Cooked some super thick steaks tonight... then the regulator on my grill took a poo... Full tank of gas, not getting to the burners. Yes, I made sure the tank was on...
Just sprayed for some crickets outside (they are really bad here). Hope I don't die, I did not wear any PPE.
Got the truck fixed from the fiasco this morning...
Let's re-cap just today's fun...
Truck would not go over 25 this morning. I set the speed limiter to 25 and turned it way down while I was gone, figure if someone steals it, they won't tear it up. Set the limiter 2x, it still would not go over 25. Set it to stock, worked.
Got to work 10 minutes late. Not a big deal.
Someone switched my chair out with a broken one, as soon as I sat down, it dumped me on the floor. Hit pretty good, my back hurt for about 2 hours from that one.
Opened my work e-mail, over 850 e-mails, 700 of them from the system administrator telling me that my mail box was full.. It sends one every 15 minutes once the mail box hits a certain size. That's some smart stuff right there.
Nothing on my computer wanted to work after I got the e-mails fixed.
3 Marines gave me troubles all day.
Got a splitting headache... don't get them often.
Came home, kid was sick, moaning about his stomach. I did feel for him...
I chilled a bit, then started grilling some big steaks. Grill died, probably had 5 minutes left. OL's was done perfect, mine was still cool in the middle. I like mine mid rare, it was pretty rare.
Got the steaks in, kid barfs on floor.
Got the mess cleaned up, steaks were cold.
Sprayed some bug killer, was a dummy and did not wear a mask, got a little mist up the smeller. I'm probably gonna pay for that later tonight.
I'm fat.
Good notes: Wife came and visited me at work for about 30 minutes... very nice.
Got truck fixed, good stuff.
Pool is nice, bout 90*.
I'm still the baddest mother on the planet. (well, not really, but kinda)
Enjoying time with the wife, I really missed her.
I'm a MARINE!!!
All in all, not a bad day. All I need now is the roof to fall in, or the truck not to crank in the morning. Or, the roof to fall on the trucks. Or, the truck falling in the roof.
Thanks for tuning in...

Made me laugh (not at you) but it reminded me of times gone by. I started making invisible marks on the bottom of my chair at work so I could nail anybody who "traded" mine.
Gosh darn it, sometimes I had been born a jarhead instead of an army grunt. It all works out in the end. As a Trooper friend of mine (another crazy Marine) liked to say "in one hundred years will what happened today matter". I know it wasn’t his original saying but I always liked it.
Still nice outside so I gotta get too it....

Evenin' All!
Gorgeous day out there again. 75-80* and sunny.
Spent this AM helping a friend pull some engines out of a couple of Rangers. He's making 1 or 2 out of 4. Had a good time doing it. Good enough that I didn't get home in time for a nap before work tonight.
Gonna make for a long night but oh well, it's summer and I gotta enjoy it!
FO- Nice looking 1911 there. Mama bought me a Ruger LCP for Father's day. Nice little pocket gun. Working out well during this t-shirt and shorts weather.
I'll put on a pot of Coffee for any night owls out there.

stupid post turtles.....
No coffee today? Happy Friday, though it's my Thursday. One more day, then vacation. Hope to get the man cave done, some fishing, and some jeep mods.
Mark, could be worse. The chair leg could've broken off and lodged itself in a less than appropriate place. Hope things get better.

I'm not complaining, my life is great. I was just looking at the humor in it.
Aside from a cricket waking me up at 4 and not making coffee this morning, I'm living the dream!
