Cool. I wanna do a little hunting, maybe a little fishing, and check out some sites. It'll be a few years, I want all the kids to be able to enjoy it, so I gotta let the little one grow a bit.

Mornin all

First day back and had to put in some overtime loading all those tubes we changed out. Wouldn't have had to but the trucks didn't show till around 1300. Talked to the guy thats in charge of selling them. 200,000$ for each truck X five. Not bad $$$ for scrap. Going to Pittsburgh PA. I can find out the route if anybody wants.

Caught a cold from somewhere. Seems like it's just in the lungs so far. Have to put off working out till I shake this or I'll die. Have a hard time taking a deep breath without coughing so a cardio workout wouldn't be a nice thing.

04 keep your mind on your work.

Hat breaking you in easy for only a half a shift today?

FO you just said what everyone was thinking. All that heat and humidity. OOOOH WEEEE Get out the fire hose Ethel.

Have to get at it. Want to go back to bed and rest. Have a good one drive safe and have fun.

Poor baby - - has to go back to work defending us. Sick em, tiger - - we appreciate ya.

Cloudy day down here today and the humidity is about 193.92%. Oh my goodness, yet the temp is not bad. Just stand out there and the sweat starts dripping. Forgot about summers in Florida - - I have been out somewhere every summer for quite a few years. Scotty, I am ready for that Canuck snowball scud - - bring it on.

OK, grabbing a cup of midday foo and off to the races - - see ya,

Bob

Been to the canyon there. quite a sight the way the walls drop straight down so far to the river. Did not know about the train tracks, though

dont tell the wife about the truck, she might say you have enough, even if you keep cutting them up,

she know about the truck, and about me. Been married for 22 years. Anyway, if I did another cummins conversion into an old seventies dodge, I'd have to sell one of them. Can't afford to insure them all.

and on the way home if your hungry stop at the snow cap in sisters get a milk shake frys and a burger with bacon, now i'm hungry see what you did? off to the fridge

man, we always stop at the sno-cap. good burgers, sorta reminds me of the ratburgers we have around here on casual Fridays.
Mornin' all. Afternoon to some.

Hat, sorry to see you back at work, but its about time you got that haircut. What was it 1/4 inch long. Dang hippy. Just funnin' ya.

Now to figure out what to do with the day. Wife would rather I bought another project than hang out on the puter all day.

Eric out.

Supposed to be working on drywall today but instead am watching a history channel show on toilets. Oh well, its related somehow. Glad everybody else seems to be doing well, but I just realized: I have been back now for a week and haven’t seen Heidi around, hope she’s OK. Must be on vacation like some of the others.

Mad, their food is very good. They are known for wings, thats what I get. They are big, you definately get your moneys worth imho. Now if you go to Buffalo Wild Wings and then go there you won't want to go to BWW again. At least here its like that, our local BWW has really skimpy food and its not worth the money. You should try QS&L sometime.

Had a good tuesday, even though we got screwed by the transportation dept today. Found out more info on the sale of my company, finally we have some good news that our sale will be going through. Going to Costco tonight with the GF and then we're making tacos for dinner. Gonna have some sweet tea, it was a hot one today.

Afternoon all.

Just got in from work. Party foul on my first beer. Knocked it over with my elbow when I turned around to get something. That's the kind of day it has been. Im lookin forward to putting a few back.

Sounds like everyone was productive today.

Madhat, welcome back to the work crew, what time you off?
