JOYRIDE!
Uh... I take my truck to work. That, and to get to my truck at work, you have to get through 3 security checkpoints. And I park close enough to my office that I'll hear it fire up. Try if you like, we can count the holes in you later...

Hey, man... I've worked hard for what I have, and I'm not about to let anyone take it away from me without a fight.

I know you guys are just playing, I am too about this conversation

Just don't mess around and try to come busting in my house one day as a joke. I usually carry around the house, if not, the pistol is not that far away from me. Me and the OL do break in drills... you should see the precision on that. We're down to around 10 seconds with the pistol in the bedroom responding to a front or rear door threat from the living room. Even the kids know what to do.

The more you sweat in practice, the less you bleed in war.

You should have seen the OL's target. Not as good as mine, but she keeps most of them in the 8 ring. I was going to do a his and hers on the front window.

Ok, enough playing around. Stuff to do before work. Like, finish this beer...

Thanks Blake, been thinking about having it changed for a while. I like jeffs upside down evil post count!


Evening DTR. Wife made it to mississippi alright. The wife, her sister, brother, and mom are out and about now I guess. They haven't seen their mom since the wedding in september. She said they are going to the gulf coast one day to hit the beach and then on saturday they are going to New Orleans.

Did some work at dads today, little welding on the wide front for the M. Part of it had been repaired before and i was happy with how the previous owner did the repair. I scarfed out the weld, ground the area, and put new weld in. Looks alot better now. We got the wide front ready today to blast and prime. We're gonna fit it to the tractor this week, the M will look good with that wide front on it.

Got a call from the power company today, the fleet maintenance dept asked if I would like to interview for a mechanic job. I told them I was waiting for the background check to come back for the labor job I interviewed and tested for. I'm gonna interview for the mechanic job too, since I already passed the test and the other interview they said it'll make the hiring process simpler for their dept if they decided to hire me as a mechanic. It pays more as a mechanic too.
