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.

That saves someone else the problem of doing it. 

Oh my goodness - - has it been that long? Time flies. She was just born last year - - how can she be three. Getting too old too quick. Stop the earth - - I want to get off. HELP.
Going to bed - - be good, gang.

Im having one of those days that would probably be better off having a cussing fit.
Battery completely died on my laptop. it would hold a charge of 8volts (should be 12 volts).
External hdd is deader than I thought. I got it hooked up and its being recognized by bios as 1/3 its size.
truck overheated coming home. lower radiator hose is leaking.
Swapped HDD to my personal install of win7. its corrupted.
I started downloading ubuntu. my internet connection flakes out. runs fine otherwise...
I have a half gallon of orange juice and no vodka.

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.
