Was gonna post some offshore pics for those who are interested but all my pics of offshore are on my hard drive at home. Might have to do it next week.

Today is meeting day, whoopee.... I hope my enthusiasm is as obvious as my sarcasm.

Thanks, I thought It came out pretty decent too. It has a few little flaws but its good enough for me.

Those offshore pics sound interesting.

We had meetings in the shop today as oppose to our usual BSing sessions. Lots of talks about how our insurance costs are gonna go through the roof soon.

Went and watched T4 tonight, it was pretty good, the ending was a little weak. Saw Star Trek the other day, too, it was really good. I hope they come out with more.

Good looking truck, Matt.

Ok, that's it. See ya'll in the morning/evening.
Good job on the test Mark. I've heard the same reviews on both movies from friends. I still wanna see both. Thanks for the compliment about the truck, got it nice looking so it can make its home on the shelf for a few yrs. Showed it to dad since it was his when he was a kid, he was pretty impressed too.


Evening DTR, tired and drained feeling today. Lots of money stuff and cost cutting going on at work right now, every dept is upside down at the moment because of it and seems like everyone is stressed out too.

Went to the Jeep dealer with the GF after work. They called and said they had a jeep for her to look it, nice one but it was more than she wants to spend. So she's still looking around. Watched Deadliest Catch and at dinner at her place tonight. Neither one of us felt like cooking much so we had good old Mac and Cheese with some hot dogs.

Relaxing a bit and reading a train magazine i got in the mail yesterday.

Unfortunately, just got word that I'll be exempt from the furlough days, so no extra fishing time like I hoped.

This week! Fortunately, there are plenty who need baby sitting for job security. It's just that it's a full time job reminding management that they need us more than they think they do and they aren't gonna get better service elsewhere. When that's out of they way, we can get to actually DOING the job.

Evenin' all!

I'm trying to get all of the nights work done soon so I can coast for the rest of the night. I expect a busy one tomorrow cause the warrant task force is in town and pulling an all nighter......


Here's a pot for the night guys.

Mornin! Coffee's on for normal folk, foo and tea for the others.

Welcome to the breakroom, Totallyrad! Why don't you tell us a little about yourself?

Yeah, Matt, they are both pretty good. I'll keep the rest of it to myself, I don't want to ruin it for you.

Got some things to do tonight, good stuff. See ya'll. Have a good hump day.

I noticed... I just don't care!

Good morning all.

On this day in 1784 - The United States Congress created the United States Army.

1805 - A peace treaty between the U.S. and Tripoli was completed in the captain's cabin on board the USS Constitution.

1938 - The German Reich voted to confiscate so-called "degenerate art."

1940 - Germany bombed Paris, killing 254 people. Most of the people killed were civilians and school children.

1959 - The first class graduated from the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO.

We can always use a good hand. Come on down and meet us Cajuns, and learn what real cooking is about, not to mention real welding (STICK that is)

Just love it when the Boys in Blue have a good day. BTW Im a former LEO so I know what they go thru.

Morning all, Coffee is good, Redbull chaser goes with it. Internet was in and out yesterday, not much time online. Did go and visit a small lodge in this area last night, met a warm welcome from the brothers. Got back to the camper and watched a show on Discovery called Life after People or something to that effect, Really interesting.

Good to hear from ya T rad! hope your trip was pleasant! sounds like you could have picked up some good lawn furniture.....^^^^^^

Blake, you will do just fine here on DTR! lotsa LEOs....
maxx traxx they are and very well for rugged terrain, hard surface juts and frozen sleek surface. or, as in th ephoto, they work well for the ATM run at night during a poker game. gotta love the North country here in NY.
they just cost a lot WHEN you have to fix them, so I am told.

nice to see everyone in, sad to see the economic situation affecting so many good guys. even you chaiwka, should sheep ever get unionized....

paperwork and errands, Madhat why did you have a suit?

later gators,
heidi out
