Just got back from playing the man in red with the white beard at a Christmas Party. Had lots of fun. My daughter had no idea it was me. With her being three [4 in Jan] we have some fun with her.

Night all.

Sinus infection are the worst, I hope you feel better.

I am doing alright, busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest.

Thanks Tim. I've been getting them for about 12 yrs now and that first one I get every winter is always the worst. this was the first one of the winter for me so everyone after this should be a breeze!

Did you get any of the winter storm that passed through here yesterday?

That is a bad day.

Evenin' All!

Finally slowed down enough I can drop in. Been really busy this week. Hittin' the gym pretty hard and doing a lot around the house. Playing electrician, plumber and handyman this week. But all is good.

Got the Christmas lights hung on the house. Should have done it a couple weeks ago when it was 30* but I waited til it was -5*...... It works much better that way. Would have been better but the last strand I was hanging shorted out halfway up. It was a brand new set too.

Got a new kitchen sink to install as well this week. I have nearly everything I need but I think I'm gonna get new supply lines and shut off valves for it while I'm in there.

Also had a wheel bearing go bad on the truck this week. I think the seal failed and let a bunch of water inside and killed the inner bearing. It wasn't pitted or anything like I expected but it sure was a funny color. Stupid thing didn't want to turn when the temps got down to 0*. Above that it was fine but any colder it was like driving with the front brakes locked up. It's all better now though. Too bad the new bearing and race are made in China. Probly won't last.......

Christmas Shopping is done as is the Anniversary shopping. (7years on Tue.) All that's left is the wrapping.

And I'm safely locked up again for another week of nights. Just gotta keep the coffee on. The babysitter is still in Brazil so I get to Watch tghe kids during the day and work all night. Gonna need lot's of the heavy this week.

Well FO if it makes you feel any better I was cutting the top off of all the posts to set the beams on and lost my balance on the ladder, caught my thumb in the skill saw, and bled all over everything. Caught the artery on the side, looked like a bad horror movie. kinda cool actually. Worse part is I ruined a really good pair of gloves!!! Why don't they put a darned electric brake on skill saws??? Would have saved me 20 bucks for a new pair of gloves, and half a roll of paper towels!!

Evening all, hate to run through but I got get to the lumber yard early for more dead trees. Ya'll have a good evening!!!
