April Fools hangout. Pranks welcome. 4/1-4/7/12
Mornin' All!
Looks like a bunch of slackers on the East coast this AM . No one up to start the coffee and turn on the lights..... Not to worry, I got it.
I removed all the labels from the coffee cans so who knows what blend we're gonna get this week.
Let the pranks begin!
I gave the shrews Bark's state-side address.....

In other news, my 7yo got a 1st place prize in the district science fair!
Made for a short sleep yesterday but I made it to the awards ceremony. Well worth it to see her receive the award.

Mornin.
Scott, happy birthday again... hope you had a good one, buddy. Did you do anything?
Marc, good job on getting an A in the science fair! Our oldest is going to the regional one here I think.
My folks are in town for a few days, so I took a day or two off. I'm probably going to use it to catch up with some stuff.
Hope everyone is doing well. I've been stretched thin between work and the garage, always working on something.
