Chick-fil-a Thursday:

Can you believe it?!?!  Two days in a row with a new post! (sidenote: this was supposed to be uploaded last night, but McAlisters' internet was slow) Either we have a lot of downtime on our hands or we're making videos while we're "on the clock."  I'm not gonna tell you what the answer is.  

(Just kidding Fella/Puddy/Opee/High Five)

However, the following entry shares a weekly adventure we tag along with our Thursday town run...

A&M Tailgate

<self explanatory>

such a great weekend (minus the aggie loss) with great people!

Signing off in the words of Paul Carnahan "...I will only dance to ONE song..."

Why the long wait?

We have to apologize for the long wait between posts.  For the past month, we have spent more time on the road (hanging out with our dearly missed summer staff) then we have in Tyler.  That sets up a tough environment for video blogs....but hopefully the longest break is behind us and we'll get back to regularly scheduled video blogs!

LAKE DAY!

This weeks Staff Chapel was spent at the Shores for an event known as Lake Day! It happens two times a year and quickly became one of the highlights of the year!

The following documents our Adventure...

Day 17-20: The One with Braden

So we had a visitor this weekend.  The Ranch's very own Braden "Hip Bone" Shaffer came in town to work the ropes course and help out with work crew.  Also Jon's squeeze Ms. (soon to be Mrs.) Sweet Pea came in to help as well.  Let's check in with Braden to see how the weekend went...

Signing off in the words of Lance Sisco..."Sweet Deal!"

So with great co-workers, great summer staff, and a great group (mixed with a little rain) you have a successful first retreat!

Signing off in the words of Taylor Jarvis (intentional misspell)..."Bring the NOISE!!"

Day 1:

The day has finally dawned.  A day that will live in infamy... or hilarity. You decide.

Jarratt "Brief Thief" Calvert and Jon "Opa!" Quick have started working at Pine Cove.


And we want to share it with the world.


Documented here are the records of our adventures and antics on the grounds of the Ranch.  Stay tuned. We may give you a shout out... (or make fun of you). Either way, you won't want to miss it.
