It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!
Morning to all from Paradise. Looks like the beginning of another normal almost perfect day down here. Monday is a holiday here, so I am enjoying a three day weekend. No time change here yet. Not sure why, but for some weird reason I think we are a week or two behind the rest of North America. Heading out later today with some friends for a nice Mexican lunch at a restaurant.
Good luck to those that are starting new jobs and better luck to those still looking. Got to go and play with my sprinkler system once the temperature gets above 70 degrees.

Afternooner all!
Overcast here today and only about 2* or so. Still not bad considering ther is a decent amount of daylight out there these days.
The wife and I were doing a bit of bible study with the kids this AM and our 5yo said the funniest thing. We were discussing Genesis 1 and what was created on which day. When we prompted her about what was created on the same day as the creatures of the sea she was struggling a bit so I gave her a hint that it was something in the air... Her reply was "Reindeer".....
Kids are hillarious.
Sludge in the pot looks good. I'll have a slice.

Afternoon everyone.
Went to lunch with the wife today and made a Costco trip this afternoon.
The wife and her sister are taking a couple day trip next week to Mississippi to visit their mom. I'm staying behind on this trip, gonna do some work around here while she's gone.
How is everyone today?

Hey - - two lights on - - Marc and Matt. Hi guys and hope the day was good one. New jobs in sight - - now that is a good sound. We only need about 20 million more of them. Guess we need more 'CHANGE'. 
Gorgeous day down here in spite of the clocks getting messed up. Woke up at 5:30 new time so jumped up and got with it. Company here from Wisconsin - - more snow birds. Great people so nice to have them. They were cold - - poor babies - - tired of shoveling snow. Awwwww. After seeing their pics I don't blame them. Now it is in the 50's up there and snow is all melting causing problems. Can't win.
OK, better go be a good host - - ya'll be good.
