AKA BS'ing around the fire.

"Now get some wood on the fire and get this place warm!!!!!!"

Morning folks. Now that I've got you up and moving, I'll be in my office for a couple of more hours doing paperwork. I will not be disturbed. Understand?

I thought it was holiday routine! What is all the yelling about? Now I know what the guys at Peral must have felt like!

I just threw another log on the fire and let the dog out.

Anything else you want me to do?

Mm-m-m-mornin all.
Weather is deceptive.
Bright sunshine, no winds, but temps hovering around 12* this AM.
Min-Pin set a new whizz record for fastest time.

1/2 pot of coffee still in the kitchen, hot oatmeal, and protein shake breakfast is done.
Not planning on doing much today........might have to schedule a power-nap.

4 days 'til Wifey gets home.
Mixed blessing.
Sure has been quiet around here.

Y'all B safe,

Got the center console lighting done and finished up the power routing for the satellite radio Yesterday. No fun working in 40 degree weather with a 15 mph wind blowing through the truck. Wished the DC engineers would add a power distribution box inside the cab for additional power taps. Would have made life a whole lot easier.

Didn't plug in and when I fired her up you would have thought the mosquito comminsion was driving donwn the road foggin for bugs....... With this chill I am glad I did my service on friday when it was warm, no way I'd be out there in weather like this changing a fuel filter. coffee's half gone so I'm only half up..... coincidence? I think not....... hmmmmm gotta look into this day of left turns, isn't there a race or somthing goin on later??????/ begoodstaywarm&feedup

Single digits here... roads were fine up north, but they got hit with a squal here early and now we're cleaning everything up. 3 cars for the whole patrol area today.... can you say looong wait? maybe some of the legislators will be stuck out there and realize how bad they hacked the budget. Got the wreckers takeing fuel out with them so they can have heat while they wait. Usually the ones that crash don't necessarily stay on top of things like filling the fuel tank.

Shortround , you woke me and forced me to go to work for a little while, Nooo, maybe it was my pager, I dunno!!!
Dang it was cold out side at 6:30. little temp thingey said 21. Not much ice here the worst was north of us, Check T-7's pictures.
Forgot to plug in the truck last night, After cycling the key a couple of times this morning, it fired up but complained. I told it that I didn't want to be up and moving either, but if I had to it had to.
Coffees up and have built a fire in fireplace, AHHHH, warm inside and out.
Have good day all!!!

REVIELLE, REVIELLE !!! The stew-burner is in the galley whippin up a batch of sausage and rice ... In polished off the first pot of mud and eyeballing the next pot.

Finally made it home for a couple weeks. Spent two weeks in sunny San Diego for school and meeting up with a bunch of buddies. Felt good to thaw out for a while.

Airline lost my luggage and had to drive through a heck of a snow storm but finally made it to the house at 0330. Sure is good to be home !!

Have a productive day ... just bring a heater along with you !!
