The Shortarmguy Family had a relatively lame week. We didn't do much, although we did get a chance to go and swim in Grandma's pool on Tuesday night. We all like to wear goggles to help us see under the water. It's just amazing how many incredibly nasty things are floating around us that we wouldn't even notice if we didn't have such clear vision!
Avery and I are working on perfecting a trick where he stands on my shoulders, then does a back flip, and finally lands on my shoulders again in the exact same position. This is as far as we've gotten.
Work is very busy this summer. The Nor-Tech tech room is building machines as fast as they possibly can and yet the orders keep piling up outside. For as much doom and gloom there is in the media about an economic slowdown, we're certainly not seeing it lately.
Our manufacturing did have to take a brief break on Thursday when a massive storm suddenly rolled through Burnsville. Here's a video on Startribune.com that was taken nearby Nor-Tech. We lost power for several hours and ended up having to close down for the day! The lead time for computers just got a little bit longer! Sorry to my customers!
I'm not sure how much rain fell, but we had a river going down the street in front and the rear of our parking lot became a pond for a short time. These photos were taken by my old buddy, Steve "Cuds" Cuddihy. He has more pictures here and here on his website, Twin Cities Daily Photo.com.
On Saturday, we made a trip to the Minnesota Zoo again to visit our newest friends, the Grizzly Bears. At first, I thought they appeared a lot more gold and metallic then I remembered from our previous visit.
Avery snapped this shot of the three bears in various positions as they all attempted fishing for large trout swimming in the pool around them. It was fun watching them swim around trying to catch fish with their massive paws. Unfortunately, they didn't catch any while we were there so we didn't get to see them feast.
After the zoo, we went to see the new movie, Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D. I give the movie one Big Thumb Up as I found it to be a quite enjoyable family film. The 3D effects are very cool and the plot is simple, pleasant, and somewhat engaging. Don't get me wrong. If it wasn't in 3D, I'd say to skip it because there's not that much to it. But when you see the piranha and dinosaur flying out of the screen at you, it makes for a fun afternoon! Although I did catch Luke and Avery sneaking their glasses off at some of the more intense scenes in the movie!
Shortarmguy.com reached a milestone this week when the Shortarmguy Store had it's first sale of the Official Shortarmguy Thong! Some lucky girl in Arizona is going to be able to walk around in comfort knowing that her most private parts are well protected by a replica of the Shortarmguy Tattoo! Hopefully this is the beginning of a trend!

Shortarmguy's Emails To Make You Think Email Shortarmguy at Shortarmguy@aol.com July 13, 2008 I got these pictures today. Apparently they were taken in British Columbia. We've been seeing a pair of swans on our lake this summer and often see eagles hunting, usually for ducks or fish but one had set his sights on a loon last summer. These pictures are amazing. So here is the swan photo. What a beautiful bird, so graceful and majestic.
Here comes the Eagle!!! You can actually see feathers flying from the swan.
It is attempting to actually escape death in the air!
The eagle is losing his grip on the swan in this picture.
Now the eagle has just lost his grip on the swan completely.
At this point the swan starts falling straight down. The swan falls into the water below, swims away and the eagle just looks on at his 'lost' prey. I am amazed at these pictures because I have NEVER seen an eagle attack or tackle something so big in mid-air before.
