Gotta go plow myself. I have to help out at the kids school in an hour.
beautiful day here, two doctor appointments and no pills! about 12 degrees but calm so it feels great, no gloves needed.
did little stocking stuffer gifts, making up boxes to ship to cool friends.
gonna finish some MORE gov work (after thinking I am done) and jump in the bathtub with a good book.
did get TRad's 'three for dinner' comment. POP is a soft drink that you may call soda. Aussie's say 'bubbley'; Japan has dispenser machines of 'poo'; and I cannot remember the german version. maybe Fronty has some other terms from his travels...Chaiwka says 'soder'...
have to go look up Madhat and see what he is up 2....

A couple of us were experiencing some problems this morning because it's taxing our computers to the point they wouldn't hardly work. Personally, mine is probably 5 years old. I'd upgrade but I can't afford it right now so I have to work with a Sempron 1.75 and a gig of ram. Add Norton to the mix and well..........sometimes a redneck palm pilot works faster.

Couldn't pass on the easy one girlfriend. Folks around here made fun of me when I moved south. They'd ask if I wanted something to drink, I'd answer sure, I'll take a pop. They'd ask what kind, I'd say Pepsi, they'd say how 'bout a Coke. OK, that good, they'd ask what kind. At that time there was only one. I figured out pretty quick that Coke here is like pop there.

Suppose to snow tonight and tomorrow around here.
Nice having a usable block heater on the truck again.
Worked in the garage today on a few misc things. Did a little cleaning and rearranging of my tool box.
Wife got out of work early today and is out with my sister doing some Christmas shopping.

You forgot to add that I re-arranged the Janitor too!
Getting any snow up your way?
We're only suppose to get a couple inches here. I have a couple friends that plow in the winter and they haven't even dropped their blades yet. The stuff that came through here a few weeks ago didn't amount to much.



now I get to plow my drive

No one will say you're fast, but I bet you'll be thorough!
