agree, slow here but no where else! was going to split wood today; relay went on boiler/water pump. sooo hubby doing that, I am changing his truck oil and maybe do my jeep in the meantime. this week has been king for unplanned projects.

wow, Northern- going to ex girl's brothers party. now there's some diplomacy!

Blake, gotcha on worm's status. maybe there's a pretty scientist on one of them rigs...good on Aiden's early learning too! get all ya can.

Matt's not been on, hope all is well.
alright, time to get to work here so I can play tomorrow!

Claude, can you pick up any space transmissions? like communication, not 48REs...

 

Heidi, was busy the last few days, work has been treating me very well. This morning granpda passed on, he went to sleep last night and didn't wake up this morning. It's sad but I'm happy he's not suffering the pain anymore from the bone cancer. He got to see my brother last night before he went to bed. He got to see everyone one last time so I think he felt like it was his time to go.

 

Mornin.

Sorry I have not been around, I've been jumping. Interesting week, busy weekend. I'm booked all weekend, no rest for the weary!

 

Matt> Sorry To Hear About Your Grandfather

Just Rember He Is In A Better Place Now &not Suffering Any Pain

Claude

 

It ain't budget cuts it's the stupid admin not realizing that some of us would prefer to stay on nights...... Waaaaaaaayyyy less headaches.

Sorry to hear that Matt. It was just this time last year I lost my Grandma. I know how you feel. Prayers for you and the family from up north.


Beautiful day up here in the notfrozenanymorenorthland! Weather guesser called for clouds and showers yesterday and today but he was wrong. Go figure. I went ahead and broke out the shorts for the summer. Got the truck washed last night. It really needs a coat or 2 of wax...... maybe when I get off this week.

 

Sorry to hear that Matt, but you're right, he's in a better place now.

You hear that T-Rad? He just called you stupid!

 

aw, Matt, hugs a Prayers for you and all family! let the good memories pour!
pour an Irish toast for yerself, wink.

went through hubby's truck and checked all systems, topped off fluids and lubed what little you can get to now. 130,000 and still looks good! even cleared out all the dead bugs between radiator and cooling panels #3, #2, #1 tranny cooler. all original equipment. even white Cummins and red Dodge paint on the head.

tried more stumps from beech tree, never cut down in winter/split in spring. gosh that thing is gnarly. splitter was stymied each time, four cuts, wedges, mauls and sledge to break it up. about 30 minutes a stump. whooped...

son doing well at work, gonna spend some time with him

 

Matt, so sorry. We all know that is life but it is still tough. Start remembering all the good times and fun - - that dries up the tears and puts a silly grin on your face at times you don't even realize it. My wife caught one of those looks on my face last week and said "OK, what are you thinking about now." I had been remembering my dad and I fishing in the Sierras and him sliding down a slick rock into the freezing cold stream. I sat down and about split a gut once I saw he made it to shore with no problems. He got out and chased me down and whooped on me a bit - - as much as a 5'8" slight built Englishman could whoop on a 16 year old 6'4" younin in pretty good shape. We ended up laying on the ground laughing. Your memories will start real quick.

Bob

 

Matt, I am very sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathies to you and your family.

 

I see it's another action packed evening in the breakroom!



Yay.
