evening...err...Morning everyone!

Thanks for starting the new one Don!

Mark, throw the pad lock on the door of the old breakroom. We don't want Claude wandering there again.

I was MIA today, had two birthday parties to attend today. One was for a friends daughter, it was her first b-day. The other was for a friend that turned 27. Went to dinner tonight and then to the casino boats. I don't gamble so I just watched and drank some beer while we were there.

G'night everyone.

A fine good morning to all. Gorgeous day down here - - I think - - up behind all those clouds and rain and WWHHHOOOOOOPPPPSSS, ducking the lightning. Rain for the next three days according to "the man."

Sore this morning - - been two days working on a motorhome for a good friends widow. He has been gone five years. I warned her to sell it right away - - she wouldn't. Couldn't part with it - - to many memories. Finally realized I was right and called for "HELP." Took two days just to wash the gook off from roof to ground. She has started it periodically, kept fuel treatment in it, so it started and runs beautiful. But, wow, do I have a lot of work left before it is ready to hit the road. Gorgeous unit - - 38', double slide, 4 door refrig, 5500 Onan, back up camera, auto level jacks, Wineguard seeking sat dome. It is a '99 with 12,000 miles. Someone could get steal. It is a very pretty unit.

Off to church. See ya later hopefully. Have a good one.

SoreBob

Good morning everybody from Paradise. Another great day weather wise today. A couple of days ago about 5 p.m. we had a sudden huge rain storm with a lot of hail. It only lasted for about 30 minutes, but left floods all over the city as the storm drains just could not handle this sudden volume of water. At around 3 p.m. most of the sky was still semi cloudless, so it did hit very fast.

This place is a bit cramped today. What is all this sawdust on the floor?

Still working on a pet project with some friends that will take over a year to complete. This is something new and somewhat revolutionary for Mexico. Anybody got $21,000,000 dollars they want to invest with excellent ROI?

Wife is in Mexico City this weekend to celebrate her fathers 97th birthday with her family. His is a true gentleman and I have never ever seen him without a suit, normally a three piece suit. Don't think that he has ever owned a pair of jeans in his life.
