record of longest TD every. He ran back a missed GF 109.9 yrds. That record will never be broken.

3. Tracy's pregancy is coming along good. Everything looks good. We find out what the sex is next week, I think. Maybe 2 weeks, anyways it's pretty exciting. We both thought it was a boy at first, now we are thinking another girl.

4. Madison. She is growing up so fast. She's pretty smart, and loves to put on a show for guests. She a little showboat. Here is her showing off to her cousin, and walking around with a Dr Pepper box on. I cut a hole in it, so she can see. There is also a picture of me and her getting ready to go outside.

Anyways, if anybody is going to in the ND area for the holidays let me know.

Happy Halloween

Madison wishes everybody a Happy Halloween.

Because she's not having one.

Hello Everybody

I can't believe how fast time is flying by. 3 weeks into the football season, Madison is already 18 months old, and we are expecting are second child. Hard to believe that I will be responsible for 2 babies now.

Other than that, not much new around here. Been working alot, watching football, and trying to get our basement finished. Here are some updated photos of the basement and madison.

Madison says hello everybody.




Here are some before and after of the basement. Slow process.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) - A body found in a coulee has been identified by family members as former Grand Forks city councilman Duane Lunak.
Police did not immediately release the name. But Cathy Galstad, Lunak's sister, said police confirmed her brother's identity Tuesday afternoon.
The partially-clothed body was found floating in the English Coulee near Altru Hospital in Grand Forks on Monday morning, police said.
Lunak lived in an apartment several blocks away, his sister said.
"We really don't know what happened," Galstad said.
An autopsy was scheduled for Tuesday night, Police Lt. Rahn Farder said






RIP Duane

Nothing really new

Nothing new here. Working alot. Going out to Ottertail Lake for a family reunion ,Tracy's side of the family, this weekend. Here is a picture of Madison taking a walk with Grandpa Diddy. My new email is robblunak@yahoo.com . If anybody was wondering.

Funny Stuff

I we used to talk about something like this back in the day.

I needed to some blogger updates. So here we go.




Here's is my front yard. It's growing pretty good. The grass near the road I killed. They are putting in a sidewalk soon.



Backyard. The lake justed dried up back there. I'm waiting for everything to die before a bring some dirt in. I'll probably do that later this summer, when it cools down.


Madison's first pool swim.


Madison's first boat ride.



Madison's first fishing trip with grandpa.

Memorial Day Fun

Here are a couple of pictures of a house burning down. It happened about 3 blocks from our house. If you zoom in there's a pickup burning. Pretty cool. This is as close as I would get. The heat it produced was amazing.


And heres a picture of Grandma and Madison.

Madison wishes you a Happy Memorial Day.

Train VS Farm Equipment

This happened last week near Sutton ND. A tractor pulled out in front of this engine, which was going 60 mph. The tractor , I guess, was fine but the piece of equipment he had behind him, looked like a pretzel. That was gone when I got there. But here are some pictures I got of the engine.

Long Time

It's been a long time since my last post. I do have an excuse. Our computer was broken for the month of April. Had to bring it in to get fixed.

I've been spending alot of my free time doing home improvements. So I'm going to copy Heather and Brian and do a little post about it.



Heres a picture of the basement living room, right when you would walk in. You can see the framing me and my dad did. I also sheetrocked above. At a stand still until my dad can come to town with his pickup. I need some more studs.




This is going to be Madison's play area.


Here's a picture of the living room again. Hopefully there will be a fireplace and a flat screen TV on the wall. Going to have to wait a while for that, but it should be nice.

This is our front yard. I've recently worked up the soil and planted a test patch of grass. Wait and see if it grows.


This is a picture of the back yard. We are hoping there will be grass and a deck by summer's end. But it's a swamp right know. Lot's of weed pulling, and I also need some dirt hauled in to raise it up. It's lower than our neighbors so we have a small lake in our back yard. I'm thinking about dividing it up and selling lakeside lots. What do you think?? Lunak Lake Estates. Anyways lots of work, lots of dreaming, we'll see how far we get.

Clapton

Tracy and I went and saw Clapton last Friday at the Fargodome. I saw him 6 years ago, and I think it was better then. A little too much blues for me, but overall a good show.

Madison Bday

It was Madisons birthday last Saturday. She had much fun. I don't know how many toys a 1yr old needs, but she has tons. I also went back to work last Friday. I had not worked since Superbowl Sunday. It's been a shock to the system.

Tracy also got a promotion at work last week. It was an exciting week. Anyways I worked last night and have only gotten 3 hours of sleep, got to go. Here are some updated pics of the family.

Just thinking

I was doing the dishes this morning listening to the radio and I first heard song that was originally from Dirty Dancing but remixed. Then they played a remixed version of a SuperTramp song. Are the new artists today really that desperate. Whats next, a remixed version of Spices Girls or Ace of Base. I shouldn't even call these people artist. All I have to say is that these people are really creative.

What's up

Well, I haven't heard anything about the job in Kansas yet. I've almost given up on it, but I'm sure as soon as I do they will call me for an interview. Typical railroad procedure.

Last week I took an option the RR was offering. They pay you to sit at home. Not too bad. I get to be with Madison all day. I'm looking for another job right now to make some extra money in my spare time. Last weekend Tracy and I did a pracs study. As you guys might know, I can't stand giving blood. Well, they gave us a pill in the morning and some time goes by. Now it's time to give our first blood draw. I get up to the stand, clean my arm, and right when the lady is about to stick me a man comes charging in and yells "everybody stop". Here they gave us the wrong pill and the study was shot. So they paid us for 1/2 the study and I didn't have to give any blood. It's a miracle.

Speaking of Madison, she turns 1 on March 10. We are having a BB party. If anybodys going to be in the area let me know. I'll spend an invite. She learned how to clap and point, pretty cute. Here are some new pictures.

Lets See

Well lets see. Its been a long time since I actually posted something. My work has been in the toilet lately. I'm very close to being laid off. BNSF has been laying people off around the country. Pretty soon it will be my turn. So I'm trying to get a job in Newton Kansas being an assistant trainmaster. It's about 20 miles north of Wichita. Tracy and I are pretty excited. She'll be able to great a much better job in Wichita. Plus I'm sick of the below zero weather.

Work has been really slow, so me and my dad are working on finishing the basement right know. It's kind of a slow process, but its getting there.

Madison is 10 months old now. Shes getting big. She learned how to crawl on Thanksgiving morning. I think she's a month away from walking, then you better watch out. Here are some pictures of her.

Happy New Year
